THE BEST IN OCEANFRONT DININGALONG THE SANTA CRUZ COAST

If we had to choose just one word to describe our culinary point of view, we'd say inspired. Fresh seafood, produce from nearby organic farms, local wineries...it all comes together in menus that sparkle with flavor and originality. Whether you're dining with your toes (nearly) in the sand at Aquarius or heading to surfer-chic Jack O'Neill Lounge for a microbrew and a side of fish tacos, the settings and menu selections are nothing short of inspiring. And if you're too wiped to walk downstairs, we'll bring it all to you. Just say the word.
