Pleasantly surprised by the food and service at this restaurant! We stopped for lunch while strolling through town and had the opportunity to sit outside with an unobstructed view of the Capitola Venetian Hotel. We both enjoyed salads (generous portions) and split homemade beignets with chocolate and caramel sauce. The fresh brewed coffee was local from Santa Cruz. Our server, Serena, was delightful and attentive.

First time eating here, Father’s Day brunch. Servers were very friendly. Everyone enjoyed their meals. I was pleasantly surprised by the chilaquiles. I have yet to find anywhere in Santa Cruz that knocks it out of the park (Stationaery in Carmel, and Tacubaya in Berkeley setting the bar) but these were quite good. Although my wife enjoyed her eggs Benedict, the hollandaise sauce was definitely lacking in lemon (I do not want to make assumptions, but I feel as though it might’ve not been made in house) and I personally would’ve been disappointed had been my dish. That being said, their poached eggs were perfectLy runny.

I had lunch on a Saturday afternoon. It was quite busy. We decided to sit inside because there were no tables on the patio and we thought it would be good to get out of the sun. The restaurant is very open and has great views of the beach and water. Even though it was busy, our waitress came over right away to get our drink/appetizer order. We ordered crab cakes for an appetizer. They were very good! Plenty of crab, not super dense, and wasn’t filled with the “binder” most restaurants use. Our drinks/appetizer came out quickly. For our meal, I ordered the blu cheese burger. My wife ordered the lobster grilled cheese. Once again, our food came out quickly. You wouldn’t have thought they were busy. My burger was a 1/2lb waygu burger topped with chunks of blu cheese, onion straws, tomatoes, pickles, and lettuce. It was big! It was absolutely delicious! The waygu beef melted in your mouth. The blu cheese added a creamy pop of flavor to the burger. It came with fires, which I had garlic added to. In my opinion, well worth the $22 price. My wife’s lobster grilled cheese was equally as good! It had big chunks of lobster surrounded by gooey melted cheese. This was the second restaurant we ate at in Capitola. Definitely a great eating experience to be had in Capitola! Great food, excellent service, and a great atmosphere!

Lovely beachside bar and grill. We were greeted by the delightful Eva who was also our server. She was perfectly attentive, brought us water right away, and gave us good recommendations. We had the happy hour drinks which were delicious, and ordered the coconut shrimp as an appetizer. Very plump and yummy shrimp. The menu had an excellent variety – something for everyone. The side salads were much larger than expected and quite good. Our main dishes included fish tacos, the halibut dinner, and the French dip sandwich. All meals offered generous portions and were fresh and perfectly cooked. We did not have room for dessert but the options were tempting. We highly recommend this Capitola by-the-sea restaurant!

Cute bar and grill with plenty of food options service was very good . I got the French dip with prime rib. It was very good although the dipping sauce was extremely salty. But all in all very good nice beach front view would still recommend.

Although the server was so sweet, I would’ve never ordered a $28 pasta had I known the pasta wouldn’t have been sweet or spicy like it described. It was bland and they threw on raw onions and bell peppers. The cheesy garlic bread was amazing though! I wanted to come support after hearing what they were going through with their landlord. Amazing service, I just think they should work on seasoning their food a little better. Maybe I came in on a bad day because I have liked their restaurant for years now.

Everything was delicious with generous portions. Awesome clam chowder and I’m picky. Salads were beautiful, fresh and delicious, definitely shareable. Calamari was yummy too. We’ll be back! 🙂

We had lunch here on Saturday. We sat at the balcony and really enjoyed the fantastic view and chill vibe! However, the reason I gave two stars because the service is bad.
