    Corned Beef Hash

    A cute brunch/diner spot in Santa Cruz! The interior is very rustic but kept super clean. All of the staff were so nice. They were able to accommodate for our big group and bring out our orders fast. The prices are similar to many other diners but if you pay with cash, you don't have to pay a surcharge. The portions are huge as well.

    My grandparents have been coming here since the 1970s, bringing me since I was a little kid. I don't think I've had a meal that's disappointed once. The Watsonville location is great, but the charm of the original can't be beat. From the pancakes to the omelets to the sandwiches and Mexican food-- it's fantastic. Some of my favorites: the chorizo scramble, their biscuits with extra butter and jam, and their burger. All of the waitresses and bussers are so kind and happy to please as well. I can't wait to go back!

    Theme is off, I like the old vibe but the paintings doesn't belong on the walls. Service was good, food was good.

    Friendly & inviting staff. It's a small restaurant, but still cozy. All the food was really good, especially the Crab Benedict (daily special). Not pictured: English Muffin (large and dense) Chicken Tortilla soup (chicken chunks and fresh veggies) Sunday around 10:30 am. The place was full, with a 15-20 minute wait...well worth it.

    A hidden gem in Capitola. Great service, fast and friendly people. My family and I love to visit when we are in town to visit our slug. The pancakes and Paul's potatoes are our favorite. Definitely recommend. Come early, always packed. Thank you! UCSC family

    Excellent service! Ridiculously good chicken friend steak with some of the best sausage gravy I've ever had. Delicious Huevos Rancheros. Silver Spur is great and highly recommend it. I look forward to another visit and trying other menu options.

    Omelette

    Expect to leave stuffed. I came here with 3 friends after running the Monterey Half Marathon. We shared an order of 4 pancakes (one per person) and each got our own dish. Pancake- large and fluffy. We got the special orange poppyseed pancakes and they were excellent. These are a must get. Western Omelette- I swapped the ham for sausage and to be honest the sausage was just okay. Maybe I should've switched to bacon? While the omelette was stuffed with onions, peppers, and sausage, the egg could've been seasoned more and the ingredients could've been incorporated better. Felt more like the omelette was created separately and the filling was sautéed and added afterwards. Hasbrowns- I got this as my side for my omelette. Was nice and crunchy, just wish they added more seasoning- adding some salt and peppers while cooking would go a long way. But I was able to season at the table and enjoyed Overall, a decent and filling breakfast. One friend got the country fried steak and another got the breakfast burrito. Both were incredibly full and very happy with their decisions. Ambiance was cute- had a rustic vibe that I liked. Service was a little slow (I had to ask a few times to get more water) but the waiters/waitresses were friendly. Note there is a ~4% fee if you use credit card so bring cash.

    Solid spot for a good breakfast with friendly service. The portions are large, the food is tasty and the prices will not break the bank. I'm a healthy eater and typically have leftovers. Place has been around for a while so the decor is typical old school diner.

I got the chipotle chicken salad as my main dish, which was bursting with flavor, with very fresh and crisp Romaine. My wife got the fish tacos, which she enjoyed. We finished with one of the best tiramisu I've ever had! Overall, a very enjoyable meal -- highly recommended!

Overall, the ambiance and service were great, the food not so much. Here you go: Food - 3/5: We started with 2 apps - the special 'wings and beer' and margherita flatbread. The wings came out almost instantaneously which was the first sign - they had been sitting and were just reheated. The flatbread was loaded with cheese, not a lot of flavor. Our mains consisted of Caesar salad, chicken picatta, braised short ribs, and burger. The Caesar salad had a hair, the braised short ribs were fatty and no sauce over a hardened lump of dry polenta that appeared to be reheated, and the chicken picatta was just ok. Service - 4/5: We were the first seated so service was very attentive and the manager was very friendly. The issue with salad was handled professionally and taken off the bill. Vibe - 4/5: Nice, clean aesthetic. We sat inside but there is a small patio with umbrellas and flowers/shrubs for street privacy. There were only about 15-20 tables inside and a small bar area. Recommend: great local beer list and try the burger

It was just perfect for our small staff gathering, with their Cove Meeting Room right off their on-site restaurant, Jack O'Neill, and the package with breakfast, lunch, beverages and snacks along with the meeting room all included. The rooms are comfortable and every one of them has a wonderful view of the beach and Santa Cruz Wharf (and the Boardwalk a bit farther away down the beach). Love that they offer a complimentary selection of e-books, audio books, meditations and podcasts (QR code to scan right on the bedside table) and that they've eliminated all single-use plastic water bottles on their property. The weather was perfect during our visit in early February. Staff were all friendly and helpful ~ special shout outs to Elaine and Shannon for all of their help leading up to our stay.

Walking distance to the boardwalk and who doesn't love valet! They had fun activities for the kids at the pool and the poolside service was great. The drinks were good and nachos while tanning and the kids swimming is kinda perfect!
