Ernesto's pasta was yummy!!! My husband had the Cioppino and loved it!! We are definitely going back next time we are in Santa Cruz!

You're paying for the view. It's not a bad view, it's a great view. You've just got to decide if that view is worth it. For me it was… once.

Wonderful wait staff today, clean but worn inside, air not bad but not fresh, restrooms only slightly perfumed, Fantastic View!

Several different diners on the wharf I prefer Miramar or Gilda's for diner food here. For fresh fish I prefer Stagnaro Bros.

Get Ernesto's Pasta with the Old World sauce. Amazing!! Ps don't order an appetizer. The entrees are huge.

Crab 🦀 sandwich and clam chowder with the locals ( avoid we )

The sampler plate + martinis + fresh oysters on the half shell will make you feel like you're in Mad Men.

Ask for the market price before ordering an entree without a price.
Maximum BurgerSeptember 12, 2021
Even hungry, bread bowl was only fine. Overpriced too obviously. Fast at least, and scenic
Jesse  WilsonJuly 6, 2012
If it says market price, ask for the price! Crab legs cost $42!

Try the Lala's Medley. It's my favorite here.

Poor service, worse in the upper deck. Crispy calamari is not Crispy and too breaded. Ernestos pasta is ok but not to die for. Crab cakes lack flavor and the aioli doesn't even taste like aioli.

Kevin K and the Bar Boys upstairs .. Go up and sit on the patio and chill!
Scott HarrisJune 22, 2014
Don't order the prawn tacos... Your entire group will finish eating before your order is ready

Very average but overpriced food. The fried calamari, fish & chips and clam chowder are all meh.
Bruce SantoSeptember 15, 2012
Best clam strips ever !! I drive here just for the clam strips.
Lauren LangoneJune 8, 2012
Freshest oysters on the half-shell...great happy hour!

Fish Tacos and their own IPA.

JillDecember 29, 2011
Stop for a beer on the upper deck patio and enjoy the view!
Eliseo SotoAugust 21, 2011
The clam chowder in a bread bowl is a big portion, but the Crabcake sandwich is very disappointing
Melanie OrlandoJanuary 14, 2012
Make sure you have some quarters... They charge $.25 for mints!!
KiltedDecember 20, 2010
ask for garlic aioli for the Calamari
Emilee GardnerFebruary 20, 2012
Look for the derp fish that likes to hide face down in the corner of the tank and look dead =]
Tiffany GuzmanNovember 3, 2013
Disappointed. I have had better fish & chips. Clam chowder was barely warm & had an overpowering fishy taste. So disappointed!
Tami IncognitoFebruary 13, 2012
Been here 5+ times
Try the chocolate covered ants.
IrisJanuary 17, 2011
Clam chowder is delicious!
Marshall ChildsMay 22, 2012
Great view Fundsvision

Tried to eat there - bored hostess didn't even notice me walk in and blew me off to seat people would walked in after me....
Debbie OrlandoJanuary 14, 2012
Food was good. The waitress was mean and unpleasant :(
Morgan C.December 29, 2013
Food is diner style - salty and overproduced Clam Chowder is adequate, but no where near awesome. The best is the Very Fresh Fish. Drinks are fine. Come for the service, not the food.
IrisJanuary 17, 2011
Try to find the Pope's blessing!
Melanie OrlandoJanuary 14, 2012
Food was okay. But the waitress seemed to have a stick up her ass.
Bosie MoncrieffJanuary 2, 2017
Tasteless, greasy, overpriced. Avoid.
Alexey StepanovSeptember 14, 2014
Об служили очень быстро не смотря на то, что половина сотрудников отвлекалась на китов. Очень вкусно, относительно размеров порций подсказывают.
Olga ShamMarch 12, 2014
Очень очень очень долго готовят, но офигенный вид с верхней палубы оправдывает ожидания
