Gildas - Santa Cruz (CA)

5 /5 Erin Clements: Gildas was the last meal in California for our honeymoon, and I honestly wish we had found it sooner in our trip!! The waiter was super nice and personable, and the food was delicious!! My husband got chicken fried steak and eggs, which was a fresh, in house made chicken fried steak. I got the crab cakes benedict. The crab cakes were thick and majority meat. I would have got a plate of them on their own, but they were even better in the hollandaise. We were there very early, so I dunno if they get busy, but I wouldnt be surprised if they do. But the breakfast was 11 out of 10 in my book.

4 /5 Clint Chapel: I had the Wednesday Prime Rib Special, and it was delicious. My waitress was very sweet and attentive at the right time.

5 /5 Nina: We came on a Thursday afternoon for happy hour. Got a drink and beer for $8 each. Server was very friendly and noticed my husband didn’t like his beer so she asked if she can replace it with another kind at no cost to us. Second beer was much more delicious compared to the first (light) one that tasted watered down. Very old and “tired” building inside and out, it’s dated and due for a makeover; the atmosphere is of a “cafe/diner” rather than an oceanside restaurant. Got the $16 salmon special to go.
