    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.
