Dolphin - Santa Cruz

Been going to Santa Cruz since I was 12 every year for my birthday, and every year’s experience is better then the lasts! I’m 22 now and will be still going for my 23rd even if I can’t eat there until it’s repaired or rebuild. But I’ll be going as soon as it reopens! Best bread bowl clam chowder. Thank you for sharing my birthdays with me an family

This is the best restaurant on the wharf by a milestone! The unfortunate situation we came across today was the restaurant has been closed for a while now due to the ocean rising and damaging the restaurant! I hope it opens back up soon but this is by far the best place to come get clam chowder bread bowls from! The service is always great and they get through the line fairly quickly with their outstanding service! Vegetarian options: They have options Parking: Tons of spots Kid-friendliness: Definitely great! Wheelchair accessibility: They have a few spots that are handicap in front of the restaurant!

Closed indefinitely and fenced off due to damage to pier underneath in recent storm.

This is a cozy little spot located at the end of the Santa Cruz wharf. It only has a count of 7 or 8 tables inside, but if it’s a nice day out, you can also take advantage of the outdoor seating as well.They are open 7 days a week for breakfast, lunch and dinner. They have appetizers, soups and salads, sandwiches, pasta, freshly caught fish, and wine and champagne.The clam chowder was delicious and super flavorful. I don’t eat oysters, but a friend got them and said they were amazing. They looked pretty!I had the deep-fried prawns and fries. They were so good, and the fries were yummy and slightly crispy.The prices and service were good. I have always just gotten take-out here, but I loved eating here.Next time you go to the end of the wharf to check out the deals, you've got to give this place a try.

Breakfast was so good. Best Mimosa ever! Had Crab Benedict for the first time and I was thrilled!
