Wine tasting on a beautiful afternoon. We drove out to Windy Oaks in the hills above Corralitos and…read morecould not have been more pleased with what we found! What a lovely, lovely spot! The tasting area was nestled up against the vineyard and the tables were shaded by umbrellas. The area was graced with a few barn cats, too! We opted for a standard and a premium tasting so we could taste all the wines on offer. Most were typical Santa Cruz mountain type varietals, so familiar flavors. When we finished the tasting, they offered to take us to the top of the vineyard and show us the views and vines. What a treat!! We will absolutely come back here and tell others that it is worth a trip to Windy Oaks.

But the draw here is that you can walk into the vineyard, up to the top of the ridge, and get a superb view, and picnic on the tables. My favorite wine from the standard tasting was the Night Owl GSM (Granache / Syrah / Mourvedre). They are part of the Santa Cruz Wine Passport locations.

Hideout is a poppin!…read more Every time I come here the food is fantastic. Sometimes there's a wait and although worth it , it can take some time. But we have yet had a bad experience here dining. My last visit my friend and I decided to share appetizers so we could try a variety of items and try a few things on the menu. Everything was so tasty! The onion rings were crispy and came with bbq sauce, one of my fav items we got! TIP: It is a good option to order for a large group, it is a large portion for $10. We also shared the burrata and tapenade, I like that it came with balsamic glaze for a savory and sweet effect. We got the Mac and cheese and added short rib. It was a really large portion too! It was as $15 for the Mac and + $9 for the short rib I believe which I didn't think was a bad price at all for what we given. We had a ton left over which will last us 2 days as a side dish for dinner later on. Buffalo wings came with 11 wings, they were garlicky and the buffalo sauce had great flavor. Overall this is always a great spot to drop by for dinner, drinks, and/or appetizers. It's easy going here, the staff is friendly and accommodating, and the food is delicious.

The smoked Gouda Mac n cheese was amazing and the serving was huge for an appetizer. The charcuterie was on point, they could have added more crostini. Cheeseburger patty was perfectly cooked to order. It was well done but still moist. The seared ahi tuna salad was yummy!! Just the right ratio of salad and dressing and there were plenty of ahi tuna. Our server was great and the food came fast. She had a few recommendations which we ordered and she constantly checked to see how we were doing. 4 stars because the inside looked so much better than the outside. They could spend more time upgrading the outside seating area especially by the fence. Parking is a little rough when it's busy. We just got lucky we found one right away. Overall, I'd recommend this place if you're in the area.

A breakfast sandwich for me and pancakes for my husband with a side of hashbrowns for both of us. Our server, Amanda, worked the whole restaurant by herself and she did an amazing job! She served everybody with a smile even though anybody else might be overwhelmed. Day two we split a breakfast burrito that was wonderful! We enjoyed the hashbrowns with it. They were perfectly cooked and not oily or anything like that. They were made with bell pepper and onion, and they were so tasty! We again had great service with a smile. I think our server was named Teresa. I remember complimenting her on her beautiful hair and how friendly she was. Really good food and a good vibe is always a great place to eat .

Food - 3, service - 3, ambiance - noisy casual…read more We've been here several times in both small and larger groups, weekdays and weekends. We like to support local family run businesses and the food has been good in the past. The wait staff are consistently friendly and mostly competent. We've been pleased that when asked about gluten-free options each time, the waiters know about 90% of the menu off the top of their heads and aren't afraid to say they need to ask the kitchen when there's an item they're not sure about, rather than guess the answer, as has happened at other restaurants. Saturday we had a group of 8 that were seated at 4:45, so not exactly rush hour. We finally had to ask for water after 15 min. It was close to an hour from when we placed our orders before the food began arriving. I had informed the waiter of an onion allergy and requested no onions anywhere on the plate, as well as subbing extra veggies for the pasta. My food arrived with onions throughout the veggies. While I appreciate that they quickly took the plate back to fix it, the new plate had only a single serving of veggies which were so undercooked that even with the steak knife if was difficult to cut, and not great to chew either. I quickly gave up and saved it to finish cooking at home. Another guest ordered the tuna fresh catch rare, and it arrived between medium and medium rare, which was quite disappointing. But at least his veggies were closer to al dente. Another small irritation was that they brought out bread and olive oil, but there were only 5 pieces for our group of 8 so we asked for another one for our end of the table, and they charged us. While we recognized many staff as longtime employees, both the food and the service didn't live up to previous visits, which is even more disappointing because we brought new people to experience their food. Given this experience, it'll probably be awhile before we go back.

With those views girl, we've GOT to sit on the patio! Hubby and I split a few things, and all were delish! Starting with the sourdough bread with herbed butter, OH MY WORD! The bread was light and airy with a bit of a crunch, but not the type of crunch that makes it difficult to eat, it was amazing! The house salad, so good! We asked for dressing in the side, but it came on the salad - no biggie as it wasn't has heavily doused as most places do. Then we had the steak sandwich, super yum! The aioli was really flavorful. We enjoyed the restaurant and since we are here until Monday we will definitely visit again! Can't wait! PS all of the staff were friendly, from the hostess to our waitress (Marissa?), to the gentlemen bringing water and taking our plates. They were all excellent!

If you're ever in the area, you've got to stop by--you will not regret it. Grab a seat at the bar, soak in the vibe, and enjoy some of the greatest pizza around. Be reserved because the owner is a complete opposite of being nice. He gets things wrong and blame the customer. Be careful with them owner other than that. Great pizza.
