Casablanca Restaurant, Santa Cruz

Great service & atmosphere. Food outstanding, great choices. Fried Brie w/ jalapino jelly the best!!! I recommond for a romantic dinner or events. Great view of the bay.

Found this place on the internet, and based on the rave ratings, I was a little disappointed when I got there. But, what lacked in ambiance was quickly made up by the view. Another advantage, is that they have their own parking lot at the back. The food was excellent, starting with their fresh baked bread. For main course, I ordered their penne pasta (only 1 of 2 vegeterian options available) and my wife ordered their salmon. Portion was generous and ingredients were fresh. Service was ok. Again, slightly disappointing for the price you're paying. We went there with our 2yr old, and it was very evident that they do not get a lot young kids in there. The high-chair was from the '60s and with the tight table arrangements, there's virtually no room between you and the next table, so its a little embarassing when your little one fusses a little. Positives: 1. Good food 2. Great view 3. Free parking Negatives: 1. Tight seating 2. Not kid-friendly 3. Not vegeterian-friendly Hope this helps and enjoy your trip!

We had the wonderful experience of eating at this wonderful restaurant. The service was GREAT, they made us feel like king and queen. The chef came out to talk to us and he was very nice,even sent us a free appetizer!!!! There was only one waiter, (very quiet night), but he never failed to smile and check on us every few minutes. The food, WOW!!!! I had the filet mignon which melted in my mouth and my husband had the new york steak which was huge and great. The potatos, oh my God!!! I left SO full. EVERYTHING WAS WONDERFUL. I can't wait to go back.

Well it is very good place to eat, expect to pay for it. WOW. Big time prices. So bring your wallet, or better yet, some one else's wallet!

Great Restaurant. Wonderful food and attentive but low key service. Romantic setting. Excellent choice for anniversary celebration of all kinds.
