We had dinner here during our stay. We ordered the okonomiyaki fries and pacific calamari to share. I ordered the steamed mussels for my main. The okonomiyaki fries were delicious. The fries with the spicy mayo and teriyaki sauce made the dish. It was very savory. My son enjoyed it. The fried calamari was also good. The calamari and jalapeno peppers were crispy and salted well. The sweet and sour sauce that accompanied it was added a slight heat to the dish. We enjoyed our meal here and would return the next time we are in Santa Cruz. read more

I returned to West End over a year after my last visit, and so much has changed! They rebranded to West End Izakaya and now serve Asian-inspired dishes, rather than their previous American farm-to-table menu. Honestly, I can't say this change is an improvement. My grandma and I visited around dinner on a Saturday and were seated on the (dog-friendly) patio. They did have propane heaters, but not enough of them, so it was quite chilly. For drinks, we both got hot Green Tea to warm up, which was very standard - served in pre-packed tea bags. For food, we ordered the Okonomiyaki Fries and Maitake Mushroom Flatbread to share. The Okonomiyaki Fries were pretty good and I enjoyed all the toppings, especially the spicy pink mayo. I usually prefer thinner fries, but I liked the crispy texture. However, the Maitake Mushroom Flatbread was a bit disappointing. There just wasn't enough bechamel and mozzarella on top and the flavor somewhat bland. Service was friendly, but I miss their old menu offerings, like the Heirloom Tomato Flatbread. Not a huge fan of the rebrand! read more

A local recommended this spot for us. At first glance, we loved the ambiance bc it was a perfect balance of casual but still stylish and cozy. We ordered the veggie curry which was packed with veggies and tasted great! We also ordered the Kbbq chicken pizza needed more flatbread which was okay, it really needed more sauce but our water brought extra which helped. Service was very nice! read more

Found this place on Yelp after searching for a cute dinner spot in the area. It was tucked away in the far end of the building but had lots of parking available. The vibe was really cute inside. The bar area was large and had lots of TVs. It was nice to sit there because we wanted to watch the Lakers play. We were seated right away but it took a long time for the server to come to us. She was running around and very busy so it was understandable. We asked her to move us to a different table to be further away from the door and the breeze. She obliged us. We weren't sure about what to order but decided on the ahi poke, calamari and mushroom flatbread. The ahi had fennel all around which gave the whole dish a licorice taste that we didn't enjoy. The calamari batter taste was good but the consistency of the squid itself was a little tough. The best part of the meal was the mushroom flatbread. The beschamel sauce on it was delicious. The mushrooms were tasty. The crust was nice and crisp. Overall, the place had a nice ambiance and the service was average. The food was ok. read more

I'd give about 3 starts to this place for the food, an extra star because they have Hitachino beer available. You can't really find that brand being served very often in restaurants. The okonomiyaki fries were good. My entree was the Vietnamese noodle bowl. The flavor was good but I thought it to be a bit overpriced at $26 for just Vietnamese bun. You can usually get a good bun at a Vietnamese place for under $20. read more

Made our way to Santa Cruz from San Bruno city and our maps took CA 1. Boyfriend was craving a burger so when we exited the highway, I searched the closest burger spot and came across a couple. We decided with West End. They have a shared parking lot plus street parking on the back of the building. West end ambiance was nice, calm and were greeted at the door even tho there wasn't exactly a host waiting. Different waiters would come up to anyone who walked through the front door to sit guests. There were was small kids menu provided and provided paper gami folding for kids to learn to fold a cat (Asian/ Japanese fusion) there was patio area for dining and inside but we decided inside as it was a light breeze. Dogs are welcomed on the patio area! We arrived around 1pm and it was pretty empty as well on a Saturday. Honestly didn't really know what to order but my bf ordered the smash burger and side fries ( don't like you have to pay $5 for side of fries) I think fries should always come with a burger. My kids (3 years old) shared the mushroom pizza . Mushrooms were shitakee like, Medium pizza with 6 small slices, it was MID. Not worth $22 also Didnt want to try anything else. Advice: come for the smash burgers and fries, soo good and even my girls wanted the burger more than their pizza, they loved the mushrooms too even tho they normally take out all toppings! I have a 3 star because it was pretty empty and waiter didn't refill waters or ask if we needed anything During our time read more

Great burger here. Reminded me of an In n Out burger. The string beans were also very flavorful. We also really enjoyed the mussels! Service was ok, friendly but not very attentive. The place was large but had an awkward area in the middle that you had to walk around. Anyway a good spot to grab dinner. read more

