The Midway is a delightful restaurant in Santa Cruz, offering a fresh and ever-changing menu. The chef curates the offerings weekly based on the local farmers market, ensuring the ingredients are of the highest quality. The atmosphere is bright, comfortable, cozy, and welcoming, creating a lovely dining experience.
The menu features a variety of options, catering to both vegetarians and meat eaters, and is labelled with gluten free. Dishes like the Albacore tuna crudo and honey yogurt pancakes showcase the chef's skill and creativity. The grilled bavette steak is a beautifully prepared and tender piece of flank steak. The Fogline Farm chicken and the halibut are cooked perfectly, served with veggies that taste fresh. The garganelli pasta and the tres leches cake are also delicious. The wine list is impressive, including a Japanese vermouth that is a must-try.
The service is impeccable and super nice. Located near the Rio theater, The Midway embodies the essence of Santa Cruz cuisine - fresh, delicate, and delicious. It is a must-visit spot for those seeking a high-quality, artfully prepared meal in a cozy and inviting setting.
