Jack O'neill Lounge - Santa Cruz

The best breakfast I ever had. A very close second from my mother's quiche. It was so delicious and decadent. One of the best cookies and Gravy I've ever had. I can't expect to go back and order the same breakfast again. The view of the bay was also incredible.

I was pulled to this place because I'm a big fan of O? Neill and as always it was not disappointed. The food is exceptional! You can feel chefs unique touch in any coating and taste. So beautiful ambience of great service! Nicolas knowledge about the menu was really amazing. This followed us to taste more dishes and familiarize with the sea beauty that the cook wanted us to experience. Must taste the homemade desserts!

Came here for their Mothers day menu and had a very nice experience. I highly suggest the scallops, best dish of the night! The salmon was a bit underwhelming. We also could have done without all the cookies and sweets before our meal. The staff was very helpful and knowledgeable and even gave us roses when we left. The view is really iconic and made our visit extra memorable. Parking is a bit difficult to find and we ended up driving around looking for a spot. Overall it was a pleasant experience and I would be happy to come back.

Life is too stressful and hectic for everyone to continue on without a break. I think we all deserve one. The beach provided me with an escape after a month of hectic work and stress. Not knowing that I was waiting for a perfect breakfast at the O'Neill's. There is an incredibly calm and peaceful atmosphere in this restaurant. This restaurant's enthusiasm and professionalism were evident immediately when I walked in. I was treated with warmth and professionalism that left me extremely refreshed. The restaurant's highlight is their balcony, which offers a beautiful view of the beach along with the sun's warm rays. Throughout my stay I found the breakfast to be satisfactory with no surprises. The entire experience was absolutely delightful. Among the things this restaurant is known for is its collection of high-quality utensils and crockery. There is always perfect cooking and equitably served food. All the readers of this review should take themselves as well as their friends and family members to this restaurant sans hesitation.

The view and ambience are perfect, it is a great place to be. The food is also a pleasure great Clam Chowder, the Pacific catch was delicious, and when they say craft pasta they mean it! It was amazing, so fresh. Besides, a bakery cook in the house who definitely knows her stuff! They also had interesting cutlery and crockery that was a nice touch, live music, good wine list and park service at Dream Inn so you don't have to fight the boardwalk / pier traffic. Great service!