A large, cool space, with a big long bar for drinking and eating. The sashimi was perfectly cut with a delicious, citrusy sauce; the egg rolls were crispy with an unreal thick, sweet sauce. The flatbread perfectly captured the essence of Korean fried chicken. Cocktails were strong, and inventive. Will definitely be back to try the burger and dessert. read more

This review is specifically for the new menu which has some gluten-free options but not many. We started with a dozen oysters and they were delicious. There was what seemed to be some tiny slices of apple on each, which I hadn't experienced before and actually enjoyed. I do prefer more of a vinegar/spice with my oysters, and it was cool to experience a sweeter version. Then we both ordered smash burgers with gluten-free buns and regular fries. SO satisfying. My only feedback for the new menu would be to offer different types of cheese for the smash burger. American Cheese works and it just isn't the most sophisticated/clean option out there. Overall, I'd recommend! PS, customer service is inconsistent. Focus on the food. ;) read more

This place is awesome! Nice employees, great food, and even better drinks! We came during a happy hour on a Thursday and we ordered 2 oysters, a Mozzarella flatbread, a beer, 2 wines, and a wine cocktail. Our bill came out to $26. What an awesome spot with nice outdoor seating. Will definitely be coming back. read more

I'm a fan. My wife and I stopped by here for a early dinner and everything was great. The vibe is chill and service is friendly. I had the specialty fries which were delicious. I also had the waygu smash burger which has fantastic flavor (I'm not usually a fan of smash burgers but this one rocked). Service was kind and friendly. Prices were reasonable. All n' all, a great experience. I'll be back. read more

I like their rebranding. All in all I thought the food was really solid. For starters: Calamari, Tempura Inari, and OKONOMIYAKI Fries were all tasty. Although I ill say the Inari was not what I was expecting. I liked the tempura jalapeños that came along with the Calamari - nice pairing. SAKE-DON was quite tasty. Really liked how all the flavors in it came together. The fish itself could have been a little bit more tender/juicy. Good things were said about the Ramen and the Fried Chicken that my fellow diners ordered. My husband got a "kiss Godzilla" cocktail which I thought was quite nice. Service was a little slow. This maybe was exasperated by the fact that I had kids with me that got really antsy. Kids menu is lacking, but they do have French fries and all kids love French fries I"m pretty sure, so you can totally bring your kids. Was pretty busy on a Saturday night, but they do take reservations! read more

For starters we got the calamari & the shareable fries. A little too chewy for my liking but can we please talk about that vinegar dipping sauce! I could drink that. I will pay for a bottle. Their fries are good. We got 2 of the Portobello mushroom burger. We added bacon on one of them. Side salad or fries. Burger was okay, it could use some sort of aioli. Flavor was flat. The ribs was good. Tender and delicious. The griddled ham & brie sandwich was great, especially paired with their house salad which was massive. Drinks & beer were good. We sat al fresco. Nice patio area. But the interior was also pretty cool. They have these individual booths with chalkboard paint - we saw people write happy bday or whatever they're celebrating. Food came fast. Service was good. read more

This has now become one of my favorite places for dinner in Santa Cruz. It was hopping last night with live music next door (playing outdoors) and a food truck in the parking lot. My daughter had been here before so she suggested we start with the Castelvetrano olives. They were very garlicky and we quickly finished them. My daughter ordered the mortadella and pistachio flatbread. The flatbread was a very pizza-like dough which I prefer. It came with a white cheese sauce rather than a tomato based red sauce. Unique choice of ingredients and excellent flavor. I would order this again. I ordered the burger. The pickled onions and house sauce made the burger special and set it apart from others. The side of fries were hot. They tasted great but were even better with a side of ranch. What I noticed about this place is that they may have similar menu items as other pubs or tap rooms, but they put their own spin on it. Everything had a unique flavor. I will be back. read more

Found this place because I saw good reviews and they have a large outside patio for my dog. However, I left feeling very disappointed. The prices are on the higher-end and there is absolutely nothing special about their items. The food was mediocre, not tasty at all for the price we paid. We got the hamachi and it was not worth paying over $30 for 4 pieces of thin hamachi. The vermicelli pork bowl was also bland and had barely any meat on it. You can get better food at regular Vietnamese restaurants -- there is nothing good about this fancy restaurant. Spent a lot of money but left feeling disappointed. read more

