Best Brunch Restaurants in Capitola

The burger I had was delicious. My husband had the braised short rib ragu. He loved it and I did too when I tasted it. The preparations were thoughtful and full of layers of flavor. I had a mocktail (ginger cardamom cooler) - spicy in a good way and fresh. We will return.

This dining experience was wonderful.Our servers were knowledgeable and helpful. My husband was able to taste a couple of different wines before making his choice. We shared an excellent, if not traditional, Caesar salad. The addition of roasted garlic and whole anchovy was very delicious. We each had a special fish entree. Halibut for my husband and trout for me. The sides that came with the entrees included Kale, lentils, with the trout and fennel, kale and some type of heirloom beans with the halibut. Everything was unique and very flavorful. The portions were large. we could have easily shared the trout and we did bring some of that home. The ambiance and the view of the wharf is lovely and we enjoyed the live music in the background. We had a truly memorable meal.

We made a reservation for 530pm. Out day wine tasting got done early so we made our way back to the resort. Had a dip in the hot tub before heading over to catch the tail end of sunset with the most spectacular view of the bay. The day, so we thought, couldn’t get any better. The bartender was fairly nice but the vibe was really good. Didn’t feel rushed and even took our drinks over to a fire pit on another patio. Really just a great spot especially for being at a hotel. Usually they are stale and boring. Not here, there was even live music.

Great and committed staff who care about guests and provide a lovely experience

Amazing food, view, and portions. Highlights. Fried artichokes. Ahi tuna salad.
