Makai Island Kitchen & Groggery - Santa Cruz (CA)

5 /5 Vente Negra: I had the coconut shrimp here and it was perfectly crispy and delicious. The ahi poke bowl was honestly one of the best I’ve ever had — so fresh and flavorful! The view and atmosphere really stood out to me, too. With the tasty cocktails and the whole vibe, I genuinely felt like I was soaking in the tropical warmth of Hawaii. Definitely a great spot to relax and enjoy good food!

5 /5 Jen Conrad: Love this place! The drinks are phenomenal, the food is delicious, good options for vegan/vegatarian, nice service and great atmosphere. Fun drinks on a secret menu treasure map. Love the theme and great Hawaiian food. Only thing is, they frequently run out of certain menu items due to high demand. So you cant always get exactly what you want, but when everythings so good, you always have options.

5 /5 Tania España: I absolutely loved this place. The food is full of flavor, super fresh, and very cultural you can taste the quality in every bite. The seasonings, the sauces, everything felt authentic and made with care. The atmosphere is fun and welcoming, and the service was great too. Definitely coming back! Laura was amazing.
