    Another outstanding experience at H&L. Service was on point and food was excellent. Love how the menu changes frequently, and the great care that goes into each new creation. Salmon was delectable, the short rib dish was devine, and of course the muscles were (and always are) the bomb! Thank you H&L for giving Santa Cruz a big city culinary experience, with local town charm. Shout out to Bridgette, Nate, & Samantha for making us feel like VIPs.

    What a fun place! We couldn't really figure out where the hostess stand was, but a very friendly waitress led us to her favorite booth, which was fantastic - technically outside but plenty warm from the heaters in the ceiling. We got three dishes to share, and each was large and delicious. The cocktails we wanted weren't available, but our wonderful waiter took the initiative to check with the bartender to find a good replacement.
