The Reuben was huge, easily split between two. I paired it with a local IPA that cut through the richness nicely. A solid lunch spot if you&#39;re hungry.

The crust is the star, crispy outside and soft inside. They definitely know their dough and wood-fired oven. I had a glass of a bold red with it, and the pairing was spot-on. A solid choice for pizza and a good drink.

Drove from San Jose just for the cinnamon rolls. They&#39;re the real deal! Service kept our coffee coming, which was perfect for catching up with friends.

The coconut shrimp is the only thing I care about here. The batter is crispy, not greasy, and the coconut flavor is actually noticeable. The shrimp inside is big and doesn&#39;t taste rubbery at all. That&#39;s a solid dish.

The pad Thai was so fresh, with crisp veggies and perfectly cooked noodles. My little one even ate it all!

This Irish stew was the perfect cozy find on a chilly day. The meat was so tender, and the Guinness was poured with that perfect creamy head. Felt just like a little pub back home. 🍺

Great spot to bring your dog. The outdoor heaters really help when the breeze picks up. Staff was super nice about it. The view of the water is the best part.

Nice family-run spot. The staff is super friendly, makes you feel at home. Got the lunch special, came out quick. Perfect for a fast bite between meetings.

Stopped by for lunch, Finn was super friendly. The lunch special with pork gyoza and TNT roll was really good. Everything came out fast, which was perfect for a quick bite. Solid spot.

The wait for the food is real, but you can tell it&#39;s all made fresh. The quality really comes through in the flavors. The space itself is nice and open, with a relaxed vibe that makes the wait feel okay.

Been coming here for years, and I always appreciate the solid gluten-free options. Keeps me coming back.

The pet menu was a thoughtful surprise! My dog got a little grilled chicken and rice bowl. The chicken looked fresh, not greasy at all. It&#39;s nice to find a place that considers our furry friends&#39; meals too, not just ours.

My go-to for a quick breakfast. The food is always solid, and I&#39;m in and out fast. Perfect for a short lunch break.

The in-house ice cream is the real star here. Just had the burnt cinnamon seasonal flavor and it was so creamy. Perfect spot to grab a cone and catch up with friends after dinner.

The back terrace is such a nice spot to work. Had the breakfast gnocchi and a mint iced latte. The gnocchi portion was pretty generous for the price, which I always appreciate. A quiet morning with the waterfall sound.

The cornbread was moist, the mac and cheese had a nice cheese pull, and the coleslaw was fresh. But the portions for the sides felt a bit small for the price they charge.

Been coming here for years, and their caldo de pollo is still the best. I&#39;ve joked with the staff about buying the recipe! It&#39;s the perfect spot to catch up with friends over a comforting bowl.

The Baja fish tacos are really good. The fish itself was so fresh and juicy, the cornmeal batter gave it a nice crisp. I especially liked the pickled red cabbage, it added a bright, tangy crunch. The seasoned mayo tied it all together nicely.

Parking&#39;s tight, but they have a small lot in back. The energy inside is lively, which works for a casual business lunch. Food came out quickly.

Great gluten-free menu. The dedicated fryer for garlic fries is a real plus.

Santa Cruz Benedict was on point. Poached eggs perfect, hollandaise just right. Got a table on the patio. Good spot for a lazy morning.

Been coming here for years, always good. Love the covered patio with heaters when it rains.

A classic mom-and-pop spot. The owner&rsquo;s been here forever and you can tell&mdash;service is smooth, no fuss. Got the daily special, felt like a regular.

Love the kitschy, old-school vibe here! It&rsquo;s perfect for catching up with friends. All the fun signs and memorabilia give it that classic Santa Cruz beach town feel. So cozy and a great spot to hang out for a while.

Been coming here for years. The Manresa pizza is consistently solid, and they never skimp on the toppings.

Busy Saturday, but that ticketing system really works. The line moved way faster than I expected. Staff was super friendly even when swamped.

The sandwiches here are always a solid choice for me. I really appreciate how fresh the ingredients taste, especially the crisp veggies and quality proteins. It feels like a genuinely healthy meal, not just a quick bite.

The veggie spring rolls were so fresh and crisp! Really appreciated the quality of the ingredients.
