The server was great and suggested a few additions that took it over the top. It was unsolicited, thoughtful, and definitely appreciated.

I simply had a transitional breakfast of a large pancake, two eggs, and house potatoes. I topped the potatoes with house salsa. I know it sounds so basic but for some reason I have the hardest time finding this done well and in good proportions. Until now! Everything was prepared just right and I left very satisfied! Staff was attentive with out being annoying. Cell service is very spotty here and I didn't check if there was WiFi. I think this adds to the charm bc it keeps phones put away for a change. Check it out if you want some good food made like it used to be. I'll certainly be back.

Mr. Z gives good vibes, but it's nothing special…read more Located in the Watsonville Hangar, Mr. Z's is in a cool spot and has lots of outdoor communal seating available. Stopped in to order a smoothie. Service was quick. Unfortunately, we quickly realized this smoothie wasn't going to be anything amazing. It's not fresh fruit being used. Lots of sugary mixes. For the price, I would say this place really isn't worth it, especially for smoothies. It's not the quality you deserve and could get from any other decent smoothie shop. I'm sticking with 4 stars and giving the benefit of the doubt. Maybe the crepes and other menu items are good, but other reviews indicate that there are some other issues going on here.

Follow the signs from the parking lot up and down the stairs (or via elevator) to either the bar side or table side to be seated by your welcoming host.

The menu offered many choices but we enjoyed a Club Sandwich and Beet with Greens Salad (option included shrimp or chicken). As you can see, portions a VERY generous. It was a great find for our lunch today and we will return again, I am sure!

It isn't trying to be overly trendy or fancy, and the emphasis on local ingredients and the Pajaro Valley gives it some character. My partner had the Mediterranean pasta with grilled chicken, and our son had the steak dinner with fries and vegetables. I ordered the evening special, which was cheese tortellini with prawns in a creamy sauce. Everything was very good, and the portions were generous. They also brought bread to the table before dinner and kept us supplied during the meal. We had a bottle of Alfaro Pinot Noir with dinner. It was a good local wine and paired nicely with the meal. We also appreciated seeing local wines represented on the menu. We finished by sharing the crème brûlée. It was quite tasty and considerably larger than we expected... definitely enough to share. The service was a real highlight. Our waiter was friendly, attentive and prompt throughout the meal. Since we were visiting the area, he also took some time to share a few local tips, including where to find some particularly good sausages and meats. It was a nice personal touch and added to the experience. Overall, California Grill was a very good find in Watsonville: good food, generous portions, excellent service and a nice connection to the local agricultural community. A solid four-star experience, and somewhere we'd be happy to visit again.

I ordered the Strawberry Milk Tea, which is described on their website as: "Sweet strawberry and green tea with fresh milk makes the best sweet, creamy, and refreshing drink. Topped with strawberry popping boba." After waiting about 20 minutes for my drink, I was informed they were out of green tea and was offered mango tea as a substitute. While I appreciated being given an alternative, the final drink was nothing like what was advertised. It did not include the strawberry popping boba, and there was nothing creamy about it. The drink tasted bland, watered down, and lacked flavor. I was so disappointed with the drink that I didn't even want to try the banana bread I purchased. After a few sips, the entire purchase went straight into the trash. It's frustrating to spend money on something that doesn't come close to meeting expectations. Unfortunately, I will not be returning.

As soon as the server dropped off our pizza, she walked off. Not giving me a chance to ask for a couple extra things.
