    French Onion soup in a bread bowl.
    Mark K.

    I always wonder about the food at places with such a great location. This place is right on Soquel Creek with views of the creek and ocean from the deck. We had dinner here. We sat outside since it was a perfect day to sit in the sun. They have umbrellas. (I think they have heaters for cooler evenings.) I ordered the Chicken Marsala which I really enjoyed. The sauce was a bit different from what I'm used to but I liked the variation. My daughter ordered the French Onion soup which she also enjoyed. The food is 4 stars. The location is 5 stars. I rounded up. There is both inside and outside seating. I liked this place. I will return.

    Stopped in for a house rose. Can't beat the location or the views. House Rose $10. Can't beat that price at the location. Great service. Great views. Free wifi. Will definitely return!

    The patio dining is gorgeous. Had an ocean view without a lot of noise. Service was friendly and our server gave good recommendations. We had the calamari appetizer. Perfectly light, the fry wasn't heavy. Both tartar and cocktail sauces were tasty. Had burgers which were awesome. Cooked perfectly, juicy with solid condiments. I had the crab cakes. Would pass on these. Heavily breaded with little seasoning. The battered fries were really good. Also has both a regular and mezcal margarita. Highly recommend the cocktails! Also shared the French onion soup! That was some of the best ever! Definitely get it when there! Can't wait to go back!

    Chowder and view!

    The view is amazing, service was great! Chowder was good! But the seafood pasta did not taste right... and now here I am with food poisoning . Good place tho, I would recommend but trust your gut.

    Great atmosphere with friendly patrons and bartender. Came here after a SJ Sharks game, my boyfriends birthday celebration. I was crazy and went in the ocean. Great beer

    Best Clam Chowder I've had in awhile. 3

    It was my first time actually dining with a group of folks for a friend's birthday. We had a great time eating outside on the patio overlooking the evening sky and beach front view. The Clam Chowder was AMAZING! Most of us ordered a bowl instead of a cup size. It was creamy, chunky, warm, and perfect to have on a crisp fall evening. I also ordered their "Sugar & Spice Salmon" which was also not bad as it came with chunky & creamy garlic mashed potatoes and steamed veggies! The food was a bit on the pricier side, which is expected in such a touristy driven area. Would I go back? Sure! Our waitress was lovely and the atmosphere in the evening was overall chill vibes. :-)

    Paradise Beach is always a must when in town. Hyped it up to my girls from Texas and of course they delivered! Food is always delicious

    We shared the crab cakes, and potato crusted Halibut. Both were delicious! We tried the Jalapeño Margarita which hosts a whole jalapeño in the glass, and a salted rim. Also tried the Monterey Mule and the Citrus Ace, each offered a unique flavor and liquor. The service was excellent. Our waitress checked in frequently despite being busy. The ambiance was beautiful:- evening dining on the patio with heaters and the bay view. We will visit again.

    We came here for a late lunch and sat outside, enjoying the beautiful and relaxing view--especially the colorful buildings of the Venice hotel in the background. The food was decent, but quite overpriced. I ordered a salad with medium-rare grilled beef; the greens were very fresh amd delicious , even if the beef was still tender,it's a bit more cooked than I would've liked. One of my friends had the salmon, which was very good, best of all dishes. Another friend had the steak - medium, but it was more done than expected, so it turned out a bit dry in my opinion. But... the fresh green peppercorn sauce accompanying the steak was awesome (I can still taste it :) ) The service was excellent. If I were to come back, it would be for the atmosphere and the service--not really for the food or the price.

