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

Probably the best view from the deck! It has two floors and each floor has a different menu…. The Calamari was so fresh and clam chowder was super delicious! They host live shows too. Definitely a good place to eat and spend time.

First time here... Came around time of opening and was seated regardless not having reservations. Environment seems clean and well kept indoors. Nice view of the harbor and Walton Lighthouse. Had a short stack of buttermilk pancakes with side of sausage. Very tasty... not overcooked. Definitely will come back again when in the area.

They didn't a few weeks back, but that might have been due to covid. Lots of the locals deals seem to be unfortunately disappearing.

Is your restaurant dog friendly

Ruth Enbysk | Aug 30, 2020
Sarah K | Aug 30, 2020

No it's not. I've read that info before too, but there's no way to get to the patio without walking through the restaurant, which isn't allowed unless it's a service dog. The adjacent beach cafe that is owned by crow's nest is dog friendly since all the seating is outside. I brought my parents dog there and was told this as well.
