Had a beautiful dinner with an old surfing buddy of Jacks. Jocko came down from the mountains to visit for a few days and treated us to a great dinner, and stories of his surfing days in Santa Cruz. Had the best food and service,...which is the norm for here.More

The food is good, although generic. The real downside of this restaurant is the hostess, who spent more time on the phone with people answering questions than she did providing service to those standing right in front of her despite being tired there was a...time crunch. There were approximately 10 empty tables, yet she was unable to seat us, even though we did not ask for any particular tape. She indicated five minutes. It was at least 15 minutes mostly because she was busy talking on the phone. This is unacceptable. Further, we gave our drink order which never came and the waitress. He came some white annoyed when we asked her to please expedite the drinks that we had a Further, we gave our drink order which never came and the waitress. He came some white annoyed when we asked her to. Please expedite the drinks that we had ordered five minutes prior. Otherwise, the view is lovely.More

Hello JanGoldRiver1208, Thank you for reviewing the Jack O'Neill Restaurant and Lounge. I am disappointed to read that your experience did not meet your expectations. I would love to get a better understanding of your experience. If you have time, please email me at wstout@dreaminnsc.com...More
The staff was friendly, on point, and absolutely terrific and accommodating. Our server Tracey was excellent in helping to also guide me through their menu which was so helpful because I now lead a sad life due to food allergies.

Fabulous dinner at Jack O'Neills Restaurant in Santa Cruz. Ricky was our waiter and he provided a superior customer service for our group with his attention to detail, personalized touch and his interest in fine wine. He made our wonderful birthday dinner even more special....The food was excellent from the perfectly cooked rib-eye steak to the moist and tender scallops, the scrumptious rib special and warm chocolate chip cookies and ice cream for dessert. I highly recommend this restaurant and be sure to ask for Ricky!More

We had a lovely week at Dream Inn and had breakfast every morning at Jack O’Neill. The staff was unfailingly polite and cheerful. The food was delicious (huge portions—we realized we should split some of the larger plates), the views gorgeous, and we felt very...well taken care of. Special shoutouts to Ryleigh and Tracey for their kindness.More

Really good food and Tracey P was brilliant 😎 the service and scallops was top class. I will come back when I’m back in Santa Cruz

We have been dining at this restaurant since back when it was called “Aquarius”. Over the years we have had many breakfasts and dinners here. The menu changes often, however, I wish they still served sourdough bread and butter when seated. That is one thing...my kids always loved and looked forward to.More

My husband and I ate here for lunch and it was fantastic!! I had the seafood pasta and my husband ordered the ribeye and fries. It was delicious!! The restaurant is beautiful and we sat at a window table viewing the ocean. Service is excellent!

Tracy’s the best! We had an amazing birthday dinner - Dad got the seared Ahi which he raved about all night and wouldn’t touch his ice cream because he was so full and satisfied


It was my son‘s 18th birthday; neither of us have been to Jacks before…it was a great experience! Thank you Tracey and others for making it a great first visit!
