Great experience with lip-smacking food and awesome ambiance.

Took my senior mother to lunch here and got literally yelled at and thrown out by the chef because we were confused about our bill. I was pretty sad that this was part of what was supposed to be a special visit with my mom. It was horrible and bizarre...

Probably my favorite food place in the world. The BBQ chicken sandwich and salad is THE BEST... I've moved away from Santa Cruz but still think about it often. Owner Farouk is super nice and extremely funny!

A favorite lunch spot for quality sandwich and salad in a relaxing atmosphere.

I really like the ambiance here, it's mellow, friendly, and made me feel like I was witnessing 20th century Paris. The paninis were food, tapenade was even better. I ordered the salami and pesto panini and, though it was good, the flavor palette seemed a bit too same-y, meaning I got bored of it before I got full. I recommend this spot nonetheless :)

Best Panino Sandwich that I ever had in any restaurant. The crunch on the bread was exquisite and the filling of each of the Panini was perfect. We had the classic clubhouse, artichoke, and caprese. All three were mind-boggling. I would recommend this restaurant and it's singular Focus on making the best of 1 item. So many fail by trying to be too diverse on their menu and everything is mediocre instead of having one fabulous food. The atmosphere in the restaurant with the soft background music and the masks on the wall and eclectic decor was perfect again. Try the dessert...We shared a Brownie Sundae... The owner presented the Brownie Sundae vertically in a goblet topped with whipped cream... which made it also unique... plus it was tasty.
