Reviews for Crow's Nest Restaurant in Santa Cruz, CA
Came in around 2:30pm on a Friday and were sat immediately. The outdoor patio is super cute with ocean/ pier view. We... ordered: * fried calamari appetizer -- crunchy lightly battered, tender calamari, fried to perfection. Best calamari I've everhad.. thanks Crow's Nest!! * bowl of clam chowder * grilled Angus steak * grilled yellowtail All that and our bill was under$130 (tips and 1 glass of wine included!) Will definitely visit again when we're in Santa Cruz, just because of the calamari???? Read more
My former boss sold her real estate company in 2016 and retired to Dallas, Texas with her new husband. She periodically does... reunion breakfasts with her former staff and local friends in the Santa Cruz she loves so much. It was a group of about 20people that the restaurant staff managed with exemplary service and speed. The Crow's Nest is ideal for this with its beautifulYacht Harbor location, easy parking, and long time fine reputation as an iconic beach front restaurant. We all had a wonderfulvisit together and love the food and service. Read more

Probably the best view from the deck! It has two floors and each floor has a different menu?. The Calamari was so fresh and clam... chowder was super delicious! They host live shows too. Definitely a good place to eat and spend time. Read more
First time here... Came around time of opening and was seated regardless not having reservations. Environment seems clean and... well kept indoors. Nice view of the harbor and Walton Lighthouse. Had a short stack of buttermilk pancakes with side of sausage.Very tasty... not overcooked. Definitely will come back again when in the area. Read more
Food is decent. Upstairs and downstairs have slightly different menus. I like the updates that have better view and have more... freedom. Service is good. Calamari tastes great but very small portion and expensive . Be aware. Read more
