Set high on a hilltop with breathtaking panoramic views of the Monterey Bay, The View, at Chaminade offers a unique dining experience. Indoor and outdoor seating allows guests to enjoy the naturally beautiful scenery which compliments the contemporary California Cuisine. Whether it’s sustainable seafood or locally grown produce, The View emphasizes natural ingredients while providing four-diamond service. A 4% surcharge will be added to all guest checks to help cover increases in labor costs and to support a higher minimum wage.

***Please note that our kitchen closes from 1:30pm-2:00pm to prepare for dinner service. Our bar and restaurant remain open during that time, offering a fine selection of local wines, craft beers, signature cocktails, and non-alcoholic refreshments to enjoy.

Food and service were over the top. Granted it was a slower morning but it was great. There’s a great amount of pride in this place I can tell. The chef said hello and the team seemed busy with tasks. Like they were getting ready or just staying busy. Nice to see this day and age. Kudos.

Our reservation was supposed to be 6:30. We were finally seated around 6:45, but not at a table. We were seated at a counter which was in need of cleaning. When no one waited on us for 10 minutes, we left. It was a terrible experience.

It was my daughter's 16th birthday, so I took her and a group of her friends to The View to eat dinner, while I got a table at the bar where I could see them. They made my daughter feel so special, celebrated her at every turn, and attended their table like they were VIP's. I felt like the staff truly wanted to make it a memorable experience for her. The food was top-notch and the view was breathtaking, especially during the sunset hour. Thank you Chaminade & the amazing staff at The View.

We had huevos rancheros and chilaquiles. Both were delicious, well prepared and well presented. Dessert was the star. Sticky toffee pudding with Marianne’s ice cream and an ice cream sandwich made with ginger cookies.

We had a terrible server who made inappropriate jokes about having to pay him to ask questions. He never checked back to ask about drinks or ordering more. Our food took so long that I had to ask the hostess to get it. I told other staff he needs some serious training! He is not an asset to restaurant”s atmosphere.

One of the best dining experiences we’ve had in Santa Cruz in a very long time - from start to finish. If you’re looking for a special treat, this is IT.

Gian and crew took great care of our table. Sweet hostess. Fish & chips and birria tacos were quite popular. Forest to ocean view was exquisite. Lots of parking and also valet is available.
