We sat at the corner table outside with views of everything and had a great dinner. Started with custom martinis and oysters. The special grilled oysters with butter and lime were delicious. Then split a small Caesar salad and finally shrimp and grits for me and branzino and grits for him. All very good. Service was great too. Not an inexpensive dinner but well worth it. We will be back.
Love this place have been here several times when it first opened it was one of my most favorite places. Something has changed with menu and drinks but still a great place.
Our server Larry was so knowledgeable, friendly and patient. He even treated us to a pistachio gelato for my birthday. He made our first time visit in capitola off to a great start! Would recommend Pete, Larry and the gang again!

Pete's Capitola is a fine dining restaurant with a great beach view, located on the edge of the ocean in Capitola Village. It offers enchanted evening views over Monterey Bay, perfect for a date night. The restaurant features a heated outdoor patio as well as fine indoor dining, with decor that is clean and comfortable.
The menu is incredible, with delicious dishes that are presented in a thoughtful and pretty way. Favorites from the menu include the superb ahi appetizer, the amazing tempura crab with lobster sauce, and the exquisite Crudo, which melts in the mouth. The persimmon butter and focaccia toast, the Wagyu Polish sausage, and the Porcini Agnolotti are also wonderful. For mains, the perfect filet mignon, the striped bass, and the Wild Mushroom Bolognese are all standout dishes. Desserts are yummy, including the French cruller with espresso ice cream and whip cream and the Apple Creme Brulee.
The service is stellar, top notch, wonderful, attentive, and friendly. The staff is courteous, knowledgeable, efficient, and not intrusive, making guests feel welcomed. The overall experience is far above the typical California beachfront restaurant, offering Monterey quality and standards for a reasonable price. It is a favorite destination for a wonderful evening.
