LOOK HOW BIG AND JUICY THEY R!!!!! the views were incredible! boat, bird, water points docked only for super high price tag LOL, but for the view i kinda get it. chairs felt a bit claustrophobic on the back patio hehe they were kind enough to give me FREE CAKE! read more

I used to come here a lot with my parents and the last time I visited with a group, not only was the service not that good, but they charged me 20% gratuity and and operational fee. Why is it that expensive now! Food came out burnt or dry, communication about the menu items lacked detail, and although the place was busy, everyone didn't even seem to be enjoying their time dining. Pretty setting , terrible food and customer service (phone person). The phone person said there was no wait when I called in, and upon arriving , mind you only 10 mins later all of a sudden the wait went from 0 to 45 mins wait for my party size. Smh read more

Came here for my birthday dinner with a party of five. Walking into this place feels like walking into a piece of history. It has the feel of a classic upscale facility - you can easily imagine important meetings, Christmas dinner party's or birthday celebration happening at this location, and considering this restaurant has been around since 1969 they most likely happened here. It's more of a casual ambience - particularly at dinner and NO matter where you sit you get a great view of the beach harbor. Still the various halls, stair case and old framed photos and art that hang give you the feeling that you sit where those who made important business decisions once sat and I find that very interesting. The Crows Nest is well known, I ordered the New York Steak ($57) it's pricey, but I always eat a steak on my birthday so I definitely make it count! I don't have much to say about the bread and butter since I skipped it, but honestly it's relatively standard. They did however give me a free slice of pie with an oreo cookie crust filled with chocolate mousse for my birthday and I only ate half of it, shared the rest with everyone else, it was really good I typically don't eat desserts or cakes unless it's my birthday, other than that I stay away from it. Overall; it's an iconic place that still remains its old stature, and makes some quality food, for the record this was NOT my first time eating here. I really enjoyed my meal, so did everyone else in my party - thank you for the hospitality! read more

This is a delightful, ocean view restaurant at the yacht harbor. Great for out of town visitors. We sat inside at the windows looking out at the beach and ocean. The patio would have been a great spot as well, protected from wind by glass panels. Food was solid but a tad pricey, with it for the view. We had sesame ahi salad and pear/gorgonzola salad with grilled chicken. Both good choices. Service was friendly and not hovering, no crowd for a Monday lunch. Parking lot cost $2. One of us is handicapped so accessibility was of note. We were able to park close to door, but there were 3 stairs to contend with at entrance. Didn't notice a ramp, suggest calling restaurant if this is important for your visit. Note-GPS directions were problematic due to road work that closed the Murray St bridge until 2028. read more

I enjoyed the all you can eat salad bar while the rest of my family ordered entrees. We sat outside and looked out at the ocean and had a wonderful time. Everyone was happy with the meals. We continue to come here for the views and the salad bar. Bread and butter is also served at the table and the staff is friendly and attentive. read more

Santa Cruz has many great places to eat a nice dinner. Consider them all then eat at the Crow's Nest, our harbor goto for over 30 years. My partner, J does something similar with her entree selection. The steaks look good, our waitress suggests the Halibut with the Chardonnay Cream sauce served over polenta but after due consideration she orders the Sand Dabs. Again. As she always does. I enjoyed the Halibut and J the sand dabs but we ended up swapping plates to get both of us a bite of each entree. We brought in a Bargetto 2024 Viognier from an earlier in the day tasting which complemented both dishes and finished with a rich Ollaliebery pie slice ala mode. Pro tip: Get a window seat a couple of hours before dusk on a midsummer night and watch the boats entering the harbor at sunset. Who needs variety when the standards are served so well! read more

5 star service and ambiance. 3-4 star food. They certainly have the location and are an old school marina restaurant. That means heavy woods, typical seafood, steak, crab cakes and salad bar menu. We had their complementary mud pie for a birthday - again good though not great. Ordered the grass fed rib eye burger, medium, but had to send it back for a re-do. Grass fed often comes out dry and this was no exception. But if you're paying $30 for a burger I figured we should be happy with it. Our server Gabriel agreed and the second one was much better. Gabriel was friendly, efficient and we certainly would ask for him in the future. Crab cake was decent, as was the salad bar. My martini was good sized and I made my own bleu cheese olives via the salad bar bleu which was a nice touch. I'd come back again to try out the Happy Hour and upstairs. read more

