Reviews for Johnny's Harborside in Santa Cruz, CA
This place has delicious food and incredible views of the marina area! It’s lovely to watch out the windows at sunset and keep... your eyes open because you may just spot a few sea lions!! The place is a bit expensive but when you combine the amazing viewand the delicious, super fresh sea food, it is completely worth it!! The bar area can make the place a bit loud so Fair warningon that but it would be a very romantic place to go at sunset!! Our part of three shared a salad and it was crazy because westill had extra since it was pretty large sized. It was fresh and tasty though! I got the shrimp scampi and garlic bread and boydid it not disappoint!! It was delicious that evening and I had the leftovers for dinner the next night and it was just as good!Thinking about the food again is totally making me hungry for it again! Read more
Excellent food, super good service. We got a reservation and we got a great table by the host. Then got great suggestions by the... waitresses. It is pricey, but you can't remove stars for that. The prices are in the menu here in Yelp and online. Overall agreat experience Read more
Just left Johnnys, and let me tell you. You don’t want to miss their new happy hour menu! Great food and drinks as always.... Plus the best views in town! Read more
I was in a large group of 15 people. We called in advanced to make sure they could seat a group that big. The food that arrived... first seemed to be fine, great even. The food that arrived for the last people, me, was rushed and not cooked properly. We, mywife, mother and I, ordered the fish and chips. One of our fish was raw in spots. Some of the other fried fish, when brokenapart, oozed water. My mom demonstrated this 4 times to different people and it oozed water each time she squeezed it. The frieswere hard, starchy and over cooked. They waived one of the fish n chips as an apology. We asked for the check to be split at thebeginning. It was given to us in full and we were told to split the check ourselves. Read more
Clam chowder was super delicious! The food was fresh… but very less options to choose from… The place altogether has great... service and comes with a beautiful view Read more
Really a perfect treat. Fish right off the boat and onto our plates, into our mouths, now swimming in our belly’s and the fish... seems to have had a wonderful adventure. We are all getting along fine. Read more
The food was pretty good. Drinks were good. We decided to come here because Phil's Fish Market was way too busy and crowded. The... garlic bread was good. The oysters were fresh and delicious. They were priced well. The cioppino was decent but tasted a littlebland to be honest. The seafood Linguine was pretty good, but not great. Something was off about the seasoning and flavors ofthe dishes. The drinks were strong and delicious. The service was excellent. Our server was friendly and welcoming and knew themenu well. There is parking available in the lot outside, but it is pay to park. The views are great. Great atmosphere. I wouldrecommend this place. Very clean and well kept. Read more
Parking: $1.50 per hour Water: $7 per bottle Specials: +$40 per plate Cocktails: +$20 per drink Food: Reasonable portion sizes... but the flavor is not there at all. At least not consistently. The cocktails were strong but tasted as poorly as the food. I'mtold the clam chowder is very good. None of the other meals were satisfying. I brought home most of my meal but I have nointention of eating it. I did not enjoy my meal so I would not recommend this restaurant. Read more
