Restaurants near Watsonville State Wildlife Area

The overall experience was very nice. Everyone enjoyed their food but no one was blown away. We would like to return for dinner though. My father really did enjoy his huevos rancheros and felt the chorizo was a welcome surprise. The views were gorgeous and it was worthy of coming for alone. my mother who is hard of hearing was able to hear and take part in the tables conversation. Menu items were a little bit pricier than at our normal breakfast places but we were at a hotel in the tourist part of town so was to be expected. Our server was kind and took good care of us. Th decor was light and interesting. We enjoyed the pictures of Jack on the walls. Parking was relatively easy but I did have to download an app to pay, next time I would use the valet service as it is validated in the restaurant. The overall experience was very nice. We came for the views and they didn’t disappoint.

Our experience was, as always, delightful. From the reservation process online, and calling the host/ess to say we were running 5-10 minutes late through paying our bill, everything was fabulous. Servers and expeditors/support staff are top notch! Personable, knowledgeable, efficient, accurate, and responsive. Even servers we have had before (but were not assigned to us) greeted us warmly and chatted briefly. The food was exceptional. My hubs and I split a special - rotisserie smoked New York steak and the romaine salad. Our grand had the kids rotisserie chicken. Everything was delivered hot and delicious. Bread, minced garlic, olive oil, and balsamic vinegar are always a hit. Water glasses were always topped off and cocktails and wine were perfect. Love the ambiance and various places to sit (outdoors, garden room, bar, dining room, and now it appears there is a bar facing the kitchen. Consistently great.

The burger I had was delicious. My husband had the braised short rib ragu. He loved it and I did too when I tasted it. The preparations were thoughtful and full of layers of flavor. I had a mocktail (ginger cardamom cooler) - spicy in a good way and fresh. We will return.

Drinks were amazing, food was delicious and service was great from Noelle. We’ll definitely be back!

Great and committed staff who care about guests and provide a lovely experience