Its a family-friendly gastropub set in a large, open and casual space. It's adjacent to another brewery, coffee spot, and several wine tasting places. Expect the atmosphere here to be lively for sure. They have their own parking lot in the front along with a shared lot in the back. I don't drink beer much these days but I do enjoy the occasional cider. The Scrumpy Ginger Lime Cider is refreshing for a warm evening. The menu has many small bites and larger entrees. We ordered: * Smoked Ribs with Chipotle Beet and Mint Greek Yogurt sauces on the side. Excellent appetizer for sharing, and the meat was soft and seasoned without being super salty. * The Kid's menu did not have burgers, but man they have an awesome cheese pizza that's super soft and huge for sharing. The Grass Fed Burger is decent though its a bit too big for a toddler. * Roasted Sea Bass was a solid dish and came with mussels! Definitely Asian influences with the coconut curry and shredded veggies. I wished they added some sides like steamed rice. * I ordered the Steak Frites medium rare but it turned out a bit more pink and chewy than I'm used to. I probably should have gone with Medium. Good, thick-cut paprika fries. Definitely a fun place to dine, and our 3yo had a blast exploring and running around outside after dinner. read more

Arrived here on a Wednesday evening for dinner around 6:15 and got seated immediately, we just beat the rush. I ordered: - Fingerling Potatoes: the seasoning was nice and the bleu cheese on the side was a delicious addition, however, they were a little too hard for my liking. - Farmer's Market Salad: I added chicken to the large salad and satisfied my craving for a refreshing salad. Everything tasted fresh. The location of the restaurant is very nice and the parking was easy to navigate. Servers/bartenders were welcoming but it was hard to get their attention at times, however staff seemed short. Overall recommend the restaurant for anyone looking for a well-portioned, delicious meal. read more

I was really excited to try the new revamp of this place. But I'd recommend ordering food online and MAYBE it'll be ready by the time you come to pick it up. We made reservations, got here and got seated right away. But sat for a while. Didn't get acknowledged for about 20 min when someone dropped waters off at our table. No mention of someone being right with us or anything. We watched servers walk past us numerous times. The restaurant wasn't busy, so not really sure why the wait.. we will see if we stay long enough for them to take our order so we can enjoy the food.. TBD.. 40min later and we got a server to take our order. Let see how long it takes to get our food.. The family next to us was really friendly and when they waved down someone for themselves they told them that we had been waiting as well. As soon as the server was done with them they came to us and took our order. The food came out really quick and she was very apologetic. Thankfully the food was PHENOMENAL!! The Hamachi was mouth watering. The Boa buns were melt in your mouth delicious! I was so full and then my main dish came; Sake-Don. It was so good I couldntt stop eating it, despite the fact I was so full I was about to pop. I would highly recommend this place based on the food alone. Maybe come at a different time? I'm not sure what the waiting issue was but food definitely made up for it. read more

Been here before with the old menu, loved the old menu, but we still gave it a chance since we were already seated. We ordered: Wagyu Smash Burger: the taste was delightful and the only burger it seems on the menu now. Calamari: seemed like we got just pure fried jalapeños and a bit of calamari (maybe we got the end of the barrel. Pao Buns Pork & Shrimp: tried the Pao buns and they were refreshing and something different. We went on a Tuesday so they had specials for the Pao Buns and the Margaritas Regular margaritas: Mine was served so strong, I didn't even enjoy it or drink it, so not quite sure what happened there. The service was exceptional as always. But the food menu definitely changed....we loved the old menu... probably won't be returning. read more

A lot has changed since the last time I posted. New name and definitely new menu. Again, we were seated right away but this time it took awhile for a server to take our order although it looked like there were plenty of staff walking around. We ordered the calamari and the burger, had to add fries for an additional $5. The calamari was bland and seemed to have more jalapeños than calamari. The burger was actually pretty good. The fries were good but expected more for the additional $5 charge. We also had a beer and sake bomb. Overall, I don't think we will be back. Nice location, but service and food quality/selection will need to improve before we would try again. read more

Went here after seeing they were a "dog friendly" place, and we had our corgi who we just took to the dog beach. We found parking right away, but had a hard time finding this place after we parked. Once we found it, we were seated right away outside. I'm not sure if we went on a bad day, but none of the staff seemed like they wanted to be there. The host, who sat us, saw us with our dog or why she would sit us outside, and our server saw our dog as well, but never did they give her a bowl of water. All the other customers who were coming in with dogs were given a bowl of water. This pissed me off because why were we treated differently. The food was good as well as the drinks. The service was horrible and I'll rather go somewhere else. read more

Very limited menu for lunch. However, the food was delicious. We had the roasted tomato flatbread - looked good but did lack umami. Perhaps a little more balsamic glaze would hit the spot. Also had the ham and cheese sandwich. Sandwich was delicious - cheese was creamy - a little rich in taste but complemented the ham well. Service was ok. They were busy at lunch and servers were cordial, not friendly. We also ordered the ribs as an appetizer. Definitely was the best item we had! Full of flavor. read more

