My wife and I are from Santa Cruz. We had visitors from Minnesota, and they had a WONDERFUL TIME (we did, too). Everything was great. Definitely highly recommended!

My wife and I walked to the restaurant within a couple of minutes. We were seated and asked about drinks very quickly. I had the BBQ ribs. The portion was big as it was a half rack of ribs(about 6 bones, plenty of meat and I think the sauce was house made. We will be back and I will recommend this place to friends.

The view is nice, but the food is nothing impressive.

Alcoholic slushy drinks were bomb. Ceviche was a hit too.

Great vibes ! Evan was my server he’s adorable and super attentive! I order the fish tacos and they were great, nice flavor ! I waited less than 20 mins for my food to come out . The drinks were strong and there’s live music on some days ! I would definitely come back . Santa Cruz was great and the beach views are everything!!!

Every time I'm in Santa Cruz, it's a must go to place.
Great time - Father's Day & graduation celebration. Casual, beach vibes, lunch food with choices for everyone, professional servers - plus drinks!

Very attentive. They do know how to offer you all the extras on the menu! Be ware! The food was just okay. Lots of butter, or cream or salt. Chowder was too heavy for my taste. Caesar salad had sub par lettuce and very little cheese. Steak was tender and flavorful ... it again lots of butter and in veggies.

Service was great! We had views of Santa Cruz wharf and at a distance was the boardwalk. The burger and garden scramble with bacon were really good. Great way to start the day by the beach!
