Being a regular customer of Ambrosia I have come to realize it is in the top 5% of good restaurants.

It never, ever disappoints!

The place was not very busy when we reached at 6. I personally loved the huge Ganesha idol at the entrance. We will definitely recommend the butter chicken and tandoori roti. Our kid loved the lassi.

It feels like you're at a golf course resort restaurant without the golf. You are a windy path away from one of the prettiest beaches too. Wait, did I mention the view has a gorgeous treeline? It reminds me of Half Moon Bay. The food and cocktails are 7.5 out of 10 here, and they pay attention to aesthetics, which I appreciate. The prices are a little high, and the service can be a little slow, but that can be expected with hotel restaurants and patio service.

From the moment we arrive, the staff is always warm, welcoming, and accommodating. We'd also like to give a special shoutout to the golf cart drivers--every single one we've had has been incredibly friendly, polite, and made getting around the resort such a pleasant experience. We love all of the nearby restaurants, and this time we finally had the chance to try Sanderlings. The food was delicious!! The resort itself is absolutely beautiful, but our favorite part is the direct beach access. The beach is always clean, peaceful, and the perfect place to relax and unwind. Seascape has become a special place for us, and we can't wait to continue making memories here. We'll definitely be back!

A very disappointing return to a resort that once meant so much to our family…read more We've been coming to Seascape for more than 10 years, and I have so many childhood memories here. I returned hoping my kids would experience the same feeling, but unfortunately, our recent one-night stay was a major disappointment. We paid approximately $600 for Room #614. We specifically requested the 600s but were initially assigned a room in the 400s before eventually being moved. The room had far too many issues for the price: filthy floors that turned our bare feet black, a filthy master bedroom deck, a broken front-door lock, no AC, TVs that didn't work, a strange smell upstairs, uncomfortable furniture, a loose shelf, dusty fan, poor-quality utensils, and no basic items like potholders or sharp knives. The food pricing was also difficult to justify: a kids' chicken nugget and fries meal was around $45, while my burger was $38 without fries. The beach access and ocean views are still beautiful, but those positives don't make up for the overall decline in cleanliness, maintenance, and service. It genuinely makes me sad to see a place that meant so much to our family change this much. We were local and only stayed one night, but I would be hesitant to recommend an extended stay under the current conditions.

I thought the food could have been warmer in general. The cheese and fruit platters were really good and some of the dessert items, specially the caramel almond cake, was really delicious. The view was also beautiful throughout the day. We witness a wedding event here with live music. I thought the servers were a little aggressive in taking the plates right when we finished. Prob won't be back unless I stay at the hotel but really convenient if you are looking for some quick bites with a nice view!

That would be Pino Alto in the Sesnon House at Cabrillo College. The Spanish tapas were spot on. We ate with another couple so there was a big choice to try. The menu changes regularly. EDIT: But why is it so exclusive you ask? The restaurant is only open 2 days a week, and only when school is in session. However, the service was a bit spotty but not bad enough to substract any stars. They are students after all and one must learn. I know i couldn't do a better job.

We were both looking forward to a special dinner. A week later we hadn't heard back so left a second voicemail requesting a call back please letting us know either way. They were still open. Still no call back ever. Somehow we later learned maybe seeing the campus billboard on Soquel they'd be closing for the season just two days before the date we'd requested. We'd called at least two weeks ahead yet they couldn't be bothered to let us know so we could adjust our date. We're only here for a short time so won't be back for another year. The previous visit we had to sit for about a half hour while they tried to figure out how to enter the charges correctly onto our Visa card. Food was fine. However the students need to be taught basic phone, customer service & business skills for success. We were pretty annoyed and disappointed they couldn't bother to call us at all even though they were open.

He's usually more on the grumpy/serious side and wanted absolutely no birthday fuss, so we kept the celebration to ourselves. The food though was amazing and the views were absolutely beautiful, but the younger manager really made our night. He stopped by often to check on us, answered any and all our questions, and made us feel welcome and cared for. My dad isn't one to crack a smile easily, so seeing him smile and even chuckle while talking with the manager made the whole experience a 10/10 for me. We're already planning to come back for his birthday next year. Thank you, Margaritaville, for a memorable night!
