We were in Santa Cruz for a few days and had a wonderful dinner here!…read more All together we ordered the mushroom risotto and added a chicken breast.

My boyfriend went there because he likes the food. He ordered me food to go. An order of…read moreArtichoke Hearts and a side of scalloped potatoes. The receipt says the same. Unfortunately, instead of scalloped potatoes he received a side order of baked beans. Price is too expensive for something unwanted and easy to make like baked beans. He and I expect a refund for the order mixup. Don't know how you mixup baked beans and scalloped potatoes. He was there around 5pm on 6/21/26. Back nine please do the right thing and refund the incorrect side. His name is Brian Curtin so you should be able to find his credit card receipt that is incorrect due to the switch of scalloped potatoes for baked beans , which aren't even an equivalent!! Thank you in advance for taking this matter seriously.

There were several things I liked about our dinner at Hindquarter: The prime rib ($43), perfectly…read morerare, the steamed clams, very good. The Bulleit Manhattan, icy perfection. Our server Matilynn was very pleasant. I could overlook the misses except for the baked potato that was comically shriveled, room temperature and hard. I mentioned it to the server who offered to exchange it but I laughed and said it was ok. It was. But days later when I looked closer at the item that boosted my bill, what is that charge? I called them, politely avoiding happy hour or the dinner rush. I got a bombastic explanation from the manager they're allowed to charge for paying by a credit card. Ok, where did I miss that? She said it was on the menu that there is a 4% discount for paying cash. "Ok. But that's not the same as charging 4% to pay by credit card." She told me to talk to their bookkeeper and smashed the phone in my ear. To finish my review, Baby Back Ribs ($37) - very dry Shaved Brussels Sprouts- boiled to mush Horseradish past its prime If you dine at Hindquarter be aware of their payment rule and either bring a wad of cash or forgo ordering appetizers, wine, dessert or anything that otherwise pads your bill.

This was great, quick lunch stop! I stopped in on Friday during a holiday (Juneteenth) around…read more2:30pm and we were able to be seated right away. We got our food pretty quickly. I had the Jawaiian Jerk barramundi and I loved the level of spice in the jerk sauce. The fish was cooked well and was tender. My boyfriend got the Jawaiian Jerk pork plate and because he has a lower tolerance for spice he asked for the sauce on the side, which they were able to accommodate. He liked the sauce too, but used far less of it! The place is definitely Tiki-themed and the ambiance was casual and matched it. The lighting is pretty yellow which isn't too distracting inside but is why the pictures are very yellow--the food looked tastier in person!

A huge shoutout to Naia, who made our first experience unforgettable. She was on point the entire time, friendly, attentive, and always one step ahead of anything we needed.

Brightly painted in beachy colors with beautiful enormous rattan lighting, and a clean and friendly atmosphere. It has cool wrap-around modern seating benches with boho pillows and mirror wall decor near the pool table. We got to meet super charming Brittany, the owner, and ordered a fried chicken sandwich/fries which was crunchy and yummy and the pile of fries were crispy which we love. Also had buffalo chicken wings - they were so perfectly cooked, tender and juicy. They truly were the best I've had in the area. BUT I cannot say enough how incredibly perfect the Martini that Brittany made me was - A Vodka martini with jalapeño-infused olive juice with two blue-cheese stuffed olives served in an icy fogged martini glass. I think it was called the Spicy Christina. Refreshing and a sipping pleasure. We'll definitely be back for all the above and to try their Waffle-Chicken sandwich. We also got to hang with our favorite local bartender, Christa! She'll make you feel at home with her chatty ways, bar games and good pours!!!! This is a great place to meet up with friends and definitely a local fave. But tourists will love it too - it has such a light and friendly party vibe.

Visited as a family of five while in Santa Cruz…read more The food was fine. The burgers were good, and the shepherd's pie was decent. The meat and vegetables were hot and flavorful, though the mashed potatoes scooped on top like ice cream had an unusual presentation. What bothered me was the service and the surprise charges. The restaurant seemed understaffed and service was slow, although it was busy and we were patient. We asked if one of the TVs could be changed to a World Cup match and were told it couldn't be done. Later, another TV far from us was changed to the World Cup game, which made that response confusing and frustrating. I was also surprised to find an automatic 18% gratuity added to our bill. We were a family of five, which I would not consider a large group, and we were not informed of the charge in advance. The menu referenced an automatic gratuity for groups of six or more, which did not apply to us. I normally tip at least 20%, so this wasn't about the amount--it was about transparency. Overall, the food was okay, but the service and unexpected charge left me with a negative impression. I won't be returning.

Been several times and its the best place for drinks I've found at the boardwalk by the Beach…read more It was a beautiful sunny day alongside the beach, sunny but not hot but also a breeze that made sitting on the patio the ideal choice... Ideal... sorry, fun uncle humor. Unfortunately we were misled by front hostess, after being seated and arranging my baby neice next to me we proceeded to be told we had to order some type of food in order to be seated in our area. So we ordered begrudgingly a side of Garlic Fries which were made fantastically. On this visit it was simply drinks. I ordered a Tropical Mimosa to start, followed by an El Presidente with an extra shot of Don Julio Blanco (no picture unfortunately) and topped of with an Aperol Spritz and a Malibu Planters Punch. The Mimosa, as expected, was just exceptional... incase you haven't notice the trend I lean largely in favor towards Mimosas. The El Presidente was a delicious opposite of "woah wake up" time strong. Next time I won't add a second shot and may be able to finish it faster. Aperol Spritz was a weird one. I don't know if I can say I liked it or not but I personally know it was not a drink I would normally order anyways The Malibu Planters Punch was a tad bit stronger than my usually rum and coke type drinks but I think at this point the bartender was challenging me and I do love when they challenge me. Remember, 3 of 5 isn't bad. I did not have a bad experience I just feel like it could have been better. Getting seated was fast but we were not told we had to order food as we declared out intentions. Our Waitress always had a smile on her face and was very energetic and optimistic. Otherwise, yea, I'm coming back baby!

I went here for the "we believe run" and ordered the "goddess" scramble. The scramble included…read morethree eggs, roasted vegetables, and potatoes which was eighteen dollars. I also added avocado for an extra three dollars. I guess inflation prices. I also noticed the protein bowl was astronomically priced. The bowl had no meat but to ad chicken it was an extra $8, chicken and salmon was an extra $12. I understand inflation, but that's crazy. The scramble came out and I was quite disappointed. Unfortunately I was so in shock I did not take a photo. The portion was small and the three eggs looked like one egg scrambled. The avocado was embarrassing. Three dollars for less than a quarter of a whole avocado? Maybe when I think of breakfast , I think of something hearty or even a bigger protein even when it's healthy. I did finish the food and left considerably hungry. The positive was the ambience was good due to the DJ as well as the service. FYI: There is a 4% surcharge for employee benefits.
