    The tacos were delicious, just the right amount of spicy. Both of my friends had an eggs Benedict dish and they were both amazing. Excellent service, beautiful atmosphere, best view in Santa Cruz!!

    Beautiful restaurant with a lovely outdoor space as well. The food is amazing, savory and fresh. Nice wine list too. Had the lamb burger with salad and potatoes... To die for! Also had the meringue and strawberry dessert which was delicate and beautiful to look at. Really a stellar experience. Would highly recommend.

    We ordered off of the Happy Hour menu and had a number of delicious dishes; lasagne & salad, burger & fries, and Mac n’cheese. The Olive app was good too. Also the happy hour cocktails: Negroni & Orange/ pomegranate cocktail were delicious. Unfortunately the avocado toast wasn’t available, but we’ll be back. Our server Janet was great too!!

    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
