Wharf House - Santa Cruz

We live above Capitola Village and chose this restaurant for our rehearsal dinner, and it was an incredible experience. We’ve enjoyed coming here for years to relax and listen to live bands upstairs. They graciously closed the entire restaurant for us, giving us exclusive use of the inside space—what a treat! The manager is delightful and incredibly kind, providing us with excellent service, along with the bartender and the chef. I’ve always loved this place, and if you're planning an event, it's the perfect venue. We even had the bar to ourselves! Thank you for making our night so special.

Hello! Overall, it's a good place, but quite expensive. I really love the view.

My husband and I celebrated our 21st. Wedding anniversary with a wonderful night of data at Wharf House. We had an incredible time. The picturesque nautical facility as well as indoor and outdoor seats overlooking the sea. The house special cocktail Capitola Breeze was very delicious. Our server Oscar was very polite, helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. The food was absolutely excellent!!!! I had the fresh sea red tuna, and my husband had the prawn scampi pasta. We also had the hearty and warm Clam knower in the bread bowl. Yummy. Do not forget to try the roasted appetizers. We definitely add this place to our top 5 restaurants in Santa Cruz!!!!

Food is excellent with magnificent sea views definitely a must try

Excellent place to eat. The waitress/Koch went over the top with her service. My bf asked for a stick when butter n she actually melted a stick of butter for us... and the view is excellent... Imagine it's at the end of the Wharf in Capitola. How good is it?. Love my Clam Chowder on a bread bowl.
