Mission West Cocktail Bar • $$
2405 Mission St, Santa Cruz - 5.4 miles

“Mission West is a dive bar with heart and great standards. Everything from the attentive and hard working staff to tasty cocktails, to entertaining live music and events. Under the new leadership and ownership (specifically Managing Co- Owners Amy and Jamie) Mission West retains what the hospitality industry is losing... Thoughtful Hospitality. It is clear that training, communication, and leading by example is practiced. Any bar can make a drink. Mission West makes a great one, but Mission West aims to deliver a great overall experience. I especially like going to their events.“

“Vim is a delightful gem. The recipes feel simultaneously local and global, and strike such a perfect balance of bold/novel and familiar/comfortable. Shout out to the incredible desserts, well-curated wine pairings, beer list, and especially the craft cocktails. Besides the excellent quality food, the ambiance is unique and tasteful. Everyone who works there are consistently nice and helpful and skilled, and I've never had a single bad service experience. I also have to thank Vim so much for providing a full spectrum fine dining experience that includes vegetarians and vegans.“

“Fourth time here and still left impressed. Pizza, gnocchi, ragu, and sole dishes were fantastic. Didn leave room for desert but tried the strawberry and cream and lemon curd, anyway. Glad we did. Drinks were great too. Nice enough for a date night. Casual enough to be a great neighborhood hang. 10/10.“

Mane Kitchen & Cocktails Live/Raw Food •
1222 Pacific Ave, Santa Cruz - 3.95 miles

“My wife and I went there on Saturday for our date night. For appetizers we had the broccolini and the wagyu carpaccio. Both were absolutely amazing. Very flavorful and inspired taste.

For our main we had the pork skirt and the lamb. Perfectly cooked and so tasty.

We shared the creme brulee for dessert and it was one of the best I have had in the last few years.

I would say the price is fair for the portions and amazing for the food experience.

My wife and I agree that this is one of the best restaurant in Santa Cruz county.

If you are looking for a large burger and fries this is not the place but if you want good, well thought out food, then give this restaurant a try and you will not be disappointed.“

High Tide Cocktail Bar
215 Beach St, Santa Cruz - 4.09 miles

“Maybe they needed the service experience reviews from months prior because we had nothing but good things to say about the food and the service. They were accommodating with reservations and they had many servers that were attentive. They even brought us blankets (it was cold that day). Food was excellent as well. Low tide (bottom) was good, but the High tide food was noticeably a level up. We ate dinner and mother's Day brunch there and it didn't disappoint.“
