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!!!
Very attentive. They do know how to offer you all the extras on the menu! Be ware! The food was just okay. Lots of butter, or cream or salt. Chowder was too heavy for my taste. Caesar salad had sub par lettuce and very little cheese. Steak was tender and flavorful ... it again lots of butter and in veggies.
