Bistro Moulin - (Near Monterey, CA)

Jake Byman We loved Oswald. We had heard it referenced as a classic spot in Santa Cruz, so it had been on our list for a while. The burger was, easily, the best burger Ive had in Santa Cruz. They cooked it perfectly medium rare, and the add-ons to the burger were wonderful. The Dungeness crab was solid as well (though in my opinion a bit overpriced at $36 for the quantity). Would definitely recommend as a whole!

Dawne Morris One of the best fine-dining experiences I’ve had in a long time, Michelin star restaurants included. I took my husband here for his 49th birthday, and Juniper and Ivy exceeded every expectation. Every dish just kept getting better, starting with an unforgettable amuse bouche and ending with an otherworldly dessert. The wagyu carpaccio was hands-down the best I’ve ever had, and the wagyu sirloin and seafood pasta were flawless. Incredible service, thoughtful cocktails, and a beautiful industrial-chic space that feels warm and inviting. Highly recommend. Everyone should eat here at least once. We will be back!

Jeffrey Sparrow This place is fantastic. The service is impeccable. The food is outstanding. No wonder this place has been around for so long. Well worth the money and time . Just check out how thick this bone in prim rib is on my plate.

Dyan Ferraris Kandel We came here on a packed evening, and even though the restaurant was completely full, the service was attentive and thoughtful the entire time. The staff made us feel genuinely cared for and even split our shared pasta onto separate plates without us asking (see photo!). The food was delicious across the board. The squid ink pasta had deep, rich flavors without being fishy at all. I had a Malbec that paired beautifully with the meal, and it was just as good as the food. We finished with tiramisu, which was light, creamy, and sweet. All the servers were warm and friendly, and the atmosphere was buzzing with regulars, families, and tech folks in town for an event. It was lively and loud in a fun, energetic way that made the whole experience feel joyful. Highly recommend.

Azadeh Nematzadeh We have been wanting to come here. The slanted door cook book was game changer for us. And we loved the chef. We finally made it for lunch on Sunday. We really enjoyed everything and it was as perfect as we expected. Many pescaterian options. Drinks, coffee and dessert were amazing as well.

Aileen V Came here for my sisters bridal shower dinner. There was 14 of us. It’s such a beautiful place. Especially in the evening. We sat outside which is so spacious. At night the trees light up and it’s even prettier. Our server Jay was awesome. He made sure to check up on us constantly and got our order and food at a decent amount of time. The food was delicious!!! We ordered appetizers, pastas, steak and dessert. And it was all amazing. Reservation process was easy and even though I had to change the amount of people a few times they were super nice every time I called to change it or responded quick on the Open table app. Totally recommend this restaurant for special occasions.
