Cana Brava Rum
Recommended Cocktail: Daiquiri $10.50. Cana Brava is expertly produced in Panama surrounded by the homegrown sugar cane that it is distilled from. Bottled in Mendocino and conceptualized by the industry’s leading bartenders and bar owners- this is your new favorite rum		 $9.00
Chateau De Montifaud Cognac
Recommended Cocktail: Sidecar $11. Few cocktails are as versatile as a properly balanced sidecar. Refreshing in summer and comforting in winter—this drink should be in every cocktail enthusiasts portfolio. Montifaud provides wonderful notes of almond and apricot to create a truly superb drink		 $9.00
Sazerac Rye
Recommended Cocktail: Sazerac $13. Sazerac Rye has been around since the 1800’s, when it’s namesake cocktail was first invented at New Orleans “coffee houses” where bartenders would make “toddies” with rye whiskey and Peychaud’s bitters. Don’t be fooled by this cocktails silky smooth nature—it packs a serious punch!		 $9.00
Venus Spirits No.1 & No.2 Gin
Recommended Cocktail: Aviation $11. Founded and owned by local Sean Venus, Venus spirits is the manifestation of 20 years of hard work and big dreaming. Sean produces whiskey, gin, aquavit, and blue agave spirits using locally sourced ingredients in his hand-pounded alembic stills		 $9.00
Rittenhouse Rye
Recommended Cocktail: Vieux Carré $10. Known as the darling rye whiskey of bartenders across the U.S., Rittenhouse Rye rose to stardom when it won double gold at the S.F. World Spirits Competition. Rittenhouse shines in any cocktail by combining bourbon-like buttery caramel with spicy rye notes		 $8.00
Mezcal Vago Elote
Recommended Cocktail: Martinez $13. Mezcal Vago Elote utilizes roasted corn during distillation to create a savory sweet depth of flavor unlike any I’ve ever experienced. While Vago Elote is delicious on its own, we find it plays beautifully in a variation of the classic Martinez cocktail		 $11.00
Eagle Rare 10 Year Old
Recommended Cocktail: Boulevardier $13. Single barrel bourbon from the Buffalo Trace Distillery. Bold and dry with layers of toffee, leather and oak. Tremendous value at this price point and a must for your home bar		 $10.00

My family was traveling near the point in Santa Cruz and looking for a nice dinner. This restaurant was recommended to us by the hotel we were staying at. I recommend making a reservation if it is a party larger than two or three people. It does tend to get busy as it is popular. The children’s meals are reasonably priced at $9 each and are good portions. The three adults ordered the suda bowl with steak, the steak meal, and the catch of the day which happened to be halibut. Halibut. The person who ordered the suda bowl could not stop complimenting how good it was. The steak dish was very salty, but the steak was tender. The halibut was a little bit dry which was disappointing. The bed of accoutrement that it sat on was a little bland. We had decent service, but more attention from the busser. They have outdoor and indoor dining. There is free parking in the adjacent parking lot. What is the best part? It is literally located around the corner from the point in Santa Cruz. After our hearty meal we went for a walk around the corner to watch surfers on the Pacific Ocean as the sun set.

Food was great, genrous portions and fresh. Cocktails well thought out & tasty, but could use better ice. Ambiance on point. Heated patio. Dog friendly. Awesome brunch selection. Vegetarian friendly. Parking, yes. Service a little spotty (forgot our app) but, with a lovely smile and was acknowledged. It’s definitely a top spot for Santa Cruz.

Nice, comfortable atmosphere. Food looked great. The only thing was the wait to get the actual food was over 45 minutes and we barely saw our waitress while waiting for the food. We were left with a pitcher of coffee and it was strong and good but it would’ve been nice to have something to munch on while waiting an hour with just strong coffee. Food was great but was lukewarm upon arrival. Idk

Perfect way to experience local flavors and ingredients! Stellar cocktails, and masterful recipes. Order the Wild Mushrooms appetizer; it’s like Escargot Bourginon without the shells and fuss! Can’t go wrong in this wonderful restaurant.

I went here on Valentine’s with my partner. They had originally forgotten about us, which was unfortunate for us since it was quite cold that night. They eventually realised they had forgotten to serve us (the waiter who originally sat us went off the clock and didn’t note us down). They brought us inside, gave us free desert and a heavy price reduction as compensation. The food was pretty great and the atmosphere of the place (both inside and out) is really pleasant.

Great quality food and excellent cocktails! I wish the menu had a few more choices, but overall I was very happy with what we got. I had the salmon and the other person in my party had the poke bowl. Nice indoor and outdoor seating.

Friends suggested this place and glad we tried it. Super cute place offering good quality food with sizeable portions. I had the lox and bagels and not only was it big but came with a side salad enough to be an entrée. The drinks were yummy. They have a mimosa deal for $30 where you get a bottle and two side juices (there’s like 5-6 varieties); I would highly suggest if you can get at least three people to share. The cocktails are yummy; I started off with their version of a French 75 which I think was called the Suda 75?

This was my 1st time at Süda. The food was fabulous. I had the salmon special and it was one of the best salmon meals I’ve had in a long time! The burrata and berry salad was super refreshing. Their vanilla martini with champagne chaser was tasty and the chocolate mousse with homemade marshmallow fluff and raspberries was so good and hit the spot! We will definitely be back!
