California Central Coast Restaurant Reviews

The California Central Coast is beautiful, and yet we don’t explore it enough. However, when we have the time, we like making our way to or from LA by driving on 1 or 101 – and then, of course, we have to stop to eat. The following are my few (but hopefully growing) reviews of restaurants in the area between Santa Cruz and Santa Barbara, inclusively.
