Dazzle a date with a destination that’s more than just another dinner reservation! 💕 @Shadowbrook_Restaurant in @VisitSantaCruz is tucked along Soquel Creek, and you can arrive in style by walking the romantic garden path, taking the hillside cable car… or riding in a vintage yellow taxi run by the restaurant itself. 🚕🌲
Inside, it’s all old-world charm—glowing lanterns, lush gardens, and architecture that feels like a storybook come to life, making it a Valentine’s date as unforgettable as the meal itself. 🏡❤️

Been there so many times. Love it!
Went here for our Wedding Anniversary end of December, so gorgeously decorated 😍 the food was A M A Z I N G 🤤 🥰
❤️ My mother and I love Capitola and Shadowbrook was our place to eat their French Onion soup, we did this once a year. This place offered delicious entrées and it became a beautiful memory for me. When I'm headed there, it's my first choice to visit. ❤️
My family and I was just there a little over a week ago and the food was AMAZING along with the staff so friendly and the interior design with all the woodwork so beautiful right down to the landscaping will definitely be back so we can ride the cable car again😁
The first time I went here was in 1998, or 1999. I’m not sure how it is now but I remember getting scallops in a mushroom cream sauce. It was, well, memorable.
🥰I heard of this it’s in capitola !
The food was good! Went on our anniversary last year!
Went there a few years ago. Loved it👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Been going there since a gf introduced me to Capitola back in 1986.
Fairytale wedding venue 🥂

Great restaurant I’ve been there many times, love the trolley and if you walk down to restaurant It’s magical so many beautiful plants and flowers.

My girlfriends and I went to Santa Cruz/ Capitola every year for many years. Had dinner here often. So fun..
