Lele Kitchen is a continuation of Lena Leskina’s beloved bakery and cafe, now expanding into upscale dining with a California farm-to-table and Eastern European twist. Chef Ulad Skoblia curates a menu that celebrates bold Slavic flavors — caviar, smoked fish, dill, and root vegetables — infused with California’s seasonal ingredients.

Nestled near the scenic Santa Cruz Mountains, our location inspires both our seasonal cuisine and wines. Advanced Sommelier Fedar Kamkou guides the wine program, highlighting Californian winemakers to pair perfectly with each dish. Our casual upscale atmosphere blends classy sophistication with a relaxed vibe, perfect for any occasion — whether it's a cozy dinner with friends or a special family night out. And yes, we’re kid-friendly, with special touches like a small children’s menu.

Whether you’re savoring oysters, clay pot-roasted rabbit, or treating yourself to our dessert at Lele Kitchen, you’ll experience the best of creative, chef-driven cuisine.

    Charming ambience with unusual very tasty menu. The smoked salmon dranik was to die for. Definitely add some caviar.

    The place is new and very nice. Friendly stuff and delicious food. Very fancy serving food on plates and exotic companions of ingredients. Price is a little bit higher than expected though. Would definitely recommend to try it and support local businesses.

    This place feels like a hidden gem, perfect for a special night out or an intimate celebration. From the moment you step inside, you're greeted by a warm, intimate atmosphere—small but incredibly cozy. The attention to detail in the decor is exceptional. The food was a standout, offering a refined take on classic Russian dishes. Each plate was a work of art, thoughtfully presented with high-quality ingredients and complex flavors. The service was impeccable—attentive but not overbearing, making sure we felt both relaxed and well taken care of. Despite the restaurant's small size, the ambiance never felt cramped.

    This is a great new spot. Major hidden gem vibes. The chef's attention to detail is out of this world -- every course was carefully choreographed and composed based on what we had ordered off of the menu. Service was friendly and attentive. It's creative haute cuisine without the intimidating vibe.

    So happy to finally have this place open! The cafe is always incredible and no surprise that the restaurant is too. Service was warm & friendly and we were guided through the entire menu. The potato pie tees were warm, crispy and smooth. My partner and I both also enjoyed sharing their Red Kuri Soup even though we aren’t big squash soup people, we figured it was worth trying and we were absolutely right. The wild mushroom tagliatelle had 7 different mushrooms! Fabulous for mushroom lovers. The wild Alaskan halibut with miso hollandaise was nice and light and oh so satisfying. The desert was an apple chocolate ganache thing (I might’ve said it wrong). sweet & fruity with a crunchy cookie crumbles made it so deliciously fun to eat. Can’t wait to come back!

    I recently visited a restaurant, and I can only say positive things about it! The interior is absolutely stunning—every corner is thoughtfully designed, creating a cozy and stylish atmosphere. The menu also impressed me with its unique combinations of dishes that you won't find in typical places. Each dish was a true work of art and, most importantly, incredibly delicious! I definitely recommend it to anyone looking to enjoy not only exquisite cuisine but also a wonderful ambiance.
