   Came here for dinner on Saturday night and our server was exceptional! We told her about my dairy allergy and she made sure to sub out butter for other oils for all our entrees. I had the lettuce salad which was slightly overdressed, but otherwise great. I added prawns which were perfectly cooked. My husband had the roast chicken and it was fall-of-the-bone tender. He subbed out mushrooms for polenta and the mushrooms were delightful! Both kids' meals were well-made and the kids ate their whole entree!

   A must if you are in Santa Cruz!! Do not pass up the opportunity to experience the incredible dishes from Exec Chef Gus! Always ask about the daily special. Thoughtful menu using local ingredients. Service beyond exceptional! My husband and I come every year and they always knock it out of the park!

   Service was slow, but they were short on staff, so it was understandable. Overall, it was a very pleasant experience, and I will certainly keep it on my list of places to dine.

   Nice ambience and view. Unfortunately, the chowder and menu items did not live up to the hype. We had high hopes for this chowder considering its placement in the SC chowder festival but it was very disappointing. We were hoping to love it:(

   Lots of energy because the lounge was full and there was a duo playing music. At our table in the restaurant it wasn't easy to carry on a conversation between the four of us because of th noise level. Easier to talk two on two. Drinks were excellent. vodka martini and basil gimlet. We'll go back again. Lounge menu is appealing for an afternoon cocktail.
