The Crow's Nest - Santa Cruz

Stopped by for a late lunch and was disappointed that the main dining room was closed until dinner service, however, we were directed to the grill located upstairs also with beautiful sea views. I was nervous that the more casual fare wouldn’t be as good as the dining room, but was pleasantly surprised. It was our best meal during our California trip. Calamari was amazing, clam chowder, heavenly and the soup of the day, carrot and ginger was equally impressive. All tasted so fresh and seasoned perfectly. I had the pear salad, yum, and my husband had the wild caught salmon. Parking was easily available and atmosphere was wonderful. Great wait staff, too!

We live close so we eat the often. The service is very good they always have enough Servers etc. to take care of the large volume of people that come in the food is always good for New York State is the best A a little pricey but worth it. It does tend to be noisy so I would advise not bringing young children .

The Crowsnest is a place I always visit when I’m in SC. Came here for dinner Sunday. I had the fish tacos with mango with a nice light herb aioli and my man had the portobello sandwich and clam chowder . The food was flavorful and came out timely. Big bonus is that we caught the comedy show after 3 comics performed and we had some laughter after a good meal . What a great evening.!!!

Dinner yesterday evening was delicious! We had a large group of ten, and our waiter was awesome!!! Very nice and courteous! I definitely would recommend Crows Nest! Our family enjoys going to dinner here!

Great casual atmosphere. Was there for the live music, the John Michael Band, at the bar upstairs. Fun great time! Ate appetizers, the fresh made potato chips are awesome. Highly recommend.