Have reviewed this before years back and remains a go to. This review is of the front outdoor patio upstairs. Food: 4 Atmosphere: 4.5 Service: 5 Cost to worth it rating: 3 Return worthiness: yes Highlights: - Wes: our server was on top of it, friendly, cheerful and so kind to us on a very emotional day. Very much appreciated and such a genuine young soul. - Atmosphere: right on the beach with upstairs and downstairs dining rooms and patios. - Calamari: not your traditional crispy crunchy version but I loved the seasoning in the breading and the tenderness of the calamari rings. 4.5 stars - Fish sandwich: enjoyed the soft focaccia bread and the tender grilled fish filet. 4 stars - Cocktails: long menu for those who like fruity vacation type drinks or just a beer or wine. Midlights: - Different menu on the patio which is limited and more casual the the restaurant downstairs with a full meal. That's fine but good to know. Lowlights: - Can't make reservations on the patio so it's a bit of a craps shoot whether you can get a seat especially on a weekend. - Cover fee of $5 per person for upstairs early on a Saturday night was unexpected though live musicians were cool. read more

Visited for brunch with a friend around noon on a Sunday and was able to get a table outside on the patio. I want to acknowledge that we showed up during a rush period and it was clear that the servers were being sat multiple tables at the same time, so the service was slow. Typically I would be more critical of that experience because everything was delayed but our server was nice and we weren't in a rush. I love eggs Benedict and order it as much as possible and this one was solid. The eggs were fluffy and the hollandaise was well made. My friend really enjoyed the variety of the salad bar as well. All in all a good experience and I would visit again. I would give the experience a 3.5/5, so I'm rounding up. read more

My boyfriend and I planned a little overnight getaway to Santa Cruz and stumbled upon this cozy hidden gem. The atmosphere was classy, relaxing, and the view was absolutely beautiful. The service was outstanding! I wish I could remember our server's name--she had shoulder-length dark hair and such a bubbly personality. We were there on Thursday evening (7/23/26). I think her name may have been Kaylie. She truly made our experience even better. The food was delicious! We both had the prime rib, and it was cooked perfectly. I'd rate it a 4.8 out 5 (only because a little too much fat)--very flavorful and definitely something I'd order again. Parking was a bit challenging, but that's honestly the only minor downside. If you're planning to visit, I highly recommend requesting a table on the patio. We didn't this time, but after seeing the view, we'll definitely do that on our next visit. Overall, it was a wonderful 5-star experience from start to finish. Thank you for a memorable evening--we'll definitely be back! read more

We visited on Friday, 9/4/26, for a late lunch during our Labor Day weekend vacation. Unfortunately, our first impression wasn't the best. The hostess didn't seem particularly welcoming when we arrived, and after being seated, it took about 10 minutes before someone came over to take our order. Our waitress, Alex, was friendly and attentive once she came to our table, and she apologized for the initial delay. Our appetizer and our daughter's meal came out promptly. However, throughout the rest of our meal, service remained quite slow. We had to ask several times for water refills, and it often felt like other tables were receiving more attention than ours. That said, the food was absolutely delicious! We ordered the calamari appetizer, prime rib sandwich, fish and chips, and the kids' grilled cheese with fries. Everything was tasty, and the entrée portions were much larger than we expected--definitely enough to take leftovers home. Overall, if you're looking for delicious food, generous portions, and a beautiful view, I would recommend giving the Crow's Nest a try. However, based on our experience, the service could use some improvement. Hopefully, our experience was just an off day, especially since the food itself was excellent. read more

It was my wife's birthday and a beautiful day, 9/16. She wanted to go enjoy the view at the beach and get some apps and drinks...Before I dive into the embarrassment of the food, our server was wonderful. But...The Calamari was terrible. Big chunks of tenderized Calamari steak, with a breading that didn't hold to the calamari and was greasy. Tried the crab cakes....Tasted and looked like crab flavored sawdust.....Both of these appetizers are so easy to make well. Why don't they? Got some nachos...So much salsa fresca on top the chips were soggy......They could do all of these so much better, but apparently don't chose to because the sucker us in with the view....So sad for a restaurant that could be so much better....... read more

WOW!! The restaurant downstairs was closed because it was like 3:15 PM and instead of waiting until 4:30 PM when they opened, we came upstairs to the Bar & Grill, checked the menu and decided "OK, well ... let's have a calamari & fries and eat dinner later". We had a window table with a beautiful view of the harbor entrance, and watched all the boats coming and going and took pictures and video as well. Melina our server was incredible. All the other staff are awesome. The food was fantastic, and now we don't even have to eat dinner so five stars thanks to all the Crow's Nest cast and crew and cooks!!! VERY highly recommended!! We will definitely be back and if the restaurant's closed, don't even sweat it. Come upstairs, it was great!!

