Introduced by family I was visiting, I was not expecting much from this restaurant given the fact that it is located on the Wharf in Santa Cruz that is laden with tourist trap junk laden souvenir and destination retail clothing stores.The restaurant itself does not give any clues to the excellent food it produces in its kitchens. Very good service from the waiter and the food was first rate excellent that one would find in or expect in any elegant upscale fine dining 5 star restaurant.Wine and beers as well as large portions of food make this a "To Go Back To" place.

If you love seafood this is the place for you. Situated on the ocean with of course great clam chowder, calamari, Cioppino!!! excellente etc etc Salmon is fabulous and I can't think of anything I don't like there even Pizza. Very affordable in my opinion, good beer and wine selection. The view is what makes it for me though as I enjoy the ocean every chance I can.

We were there during the week early in November. We were the only people there for dinner and were told this is normal for the time of the year. Our seafood meals were fresh and delicious. Good size and reasonably priced glasses of wine. Definitely worth the walk to the end of the pier.

This might sound nit-picky, but the fish tacos that I ordered came with salsa and chips, and I only received 5 chips (as did my Mother) and had to ask for more. Other than that, amazing food! The salsa was delicious. There are three dollar mini desserts!! That's right, three dollars!

Wonderful table overlooking the beach, with fast and no-nonsense service. Chowder was plentiful and flavorful with a little bit of its own spice; and fish and chips were hot, generous, and coupled with great fries. Salad was ok. Its the location as much as anything, and the hum of voices doesn't crowd out conversation, as at so many other places.

The quality of fish is outstanding. My only caution is that the cost/pound is so much higher than on the Santa Cruz Wharf or in the supermarket.

I stopped in here today because the locals told me to experience this place. Tremendous food and drinks and service. My server, Lauren 622, was PERFECT!!!! She was super attentive, very quick at delivering either food or drinks, helped me make some culinary and alcohol decisions and had a super personality!!!! Lauren made my experience the best!!!! Thanks Lauren!!!!!!!!!! I had some guacamole and calamari to start my evening...both super choices...look at my pictures!!!! I then had the crab cocktail and it was super-superb!!!!!! I ended up with a house salad and it was great too. My wines were all endemic in the Santa Cruz area and were great and the two margaritas I had were so cool and easy to drink.... this place has plenty of ambiance and a great view of the water and birds. The manager, Alexid, stopped by to make sure my experience was great!!! That was very cool!!!! I love it when a manager sticks her head into the inner workings of her restaurant instead of just standing by passively!!!! Alexid was super too!!!.....everyone was just great to me!!!!......and I appreciate that!!! I would highly recommend this place to anyone traveling in the area!!!!! Thanks to all for a great time!!!!!!!

Capitola by the Sea is beautiful but the restraurants tend to be touristy, especially on the Esplanade. Paradise is our go to place. Sit on the patio which over looks Soquel Creek and enjoy the view. The food is very good and the staff and manager are excellent. A glass of Proseco and the cheese plate is my favorite. Other favorites are the BLT and the French Onion Soup. If it is coolish they have nice patio heaters or there is a room with a fireplace in the back.
