The Reef Grill - Santa Cruz

Exceptional slow service. Chile verde nachos came without agitation during the brunch. Cocktails were warm. Waiting for Poutine over an hour that never came. Great food and many potential but terrible execution.

Ordered the shrimps, poke shell and bbq short ribs. My question is, why does everything have a slight indication of cinnamon? Cole Slav was dry and tasteless. The potatoes had a strange light taste of cinnamon and the shrimps also. BBQ short ribs lubricated but well. Poke bowl was okay. Water was never filled again. literally 2 other tables and I got up to pay our tab at the front because the waitress came back forever to get our check. She was too distracted when her friends came in. Restaurant Decor was cool, but I would not recommend this place.

Great little place. Will be back to try a longer stay with some cocktails. Fun little place.
