Best Live Music Restaurants in Santa Cruz

The tacos were delicious, just the right amount of spicy. Both of my friends had an eggs Benedict dish and they were both amazing. Excellent service, beautiful atmosphere, best view in Santa Cruz!!

Best Thanksgiving ever. Perfect weather and my adult son and I sat on the terrace. I'm not usually a fan of corporate hotels or restaurants but the buffet was remarkable, the view breathtaking and we were not hurried. We asked about hiking trails and were given a map and pointed in the right direction. We took a lovely 3 mile hike along redwood trails afterwards. It's the irst time I haven't cooked a Thanksgiving meal in 35 years!

We always look forward to a meal at the Sardine Factory. The Monterey Bay sardine appetizer was the star of the show. We loved the pass by suggestion of the sommelier to "spread the egarlic on the toast". It really enhanced the dish. The wine she recommended was fantastic as well. My wife's miso butterfish was spectacular. The sandabs was a well constructed dish but the "lighted breaded" dish dragged the whole thing down for me. The breading made it very heavy and a slog. But hey, I could have just made a bad pick. We will be back for sure! Thanks again!

Loved the food as always, creative yet simple enough to let the ingredients “talk”. Fabulous service.

The food was fantastic!!! We were the only people there unfortunately. They even had a band playing. We enjoyed the food a lot!! The service was so so but I understand. She was had no customers so that means she’s making very little money. But I’d give my one customers the best service they ever had if it was me. But the business and cooks deserve the five star rating. 100%!! Fantastic place to take a date or your visiting parents. Loved it!!!!
