Dolphin Restaurant - Santa Cruz, CA - Santa Cruz Sentinel

Earlier in the week I made a trip over to the Monterey/Santa Cruz Coast areas for work. After a good day's work evaluating Chevron Stations, I spent the night in Santa Cruz. After checking into my motel, I went to have dinner out on the Santa Cruz Wharf. I took a couple of nice pictures out on the end of the wharf.

This first one is just before sunset...
And then this one, just after the sun was all the way down...

I then had dinner at the Dolphin Restaurant, which is the last restaurant at the end of the pier. I've eaten here a few times before and really enjoyed their fish and chips. But this time, they weren't as good as before. Here's an article about the Dolphin Restaurant from the local paper.

I was so tempted to try a different place this time, but didn't. I guess I should give into temptation every once in a while!
