I had a fantabulous time there. Great ending of summer place to be spending the afternoon. Good food, great music and people enjoying dancing. Love it.

We live above the Capitola Village and decided to have our rehearsal dinner here. They were amazing. We have come here for years to hang out and listen to bands upstairs. They closed the whole restaurant for us and we had the whole inside to ourselves. Amazing! The manager there is adorable and so sweet and gave us the best service along with the bartender and the cook! Love this place. Always have. If you have a event, this is the coolest spot. We had the bar to ourselves as well! Thank you for the wonderful night we had.

Yummy with a view! A lot of people don’t really know about this spot unless you are a local, since it doesn’t get drive-by traffic and is the only restaurant on the Capitola wharf. It is a hidden little gem on the water. This place offers lunch and breakfast.The club sandwich was delicious! The Eggs Benedict looked tasty as well. It is a tiny spot so make sure you make a reservation for a larger party. It seemed busier for breakfast and their menus looked excellent. They have a small bar to sit at as well and enjoy a beverage.They have some outdoor seating as well; you can watch the fishermen catch fish from the pier. It is a great location, and they serve excellent food. It is right near the Capitola village. They only have a few parking spots close by, so your best bet for parking is on the hill overlooking the wharf, and you can walk sown from there. Alternatively, you can park in the Capitola village and walk over.I will definitely be back for breakfast next time!

We arrived at the Wharf House on a Sunday afternoon about 2:00pm in November, and had our choice of tables with a view. Becca our server quickly became our friend, and she provided excellent service during our first visit. The decor of the restaurant is charmingly nautical. My wife loved the clam chowder that was served in a sour dough bowl, and said it was much better than the clam chowder she had the day before in another Capitola restaurant. I enjoyed the Capitola Club sandwich, and our 10-year-old son thought the kids cheese burger and fries were great! They we adult size at a kid's price too. The view from our table was fantastic! Overall, ehe experience exceeded our expectations, and we look forward to our second visit.

The food is wonderful! I am not a fan of Claim Chowder. I have to get a bowl every time I eat here. The staff are the best! Very welcoming and great hospitality!The lunch prices on here are incorrect. The lunch is more expensive than listed. Worth every penny!There is paid parking at the peer. 1$ per hour. Super cheap!

Cozy place to grab a beer and a bite, as long as it is something fried. I'd hope for more/better seafood options being literally over the water. Still, no material complaints.

Food has always been good. I love coming here when they do live music upstairs.. Thats my favorite part!

Enjoyed our lunch on the Wharf over the weekend. Great weather and meal was quite good. Definitely would return when in Capitola!

Cosy little restaurant at the end of the pier.Pricing surprisingly good, food is haute cuisine, but all the fish is quite fresh and besides the fact that most fish is batter, the rations are decent and it's as good as you can expect.The setting is very nice, the place is slightly rocking in the wind and waves which adds a dimension to the experience. They serve great drinks!Service of drinks was slow, but we were a group of 22, and there were other people in the restaurant, so nothing wrong with that.

Understaffed with only one server and one bartender on a beautiful summer weeknight. So we can guess how bad the wait times are. Dirty dishes are left on the empty tables so long it's unsanitary. They automatically factor in the tip even for takeout for one person. They probably can get away with bad service since they're the only place on the wharf to have a nice meal. That still won't make me want to go back there. But on the plus side, the fish and chips are the tastiest I've had so far.

Great live band, excellent drinks, good food, and wonderful service. We had a great time and will definitely be back!

Excellent place to eat. Waitress/ Cook went over the top with her service. My bf asked for a stick if butter n she actually melted a stick of butter for us... and the view is excellent...Imagine it's at the end of the wharf in Capitola. How good does it get.. Love my Clam Chowder on a bread bowl.
