Fun concept where the servers are dressed up as pilots and stewards/stewardesses. Everything comes in a flight of 3, the food, drinks, and desserts so you can try a bit of everything. Owner is a former SJ sharks player from Sweden!

A super casual place where the locals hang out! Amazing wood-fired pizza, great beer selection, and outside bocci-ball courts. Pets and kids very welcomed. Bring warm clothes, because most of the seating is outdoors!

Enoteca La Storia
416 N Santa Cruz AveOur favorite restaurant! It has to be experienced because it's impossible to describe. Located in the hippie town of Ben Lomond, white table cloth dining where you can dress up or go in your sweats. AMAZING food and drink as well as a beer garden and live entertainment. Lots of cool local art on the walls and on a nice night you can dine outside in a redwood grove!
