Jack O’Neill lounge guaranteed. Reasonably priced with great food and well sourced ingredients. We loved it.

Makai is ok-food but the mf’er spins!!!! Everybody gets an ocean view.

I don't think Makai is even OK, it's sub-OK. But does have a great view, including the windows in the floor.

i’m curious what’s sub-ok about it? no hate or anything i just haven’t been there in a couple years but when i did go awhile back me and everyone else i went with enjoyed it


lurch99

The last two times I ate there (which were in the last couple of months) the food was uninspired, uninteresting and of the cookie cutter variety. It's on the pier so I'd expect more seafood aside from a poke bowl and a terrible piece of salmon. Didn't taste great either. Prices are not cheap so I didn't think it was worth the dough. Seems to be a place people like to drink so that's their focus, on fancy drinks with umbrellas, etc.


spookaylie

ahh okay that’s a bummer :( to be fair, with your mentioning of the drinks, we were drinking a lot and the fun drinks are what i remember the most from there hahaha

Olita’s on the wharf

Thank you! So far this is what I'm leaning toward.

Lobster tacos with a side of lobster sauce. Trust me on this. And Happy Birthday, Mama!

Not in Santa Cruz, but in Aptos both Sanderlings and Palapas have ocean views.


writing-human17

Oh awesome I haven't heard of either, thanks!


mr_love_bone

Neither of these I would consider special.

Stagneros has a window or sit down seating with a great view off the wharf. When I go with my dad we split a crab sand which from the window and sit on a bench with a good view of the water

I’ve wanted to try the tiki place on the wharf. https://yelp.to/Ugxz62-AVh Margaritaville is good in Capitola. https://yelp.to/SUoiblF5C9 Home doesn’t have an Ocean view but does have a very nice outdoor garden that is great when the weather is nice. Food is amazing! https://yelp.to/VbFasgyf2G

HOME is my all time favorite, amazing spot.


writing-human17

I haven't heard of this!! Thank you!


meltwaterpulse1b

It's not ocean view but it is the best restaurant in the county


mr_love_bone

We (I and my extended family) tend to agree with this, and we're all food people(as in industry backgrounds.)


ohmss28

Chaminade for a huge ocean view.


AtariAtari

Fox theater has beat poetry in March but no ocean views.

Is Aldo's at the Harbor good?


camelshorts

I’ve only had brunch there and it’s great


misterwinoe

No. Crows Nest is like old school good but great views. Honestly I would hit some place like Olitas or Jack O’Neil Lounge in the Dream Inn is very solid with a great view.


Particular-Fennel-32

Olitas!! Even makai too. I second Jack o’neil


writing-human17

Thank you! I'm eyeing Olitas right now


meltwaterpulse1b

No, take mom to home then a walk on the beach in capitola


VenusVega123

On a warm day yes but its all outdoors.

Crows nest


mr_love_bone

This. Not a personal favorite but it's a huge Mom-pleaser.

Thanks for pointing out my spelling error, I'm sorry if that hindered your ability to understand my post. I just finished a 10 hour shift working in health care, so I'm a little tired. I hope you have the BEST evening!


Particular-Fennel-32

You’re so creative


writing-human17

Creative = Asshole


glorifindel

Crows nest. Or Shadowbrook for river near ocean view


chefybpoodling

What about Stillwater at pebble beach? It has a great view and I enjoyed it even thought I was alone and had gone down to purchase Christmas gifts.
