Crow's Nest Restaurant

Santa Cruz, California · $$

Located right on the beach where the Harbor meets the sea, The Crow's Nest is one of Santa Cruz' most beloved restaurants. For over 55 years, guests have returned again and again for breathtaking panoramic views of Santa Cruz Harbor, lighthouse, and wharf, and to enjoy award-winning cuisine, spirits, and live entertainment. Daily breakfast, lunch, and dinner in our downstairs dining room offer fresh seafood, pasta creations, Midwestern aged beef, and daily chef's specials. Upstairs, the Breakwater Bar & Grill features a variety of appetizers and casual meals throughout the day, and dancing to live entertainment by night. On both levels, expansive shoreline decks offer a friendly, casual atmosphere, where rich woods, luminous works of glass art, and a unique collection of vintage surfboards and surfing photographs complete the unforgettable ambiance. The Crow's Nest is truly the flagship restaurant on the California coast.
