The wharf is open! I went to the sunny, beautifully modern Firefish Grill. The view of the lighthouse and West Cliff Drive is stunning. The food presentation and taste were a whole other enjoyable experience. Evan gave outstanding, attentive service!

Attentive service, fresh seafood and ocean views make this a great choice when you are visiting Santa Cruz. We shared a clam chowder bowl as a starter and then enjoyed a shrimp salad and crab sandwich as our mains. All were tasty! Work off your meal with a walk on the wharf or visit the Boardwalk!
