My bff and I got together after 2 years apart (covid) and came to Santa Cruz. We came into Firefish and sat in the bar. The bartender named Trevor waited on us. He was so incredibly nice and attentive!! Made a couple of old ladies feel special. It's been years since anyone has done that. As for the food... It was spectacular. The salmon was cooked perfectly. The outside of it was crispy while the inside was tender and flakey. I had the pesto linguine with seafood... It was the best pesto I've ever had... And I'm Italian!! I highly recommend this restaurant for a treat for your taste buds!

Very great tasting food had the sampler platter with a MODELO . They had ample room for my service dog and my scooter . Also waitress came and asked me if my dog would like some water and brought it in a paper bowl. First time in the year that I have had her out with her Vest on so a SHOUT out to them. And there's plenty of room for ADA Friends to enter . Nice ocean view, too, from any seat in the house

My husband and I went for our anniversary dinner and were beyond impressed. The entire staff was kind and really fun to talk to, the manager was exceptionally nice, and we felt so special the entire time we were there. The food was beyond great as well. This is forever going to be our date spot when we visit Santa Cruz.