5/14/22 Zach, Coco and I had just finished a hike in the Santa Cruz area and we were looking for a place to get lunch at. We decided to try out West End Tap and Kitchen since they are also a dog friendly establishment. The restaurant resembles a huge warehouse. There is a parking lot, but the spaces feel small and it was packed when we got there. Luckily, we got in when someone was leaving. The restaurant was also really busy and the hostess told us it would be a 25 minute wait. I gave her my phone number and got a confirmatory text that would message us again when a table was ready. Thankfully, we only had to wait about 10 minutes when I was notified that our outside table was ready. It was really nice out and there was ample shade on the patio area. The waitress brought out waters for us and Coco and the menus. The restaurant as pretty busy so it took some time before our waitress came back to take our order. This is what we got: 1. Roast beef and cheddar flatbread (mine) 2. Burger (his) 3. Cross hatch beer (his) 4. Mai tai IPA (mine) The beers were the first to come out and very refreshing on that hot day. The food came out within the next 10 minutes. I thought the food was pretty good. Everything was made fresh and smelled delicious. The fries that came with the burger were crispy and not oily. Zach said that the burger was really good. I think if the flatbread had more meat I would have liked it better. It tasted good, but I feel like it was 80% bread and no meat. Overall, it was a nice spot for lunch. The food menu is pretty limited and a little on the pricey side, but I would come back again. read more

I've been here before the pandemic and had fond memories. I'm sad to update that those memories no longer reflect the present day. Came here for lunch and the menu was pretty limited. Everything seemed to be a saucy, salty interpretation of an Asian dish. 2/5 - nicoise salad. The salmon was good cause it wasn't drowning in sauce. But their soy sauce egg was like eating a block of sea salt. Usually, soy sauce eggs have a mild saltiness to them but this one was like eating straight up soy sauce...I don't know how they got it to be that salty. The lettuce was drowning in dressing, had to scrape it off as I ate. 2/5 - wagyu smash burger. I ordered it to be lettuce wrapped and the waiter said it would come on a bed of lettuce, which I was fine with. It came on a sad "cot" of lettuce instead of a bed. The lettuce was wilty and minimal. I also asked for it to be well done and the waiter was like "of course! They're all well done." And guess what, a lot of the middle was pink. I had to eat around the edges and give the rest to my husband because I didn't want to return it and wait another 30 minutes for my food. The okonomiyaki fries I had on the side were the winner. 2/5 - Korean BBQ chicken flat bread. This dish also fell flat. Really saucy, barely any chicken or cheese on the flat bread. Looking around, you can definitely tell the clientele they're going for, which is not me. So unfortunately, I don't think we'll be back. read more

This brewery is a little higher scale than the other breweries in the complex. Food prices around the 15-20$ range. I had the ribs and no 38 nitro stout, both were amazing! The ambiance is very comfortable. They have semi private booths with high walls that make you feel like you are alone with your company, regular tables and chairs, outdoor seating (tented and open) as well as bar seating. The rib appetizer presentation was beautiful! I loved the glaze, as well as the garnishes, with the plate. Ribs with a few beers were a perfect combo for my afternoon strolling about Santa Cruz. The bartender (preferred bar seating) was highly attentive and educated in the spirits offered. If you're looking for a slightly upscale setting in a brew tap house, I'd recommend you give West End a try! read more

The food at West End was awful - let me start there. The menu looked so promising, but everything was such a let down. Here's what we got: * Calamari - Really the only good thing we had to eat here and really the only reason for this one star review. I'd say the bowl was 1/2 calamari and 1/2 battered bits. Not sure if they added a bunch of battered bits to fill up the bowl, but at least the calamari was good. * House salad - It was whatever... salad. The greens were wilty and the dressing was non-existent. * Bianca Flatbread - Whoever came up with this should be ashamed and whoever cooked and prepped our flatbread should be fired. The dough was raw in the middle and the excessive amount of oil made this pizza soggy. It was unbearable. Did the kitchen look at this and taste it? It was actually disgusting. * Mushroom Flatbread - Is it me or is West End cutting costs and quality? I could have sworn the flatbreads used to be huge with a thick crispy crust... and now they're just pizza sauce on play dough. * Burger - something changed here too. Did West End get a new chef - like one fresh out of culinary school? The burger was dry and flavorless. All in all, West End has gone downhill, extremely downhill. Whoever is running the kitchen, coming up with recipes, or sourcing ingredients needs to pick a new career. read more

