Jack O'Neill Restaurant & Lounge

Jack O'Neill Restaurant and Lounge sits at 175 West Cliff Drive with the Pacific Ocean spread out below it, and the view alone would be enough to make it worth visiting. Named for the legendary Santa Cruz surfer and wetsuit inventor who changed ocean culture forever, the restaurant and lounge carry that legacy into an upscale dining experience with panoramic ocean views from every seat. Live acoustic music plays in the lounge, adding warmth and life to an atmosphere that is already one of the most beautiful in Santa Cruz. The food and wine are serious, the ocean is right there, and the music makes it feel like a celebration.
