Literally best place in my opinion on the wharf. Prices are decent and not overcharge like tourist price. The food is fresh and cooked amazingly. I've been coming here for over a year and it's always been fantastic service! Gia, the waitress and I have become really good friends and she always puts a smile on everyone's face! Her, Joe, Jack and Morgan are my fav peeps to see when I come in! And the COOKS! I don't know their names but damn do they know how to cook!!!!!!!

First of all, the service was GREAT. Ismael was our server, and he was so nice to us. Secondly, the food was AMAZING!!! You should really try the fried clam strips, and the clam chowder was lovely. Also, they got the food to us so fast. We actually had enough time to finish our meal. There are many more reasons why this restaurant was so good. Next time you are at the Wharf come here.

My family loved the calamari. Wife got it fried, grandma got the calamari steak. They loved their dishes. I loved the ravioli but the best part was the garlic bread! Hands down best garlic bread I've had in a very long time. We went during a slow period so there was plenty of seats and the staff was very friendly and attentive. Great meal!

Great service and great food. They have some Benedict options so their eggs Benedict was amazing and the fruit bowl was very fresh so I enjoyed that. And of course just cannot be the views eating right over the ocean like that the best.

Looks a little sad from outside but definitely not sad on the palette. Delicious food. From Clam Chowder to Seafood Fettuccine. Was much more than I expected.

Gildan is awesome! Breakfast, lunch or dinner, it is all yummy! They have a full bar and great views. If you're in Santa Cruz, Gilda's is a must stop. Lots of neat history on the walls as well.
