“Just happened on this place by doing map search for restaurants while in Watsonville. It was magical! Beautiful buildings & gardens. We are on the heated patio & just loved it. Excellent food: ribeye, & steak & lobster. Delish wedge salad too. Took the dessert home & enjoyed that too; the accompanying ice cream was the best. Very lovely experience.“

“This was my bar. I will never go back. Last Saturday I was attacked by a group of young women on the dance floor and while they were recording the incident I was the one removed. While being removed by the bouncer I was grabbed in the groin by a male patron. The bouncer removing me still did nothing. I no longer feel safe there.“

“We went in for a daytime drink while in town. Yes, it's a locals dive bar and clearly lots of regulars, but we were warmly welcomed by them all and were chatting away after a few drinks. As with most places, you don't have to be a regular to fit in, you just have to be a nice person. We will come by next time we're in SC!“

“I didn't get any food, so I'm not rating that. I actually went on a Sunday night because my phone said they have table tennis tables there. I was told they do, but only on weekdays, and I haven't been back there since. I wanted to rate it high because staff was friendly towards me and answered my questions in cheerful and thorough manner. I really liked the vibe of the place and intend on going back soon.“

“Pleasantly surprised... The menu is full of all the generic American food you can expect just about anywhere but it is a much superior version of that food. Everything came with a piece of cake that wasn't so great, and coleslaw that also wasn't so great. It was so much food I didn't really want to eat them anyway. The staff were very friendly, it was a very comfortable and homey environment.“

“Visiting SC from Michigan and came across Suda. Glad we did. Looked like it had a good vibe from the outside so we went in and sat at the bar where we had drinks. What fun! The bartender, Max, was slammed but never stopped smiling. We had fun watching him and talking with him. He knows his drinks! So much fun we came back for dinner another night. Max came over to our table to welcome us back! The drinks and food were really good! We’ll definitely be back next visit to SC. Hopefully, Max, will be there too!“

It was super busy so we had to wait a bit to order because one of the ladies was talking to someone at the end of the bar and kept walking off without helping anyone, but the lady with the pink hair was busting butt helping everyone and letting us know she'd seen us and would be over to help. The music was great, the food was yummy, and I will definitely be back with more friends!“

“Kitchen staff leaves PROMPTLY at 10pm so dont expect any food or dessert after 10. Additionally, the internet states the establishment closes at 11pm. Although the staff (they told us) has been told repeatedly that the closing time is incorrect, no one has bothered to correct it. Wait staff is lackadaisical. They did not communicate last call on cocktails or offer dessert prior to kitchen close.“
