Fantastic food and service. Also very dog friendly on the patio. We had 7 people, some with food sensitivities. They got us in, had vegan and gluten free as well. Everyone enjoyed their meal and the evening.Dietary restrictions: We had a member of our party with celiacs and cannot have gluten. They were able to serve her wonderful food safely.

Got seated and after 10 minutes. The server checked on the 2 tables directly to our left and right without acknowledging us nor bringing at least some waters for 10 minutes. After sitting for that long and no prospect of getting to order anything yet, we left and went next door for quick service and tasty food.

A typical Santa Cruz food experience: overpriced, bland, & medicore.

It was really good food! I loved the pulled pork! Ask for a side of the jerk sauce, it adds some great smoky, a little spicy, tangy flavor!The staff were awesome. We had a mix up with where to sit 10 people, which wasn’t their fault. They did the best they could to accommodate us.Only warning is there are some pictures of topless Hawaiian women. It’s not sexual in nature at all. However it was a bit uncomfortable with young kids in our group.Parking: It’s right by a paid parking lot, but it gets packed and hard to find a spot at night. There are a lot of restaurants in the area.Kid-friendliness: There is a kids menu, but like I said some topless women pictures.

Amazing Poke Bowl!! Service was ok. Prices were fair for quality and amount of food. It was definitely worth the trip!! Will be back. Get taller water glasses… or fill the small ones faster.
