No wonder everything is red, so you can't see the slime covering everything. Secondly, the bartender with the beard and glasses thinks he's cooler than a steaming pile of poo. I walked in with my girlfriend, and the bar was pretty much empty. They had three people behind the bar, but they didn't greet us for over 5 minutes. The bartender finally walked over and said, "What do you want?" I asked for a bar menu, and he said it was on the wall. I asked if there was a printed version; he said no, but I could get up walk across the long ass sticky bar and look at some half assed tiny writing on the wall that you could barely read, even if you were up close to it. Then he walked away to chat with his friends. At that point, I left. If I were the owner, I would be concerned that there is a bartender turning away business, especially when I hear the industry is struggling and alcohol sales are WAAAAAAYYYY down. Good luck. Honestly, go down the street to Ulterior; they are sooo nice!!! They actually said hi when I walked in and gave me a menu what a concept. I made sure to leave them a BIG and I mean BIG TIP!!

    Of course I've never been here so I checked Yelp reviews and it looked like it had pretty good…read morereviews. We didn't have reservations and it was on Mother's Day. But we got seated right away for three people. We got seated towards the back of the restaurant where the other bar is. I start to look at my menu for a couple minutes and I noticed something weird happened that I was in a different spot. And then I realized that I was sitting on a rotating platform! It was super cool because you always get a rotation to view the ocean many times. I only ordered one drink, because I had a 2 1/2 hour drive home, which was really good and my bistro steak (medium rare) was so good. It had a really nice char and taste to it. I'm definitely coming back to check out their other entrées and hopefully have more time to have a couple cocktails!

    We enjoy Hawaiian food, so we made this our lunch stop at Santa Cruz. It's located near the end of…read morethe pier so it was a little walk to get here. We were seated immediately on a Saturday, which was nice. The AC/fans were blasting so it was actually really chilly inside, but you've got a great view of the ocean and the revolving bar is a bit of a trip to watch! I got the honey macadamia nut prawns, my wife got the tamarind Pua'a, and the kid got coconut prawns. The food was decent- not bad but nothing notable in our opinion. Perhaps our thoughts were swayed by the prices- a little expensive we thought. Decent lunch but a one and done place for us.
