"I must say that I had no great expectations before eating in Persephone after exploring many of the local restaurants, I had difficulty finding one that is just a little special... but that was it. Going inside was pleasant to see a clean, well-designed interior with simple, tasteful decor. We were greeted with a smile and the service was timely but not hastened. And then the food... well it far exceeded my expectations. It was beautifully designed and tasted amazing. Nothing was overcrowded and the desserts were not too sweet.. I definitely come back."

"We decided to dine at Ming's based on a recommendation from a couple we had just met at Golden Fu Wah. We had been ignored at Golden Fu Wah, so we left and followed the couple to Ming's. We had a fantastic lunch experience at Ming's. We were greeted promptly and seated right away. The menu offered a wide variety of options, including many lunch specials. We ordered two different lunch combos, which came with hot and sour soup that was delicious. The entrees were presented on unique and beautiful plates. We both enjoyed the sweet and sour chicken and fried rice. My partner's combo also included salmon chicken and a crispy egg roll, which he liked. My combo featured beef with broccoli and fried prawns, both of which were delicious. Even our iced tea was good. The service was top-notch and attentive. We will definitely return to Ming's and have no plans of ever going back to Golden Fu Wah."

"I hadn?t been in a number of years, my recollection was good not great. However I?ve been twice in about the past six weeks and it has been excellent. Everyone is friendly and having a good time, and the fried whitefish in sage butter over risotto is stellar. Homemade bread to boot. Definitely going to start coming here with some frequency!"

"Service was impeccable, fast and friendly. The drinks were cold, fresh and at the point. The food was fast and delicious. Overall a great experience and always a firm spot. Your parking is terrible, but I doubt they can fix it. Apart from their parking situation, this is a great place for a nice dinner."

"Ended my day trip to Santa cruz at East End Gastropub! Started with the braised beef bao buns and the razzle dazzle cocktail. The buns were very soft and fluffy and the beef was very tender. However before I could even fully bite it, the folded part of the bun broke from the sogginess and the meat fell out. I wish it was a little less soggy and I wish there was a little more of an acidic factor to break through the weight of the bun and meat arugula wasn't quite enough . The razzle dazzle not pictured was bright and refreshing, however frothing particularly special. Marrakesh chicken: Really good. The meat was juicy and the lemon yogurt sauce paired really well with the flavors on the plate. Really solid dish 5/5 California Halibut: Unfortunately my halibut was overcooked : Although i didn't take a picture, the inside was very dry and made for a weird mouthfeel because it had to be chewed a lot more. The avocado crema was good and the corn salsa was very summery 3/5 because of the fish . Fries: Now THIS was the star of the show. My other two friends got entrees with fries and these were probably the best fries I've ever had. I believe they were beer battered, but the fry on them was fantastic. They weren't oily, they stayed crispy through the entire meal, and they were perfectly salted. I cannot stress enough how good the fries were 6/5!!! We didn't have to wait too long for the food and our server was very helpful. I really liked the interior and the volume wasn't too loud. Would come back for the fries :"
