“Fourth time here and still left impressed. Pizza, gnocchi, ragu, and sole dishes were fantastic. Didn leave room for desert but tried the strawberry and cream and lemon curd, anyway. Glad we did. Drinks were great too. Nice enough for a date night. Casual enough to be a great neighborhood hang. 10/10.”

“Such a neat place! We really enjoyed this spot. Service and drinks! Their house drink menu is very unique and fun! Definitely recommend if you're visiting Santa Cruz! The entrance is around the back of motiv off pearl alley but if it's after 9:30p you'll need to go to motiv first to get stamped anyways.”

“We started with the bread and butter, and the honey butter was absolutely amazing. It had that delicious, homemade quality that made it the star of the dish. While the bread itself could use a little improvement, the honey butter was so good that it elevated everything. I can only imagine how incredible it would be paired with some warm, freshly baked sourdough rolls or another quality sourdough bread — that combination would be truly outstanding! For our main courses, we ordered the lamb and the halibut, and both were cooked to perfection. The flavors were excellent, and you could really tell that care went into the preparation and presentation of each dish. Our server was also wonderful. Unfortunately, I don’t remember her name, but she was attentive without being overbearing, checked on us regularly, and was incredibly accommodating throughout our meal. Her service really added to the overall experience. Overall, Mane’s Kitchen made a fantastic first impression. Between the beautifully prepared food, attentive service, and those unforgettable honey butter flavors, we’re already looking forward to coming back and trying more from the menu. Highly recommended!”

“Quaint little Mexican restaurant surrounded by Mexican restaurants. The combination plate was one of their specialties, so gave it a try. Pretty flavorful with lots of steak and shrimp. Cantarito was fun, and the Michelada was a meal in itself! 7/10”

“We recently had an event in the separate room at high tide. It was a bit of a somber day to us and we hoped to have a special and memorable dinner of peace and reflection. The High Tide staff went above and beyond - many special touches, a beautiful environment, fantastic service, and amazing food. We had exactly the experience we hoped for and will remember it for quite some time. It felt like the entire staff understood why we were there and wanted to take care of us. And everything dish we ordered was delicious. We are so grateful - thank you!”
