    Music is too loud at tables outdoors near the band. Outdoor heaters are good and it's nice outside especially when the sun sets and the wind dies down. We often eat outdoors there. The food is realiably good and the waitstaff varies from person to person, but is generally okay.

    Oswalds is consistently the best restaurant in the Santa Cruz area. And last night did not disappoint. Great service by Logan and amazing food and drinks. They also have a happy hour menu that lasts until 7pm which is a nice way to enjoy this amazing restaurant in an economical way. It includes reduced prices on their pub food selections as well as a few drinks and starter specials. We opted for non-happy hour items last night for our mains -- which included a perfectly done salmon dish and an amazing duck breast. Finished off with the bread pudding which was so yummy.

    It was elegant and good energy. Drink menu was creative and well executed and the food was really good. I think one knock I might have is that their menu was very limited (5 main entree options). It’d be nice to see a few more options, that’s all. Similarly the wine list was very limited which isn’t in line with the overall quality of the restaurant
