This is one of my favorite places on the Wharf! Definitely, try the crab salad sandwich and seafood tacos. Both were amazing! We had great service, and nothing beats the view.

I dont usually give 5 star but this one is worth it There were 10 of us and we tried many items from the menu, each one is satisfying. All the food was cooked to perfection, the taste was spot on and the sides were all amazingly good. The place ticks all the criterias, food, service, view and atmosphere.

Food and service is amazing! In my humble opinion it has the best calamari on the wharf. My family just got appetizers, but we could not stop ordering the oysters because they were so good.

It was one of the best meals in California. Pacific Snapper was very good, the vegetables were crunchy and tasty. The food was decorated very nicely. The restaurant also had a million-dollar view. We enjoyed seeing sea birds, boats, and a beautiful shore.

Firefish Grill is the most upscale restaurant on the Santa Cruz pier. This is the second time I've been and the quality of fish is fresh and delicious. The views of the ocean and birds flying is entertaining while you enjoy your food. Their service was great! Look forward to coming back again!

This restaurant is getting an unusual five-star review. I say unusual, because fishing pier and tourist area restaurants don't usually do so well in my book.

Walk down the Santa Cruz Pier to find a gem of a restaurant! Lovely bright nautical ambiance welcomes you as you step inside. As you enter, you will be greeted by servers and bartenders who could not be more friendly or attentive. We had a lovely table with a beautiful water view. Our charismatic server Zander helped us through the menu and guided us to some fabulous dishes. Come to Firerfish Grill for an outstanding culinary experience!