Expensive and slightly bland, but a beautiful view! I came for a birthday dinner with a group of 7, and thank goodness we had reservations, as the wait would have been two hours. All of the servers were great, but the food itself was lacking. We all ordered a different dish, and no one seemed really wowed (my pasta was definitely lacking seasoning). I really wanted to like this place as I know it's a Santa Cruz institution and many people recommend it for the seafood (which the birthday girl really wanted), but it didn't live up to the hype. read more

We got there Sunday after 7pm for happy hour. I got an aloha palmer and smoked salmon. If you dont get these appetizers during happy hour you are blatantly getting ripped off. The taste of the smoked salmon was pretty good but it came in cubed pieces instead of the typical slices. The aloha palmer was refreshing and nice and the service was good! I just cannot in my good conscience direct people to this establishment because of its blatant price gouging, no matter how beautiful the view is from the deck. read more

27 wedding anniversary dinner....I had sword fish. Was not seasoned. Just some funky looking butter and a few sprigs of Parmesan. Cooked well, but geez. Where is the flavor? The side of vegetables needed a few more minutes. The mashed potatoes were weird, lots of heavy cream, I believe. Wife had the lobster ravioli. She isn't as picky as I am, so she was happy. This place is really pricey and they add some $3 server compensation surcharge. I wasn't impressed and the quality and quantity to price ratio is not good. However, the views and location and staff are very good. I have a feeling this place is a hit or miss situation. Not going to be a place I crave and want to come back to. read more

Came here to check out a well known spot near Santa Cruz. Great views as expected given its location, but it was overall disappointing Salad bar was great!

Pretty expensive too so won't be returning personally read more

Pros: location, views cocktails, French fries. Some of the other basic menu items, salad bar, poke, nachos. Friendly staff. Happy hour, comedy nights. Cons: Price of appetizers, overall food quality is not great based on the price. Burger was over cooked (if the cook can't do it to medium don't offer levels of doneness). Calamari was like a plate of mush. Go back to a classic plate of Golden fried rings and legs. Fish and choice was over fried and honestly battered fried fish is far superior to breaded make the switch. Cup of chowder 12.95?? Come on.. added surcharges etc. No prices listed on drink menu. Good Beer on tap and in bottle was somewhat limited. read more

Went to dinner at crows nest last night. 2 entrées, one salad, one cup of soup and 2 Martinis... 208.00 ...seriously????

We've been to the Crows Nest quite a few times and enjoyed it. Unfortunately this was not one of those times. Service was a -4, food was a 2! So disappointing, from the minute we were seated it all went south. They literally couldn't see us and we were in the middle of the room. We had to ask for everything, water, drinks, bread, and the food twice, the food took over 45 minutes, we lost track. We saw 3 other tables be seated and then get up and leave after 30 minutes of being ignored. That is what we should have done! Extremely disappointing especially when the bill shows up and it's over $150.00 for the level of service received. I honestly felt like we were ripped off considering the whole experience. We won't be returning anytime soon. Disgraceful. read more

Went in on the 9th of May and had a good time , excellent location with great beach view and both inside and out seating. We had a 6:45 reservation and it wasn't until about 7 we got seated but they kept us informed and the place was stacked with customers looked like locals and a lot of tourists Our server Colin , was excellent , super friendly and the reason this is a 5 star rating vs 4. Service really matter and we appreciate how he handled us even with a capacity crowd Salad bar was good , lots of variety and something about the pasta at it I was hooked. Fish and Chips was good portion and as for quality not the best in Santa Cruz but very good and all wrapped up this was a great dinner with perfect service ! Highly recommend Crow's Nest read more

