Jack O'Neill

“Best breakfast near the boardwalk. See ended up going 2x in one week. Will definitely return, Lyla was fabulous!”

“Food was great but Lyla was even better! I got huevos and thought they were delicious but Lyla was an incredible and kind waitress! Great recommendations and just great vibe!”

“Food and service is great; everything tasted amazing especially the crème brûlée. Decor and atmosphere was fancy and inviting. The view from our window table was also very enjoyable. Definitely recommend this restaurant for any occasions.”

“Perfection! Food, service, atmosphere were all easily 5 stars. Amazing coffee (roast of the year winner). We savored every bite of our food and talked about it afterward. There was even something special about the pancakes and I'm a breakfast connoisseur. Price was very fair, too, especially considering the quality. Will be back!”

“Surprisingly good food! I assumed it would be average hotel food but no! The restaurant sources from all local farms so everything is super fresh. The views are way better than the wharf restaurants and the food is some of the best in Santa Cruz!”

“Delicious food, reasonably priced, great views, stellar service<br><br>I left my waffle. 🧇 😭<br><br>Perfect fruits 🥺😢”

“The main pleasure point here was the service. My family has allergy concerns (soy) and also has vegetarians. The combo of those two restrictions can be hard to meet, especially when you avoid soybean oil even though it isn't technically included in the allergen definition because it still gives you stomach cramps for days. The hostess and head waitress (I think) were happy, pleasant, and helpful no matter how many times I came back with more questions, and seemed to put in the real effort to make sure everyone's needs would be met without gastrointestinal distress. I'd give 6 Stars for the level of help if I could.<br>The food was good. Nothing exceptional or truly special, but good. We ordered a vegetarian pasta, wings, and a kid's grilled cheese with fries. I also got a Manhattan at the bar that was good but was twice what I expected to pay.”

“As a local, I am very disappointed in myself at the fact that this was my first time visiting since the restaurant changed names. We went for my step mother’s birthday and I forgot how great the ambiance was here. We ordered for three and I only ordered a clam chowder and the bill was over $300. I was blown away by the view, but would never go here on my own if I was paying for sure. Their service was top-notch since my one year-old daughter spilled a soda and they quickly cleaned it up and didn’t make me feel bad. I hope I get to visit this restaurant again but not on my dime. There’s plenty of expensive restaurants that I would frequent and wouldn’t mind paying for, but unfortunately, this isn’t one of them. Nothing horrible just not worth what we paid for. Decor was on point and love the Jack O’Neill name and face associated with here.”

“Started bad by waiting 20 minutes for the table we reserve. The vegtebale bisk was not less then amazing. But then comes the shock. I ordered the special which was Ahi tuna on risotto. You cannot serve non cooked Risotto!! When I told them they took it to the kitchen warmed it and served again. This is not Al dente! It was not cooked. 55$ for non cooked dish with grains of Risotto.<br>The short rib had alot if flavor with a good potato puree.<br>Remove the whip cream. Also from the Brulee cream. Its a classic. Doesnt need the fancy cream.<br><br>The place is amazing and everyone super nice.”

“The menu is very limited on options other than seafood so, if you don't love seafood this may not be the right place. I ate vegetarian pasta which was very good though.”
