Marufuku Ramen - (Near San Francisco, CA)

Hyunjun Eo ​You can’t really visit the Santa Cruz Wharf without hitting up Stagnaro Bros at least once. We stopped in for a lunch with a view, and honestly, it hit the spot. It’s definitely a busy, touristy spot, but the seafood quality backs it up. ​Here’s the breakdown of what we ordered: ​Clam Chowder Bread Bowl: This is pretty much mandatory here. The sourdough was fresh with that perfect crust (didnt get soggy too fast), and the chowder was creamy and full of clams. Perfect comfort food, especially with the sea breeze coming through the window. ​Coconut Shrimp: These were a highlight. Super crunchy on the outside and the shrimp inside wasnt rubbery. The sweet chili sauce on the side is standard, but pairs perfectly. ​Fish & Chips(Kids menu): A solid classic. The batter wasnt too thick or oily—it had a nice crisp to it. I appreciate that they serve the thicker steak fries instead of the skinny ones; they hold up better with the malt vinegar. ​Seafood Alfredo(Holiday Special): We decided to switch it up with a pasta dish (Scallop Alfredo). It is rich. Very creamy and cheesy. The scallops were sweet and tender, and the peas added a nice little pop of sweetness, but it’s definitely a heavy dish. Good for sharing if you want to save room for dessert. ​The Vibe: We got a table right in the sun, which was amazing. It’s casual dining—you get your sauces in plastic cups and it’s a bit loud—but that’s part of the charm. The service was quick considering how packed the place gets. ​Verdict: If you want fancy fine dining, this isnt it. But if you want fresh seafood, a cold drink, and a view of the ocean while you eat, Stagnaro’s is still the king of the wharf. Will definitely be back for that bread bowl.

Anupriya Pattabhiraman Amazing Experience! Food quality, customer service, and taste are all top-notch. We visited this place while in Anaheim for a conference and ended up coming back four times in just six days — that’s how much we loved it! The tea is excellent, and the staff went above and beyond to customize dishes based on our preferences. We felt truly welcomed and cared for. Special mention to Brab and Karan who always served us with a smile and were very friendly. Prabh and Karan made exceptional chai for us. Chef Preet who made our day with finger licking food, delicious food. We were extremely happy with our experience and will definitely visit again whenever we’re in the area. Highly recommend to anyone looking for delicious, homely food with superb taste.

Patty Clavijo My boyfriend and I past through Petaluma last night and picked this restaurant for its reviews and great looking food and we were not disappointed. Christine was our amazing serveur. She gave up top notch care and attention plus she’s super sweet. We had the meatballs and Fog ( forgot the rest) pizza. Very delicious !

TheBayArea.831 Delicious food. We tried to make reservations but our App wasnt working properly. There was a 40min wait. We used that time to walk around the shopping center. Staff was very friendly and we felt welcome upon arriving inside. The decor is nice and has a romantic vibe to it. They have indoor and outdoor seating. The cheescakes are amazing. We took a slice to go. Our meal was delicious, plenty of leftovers.

Samantha Sekula-Nguyen This place is a must eat. We ate there the first time after hiking Pinnacles national park in July 2018 and thought the food just tasted better because we were hungry and burnt out. But we have returned every single time were near the Monterey/Pinnacles area and its just as amazing. By far the best steaks, to the point my children and parents talk about it from the Eastern Coast and recommend it to friends visiting nearby. We are seasoned travelers and this by far was some of the beat steak weve had hands down. Were planning our next trip back east around whether we can return to 19th Hole or not. Try it, the beef wont disappoint
