“We love this place for dinner after a day at the boardwalk. Beer, tacos and shuffleboard in a relaxed counter service atmosphere. Highly recommend!Kid-friendliness: They have awesome grilled cheese and the kids are entertained by the shuffleboard while the adults finish our beers.“

“We recently visited the Santa Cruz tasting room after an event we attended in the area. Our server was very personable and attentive.The ambience of the tasting room was cozy and artfully decorated. Lastly, the wine flight was incredible. They offer an option of a custom tasting flight which allows flexibility based on your preferences. They also have a small bites menu available which looked tempting but alas we had just eaten.“
“I celebrated my birthday with my boyfriend last Wednesday at this cute and amazing place. The ambiance is incredible, very cozy and modern. The service was outstanding, food was great, and the drinks really good. We started with their Cantine Spritz and Rose Spritz, they were both really good, but Rose Spritz was my favorite. We ordered a wine flight, they came in beautiful mini bottles, which was very detailed and beautiful. The wines that we picked tasted awesome. For tapas, we had tortillas espanolas and Fromage. Fromage comes with goat cheese, Brie and Gorgonzola cheese, everything that I love. It also comes with pecan, bread and a delicious spicy jam. Please you have to try this jam, it's super delicious. Tortilla Espanola is a combination of different flavors and really really. I recommend everything that I ordered. And I want to come back as soon as possible.“
“I was most excited to try Barcelonetta when driving through SC for a couple days from the city and overall, found it to be a pretty good experience. So we wanted the paella and some tapas and well enough, the restaurant had a set menu designed to cater to that perfectly. And honestly if you have an appetite, definitely do this because understand that paella takes a while to make and our waitress did a great job of slowly delivering dishes to us in a means that made the wait feel reasonable (a restaurant that brings their apps before the entrees, smart thinking lol). Great organization to the dining experience here.Jamon Croquetas are simple but insanely good... the right amount of crisp and perfectly cheesy, meaty filling. I was thinking that these would be great if served with either a light sauce or some kind of sweet dip or drizzle.Whipped Feta & Beets/ Fruits: honestly thought this would be an afterthought plate but wowww, this was incredible. A rich feta flavor in every scoop and paired with your choice of various beets/ fruits and some pistachios. Fantastic!Potato balls, nothing too insightful to say they were really good, maybe a bit potato heavy on the filling, preferred the jamon ones we gotHoney salmon toast was the perfect amount of sweet and savory, though a bit small. Needed an extra bite or two to really take it in.Paella was the big one. For the price, you really get a lot of food. I loved that the shrimps were whole and cooked perfectly, same with the other variety of white fish, clams, etc. I couldn't finish this one because wow, overall the paella had so much oil and either due to that or my overconsumption on the appetizers, I was feeling kind sick about halfway through this dish. That didn't stop me because it was super delicious and the socarray was perfect but something to acknowledge lol. Would think that the fish could easily serve 3 or 4 people.So, food was pretty great overall. For me the restaurant atmosphere felt a bit clinical and not lived in from an interior decoration lens. But hey, everyone has their own tastes. With some drinks and tip the whole deal was about $150, which is pretty solid for a good dining experience for two.“
“Continues to deliver great food, friendly service, and epic margaritas! Their menu is broad and has no weaknesses. If you're vegetarian, go for the Flatlander, if you are all about dessert, get the flan. You really can't go wrong!“
“Vino Cruz is a refreshingly casual wine bar. There are so many choices, each with very detailed descriptions, making it easy for the novice to order something that they'll like. And the owner always has great suggestions. Really enjoy the live music, especially the Samurai Gypsies.“

“Just stopping by from out of town and I have to say I am so happy we did! Not only was the banana cake to die for our drinks were very tasty. We spent an hour doing some work and the lovely woman at the register greeted almost everyone by name, making for such a warm and welcoming environment. We will definitely be stopping by again!“
