Lovely place overall. ambience is a bit tired and Needs serious remodeling. Making up for the boring 80s flooring and seating are the gorgeous views. The views and the walking trails overlooking ocean are close to and next to the breakfast area. Drink coffee, Eat and walk by the water. perfect Saturday morning thing to do.

We stayed at Seascape and we werent sure if we would like eating here because of the reviews, but we were pleasantly surprised. The wagyu was tender and tasty, the Cioppino was flavorful with a little spice, and the clam chowder was delicious.

The staff are awesome and food portions hearty. Prices are fair considering where you at. Atmosphere is worth it all. Great place for a date or watch a football game.

Really enjoyed the breakfast outside on the patio today. Great food, views, and service. You can walk down to the beach after to burn off some calories.

Google seems to get these places confused. Great food, great staff, great view in a beautiful area.

Lovely food and drinks, with amazing views over the Pacific. We came here with a local friend and the food delivered on every level. I had ...

Incredible views from Santa Cruz to Monterey. Saw several paragliders over the beach.
