“My date and I came here and were both amazed. We started with the crispy calamari, and it was deliciously crunchy as expected! I ordered the Seafood Pasta with Marinara Sauce, and he got the skirt steak. The portions were plenty large for us, and we left full and happy. I can't even describe how delicious and perfectly cooked our food was. Our waitress was extremely kind, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu. I absolutely recommend this place if you are looking for the perfect small and intimate place to eat!”

“Googled a dog friendly restaurant and this popped up. Been coming to Santa Cruz since 1966, and don’t know why I had never been here before. Incredible food, amazing service, great atmosphere. Shelly, even brought our two pups a chicken dinner and ice water Finally got a steak cooked the way I like! Will return often. Such an amazing surprise”

Filet Mignon 8 oz

$42.90

Eight-ounce filet mignon with broccolini and your potato choice.

Filet Mingon was amazing; nice crust on the outside & cooked to perfection on the inside. Prawns had a little pop with each bite. Spinach ravioli was life changing with each swirl in the homemade pesto sauce. Mashed potatoes were smooth & broccolini tender crispy. Fun and/or romantic place to eat. Service was warm & welcoming. Will travel for this food!”
