A new restaurant may be making its way to the Santa Cruz Wharf

SANTA CRUZ, Calif. (KION-TV) -- The Santa Cruz Wharf may soon be home to a new restaurant along its famous wharf after lengthy discussions. Santa Cruz City Council will hear the resolution that seeks to add a new restaurant on the former home of the Miramar Fish Grotto, which closed in 2015.

The original location had been a staple of the Wharf since 1929. The original building was demolished in 2020 after significant repairs were proven to be unfeasible to fix for the preservation of the building.

In the resolution, the proposed restaurant would be a two-story restaurant named Miramar with overlook seating, both on the ground and second floors. Owner Mark Gilbert and the City are looking to come to terms on a lease that would be for 35 years once the restaurant is constructed.

Gilbert had been a prior owner of The Dolphin Restaurant, which was demolished after receiving storm damage in 2023.
