Santa Barbara Restaurant: Lunch at Brophy's

On our way back to Santa Monica from Cambria, we had lunch at Brophy Bros., 119 Harbor Way, Santa Barbara, a popular seafood restaurant and clam bar.

Their menu includes crab cakes, seafood pasta, scampi, swordfish, seabass, New York steak, among many others. Our favorite is the combination salad and clam chowder. Their clam chowder is the best I've eaten any where.

Here are some harbor pictures while we waited. It was a gorgeous day even though there were a few clouds and a bit of rain in some areas along the way. The last picture shows Lauren with his Anchor Steam beer.
