The View Restaurant & Bar (at Chaminade Resort & Spa) -Food CA (Near Santa Cruz)

5 /5 Zinzu Bobby: A Wonderful Hideaway Spot for a perfect Chill Romantic Rendezvous especially after a fun filled challenging Stick Shift convertible sports Car zip zap curvy drive on Highway 17S. Many Thanks to Jaxson for being so Attentive during our visit there. The Lush Green valley Tree Top View with the Ocean Sunset in the background was just perfect. Cocktails, Cabernet Sauvignon and Fish Tacos while whispering sweet nothings to her shall be a memory to cherish. We truly appreciated the outdoor heaters and blankets to make the atmosphere really cozy. Chaminade is always great visit to enjoy their outdoor grounds and nearby fun filled Santa Cruz & Capitola.

3 /5 Romando Dr: We ordered the ribeye, fettuccine alfredo and a wedge salad. The steak was supposed to come with horseradish and by the time the server came back to check on us so we could ask for it, the steak was cold. She brought the horseradish but it was too late to enjoy it. I have had ribeye that was much, much better for half the price. The wedge salad was fine. The Alfredo was over salted. The server took so long to take our initial drink order so we walked to the bar to order directly and the bartender made two Old Fashion that were good. The second ones ordered thru the server were not good and I sent mine back.

Are waitress maddy was profesional and had great knowledge about all the cocktails , dishes being served as well a great attitude and understanding of fine dining. We started off with cocktails, Smokey bourbon for myself and my wife the Mexican Ponchethe definitely high caliber supper fancy. For are entrees we decided we had to do the ahi tuna poke and the local fresh crab cakes both extremely delicious and the crab cake had the perfect crunch soft fluffy crab center ,the freshness of the ahi tuna unforgettable. Maddy cleared are plates and brought us fresh silverware and napkins staying attentive pouring are champagne and catering to are every need. For are main dishes we decided to go for the short rib talk about fall off the bone. The Marcona almond crusted sole was out of this world in a creamy coconut lemon grass Thai curry sauce with a pureed mashed potato left us shocked to say the least. We couldnt make up are minds on two mains so we ended up getting the chefs Mushroom Pithivies it had melty fetta local chantrels the puff pastry was fluffy and perfectly flaky outside the presentation of all 3 dishes really had me feeling 5 star after eating it was obvious 5 stars all around.

5 /5 Kevin: First visit here and it was great. The staff was extremely nice and helpful. Sitting Outdoor with the view and plenty of heaters was awesome. Food was really good. Make sure you check out the special menu! The only downside is parking, as there arent many close spots. Not a huge deal. They do have valet if needed. Bathrooms were clean as well.
