When I asked about purchasing a local cider they carried I was given directions to the maker, what time they opened, and who I should talk to when I get there. Now that's going above and beyond. There was a nice variety of drinks and they were delicious. I loved the layout of the venue very intimate with the stage but still tons of standing room and if you didn't want to be inside with the crowd there was a tv with the ample outside seating where you could watch the band. The bathrooms were very spacious and super clean. The little taco stand in the back was perfect too. The tacos were delicious. I wish we had a place just like Moe's in Sacramento . I will definitely come to Moe's again next time in town.

I've seen every band in the world, and GBA are the best. Their music is infectious, like a sonic virus that penetrates the auditory cortex and sets up standing waves of bliss and intrigue, and which also penetrates the motor cortex and sets your feet on autopilot. They find the dirtiest nastiest funkiest grooves with just the right amount of dissonance to keep you hooked, like an itch that you can only partially scratch. In addition to their own vulgar grooves, they pay homage to artists ranging from Gary Bartz, Gil Scott-Heron, and Michael Jackson to Burt Bacharach/Hal David and George Harrison. And they've been at this for over 30 years now - yet you look at them playing and they are constantly laughing and joking with each other. Somehow they still seem to love playing with each other, and that energy comes across to the audience at every show. This might be their hidden superpower - the love the 5 of them have somehow held onto for doing this together all this time.

Super friendly, honest, and made sure we were well taken care of. For food, we got the rib eye steak that was cooked to perfection with a side of garlic mashed potatoes that were addicting. We also tried the fish tacos (average) and the chicken wings (a little bit dry and overcooked). Not on the menu but we wanted a side of fries and that ended up being the best part of the meal. The kitchen's only open until 10 but the bar serves until 12 on a Friday so we didn't feel rushed at all. A variety of drinks on the menu and pretty good as well! Lots of dessert options too if you have a sweet tooth.

After dinner, you can take a walk down to the beach, wander around beautiful Capitola Village, and do a little shopping. I'll be honest--I'm not a fancy person, but I absolutely loved The Shadowbrook! It has that special something that makes you feel like you're part of an experience rather than simply going out to dinner. If you're looking for great food, beautiful surroundings, and an evening you'll never forget, The Shadowbrook is definitely worth experiencing!

I decided to order the chicken, my husband ordered the steak, the kiddo ordered a burger and we got some clam chowder and prosecco to celebrate! The steak was delicious. The chicken was just OK.

This bar is a no frills bar that has pool, lots of seating, and just a chill atmosphere where regulars go for a drink... or four. Haha. I don't come here often, but when I do, I usually see familiar faces. The location is sweet too: it's next to the best Mexican restaurant, across from one of the best ice cream stores, and by the beach! What more can you ask for? Oh, and because it's a no frills bar, you don't have to pay for the fancy schmancy extras! Thus, the prices are decent here! The only slightly small downside is you have to have patience because it may take a few minutes to get your drinks because most likely there is only 1 bartender for the entire place.

Parking is kinda limited Would I come back here again......yeah sure why not

An Unforgettable Evening at "Whiskey on the Water"…read more The "Whiskey on the Water" dinner series at Seascape Beach Resort is an absolute masterclass in hospitality. Jesse Scott and his team have created a hosting experience that rivals some of the finest dining events I've ever attended. Perched atop the Seascape bluff overlooking Monterey Bay, the setting is simply breathtaking. Watching the sunset over the Pacific creates the perfect backdrop for an elegant evening. What truly sets this event apart, however, is the exceptional service. Every member of the staff was attentive, polished, and genuinely invested in making the experience memorable. Their attention to detail rivaled--and in many cases exceeded--that of many five-star establishments. The food and whiskey pairings were outstanding. Chef Jae Moon delivered an exceptional menu that paired beautifully with an incredible selection of bourbons, including several rare expressions that even seasoned collectors don't often have the opportunity to enjoy. The educational component elevated the evening even further. The Suntory representative shared fascinating history and insights with the perfect balance of expertise, personality, and humor, making each tasting both informative and entertaining. From the spectacular setting and world-class hospitality to the remarkable food and exceptional spirits, every detail was thoughtfully executed. If you have the opportunity, I highly recommend attending one--or several--of these upcoming dinners. It was an unforgettable experience from start to finish, and I can't wait for the next one. Highly recommended!

From the moment we arrive, the staff is always warm, welcoming, and accommodating.

We love all of the nearby restaurants, and this time we finally had the chance to try Sanderlings. The food was delicious!! The resort itself is absolutely beautiful, but our favorite part is the direct beach access. The beach is always clean, peaceful, and the perfect place to relax and unwind. Seascape has become a special place for us, and we can't wait to continue making memories here. We'll definitely be back!

We sat outside and had an incredible view of Capitola Beach. The service was slow throughout the meal, and one thing that stood out was that I never received a water refill the entire time we were there. It wasn't terrible service, but it definitely felt inattentive. I ordered the Seafood Fettuccine because I wanted something a little more filling. In hindsight, that's partly on me since seafood fettuccine isn't exactly a dish I usually expect to be exceptional anywhere. The Alfredo sauce was bland and needed a lot of pepper to bring some life to it. Most of the seafood was overcooked and chewy, particularly the fish. The clams were probably the best part of the dish and were cooked reasonably well. Overall, the view was fantastic, but beyond that, the meal didn't do much for me. Between the slow service and underwhelming food, this ended up being one of the worst meals I had on my trip.

The clam chowder was rich and flavorful, the poke was fresh and really hit the spot, and the Chipotle Chicken Sandwich was packed with flavor.
