Persephone

Quaint spot perched overlooking the trees out back (never mind the road in front). Food was very good, and the staff is terrific.

We went for the first time ever yesterday and LOVED it!

I couldn’t take a picture of everything we ordered because I was too excited to eat but here’s the breakdown:

Overall Experience
-Staff are sweet and friendly
-Plenty of parking around the restaurant
-We sat outdoors and had a beautiful view of the woods below but there’s also indoor seating

What we ordered (the menu changes!)
-Budino with Roasted Grapes: excellent
-Caesar Salad: great dressing
-House Made Sourdough Focaccia: standard delicious focaccia but the hummus stole the show
-Boneless Beef Shortrib: pictured below and it was amazing. I loved every bite and even the broccolini was addicting
-Fogline Farm Stuffed Chicken with Spaetzle: my partner ordered this meal and I only got ONE, albeit delicious, bite since he ate it so fast and didn’t share
-Brownie ala Mode: I don’t even like chocolate but loved this
-Seasonal Sorbet Trio: Incredible. The kiwi flavor was outstanding as it had the perfect balance between the sweetness, and tangy tartness of an actual kiwi

We’ll be back, see you then!

First time and we loved the cozy atmosphere. Staff was great and very engaged. Food was on point. Different choices which was refreshing. Huge wine list. Definitely a thumbs up! The Clicks

Fine dining and Santa Cruz don't usual go hand in hand, but Persephone might just change that. Saying the food was amazing is an understatement. Loved the food, loved the service, looking forward to going back.
