My favorite restaurant in Santa Cruz! Hands down the best organic, local and freshly made food around. Family owned and local since 1982. Get the Barbecue Bluff sandwich and spring rolls with peanut sauce. Their milkshakes are delicious too! They have everything from soups, kitchiri, asian, italian, mexican, thai etc. THE BEST!
