Named after one of the owner's daughters, this cozy restaurant is a local favorite and is located near the boardwalk and the University of California Santa Cruz. The restaurant prides itself in using only the freshest seasonal local organic produce from local farms for its delicious and sophisticated California menu. The wine list features mostly California wines, but has a few Italian wines also. Tuesday nights offer live music, and Friday and Saturday nights feature jazz vocalists.