I've been coming here for years and it never disappoints. It's worth the short wait times to sit out on the patio to see the ocean. Even in the winter the patio is nice and warm under the heaters. First up is the ahi poke, originally I thought I was going to ask for a sauce to accompany it but the fish was extremely fresh and the rice to fish ratio was perfect. No more sauce needed! Next up my friend got the fish and chips and noted that the batter was nice and light so that the fish itself was the highlight of the dish. Not pictured but always consistent was the clam chowder bowl which had a generous serving of clams. Finally the chicken azteca which my friend said was perfectly cooked with a good protein to sauce ratio. She raved about the perfectly cooked veggies. To top it off, we had an extremely kind server. Can't wait to go back! read more

Went here on a Saturday night with my boyfriend during a little weekend getaway to Santa Cruz. He made a reservation ahead of time--which I highly recommend because this place gets busy. Our reservation was for 8 PM, but we got hungry early and decided to show up around 7 PM to see if they could take us sooner. With the number of people waiting, we didn't expect much, but the hosts were incredibly friendly and managed to seat us about 35 minutes early! We were seated outside. It was chilly, but there were plenty of heaters, so it was comfortable. Our server was attentive, easy to reach whenever we needed something, and overall provided great service. For starters, we ordered their award-winning calamari. I'd give it a 7/10--the squid was fresh and tender, but I personally prefer a crispier breading. For our entrées, my boyfriend got the Chargrilled Ahi Brochette and I ordered the Hawaiian Mahi Mahi. Both dishes came in generous portions with sides. He liked the flavor of his dish, but the ahi itself was surprisingly tough to chew. The vegetables that came with it, though, were well-seasoned. My Hawaiian Mahi Mahi had a nice flaky texture, and the macadamia crust with mango salsa was a great pairing. Unfortunately, the sides were a disappointment. The vegetables tasted like microwaved, bagged veggies, and the rice was... let's just say it could use some serious improvement--it was way too mushy. The prices are definitely on the higher end: $26 for the calamari and about $38 for each entrée. While nothing was bad, the food didn't quite live up to that price point. Honestly, the best part of the experience was the service. Overall, I'm not sure we'd return on our next trip to the area--there seem to be better options nearby. read more

I'm a local who has frequented the Crow's Nest for decades. Haven't been in awhile and was excited to meet friends for lunch. The server was attentive and sweet, but the food was a huge disappointment. I had the ahi salad....a few thin slices of tuna, a whole lot of wilted lettuce and a heap of broccoli to make it all appear larger. It cost $31 and then I got hit with a $10.50 parking fee on the way out. Nope. Not going back. I gather the rest of the community feels the same way. The parking lot and restaurants (upstairs and downstairs) were empty. What a shame. read more

Upon arrival, the host greets is warmly and takes us to a requested outdoor table. The view was spectacular from where we were seated and good vibes all around. I did enjoy the food. The dishes were very flavorful. I gave it a three star because of our waiter. His attention span for outer table left a "Why are we having a datenight here?" kind of moment. He was super attentive and sparked conversations with the tables around us, but lacked the same attention for us. I've waitress before so i know he did the bare minimum as a waiter for us, which is unfortunate. read more

This time came for happy hour. Great prices on the appetizers and beer, but DON'T order soda...$5.85 and wasn't offered a refill. Service was unfortunately meh, but do like the ambiance.

How bad could it be... right on the water overlooking the marina, not a cloud in the sky and the temperature in the mid-70s. And NO!!! I was not in Palm Beach, FL but in Santa Cruz, CA. There were 6 of us for Saturday Brunch. We were all visiting Santa Cruz to attend my niece Danielle's wedding to Alex. Of the six of us, two were Non-Dairy, Vegan, and Lactose Intolerant. The rest were over 70 and quit caring about Cholesterol, Sugar, Blood Pressure, IBS, etc. Everyone ordered something different. The unanimous consensus was the Crow's Nest Restaurant was a 5-Star Winner. To top it off, the Wait-Staff was superb from Brunch recommendations, to serving our food and keeping the coffee 'topped'! We all agreed it was worth traveling 3000 miles just for the Brunch (but the Wedding was incredible as well)! read more

I love stopping by here because I grew up coming to this restaurant. Now that I no longer live nearby, it's not as convenient for me to visit, but every time I'm in Santa Cruz, I make sure to stop by. One of my absolute favorites is their fried calamari it's a solid 10 out of 10. I could easily eat two plates of it! I also really enjoy their fish and chips, which are made to perfection. They have a great selection of IPAs, a welcoming ambience, friendly staff, and the restaurant (including the bathrooms) is always clean. And of course, the beautiful ocean view just makes the whole experience relaxing and memorable. read more

