On my drive to hike to the redwoods, was a bit hungry and came across this place that seem to have…read morea lot more reasonable food prices compared in the general area. Service: great, servers were funny and lots of personality Ambiance: felt like a small town type of restaurant with sport flair. Located middle of the woods 1/2 lb patty $7 (5/5): as strange it was ordering from the K9 menu, it sounded like a good cheap protein snack for the hike. Asked to season it since dog version came with no seasoning for dog-safe consumption. This came out to be a huge patty added grilled onions and so well seasoned surprisingly! Would definitely come again before or after a hike by the redwoods.

What a treat! We had dinner here last Saturday evening and…read morewe could not be more pleased with the dinners, servers and quaint decor. We have dined so very many places in Santa Cruz but have never had such attentive service and an exceptional meal. Everything was just perfect from start to finish. We had the charcuterie for appetizers. And then we ordered the Ravioli as well as the Steak and Lobster. Scopazzi's has both excellent food and service.

I came on a Saturday night and it was packed. But they did have a table for me right away. I was…read morewarned though that service will be slow cuz it's so busy. I sat for a good 15 mins and this older grey haired waiter was helping the tables around me but he wouldn't even make eye contact with me. Then a female waitress came over and apologized for the wait and said there was a miscommunication as to who was serving my table. Would have been nice if the male waiter at least said someone would be with me and tell the waitress that her table was waiting to be helped. Anyway, since the female waitress took over everything was smooth sailing. I ordered the wood plank salmon with a house salad to start. The house salad was actually really good. Nice and fresh with a good selection of veggies including beets. The salmon was good. The sauce was a little odd, but the veggies and rice were tasty. Not sure that the quality and portion size justified the $42 price tag, I'll probably come back to try their pasta. It's an Italian place after all.

We didn't know what to expect with the smash burger but let me tell you our jaws dropped when our food came to the table. We've never had a real smash burger until today. I'm a changed person after the OG smash burger... phenomenal. My boyfriend got the sour cream and onion smash burger and couldn't stop licking his fingers. Quick, easy, delicious. What more could you ask for!

Quack Attack Bakery…read moreand eatery located inside the historic Cremer House (remember this now), that shares a space with locally brewed Humble Sea Tavern. The Good: * FKA "SC Bread Boy," they still sell sourdough boules. * Large covered outdoor dog-friendly seating * Cannoli was delicious, and they have so many flavors that there's something for everyone. *Burgers were omfg delicious. I don't like to use superlatives like "the best" loosely, but these might be the best smash burgers we've ever had. *Fries were also bomb af, and perfectly seasoned. *Fresh beers next door at Humble Sea Tavern The Meh: *A little pricey for a burger and fries, but jfc, it's delicious and worth every penny. *Limited menu and certain items are only available for dinner. Not to mention they're a very small kitchen, so they do sell out. *Not the best place if you're a vegan or vegetarian, as the options will be extremely limited. I personally don't care, but just throwing it out there jic. The Ugly: * We tried visiting here once before but got scared off by the signage in the parking lot that states something to the effect of "Parking for Wild Roots Market and the Cremer House." Well, we had no idea what the "Cremer House" was, so we got scared of getting towed and dipped out. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Conclusion: Beer and burgers. 'Nuff said...

My son loved it because he was able to watch football born both TVs. The people were all nice and helpful. The food was decently priced for the amount we got. I would say though that the food was lacking in flavor and my husband got the fried chicken and it came out piping hot and juicy but the pieces were quite small. I got the short ribs and there was a lot of fat on them.

This past Saturday for Valentine's Day, a few friends and I went to Bruno's Barbecue & Grill in…read moreScotts Valley and we had such an amazing time! From the moment we walked in, the staff was welcoming and accommodating. We asked if we could sit upstairs near the band, and they immediately made it happen for us. That alone set the tone for the night -- no hesitation, just great service. Sitting upstairs by the live band made the whole experience even better. The energy was fun, lively, and perfect for a Valentine's celebration with friends. We were able to enjoy the music, laugh, and really soak in the atmosphere. The customer service was amazing all around -- attentive, friendly, and on point the entire night. And the food? Incredible. Everything we ordered hit. I can confidently say this might be my new go-to spot for special occasions or even just drinks with friends. Great vibes, great food, and great service. We'll definitely be back!

Service is next-level friendly (they're basically homies), and everything comes out quick without cutting corners. I somehow remember everyone's name... except Alex? (Is it Alex? Sorry, man. I'll get it eventually.) The ambiance is like your favorite slightly-chaotic dive bar--mounted animal heads and all--but way cleaner. No shade Monty. The music swings from emo to Shania Twain and somehow always works. There's solid outdoor seating if inside isn't your vibe. I've learned how to play Mario Kart on their little TV, discovered I don't hate Cats, and even squeezed in some laptop time (WiFi's a little iffy, but there are spots nearby if you need it). Honestly, this place is kind of epic--and it's because of the staff and guests are SC beasties and beauties

Sea for Yourself…read more Eponymously named bar featuring the beers of the namesake that shares a space with bakery/eatery (Emerald Duck, which has a separate Yelp page, fwiw) and is located in the historic Cremer House (remember this now). The Good: * Friendly bartenders * Large shared parking lot with Wild Roots * Beers are as fresh as it gets, as they're brewed just a few miles away in Santa Cruz. * Full bar with liquor, if you're not here for the beer. * Food at the Emerald Duck is fantastic. Definitely come hungry. * Large dog-friendly outdoor seating The Meh: * I don't know why, but I'm just not a huge fan of Humble Sea's Hazys. They're always just a little bit off for me, but with that said, I'm a picky b¡tch when it comes to Hazys. So take it fwiw.
