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.
