Restaurants near Pacific Garden Shopping

This is one of my favorite restaurants in Santa Cruz. The interior and the patio are beautiful. The food is wonderful and so is the presentation. Love it!

04/11/25 weekly dinner. Drove from San Jose. No pics of dinner ( forgot ) - hot mini loaf always hot and fresh. Chicken parmasan and Oaxcan Chicken mole. Dessert was chocolate cream pie and chocolate sin cake with chocolate gelato. Always excellent service and great food.

Welcoming space. Attentive and friendly staff. Boisterous bar scene. Good wine by the glass list. The grilled calamari was quite good.

Such lovely wait staff—warm, friendly, and caring! And the setting is so cozy and heartwarming. Plus the food is excellent!

From the very beginning, we felt welcomed. The proprietor dropped by our table twice to chat and to make sure we weren’t lacking for anything. We shared the generous and tasty mezze platter and then calamari and salad. On prior visits, we have enjoyed their burgers, and wish they would put the lamb burger on regular rotation. It looked like a good place to go as a solo diner to catch a game at the bar This resto has earned a place in our regular rotation.
