Very elegant restaurant with a fantastic view . Quite expensive , but very good quality and attentive service . I had the baked oyster , and the excellent cioppino paired by a good glass of Chardonnay

Sandra Herrera

The crab bisque was a hit and the stuffed lobster with crab . Amazing! And kid friendly too. Service was on point.

Chicken chorizo fundido with lahvosh (a thin Armenian flatbread ) & a shrimp and white cheddar pizza are especially enticing in the happy hour menu with views of Monterey Bay . Read more

We loved this place, the ambiance is great and even in the night, you can see the lights of Santa Cruz. Service was good and the food was great! Nice sea view in the day! Try the terrasse for romance!

Great service at the bar & from our waitress . But we were not greeted like everyone else. I can make a whole lot of assumptions. Especially when the manager (Gelispe) was as nonchalant as he was.

Food is pretty decent for a big hotel , but the main reason to go here is to eat outside on the bay as the otters and kayaks swim by. Ahi and salmon are solids bets.

Samuel Padilla

Sitting out on the patio with the sound of the crashing waves and great view toward the pacific. Taste of the Clam Chowder Bread bowl was comfort.

Sarah R

Sit outside and enjoy scenic views . Try the chicken or filet mignon . Good coffee , too. Excellent service , especially from Colleen.

John Kidde

Awesome ocean view , bar area itself is small but you’re not here for that. Take a step outside and take in the scenery with your drink.

Alex

Cocktails and bar bites were awesome and the view was incredible!!

Calamari paired with Anchor Steam beer and a table out on the patio is the way to go.

Great seafood . Friendly staff .

Ask for binoculars to check out the otters and sailboats.

Awesome place for a romantic dinner . Our server Nicholas was awesome!
