Marco's Cafe - LOTUS

I really like this place. My motorcycle isn't receiving the same level of attention that it usually gets back home in the Bay Area, where we have the Santa Cruz mountains...

The only highlight of this restaurant is the live music. The food takes about an hour to arrive, and when it does, the pizza is hard and cold.

I apologize for being negative, but my experience here was quite disappointing. We ordered a full combo pizza for $26, and the ingredients were minimal. The pizza lacked seasoning and flavor...

We all sampled various dishes from the menu, and they were all excellent. One of my friends ordered the potato pesto, which I initially thought was a strange combination, but it turned out to be really tasty. We also shared a generous spinach salad with feta and onions that was wonderful; it was plenty for four people. The only downsides were that seating is exclusively outdoors. They do have misters, and the terrace is shaded, which made it comfortable despite the heat reaching 100°F today. It was a bit warm for my liking, but overall manageable. Another drawback was the limit of one refill on iced tea. While the tea was freshly brewed and very good, having unlimited refills would have enhanced the dining experience. Overall, I was very pleased with my visit to the restaurant and will definitely return!
