Crowded in the evening but nicely located on Santa cruise beach.
Beautiful scene of ocean with boats floating in the serene atmosphere.
We enjoyed Fish and chips, crab cake loaded with cream, cheese was too tasty, pacific rim chicken, Ravioli was super tasty. Cabernet sauvignon wine enhanced the enjoyment of the evening.
Due to the weekend rush service was slowed.

The atmosphere and service were great. I had the Dabs which were cooked to perfection. My brother had a shrimp and crab sandwich which was very good. I would have rated it higher but I was shocked when I got the bill for two beers (one each) we had before being seated. With an average tip it was $45! I will not go back just for that one fact.

We love this place.
We prefer to sit upstairs and get the best view from a window seat.
I think I’ve tried most everything on the menu and it’s all great. The house made chips are fantastic so be sure to get them. The smoked salmon is very tasty as well as the Ahi salad.
Surprisingly they make a terrific burger. Of course there is always fish and chips and a bowl of chowder. Be sure to stop by. It’s a bit pricey but worth it .

First time here.
Very nice place. Good food, good views, good service. Close to the harbor and beach. Our table had a great view of the lighthouse! Staff said upstairs was bar and grill area (better for adults). Indoor and outdoor seating. Bathrooms are a bit tight but clean. They give a free coupon for soft serve at the beach market next door to our kid with his kids menu. Parking was $2 for our time there.
We would come again if we are passing by for another coastal road trip!

Beautiful location for an outdoor lunch! The upper deck was filled with sunshine and incredible views. Our server was fun and very informative, helping us make a few amazing choices. The Ahi Tuna app was incredible!

Good good, good service. Everything came out reasonably fast and tasted great. Most items were fairly priced. Staffs were friendly and accommodating.

Great spot on the ocean with outdoor seating upstairs or downstairs overlooking paddleboarders and boats on the water. Two different restaurants, but great food options either place. Hot fresh food, fast service, friendly staff, ample parking for a small fee. I had the fish and clam chowder and he had the French dip. Both yummy! And the pink lemonade was bomb!

We opted to dine here instead of our usual Shadowbrook destination and it was a Huge mistake! Had a 6:30 reservation and was seated immediately. My daughter ordered the ONLY chicken dish on the menu and was told they were out of chicken at 6:30. We all ordered the salad bar at $13.00 a piece on top of our dinner cost. There were no croutons left and salad dressing was at a minimum. Our steak had no flavor at all although cooked properly and our baked potato had SO many sour cream chunks we spit it out! We mentioned it to our server and was offered mashed potatoes which we declined. Such a disappointment celebrating our birthdays and traveling from out of town. We should have stuck with Shadowbrook from the beginning. Never again. They also added a service charge and we had to pay for parking they do not validate!

Noting experience as a single diner mid-40 female. I came in for happy hour and knew in advance what I wanted to order. I did sit in a window seat in the upstairs bar but felt I would be quick, getting an appetizer and drink. While it would have been quick, I waited 35 minutes for the bill to be dropped off/picked up and paid out. I saw other servers using a hand devise and doing this instantly.. I was made to wait to pay so I could leave. I was also not offered info on drink specials that I asked about and was not given options to upgrade my drink as others were around me. The only tip I got from my waiter was that the app I ordered, crab cocktail, was not 1/2 off which I was aware of as I came in for that dish. It’s unfortunate. Maybe I should have sat at the bar and not taken a window seat but I was planning to be there 30 minutes, was slow when I arrived at 3, and ended up sitting waiting to pay for 35 minutes of my 1 hour long time there. It felt purposeful but I don’t know what happened.. everyone else seemed to be in and out with better service from the other servers. Maybe mine was having a hard night, if so get someone to help instead of making the single person sit for 35 minutes while you help the new groups coming in. Hoping for better times ahead.

A superb restaurant with lovely views of the harbor and lighthouse. Lily was my server and she did a terrific job. Very accommodating when I asked for surf n turf when it wasn’t on the menu. Hats off to the chefs, the steak was phenomenal, highly recommend it. Prices are very reasonable for the location, ambience is just perfect, a great place to stop for dinner or lunch when you’re in town. Be aware you do have to pay for parking though.
