Come for Mia’s Marvelous Margaritas and stay for the wings and short ribs. Good atmosphere. Good food. A definite must try if you’re in the area. Conveniently close to the Arena and Pacific Ave.

Came here for the fully loaded Bloody Mary, which was a meal in itself with a grilled cheese sandwich and 2 wings on it. Ate the blackened fish sandwich which was delicious. The smoked white fish appetizer was also very good.

I liked the vibe of this place. The art on the walls was cool. The tables also had different designs on them, which I thought was unique. Unfortunately, the food was just ok. I had the Grilled Chicken Teriyaki. It wasn’t bad, but it also wasn’t delicious. Their fries were good. My boyfriend got the Cruz Burger, and he didn’t love it. Our waitress was nice enough. We didn’t have much interaction, other than her taking our order. But that’s not a negative point for me because I prefer to just enjoy my time with my company. She came around for refills and that’s all we needed lol

Great Food, fun and lively ambiance. Have gone several times getting different dishes each time and they have all been good. Like the Smoked white fish and the rib plate is good too. And there’s free parking in the back lot! Will be back again for sure!

Outstanding American cuisine with an asian flare. The service was spectacular by some UCSC student named Malorie. Her treatment and attention to detail made the place special. Will return again.

We stopped by here for brunch because we didn’t want to wait at another restaurant for a table. We walked in and we were seated right away. The service here was friendly and quick, the breakfast was delicious and filling. Cruz and taps opens at 11am so it’s the perfect brunch stop before heading to the beach or wandering around town.

The basa is simply AMAZING!! It is too good to miss. Highly highly recommended. BTW, I didn’t feel hungry at all when I started but I finished half of the basa in 15 seconds.

Food here is incredible! Seriously, you cannot go wrong. Everything on the menu is delish. The sauces that come with each dish are so complimentary, the fish and meats are phenomenal. The veggies are all local as well as the beer and wine. I cannot rave about this place enough!!! Thank you for such a great experience! I look forward to coming back again and sitting at another table. All the tables are painted pieces of art and are from local artists! This place has got the heart of Santa Cruz embedded into it!
