The location was amazing but everything else was just ok. Two of the four of our party didn’t eat much of their food - one was drowning in butter and the other was just not tasty. Wanted to love it but didn’t.

Fish and chips—3 small-sized pieces of slightly undercooked cod and somewhat soggy fries for $22. First and last time.

Came for brunch on a Monday. Not crowded. We advised the hostess we had a open table reservation but our name was never taken because they were not busy. Service was okay, but slow for a not so busy Monday. When the check was given, we asked about our reservation being accounted for, the server didn’t even know what open table was. Proceeded to ask someone while walking off with our check and credit card. Came back and said the restaurant didn’t participate. So I asked to speak with the manager. He left the check at our table and proceeded to walk away with our credit card in hand again. Finally the manager came up and explained their process, telling us we had to let them know…which we had but no one asked us for our name because they were not busy. She said it would be marked, which they did. The server finally arrived back to our table with our credit card and asked if we were ready to pay. Needless to say, I was not impressed by the lack of experience or education of the staff to follow through. More just going through the motions. Otherwise the view was nice and the food was okay…but nothing I would rave about. There’s better places out there for sure.

It is a great place to eat, right on the beach with awesome views of the ocean. The food was good and came out very fast. Love this place!

View is great. The food is average to below average.

This is our favorite breakfast spot in Capitola. Great ambiance and great food!

It’s a fund place for drinks and appetizers. But the entrees are severely lacking.

Overall the experience was good.

Real nice location and real good food. Menu was of good size.

We had a party f 9 and enjoyed our experience
