My experience here from start to finish was phenomenal. The attention to detail with the amazing staff, the drink options and the food was on point. Walked in and had a quick sit at the bar – had the mussels and grilled oysters. So…Soooo good! the freshness, the depth of flavor. Just amazed.

Great menu to pick from. The kampachi was delicious and delightful. I was greeted with a smile and had a seat in minutes. Food arrived quickly. Server was friendly and polite. I definitely will be back. Their seafood menu has a lot of options to try.

Can be a little pricey, but the food was pretty good.
$2 happy oysters, chef’s choice! I forget the name of the oysters, they weren’t ones I was familiar with, but they were decently fresh and plump. They were of the milky variety, not my fav, but still good. I appreciate that they are properly stored and shucked not far in advance. Best $2 oysters you are probably gonna find.
We tried several other items. I had the rockfish sandwich and it was really good and I don’t tend to want fish sandwiches. I’d get it again for sure. Also had the mussels in a thai lemongrass broth, covered with shoestring fries and shaved parmesan. It’s an appetizer, but really you could just have that as a meal, and a delicious one at that.
I didn’t try the trout or sashimi, but wife said they were good.

Food was great. We sat at the bar and the bartenders were very knowledgeable and friendly. Definitely get the fries and mussels! Will not disappoint. Pork belly was great. We also loved the beet salad. Wine selection is amazing..

This place was really good! The seafood was super fresh and delicious. We especially loved the mussels – they were full of flavor and cooked just right. The extra thin fries were also a big favorite – crispy and tasty. Overall, it’s a great place to eat, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone who enjoys good seafood.

The food was delicious. Come during happy hour for some nicely priced cocktails. I recommend the spicy margarita they have. Super attentive servers who were really knowledgeable about menu items.
The mussels were also delicious in a light savory and mildly sweet broth. Highlight of the meal for sure!
They have seasonal items so I look forward to coming back and trying new things.

Overall a great experience, however I would give it a 4 star based on the food.
The food is good, nothing extraordinary, however once I start getting into $50 per head territory, I have higher expectations from the food.
For the appetizer, we got the smoked striped Bass which was highlight for food for the night. It was well seasoned, crunchy bottom. overall, set a good expectation for the night.
For the mains, we ordered the Mt Lassen Trout and Risotto. The trout felt less seasoned/ tasteful than I would have liked and the Risotto was alright. Overall, was slightly below expectations.
The experience was great, service was good, lively atmosphere and located in downtown Santa Cruz!

Importantly, we returned to this place for our second time two days after our first arrival!
That’s how much we enjoyed it! A huge thanks to Rain and Carmen at the bar with their stellar service and fun presence!
Our first visit involved a dozen oysters, clean and ready to eat. Half were Marin Bays and the other half were Pleasure Points. Delicious with a spritz of lemon and a side of hot sauce.
We followed up with the Pan Seared Striped Bass joined by the side dish for their trout dish, a roasted Yukon gold potatoes, carrot and celery root salad with a caper olive vinaigrette.
We enjoyed it all with a bottle of Sancerre!
The following visit, we enjoyed more oysters and cocktails during their Monday happy hour!
I had a Carmen Lúcia and she had an Emerald City, both great!
Also, and this is also important, one of the best Cosmopolitans my lady has had on the west coast. Amazing!

Our bartenders tonight were great! Very friendly and played our trivia game with us. Which is why I give the extra star. However, the manager, long red hair in a braid, after we got our check and were going to pay, the bartender noticed we were paying with cash and told us they don’t have change. So we gathered exact change. Then the manager told us that they are a “cashless establishment”. So, she obviously lied to us. You are a restaurant, that makes CASH tips. And your bartender said you don’t have change, not that you are cashless. Thankfully my friend had her debit card on her, but I was planning to pay and all I had on me was cash. What if that was our only option of payment? What then? We were not informed that they were “a cashless establishment” and there are no signs outside of their restaurant. So yah, their manager is a liar and will lie to you for the convenience of their restaurants time. I’ve worked in fine dining restaurants for many years and this is not acceptable. I really really like the drinks and food here, and was really shocked to be very obviously lied to.

Saturday’s fine dining experience at Hook & Line in downtown Santa Cruz was exceptional. The Happy Hour menu offered an incredible value with high-quality food and ambiance. Must-trys include the perfectly breaded and seasoned calamari, flavorful deviled eggs, and mouthwatering fish and chips. Attentive service and creative mocktails enhanced our experience!
