Attentive and kind staff. Went the extra mile for my son's birthday. Food was fabulous. View was perfect. Even the guys watching a game at the bar wished my son Happy Birthday. Just a really awesome bunch of human beings. 🩷
My wife and I walked to the restaurant within a couple of minutes. We were seated and asked about drinks very quickly. I had the BBQ ribs. The portion was big as it was a half rack of ribs(about 6 bones, plenty of meat and I think the sauce was house made. We will be back and I will recommend this place to friends.
Great vibes ! Evan was my server he’s adorable and super attentive! I order the fish tacos and they were great, nice flavor ! I waited less than 20 mins for my food to come out . The drinks were strong and there’s live music on some days ! I would definitely come back . Santa Cruz was great and the beach views are everything!!!
