- WRWilson ReyesJun 21, 20265.0I liked the place; the attention was excellent and the service was great. I recommend it.
- IRIben RodriguezJun 20, 20265.0great place to stop if you’re ever visiting or even if you live here. lots of locals and great service. very friendly. ample outdoor and indoor seating. we made reservations with open table and the were expecting us but even without there wasn’t much of a wait on a saturday evening around 7pm. we had the chicken wings the salmon and chicken piccata which came with mashed potatoes and grilled asparagus. save room for dessert too. nice wine and beer selection although the beer is in bottles not on tap. ice water served without asking includes nice thick slices of fresh lemon.
- JFJohn FrappierJun 9, 20261.0Maybe it’s just me… But it was just not what I thought it was going to be. The food was overpriced for the level of quality. The steak was not at all up to a level that you would expect for the price. Almost a quarter of the steak ended up being fat. The salad was disappointing for $9. Just lettuce and dressing. The side of prawns was way too expensive for some very minuscule size shrimp. The asparagus was underwhelming. The only thing that tasted even remotely good was the potatoes. This is NOT fine dining at all. Just go to Outback.
- HSHeidi StokkaMay 25, 20265.0Our waitress, Shelley is the BEST!!! We came in for dinner after traveling from out of State. What a gem! The food was amazing, and Shelley made our dining experience so lovely. We highly recommend this cute restaurant. Get the bread pudding for dessert!
- KCKaren CecyMay 21, 20265.0On a recent trip to Santa Cruz from Toronto Canada we were lucky enough to stumble across this awesome little place that I couldn’t wait to write about ! What a wonderful experience! Dinner was absolutely fabulous ( try the skirt steak - it was out of this world) the veg and potatoes were also worth a mention - fresh and delicious. The kids had the best Mac and cheese I’ve ever tasted ( yes they gave me a bite ) and the staff were truly incredible, catering to our every need! I would highly recommend stopping by this quaint little spot and I’m sure you won’t be disappointed
