Really nice dog friendly place to eat. We sat outside on the patio in a nice day and ordered the Thai peanut salad, prawn pizza, stuffed avocado appetizer and chicken strips kids meal. Everything was delicious and the service was great. The staff regularly checked in on us to make sure we had what we needed and out drinks were full and they brought out a dog bowl with water for our dog. Great place to bring your furry friend and enjoy the nice weather with a good meal. Highly recommend.

Nice place, good food and not far from the beach. Great place for family and friends to enjoy a bite and check out the shops or go to the beach after.

The atmosphere is casual so if you’re looking for high-quality business environment you’re not going to find it here. However the atmosphere is just perfect for this place. The staff are always very friendly and accommodating, and I have never been served something that I didn’t think was delicious.
In addition they have bourbon Wednesdays. On Wednesdays my wife and I like to eat there and then walk to the Esplanade down in Capitola for the music. You get a flight of wind whiskey…at a reasonable price so you get a chance to try some different types of bourbon rather than the same old thing.
They also make a killer old fashioned that has a happy hour special you can’t beat.
Down below it asks how much we spent…and that it always depends on how much liquor we order. Everything seems reasonable for what it is.

The best pizza I’ve had in a long time. We got takeout, and it was still fresh when we got home. The restaurant looked clean and upscale. Parking is tight, but that’s SC.

Went here last year and the food was terrible. Gave it another chance last night and the food was horrible again. I ordered a bowl of chili since they have all they chili awards plastered on the wall, I figured it was probably decent. The chili came and right off the bat I knew it was going to be bad. The chili “bowl/Plate?” don’t know what to call it, more of a plate about 1 in in depth or less. So, portion rip off ($18) for about a cup of chili spread out over this plate thingy. It was luke warm at best, so really should not have been served. If you want understand the taste, go make some ground beef in a taco seasoning packet from the store and you would have a better flavor. I don’t complain to waiters since it’s not really their fault (service was ok), so I ate it. Sure enough, woke up with a cramping stomach and what could be described as mild food poisoning. 160 to 170 degrees is the correct temp for this dish not <100. The place is also really worked. The sugar holder was cracked and had pieces missing, the condiments holder was rusted and dirty. I suppose if you ordered bar food like fried anything, it might be ok, hard to say. Just another example of tourist food and ripping off customers, don't know how it gets 4 stars.

This is my new favorite restaurant in Santa Cruz County. It’s very rare for me to ask for something to be cooked just so and they actually do it. Thanks to the chef for getting my shrimp just right! I recently had the most amazing kale salad. I want to go back again soon and hope it’s still on the specials menu. I love a restaurant that has a consistently good menu but also offers interesting specials so you never know what you’re going to get to try. The staff comes by and checks on drinks and makes sure all is well. Excellent service. Their specials are very innovative and have great flavor combinations. I highly recommend the East Side Eatery!

Every time we go here we are more and more pleased. It’s a great spot for us to bring the kids. They have excellent cocktails and can double them for $2 more. They have by FAR the best chili around. Beanless chili. A rare find! They use great bread on their sandwiches. One critique is that I think their fried pickles are cut a bit thick which makes them a bit too salty. Other than that, it is great! Very fair prices. Only $1 to add avocado!!

They’ve won several awards for their chowders.
It was my first time having a Manhattan chowder. It was very good & had quiet a kick, but I will go with the classic Boston chowder next time.
Their nachos were good, staff is nice, & cool area next to a lot of other shops. Pretty busy for a Monday

I was in Santa Cruz for a five day vacation and was so lucky to find this amazing place. The freshest food. We ordered two appetizers and they were so good we ordered them again! The service is amazing, the manager was our waitress and she was amazing! We loved it so much we ordered delivery last night and I am grabbing breakfast for the road trip back home. It’s that good.
