Jack O’Neill kept life simple. He was into one thing—the ocean—and not much else.
Located at the iconic Dream Inn Santa Cruz, Jack O’Neill Restaurant & Lounge celebrates that same easygoing spirit with coastal cuisine and panoramic ocean views. Enjoy the best of Santa Cruz dining with menus inspired by the bounty of Northern California.
We source locally and sustainably: fresh-caught seafood straight from the Monterey Bay, seasonal produce from nearby farms, and craft cocktails that highlight regional ingredients. It’s what makes dining with us uniquely Santa Cruz—why go global when local tastes this good?
