I went to SCB over the summer and it really is a food wasteland. Whatever you do, avoid the overpriced casual wine bar downtown. It’s awful food and service!
I recommend saving your appetite and stopping at Shadowbrook in Capitola for a nice dinner on the way back. Make sure you reserve in advance and take the cable car from the parking lot!
