I've been to a lot of the finer restaurants in the Santa Cruz area but this is by far my favorite. The restaurant is cozy and quiet, the service is impeccable, the menu is written daily to incorporate the freshest ingredients- all this combines to give this cafe a very intimate feel. Since it is downtown, it lacks the views that some other places profit from, but the decor, the seating in the side alley and the relaxed nature of the staff and clientele give this place the feel of a romantic Parisian cafe. I come here for all my special occasions and each time I have had a wonderful experience.
Pros: great food, attentive staff, romantic ambience
Cons: cramped if busy
