Another outstanding and delicious meal!! Every dish is a hit and consistently made delicious. The staff is amazingly kind and gracious. Our 9 year old loved the octopus and our 13 year old loved the Tuna steak! When even our kids who are not intrepid eaters are asking for the same dishes two nights in a row, it is good. Both those dishes were so perfectly seasoned, prepared and with incredible accompanying ingredients. That the staff is so warm and welcoming also is huge! Their drinks- loved the hang ten and their other specialty cocktails: The pasta dish with vegetables is amazing- so much flavor and the pasta was perfect. We ordered shrimp on the side of one dish and they were incredibly succulent and flavorful. Wines are all stellar- my wife works for a high end wine purveyor and approved. Deserts right up there as well. We have enjoyed dinners and breakfasts the past few days while staying at the Dream Inn and our entire family loves coming here because they have the best food and service and views to match in all of Santa Cruz!

Over priced and average. Obviously a tourist trap.

Best restaurant in Santa Cruz, for breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner. We love coming back here - they continue to crush it year after year!

Our waitress Mollie, was amazing and really made our evening special. Thank you Mollie for your kindness, suggestions and thoughtful conversation. We appreciate you.

The breakfast was delicious! I especially liked the toast and eggs.

Very expensive, but the food was lovely and service good. Sunday night at 21.15h everything was closing, very early, we were still having dinner.

This establishment FAR exceeded my expectations...perfect environment for a first date. We were seated right on time with a superb view of the boardwalk. We were fortunate to have Jon C for our server. He was professional, engaging and he paced the service with perfection. He read our energy well and made us feel at home.

Great time great service great food highly recommend this restaurant!!!!

My acallops were okay and Luke warm. Bill was over $180 with 2 childrens dishes for $12 each. Kids menu was good. Not a great value for the money. The ambiance was great. Hi

We had a reservation at 19:30 yet we had to wait for our table in 50 minutes. Anacceptable! Futhermore, one of the dishes was so bad that they had to remake it.