    Clearly PLENTY of open tables visible online and when we arrived in-person

    I really hate it when a nice day out at the coast is ruined by dismissive and absent minded people; perhaps racism, I am not entirely sure. I love to photograph food and I was so upset throughout the dining experience that I just wanted to eat and leave in peace. We came in at 2:45pm without a reservation but thought we were safe enough since their reservations were all the way open. Imagine my surprise when we request seats outside (we had a pup with us) and when offered a bar table seating I asked for something lower due to a back injury that requires more back support. As I am making said request, I am not even done explaining my request when I am abruptly interrupted by the hostess who claims that the only TWO tables available are reserved! I then am scurrying through my phone to make the reservation I'd seen earlier (Mind you their indoor tables were almost all available with exception of one or two tables occupied) WHEN thankfully our lovely soon to be waiter, Josh (name on receipt) said he would be happy to serve us on one of the tables available. Josh and the rest of the wait staff were amazing and we greatly appreciated them and the food. We ordered oysters (my party enjoyed them) We also had two orders of the clam chowder and that delicious as well. Four our main entrees, my parents split the steak available at lunch, I ordered the Chipotle salmon burger and my husband had the fish and chips. And our pup enjoyed a piece of their hamburger patty and Josh was just as attentive with her and provided her with water. For drinks, I had their sauvignon blanc and it liked it enough to have two glasses. My party had the margaritas and their mango margaritas and thoroughly enjoyed them as well. The table next to us were a riot, in a good way and were jovial; they almost made me forget that not all palm-color folks look at us with disdain. I've provided a screenshot of all the available tables! The 4 stars because the food was good, the view of the colorful house was a great photo op, parking was easy, though we may never come back due to the poor treatment provided by their hostess on Sunday, May 18th at approx 2:45pm. BTW- about 10mins after we were seated, a group of four were seated in the other "reserved" available table, and when we asked them if they had made a reservation, they said no. So... if it quacks like a duck, walks like a duck...

    Pete's is in Capitola Village and can be easy to miss because it's right at the curve of Esplanade,…read moreand you need to look up and step up into the entrance. (I have, no joke, walked by it dozens of times without realizing it!) I found it from seeing it on a list of restaurant participants for Burger Week. Overall, I give Pete's 3.5 stars, and here's why... **Ambiance: 5 stars** With the bright and tastefully-decorated dining room along with the multiple windows overlooking the spectacular beach, you really can't beat this ambiance! Pete's has the fine-dining vibe that's perfect for that first date, anniversary or other special dining occasion when you want some quiet and mood lighting. **Service: 4 stars** We were seated right away, even without reservations. It was a Sunday, and there was no wait or crowd. Service was quick and friendly. Mid-dinner, a server broke some glassware right behind my seat and needed us to move so they could sweep under our table and feet. They ended up moving us to a better table (next to the window) instead of having us stand there to watch them sweep. Accidents happen, and I felt they handled that well. **Food: 3 stars** Every item we ordered was delicious and fresh, and all arrived quickly. However, the menu was fairly compact, and the amount of food is even more compact. I was excited Pete's had lobster rolls (one of my all-time favorite food items EVER; $28) on their menu, so I didn't hesitate to order that along with a lychee martini. My partner ordered the bolognese ($30) and an old fashioned. We ordered the polenta as an appetizer. All of it was tasty, but oh-so-small. The cheddar polenta was like a taste test size (maybe 4 TBs), and the lobster roll was the smallest I had ever seen in my life. I didn't want to be rude, but I wanted to laugh when it arrived at our table! The lobster roll was smaller than my hand. It looked like circus food with all super tiny sizes. **Price/Value: 2 stars** You don't come to Pete's for the value because the portions are.... micro. TIP: If you have a big appetite or skipped a meal that day, I suggest going elsewhere or be ready to turn over a paycheck because you'll need to order a lot to fill up. It is worth it, however, if you fancy a light-filled room with views of the sparkling ocean and sounds of the waves crashing on the golden sands of Capitola!

I had the spicy Devil's Ginger vodka martini with the calamari appetizer and with dinner, the Lava Top Sauvignon Blanc ($13), a perfect complement to the swordfish. My swordfish was perfectly sautéed in a tapenade beurre blanc sauce ($40) with deliciously creamy and decadent polenta and buttery chopped bok choy. The way they served the bok choy was perfect- never change it. It was artsy, buttery and didn't look wilted. My son had the grilled boneless pork chops (two boneless chops) with fries and smoky beans ($28), loved. He devoured the berry fruit crisp à la mode for dessert ($12) and I had two small bites: It was like granola over compote with ice cream. I didn't complain.
