There's no "u" in harbor. (Or the street's name.)

Read a review on CitySearch. In typical fashion, the staff have it
listed as "kid friendly;" some of the reviewers apparently disagree. I
could see Daughter-units Alpha and Beta enjoying the different
offerings of food (now) but Spawn's still at that stage where anything
beyond the familiar or gahd-ferbid offering a glimmer of taste and she
starts to squirm. It might be worth it just to see her shocked
expressions as her older sisters pop oyster shooters, though.

Gosh-o-mighty, this sounds like a press release.  Do you work for them,
doll?  And what's with the British spelling of "harbor"?  Eh, hon?  And
why is this posted to ba.food?  Are you/they expecting people to travel
down to Santa Barbara for craptacular food?

Hungry minds want to know.

I rarely travel to Santa Barbara. But I saved Julian's review for the
next time I visit. I found it useful and interesting. Unlike your
post.

Hours:
�  	Sun-Thu 11am-10pm;
�  	Fri-Sat 11am-11pm

Spot on, some of us get out of LA and like to know about good eats in other 
areas, right?!
I get down to LA, up to Seattle, Portland, over to other places too, so just 
ignore the person with blinders on who has a one track mind, complaining in 
that stupid fashion he has...

	Not the way you write it, but I labour under different
rules.

	With the high level of noisak and looking at the
clientele, I would hardly call it kid friendly.

	If you like Swans Oyster Depot in SF, you would love
Brophy's. A smilar menu, with the addition of tables and chairs
and a full bar. The bar staff in both places are hard working,
friendly and helpful.

	They are open all day. Great for a lazy afternoon.

Umm...what?  I go up to SF, Seattle, Vancouver BC, NYC, etc., a lot myself.
Plus I go to dozens of SoCal restaurants all the time.  Why a Bay Area
restaurant review is posted to la.eats is beyond me.

Please explain.

I congratulate you for your many travels and travails.  Brava.

My question is what "blinders" do you think I have on?  And what makes you
think I have "a one track mind".  I'll pass on your comment that I'm stupid, or
make stupid remarks; you are/do the same.   But still, this was a press release
pretending to be a review.

Apparently not the way the city planners write it either but they
labor under the same rules as I.

Clientele doesn't bother me as much as noisak; I prefer something that
doesn't produce a level three migraine before I finish my meal. It
sounds like the place is Left Bank Loud?
