Amazing hidden gem! We had the Santa Cruz shrimp with sashimi added and the Brick Chicken with magic beans and sautéed vegetables for lunch. The chicken was succulent and tasty with a beautiful presentation of vegetables, a half a sliced avocado fresh lime and yummy pinto beans with a special zesty spice. One of the best restaurant meals I’ve had in years! Service was quick and the help are super nice and friendly. Cool modern beachy ocean vibe with a casual atmosphere. Are definitely going back and highly recommend!
I rarely write reviews on restaurants but I immediately had to write one for High Marea. I almost fell out of my chair after my first bite of my Fire Bowl and husband's Ribeye- the flavor and seasoning were perfectly incredible! I wish we had more people with us to try other foods and Pliny on tap is a bonus! Our friends are seed oil-free for 4 years and suggested this place. I learned a lot about seed oil-free and if this is what contributes to such amazing food, we are sold! The decor is beautiful, tables gorgeous and the team/staff is friendly and attentive. The pictures online do not do the food justice. I am telling all my friends about this place and am excited to try the entire menu! Thank you, High Marea!

I almost never leave reviews but I am truly shocked by how incredible this place is and I had to say something.
The Caesar salad, a 10. I know what you’re thinking, it’s just a salad but I’ve come to believe a great salad is one of the hardest dishes to execute. The romaine was perfectly crisp, the dressing blended flawlessly. Absolute perfection.
The tacos, also a 10. The tortillas, a blend of purple and yellow corn, were stunning. I never order chicken tacos but something told me to try them here. Outstanding doesn’t even cover it.
The space itself is clean, stylish, and the branding is so on point. Every detail is considered.
I have been fortunate enough to experience food culture since I was a little girl, from Lyon and Bologna to Greece and beyond, and this restaurant is a true gem. So grateful to have it.

I’ve been to this new restaurant twice since they opened and highly recommend it. The staff are friendly and the food is so good. It's casual enough for a quick bite or takeout, but also nice to relax on the outdoor patio with ocean views. On my first visit, I ordered the shrimp plate, and it was excellent, perfectly seasoned shrimp served with rice and grilled vegetables made for a perfect healthy meal. The portion size was generous. If you’re looking for something extra special, be sure to try any dish made with their house-made tortillas. They’re so fresh, soft, and delicious, and truly a can’t-miss highlight of the menu.

Beautiful, elevated fast casual spot with clearly high-quality ingredients and a polished feel. The burger was a standout—smoky smash patties with bacon jam and melted cheese, packed with flavor. I did wish it had some fresh elements like lettuce or tomato to balance it out. My wife’s fish tacos, however, had a surprisingly small portion of fish for the price. Overall, the food is tasty and well made, but the value feels a bit off. I’d come back to try other dishes, though the pricing gives me pause.
