I live close to Ideal so I know the restaurant well. The food is terrible the service sucks and the management is the worst. None of the food is fresh especially the fish. For a restaurant on the wharf its funny they serve frozen fish. The food is way over priced. They have fine dinning prices with cooks in the kitchen that make $7 an hour. If your visiting Santa Cruz and you want a nice meal go out to any restaurant on the wharf and you will have a much better meal for less money.
