Shadowbrook Restaurant Reviews
Racist restaurant, the hostess refused to honor my reservation and called me a Ching Chong. Would never come back. For a restaurant in such a liberal city, I would expect much better. I drove here all the way from San Francisco and that’s the type of service I received. Will never come back. Can’t believe the owners would hire such racist people, never got to try their food so can’t comment on that.
This restaurant is in great spot. The scenery and ambiance are elegant and immersive, with most dining areas offering beautiful landscaped surrounding and unique views of nearby river. The staff are warm and attentive.
Just happened on this place by doing map search for restaurants while in Watsonville. It was magical! Beautiful buildings & gardens. We are on the heated patio & just loved it. Excellent food: ribeye, & steak & lobster. Delish wedge salad too. Took the dessert home & enjoyed that too; the accompanying ice cream was the best. Very lovely experience.
