"This was a horrible experience starting the moment we walked in the door. 5:30 reservation for 8 and the spaced out hostess told us the wait would be “a while” with no explanation or time estimate. After waiting for 15 minutes we asked the manager why we could not be seated while there was an empty table with 9 chairs. Told us there was a bigger party coming that table was held for. If we have also have a reservation and are already here why would we not be seated? After another 20 minutes with that EMPTY table still there my grandma finally spoke up that she no longer wanted to stand and again asked why we must wait for a table while holding a table for a party that wasn’t there. After being seated we waited for over an hour for our cooked food while the sushi sat getting warm at the sushi bar. Appetizer that we were told would take 15 minutes came out with the food. I ordered the sea bass and it had absolutely no flavor. I am not one to send back food but refuse to pay $28 for a meal that tastes like nothing. Told the server that I didn’t want to order anything else as the rest of my party was eating and I wasn’t going to wait another hour just to eat alone. This entire time the manager never came to speak to us, never offered an explanation or apology. I understand that things happen and restaurants are unexpectedly short of staff. As a manager you should be explaining these issues to customers so they can know what to expect. If the hostess had explained to us how short of staff they were we would’ve went somewhere else to eat. Maybe this was a one off as other reviews are great but for a special occasion I would go elsewhere. We were celebrating Mother’s Day, a birthday and two engagements with most of our party coming from out of town. It was an embarrassment and after the disregard from management I will never come back. Only positive was from our waitress who was attentive and apologized for everything. She should not have to do managements job."

"While we go on holiday through Santa Cruz, we decided to try this restaurant based on the reviews. It is one of the better rated restaurants in the area. The location is amazing... You drive on a small pier where there are a number of restaurants and shops. Many birds, seals and people fish. Great place to hang out and enjoy the view. The restaurant itself is quite cool, they have small windows in the floor so you can see the seals hanging under the restaurant. The ambience is the place, so we asked for a table at the window. No one was available and the hostess offered us no opportunity to wait, she said she could have us in the bar area, the offered rotating seats so give everyone the opportunity to have a window view. She said it was really nice and people like it, so we went unwillingly with it and hated it. It's like going to dinner several times from night to day. When the wheel turns, go from light to dark, then back to light, then dark. It was a very depressing experience for us. Also within 5 minutes of sitting, all except one of their window seats were available. It would have been nice if the hostess was attentive enough to realize almost all through the window, had finished their meals and was ready to go before they were on this rotating bike. Nevertheless, we turned an hour. Our waitress gave recommendations on drinks we tried. Nothing that happened there, they were pretty, but fruity, beaten kind of drinks. The food was decent. My husband ordered the burger who was slightly dry, but the Mayo and Pineapple salsa added a great taste to the dish. I ordered the cattle and chicken kegs. They had no taste, but were edible. We were underwhelmed by all the experience. Also, we were really upset with the waiter constantly on foot. You have to go over the rotary wheel to get to the kitchen, so that she constantly went around tables to get drinks and food that increases the inconvenience of the culinary experience."