This is a must stop spot if you are in Santa Cruz! The food is so amazing. The live plants that are decorated around the restaurant make it so beautiful and vibrant. It feels like you're in a greenhouse. The service from staff was so nice and friendly. I absolutely would recommend the caulilini, if you like curry and ginger with a little bit of sweetness spice and crunch you have to try it. The Bianca pizza was immaculately flavored with spicy chili oil. The dough in the flatbread was so nice and airy. I can't wait to come back and try more items! read more

Had this place saved in my bookmarks for quite some time after seeing it on Yelp. I can't remember the exact food item it was that drew me in, but something looked good enough that had me thinking I needed to come here! Was in Santa Cruz on a drizzly day, had some time to kill so we decided to fill the time with food! A nice hearty burger on a wet day? Sounds good to us! Since it was our first time here, and my mom and I both wanted the burger, we opted to split it and get a flatbread so that we could try more of the menu. The current flatbreads on the menu when we were there must've been pretty new because there were no pictures of any of them on Yelp. Though it wasn't my first choice, we went with the chicken tomatillo flatbread. Liked the shaved chicken and that it had a good bit of garlic, but it could've used a little more flavor. We actually had quite a bit leftover, when I re-heated it at home I put some honey on it and that was a nice addition. Helped balance the richness of the cheese. Excited to see an updated flatbread menu next time because some of the older ones I came across in their Yelp images looked amazing. The burger was the real star of the show here. Cooked perfectly, super juicy, and had a nice tang from the sauce and pickled onions. After talking one bite of it I set it aside and ate the flatbread because I wanted to end on the deliciousness of the burger. The fries served with it were extremely crispy and tasted really good. They gave a huge portion of fries, even though we were sharing the plate it felt like we each had our own serving. Didn't get anything to drink here since our next stop was a distillery, but they had a nice selection of local wines. Didn't pay attention to the beer list. Only reason I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is because it's a bit pricey. The burger starts at $17-$18 and then anything you want to add on is at least an additional $2, even for cheese! Though it was a good burger, don't think it's worth $20. Would love to come back here, will just have to be on pay day. As for parking, if you don't know this area it can be a bit tricky and crowded. It's located in an area with a bunch of tasting rooms and small shops. The parking lot is pretty small and the front part is often full. If you go around by the new leaf grocery store, there's some parking that's actually along the side of west end and might be easier to maneuver. read more

Pro: - Outstanding menu with a lot of options! The burger, flat bread, and the salads are my favorite options here. Solid kids menu as we;;! - Great beer spot with TVs for football or other sporting events. A lot of space and great for big groups to get together for some craft beers - Excellent service - the hostess and servers were all very attentive and friendly. Food came out quick and did great in giving kids crayons. - Lots of parking as it is in a plaza with a coffee shop and grocery store Cons: - a bit on the pricey side ($17 for salad and $18 appetizers) - Slightly limited on the selection of beer. Would've wanted a bit more options for the type of beers (e.g. usually 1 type of stout, 1 lager, and etc) Overall - this place is solid and will come back again! read more

Lunch date with 3 friends. I had a bowl of mussels with a beer. Mussels were cooked correctly. Done enough without being turned into rubbery pencil erasers. The sauce was tasty. A combo of shallots, parsley, and some aromatics. Served with two large crunchy slices of toast. Enjoyable. Portion size enough for a light lunch. $22 for the bowl. Would return to eat some of the other menu offerings. read more

Cocktail menu is premade and Bartenders can't make custom cocktails, they plus a small lunch menu, we were disappointed on a Saturday afternoon.

Yes. Yes. Yes. This place is fantastic is so many ways! Not only is the restaurant gorgeous, but the food is super tasty! Was impressed by the menu selection and their seasonal specials. We had the salmon dish and were pleased by how it was a large portion, beautiful, and delicious! Additionally, the wagyu burger is probably one of the best burger I have had in Santa Cruz. Can't describe it in words, so just go and get it. Was so good I was tempted to get it again a few days after having it. The drinks are fun takes on traditional classics with an Asian twist. Had the yuzu drink and it was ever so delightful. The service was great do how busy it was. Their team balanced stopping by to clean tables/checking in wonderfully. Also was impressive how quickly food came out. Can't wait to come back to enjoy their lunch special in the future! read more

The menu is new so I wanted to write a review. I thought the food was slightly above average, as was the price. My favorite was the hamachi crudo and bluefin poke but $28 for poke is a bit excessive. The green beans were also more salty that we would've liked. Service was quite sparse, and we always had to find our waitress as they were tending to multiple tables not in the same vicinity. read more
