As of January 2006, they are running specials on Sunday (three entrees are priced at $13), Monday (Prime Rib at $13), and Thursdays (all Seafood at $13). We definitely recommend anyone visiting the San Francisco Bay Area to look into visiting the Shadowbrook Restaurant. The oyster mushrooms which accompanied Tina's scallops were the perfect combination for her dish. The potatoes, made of Yukon Golds, were rich and creamy while still having a strong potato flavor and texture in the mouth.
Tina's favorite part of her Scallops dish was the mashed potatoes. I did ask about my sauce, which was made by flavoring butter with shrimp shells and blending with a bit of lemon juice, white wine, garlic, and parsley. I have to say that the texture was fine, and it was a good excuse to eat the rest of my sauce. Make online reservations, find open tables, view photos and restaurant information for Shadowbrook. I can't properly comment of if my rice pilaf was good or not because I couldn't resist mixing it with a little bit of my sauce. I felt that my shrimp (which were very large) was a bit tougher than I prefer, but the sauce it was served with more than make up for it. The sauces for both dishes were very flavorful and the spinach was fresh and wilted just enough. Our waiter was knowledgeable and easy to talk to (without the airs and pretentiousness of some knowledgeable waiters). We ordered a glass of the Shadowbrook Chardonnay to accompany our seafood order: Scampi and Fresh Eastern Scallops. At $13, you'd be hard pressed to find a restaurant that could serve up a better tasting dinner.ĭinner began with fresh baked bread and butter. The heart of world-famous Shadowbrook is a log cabin originally built as a summer home in the 1920’s. We dined on a Thursday evening when (for a limited time), the Shadowbrook offers any of their seafood entrees for $13. The seafood entrees at the Shadowbrook are excellent and the prices are reasonable, ranging from $20 to $25. Perhaps, comfortable and relaxing is a better description of how the place makes me feel. The Shadowbrook is neither small nor cramped, but it definitely has a cozy feel. Many restaurants are described as cozy, which is an adjective that I take to mean: small and cramped. This table overlooks the outside sitting area by the creek.
Most of the tables have a view of either the gardens or the Soquel Creek.
Its fine food, extensive wine list, and unparalleled setting and atmosphere have earned it numerous awards for food and service, including Best Date-Night Restaurant and Top-100 of America’s Most Romantic. The interior of the restaurant is just as nice as its exterior. A Santa Cruz County landmark ever since it opened, Shadowbrook continues today to be a favorite with locals and visitors alike. Even if you don't take the hillavator down, you'll probably take it up after indulging in the delicious food. It was installed 1958 and is believed to be the only inclined elevator servicing a restaurant in the United States. The inclined elevator (or hillavator) is an interesting piece of history. One of the paths leads to an herb garden for the exclusive use of the chef.įor those who do not wish to walk down through the garden, an inclined elevator brings guests down from the parking lots to the restaurant.
