Same harbor. Same crew. A fresh look. ⚓

We’re excited to introduce Johnny’s Harborside’s refreshed brand identity, inspired by the place and the people that make us who we are.

Our logo features a fishhook, a nod to the fishermen who’ve shaped the Santa Cruz Harbor and to the fresh seafood our neighbors on the dock bring in every day. Our colors draw from the harbor itself: deep evening blues, soft morning tides, and the fog that rolls in off the bay.

The look is fresh, but everything you love about Johnny’s is right where you left it: warm, unhurried meals on the water, serious cooking from Chef Jeffrey Wall, and a table where nobody gets left behind on the dock.

Come see it for yourself. Johnny’s is where Santa Cruz comes together. 🌊

Okay, okay… sorry to keep you waiting. 👀🐟

The secret is officially out. Our friends downstairs at H&H 𝙃 &҉ 𝙃 𝙁𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙝 𝙁𝙞𝙨𝙝 𝘾𝙤. got their hands on an absolutely MASSIVE 420 lb (dressed) bluefin tuna, and we had to see this one for ourselves.

And yes… it’s making its way onto the Johnny’s menu!

We’ll be running a day of special bluefin dishes this Friday starting at 3, featuring this incredible catch. We’ll be sharing all the details soon, so stay tuned.

Huge shoutout to the crew at H&H downstairs for bringing in something this special. 🙌

Who’s coming Friday? 👇

Something BIG just came into the harbor. 👀🎣

Tomorrow, we’re heading downstairs to H&H for something we haven’t seen in 20 years at Johnny’s.

We’re not giving it away just yet… but you’re going to want to see this one.

Any guesses? 👇

Oysters have a funny way of disappearing around here… 🦪👀

Consider this your warning because Oyster Night is every Wednesday night at Johnny’s. We’re serving up Oyster Rockefeller, fried oysters, and fresh oysters from the raw bar.

Get here before the evidence disappears. 🕵️‍♂️🦪
