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

I loved every biteand even the broccolini was addicting -Fogline Farm Stuffed Chicken with Spaetzle: my partner ordered this meal and I only gotONE, albeit delicious, bite since he ate it so fast and didn?t share -Brownie ala Mode: I don?t even like chocolate but lovedthis -Seasonal Sorbet Trio: Incredible. The kiwi flavor was outstanding as it had the perfect balance between the sweetness, andtangy tartness of an actual kiwi We?ll be back, see you then! Read more

This is the biggest disappointment that I have had in the last two years. This can not be a 4.6 restaurant. Beef was overcooked... and dry. Flavorless. The ravioli was ok. The only thing good was the potatoes. Please do not come to this place. Service is goodthough. It?s way to expensive for what you are going to receive. Read more
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. Read more
Each plate was made at the restaurant by the chef-owners, absolutely fresh and a taste explosion. The ?Beet Cured Gravlax Fresh... wild King salmon filet, beet cured, thinly sliced and served with favetta, soft boiled quail egg, scallions, big sur sea salt,and Wild Poppies olive oil. (Salmon served raw)? was amazing and I took on to go after lunch. The outside seating is lovely,great ventilation and so much greenery and flowers. We thoroughly enjoyed our afternoon and appreciated the wonderful service byTony! Thank you! Read more
Amazing experience! Great staff, fantastic food (chicken and cheese homemade raviolis served with mushrooms and an artichoke... cream + pana cotta blueberries & peach!) We?ll come back for sure ! Thanks Read more
Quaint spot perched overlooking the trees out back (never mind the road in front). Food was very good, and the staff is... terrific. Read more
