From farm-to-table delicacies to an unfathomable wine list, this spot is as popular for a business lunch as it is for a 5-course sit down dinner.

A large patio with sweeping views of the Santa Cruz mountains provides the perfect backdrop for an indulgent and inventive meal inspired by the history and culture of the local region.
