Best Seafood Restaurants in Santa Ynez

Every part of our meal was amazing, food, cocktails, wine by the glass and of course service. Even the bread basket is amazing.

From the owners to the chefs to the servers to the hosts, BLC consistently provides a top notch culinary experience at every level. Their knowledge and enthusiasm for the food permeates, from the boquerones to the cute little shrimp that holds down your bill. The menu is limber, so it is easy to craft many different meals, each journey just as exciting as the last. The wine list is a mix of local and foreign wines that is as fun, approachable, high quality and as intriguing as the restaurant itself. The Peruvian scallops are divine, truly a dish I crave often and my wife plans her work schedule around the fried chicken sandwich, making sure our reservations are early enough that it won’t have sold out. We love this restaurant. The paella, the Secreto (please keep it on the menu!) try it all, you can not go wrong. And do not skip dessert. Huge shout to Roy, your warmth and hospitality always brightens our day.

Our server, Martha, was outstanding. She unobtrusively took care of all our needs.

An excellent experience from start to finish! The food was absolutely delicious, and the service was outstanding. Everything was wonderful, and I can’t recommend it enough. A must-visit! Highly recommend! ⭐️

Very good traditional Mexican food and margaritas. The staff was excellent; food was plentiful and very well made. Highlights, Chili Relleno, warm tortilla chips and the house made tortillas for the tacos and enchiladas were great. The margaritas were delicious and well made. This restaurant and bar is in a small strip mall, however the ambiance, food with the service could take you anywhere South of the boarder. Thank you
