Crow's Nest - Santa Cruz

8.27.22 My husband and I enjoyed our experience at the Crow's Nest Restaurant. We were in Santa Cruz and celebrated our anniversary. The restaurant was full, so we sat upstairs. Our waitress, Olivia was great! There was a super funny band! The food was delicious and cheap. Next time we're back in Santa Cruz.

Came at 2:30 on a Friday and sat right away. The outdoor terrace is super cute with sea view/ pier view. We ordered: roasted Calamari Appetizer crisp slightly broken, delicate Calamari, roasted to perfection. Best Calamari I've ever had. Thanks Crow's Nest!! Shell of shells grilled Angus Steak grilled yellow tail All this and our bill was included under $130 (Tips and 1 glass of wine! Will definitely be back when we're in Santa Cruz, just because of the Calamari?

My former boss sold her real estate company in 2016 and moved to Dallas, Texas with her new husband. She regularly meets breakfast with her former staff and local friends in Santa Cruz she loves so much. It was a group of about 20 people who managed the restaurant staff with exemplary service and speed. The Crow's Nest is ideal for this with its beautiful Yacht Harbor location, simple parking and long time fine reputation as an iconic beach restaurant. We all had a wonderful visit together and love the food and service.

Great food and service! I had the lake bass and it was well presented and super delicious. The waiter we had was really friendly and attentive. The views of the port were great where we sat and of what I saw the other customers were all enjoying.m itself. Definitely a place to check if you like seafood and good atmosphere.

Great server Logan! Made sure everything was timely, had wonderful recommendations, joked with us a little, really nice views of the beach!! Food was fresh and tasty! Great busser also had plenty of bread and checked our drinks and water glasses just enough. Always a local favorite