Crow's Nest Restaurant - New American Near Me - Santa Cruz, California

My friend Denise and I were having a day in Santa Cruz and the first order of task, was to have coffee in a setting with a view. The first place we hit, was by the water, more in a hopeful kind of way. I needed to walk to the corner that was near the restaurant to see the waters of the ocean. I was misguided by Google. I was explaining the story to Denise, while scrambling for another spot that would checkmark by view requirements. Then a woman with purple hair informed us that the the Crow's Nest had ocean front dining and it was not very far. She then instructed us to get the Calamari. She meddled, but it was welcomed, because the Crow Nest was exactly what I needed, what I imagined, it was view and food, and all was of excellent qualities. Over the years, I have seen television shows where folks visit the Hamptons or Martha's Vineyard in the winter. The typical sun drenched beach, with its blue hues all around, becomes a gray slumber. I felt the cold and the yuck factor of walking in the open chills of a Winter beach day. When I was at Crow's Nest, I was a visitor of a beach on a Winter Day. I felt the chill of the breeze, I had to wear a beanie and a jacket to be able to withstand and stay, but the day was not a gray slumber, instead it was lovely in gray patience. The noise and sun light of a Summer beach day became subtle, almost non-existent, and I enjoyed a view that spread with quiet glamour. As i looked out in to the yonder, I saw rippling water that was motion in slow time. And in the distance was a lighthouse amidst a cobblestone path. As I revisit the picture, I felt the peace of noticing a moment where Mother Nature removed color from a scene to remind that sombre climate is pure and still and thus invites undisturbed feelings into the body. I did not have to imagine the lush of a vivid scene, I just had to accept the slow tender drawl of Winter beach day. As I saw around, I took a video of two birds. I want to say that I caught a glitch in the Matrix and just saw these birds flying without moving, but, the moment was the contrary. The birds were a pair of dancing gliders. It was a short video, no longer than 10 seconds, but the birds fluttered in slow circles around each other. It may not be spectacular, it may be common place for those who know beaches in Winter, but for me, it was movement in flight that communicated birds have traditions in movement that are perhaps courtship or play, either ways the birds had fun and feathers. The menu spotlights the fact that the Calamari is World Famous. And after trying it, I will say that the Calamari has a specific quality that makes it memorable, which in itself makes this calamari one that is worthy of note. Most Calamari that I have had, have been a light brown. Here the Calamari was a deep brown. It was not golden brown, it was solidly friend, to a shimmering brown. Moreover, the coating wrapped around the calamari, and held strong. I have had other calamari where the light brown crust cracks and falls, but not here, the fried brown was sturdy. I also got a turkey sandwich. It was a strong and solid showing. It was not grand beyond description, but it does not need a paragraph to justify its solid taste and presence. I do not a quarrel with any aspect of the sandwich, I do want to give it an Oscar. In short, it was a great bite, which suggests that the restaurant in general offers a wonderful view of the beach, solid food, and opportunities to marvel at the natural wonder. I have no complaints to offer, other than the service could have been faster, but, perhaps all movement was impacted by the chill of a Winter Beach Day. read more

Gordon Ramsey would lose his mind if he came here. The only reason I am giving one star, is so I can write this review. I came here last night with my mom and son. We are pretty easy to please when it comes to food, however, this meal was atrocious. My son loves crab cakes so we were so excited to order an appetizer. These would give canned cat food a run for its money. Pate anyone? Definitely not fresh and definitely inedible. For our main course my mom ordered spinach ravioli served with prawns, artichokes, and tomatoes. Maybe the prawns had babies? And that's what was served with this dish. The artichokes were canned, and the tomatoes quartered and placed as an afterthought. This was supposed to be a pasta dish, but it looked like soup. My son ordered noodles with fettuccini sauce. That's it. Simple. In theory. His noodles were doused in a watery sour cream sauce with a splash of butter and cheese. Even a jar of fettuccine sauce would have been better. After sending two of the four dish back and choking through the other two we went across the street to cash in on my sons free ice cream that came with his meal. The topper, the ice cream machine was out of ice cream! He was offered a free cookie which he ate as his appetizer. Never again! read more
