Hindquarter Bar & Grille -Food CA (Near Santa Cruz)

Willy O This was by far one of the best places Ive had a meal at in a few years in all honesty. Wow The meat dish were awesome and the suggestion by the waiter was phenomenal. Lamb was amazing as well. I will make it back to California again. Just to eat here one day.

Melissa Eisner Everyone raves about Zuni Cafe, and while it hit many high notes for me, there were one or two niggles that kept me from giving 5 stars. Obviously the star of the show was the roast chicken and salad, and it’s way more than two of us could eat. Great flavor and crispy skin, hit loads of high notes. We also got the little gems salad and the dressing was tangy and creamy, with the hazelnuts it was super balanced. Nice selection of wines by the glass. The cons? Our table was right on the window which meant we were super cold as there isn’t much insulation. And then because of being right on the window we were also directly facing another table that was almost on top of us. No real privacy. All around a great meal but would definitely find different seats next time.

María Ger I live less than a block away from Cicada and tonight as I was walking towards another restaurant I walked by Cicada. I wasnt dressed for the occasion, but I asked anyway if I could have dinner and they were super nice. They let me in and I was transported to 1920s. I was speechless, everyone inside was super super dressed up, women wearing their beautiful dress, gentlemen wearing a suit, the music, the singers... I cant describe how I felt this place. I had dinner by myself, I enjoyed the music, the vibe, but overall how they can transport back in time. Thank you for such a beautiful experience!! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ Ill be back!!

The Nicols Team Great dining experience - impeccable service. If you appreciate quality and fresh food you should check this place out. I loved that it offered a casual dining atmosphere yet quality wasn’t compromised. Thoroughly enjoyed everything from the deviled eggs to the New York steak! I have to say the scallops were my favorite though … the Singapore sling is an amazing cocktail in an tiki mug and I don’t really even like gin! And the coffee profiteroles delicious - they just need to add some seasoning berries lol Wonderful service, professional staff, great wine list - we will definitely be back!

Harry Higgins Every visit here is a wonderful experience thanks to the consistently great food and attentive service. The restaurant has a beautiful and inviting atmosphere, and the second floor adds a nice touch to the overall vibe. Their oysters are absolutely delicious and always feel fresh. Being located downtown, parking can be a bit challenging, but the quality of the experience more than makes up for it. Highly recommended.

KG This is my second time visiting this adorable restaurant and honestly, I love it even more now. The courtyard is sooo cute! The vines, the greenery, the fountain , it’s a whole mood! It feels like a tucked-away garden you never want to leave. We came for lunch before wine tasting and had such a lovely experience. Kennedy was our server and she was great, warm, attentive, and made us feel so welcome. I ordered their Kale Caesar salad and it was not your typical Caesar but in the best way. It had raisins, red onion, crushed pistachios and the dressing had these subtle mustard seeds that gave it this bright, slightly tangy pop. It’s their unique take on a Caesar and I’m officially obsessed. I’m definitely going to try to replicate this at home! My boyfriend ordered the soup and sandwich, and once I tried a spoonful of the soup, I instantly ordered a cup of my own. It was the corn and shishito pepper soup, velvety, a little smoky, and had just the right kick without being overly spicy. So, so good! Their menu changes seasonally, and since they are a true farm-to-table restaurant, the best way to see what’s currently offered is to check their website. If you’re looking for a perfect lunch spot in Paso, especially before wine tasting, definitely give them a visit. It’s charming, delicious, and just feels good to be there.
