Chelsea: A World Class Bartender at the View!
We stayed at Chaminade for our honeymoon and spent a couple of nights eating dinner and getting drinks at the View. Chelsea the bartender was not only an incredible and knowledgeable bartender, she was a great conversationalist and gave us some amazi
Happy Hour at Charminade
Great appetizers. Best tempura green beans and tacos. Wonderful service, Andy was great! Bonus good live music!, and all the other staff was great too!!
We made a reservation for 7 of us at 2pm.
It was a birthday lunch. The waiter said they were serving the "bar menu" but we could request lunch items and possibly get them. Two of us did that, but were told it couldn't happen. That was fine. Then we all ordered from the bar
So disappointed.
I've been here one other time and it was exceptional so we were excited to take our kids and spouses for a special night. We all ordered a drink and appetizers. After a bit of a wait the appetizers came and still no drinks. Finally drinks cam

Caleb was awesome! We came out for my birthday and the atmosphere and music were lovely.
First, the view is lovely inside and out.
The nearly panoramic view of the trees and the water just beyond them is soothing for me. The service matches the environment. Ted is a skilled manager, he was welcoming and attentive and guided his team with kindness and grace. Each team member wa

Our waitress, Bri, was wonderful and made sure to get us a fresh brew of coffee with our dessert. Great views and menu options!
Arrived Saturday and grabbed drinks at the bar.
They had a wedding going on and the groomsmen were at the bar, but that didn't impact our service which was amazing! I can't remember the drinks we ordered but they were both refreshing AND delicious! The next morning we had breakfast outs

Ambiance was great, and the view is so beautiful! Food was delicious! Service can be a bit slow but if you are not in a rush, definitely worth the trip.
We could not have had a better dinner experience.
Food, drinks, view, and service were all spectacular. Many thanks to Scarlett at the front for figuring out how to find us a table for 8 outside. And then Jaxson just put on a clinic of how to be the best server ever (as a former server, mad respect!

Scarlet was a gracious host that made the table work for our large group. Thank you for workshopping the table for our large group.
Not good food, poor service, very slow.
Worst "club sandwich " ever. Soggy bread, basically turkey lunch meat with a piece of bacon. Super overpriced!
The service at the view was absolutely amazing.
I've never felt so accommodated at a restaurant. We went there to celebrate a birthday, they let me have flowers delivered for our reservation and they gave us a spot to set up a pretty large birthday sign. They were also SO sweet and accommod

What a great getaway! We arrived at Chaminade and went right to the bar for some cocktails and bites. It did not disappoint. We started off with a watermelon mango cocktail and gin & tonic. Then we followed it with a delicious steak and burger.

Food was actually good but I wouldn't go out my way to go there for it. Service is exceptional, fast fun and friendly. The ambience is worth the drive. However I don't feel the rooms were wort it at all , very dated and no view at all al

You must come when Veronica is working.
No I am not a family member or a friend, merely a customer. Her service was something you used to find and expected yet today a rare find. She is sweet, genuine, and intellectual while persevering your needs without ask. Ambiance was everything Santa
Great Food and Great View
With its bird’s-eye perspective of the coast and Monterey Bay, The View at Chaminade is perhaps the most unique dining venue in Santa Cruz. Gazing at the distant fog bank off the coast while still feeling the warmth of the late day sun, our party
Felt Invisible on a Day Meant to Feel Special
I made a reservation well in advance for Mother’s Day as I wanted to treat my daughter (now a mom of two little ones) to a relaxing, peaceful meal at a beautiful restaurant with a view and great food. She was really looking forward to it, especiall

Everything at The View Restaurant & Bar at Chaminade was excellent !! The staff was amazing. The food was excellent! We will definitely return. Thank you to all staff at the Chaminade Resort!! 🤗❤️🕊🍀!!!
Inconsiderate service from Oscar Reye. If seated with him, please for your own sake, request a different server.
Came to celebrate an anniversary and was met with very rude service. Oscar barely attended to us and then asked abt a tip.
Weekend stay at a beautiful location.
Great food, great staff, beautiful location. Staying at the hotel and enjoying being in the quiet mountains with easy access to the excitement of Santa Cruz.
Great work offsite
The Chaminade was great for our team offsite. Mostly team building but some work too. Great played dinner and wine tasting experience.
Great Hospitality!
The View was delicious! We were greeted warmly by Kaella. She is also a wonderful server and so accommodating with our dog. We had many servers, Chelsea was outstanding and our favorite by far! She made recommendations and was so friendly! We loved
We will be back. Because of your staff.
The spa services were amazing. Deidre was exceptional. Restaurant staff was more than accommodating, they made us feel at home. Chelsea made us feel like we were the only group here. Theresa in the fitness center recommended a session with Ca

Gorgeous view of the ocean from the forest. Great service and excellent food. Definitely coming back. Thank you to our amazing server Kelsey.
My fiancé and I attend this restaurant / bar often.
We, of course, love the view. But we also really appreciate the menu. And the drink selection. They have the best smokey old-fashioned drink ever! But beyond the menu, drinks, and view, the staff is exceptional! Everyone we get are knowledgeable, ex

Two Issues: Deafening noise and a soon to be illegal charge.
1) I'll admit my expectations for this restaurant were high. I thought it would be perfect for a friend's birthday lunch, far more special than our usual coffee or noon time haunts where you approach the counter and order for yourself! I wanted the
This review is just for the Fathers day brunch buffet.
I hope this restaurant runs smoother on regular days but yesterdays brunch was a mess. My dad wanted to come here for Fathers day as we haven't been back in a while. We also had Mothers day brunch here years prior and we had a good experience so we
We came for brunch buffet on Father's day.
It has been a 6ish years since we have been to brunch buffet here. They have moved the rooms used for it to a smaller area with less of a view. The staff was kind and trying their best but they were clearly over extended. The buffet was constantly
Went to the View today for lunch.
We sat outside on the upper deck.We had fish & chips which was great. We got there just in time to get our drink and food order in. Sadly once we were served the service was nowhere to be seen. It was worst for those who came in after us - th

If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to The View at Chaminade Santa Cruz at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the The View at Chaminade Santa Cruz page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* DistinguishedTree58, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* DistinguishedTree58 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to DistinguishedTree58 for any questions Peter may have as DistinguishedTree58 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* DistinguishedTree58 now uses their connections at The View at Chaminade Santa Cruz to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If DistinguishedTree58 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, DistinguishedTree58 receives the $200 reward which is credited to DistinguishedTree58's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at The View at Chaminade Santa Cruz!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
