TGI Friday's - Santa Cruz

Upon entering the restaurant, we were greeted and welcomed with hospitality. The whole staff was friendly and it had an ambiance that made you really hungry. We ordered a chipotle salad which was very delicious. I then ordered a medium rare, 8oz prime rib steak with peppercorn sauce and cheddar and cheese mashed potatoes. And man was I hyped up because it looked a tad closer to being a 9oz steak--and not only was the size favorable, but the taste and texture justified its price. They got the doneness right and I was very happy because I was getting my money's worth.

I treated my family to TGIF's on Solenad last week, and was quite disappointed. They got our order wrong, the dining setting and the ambiance was clearly not for a family night out, and the taste and serving size of the food does not justify it's expensiveness.One would think that perhaps this is a place for friends and buddies to go to, but I can't quite agree. The bartender was unprofessional, the drinks are overpriced, and the overall feel of the place is simply chaotic. I give three stars since the food was okay.

From Wakeboarding, we decided to have a lunch from tiring experience. A pricey restaurant i must say but the food and service is superb! this is the place where i had the best milkshake ever! i will definitely come back!

We decided to have a late dinner( past nine pm) and everyone is not really that satisfied Of what we have eaten...We just ordered calamari salad, shrimp mango quesadillas, club sandwiches and French fries. I would say it's pretty ordinary. Service is good, polite and friendly.. I would be happy to come and dine again, but, next time, I willl try to go Melbourne, Australia.

My boyfriend and I celebrated our monthsary last September here. We ordered Ultimate Bourbon BBQ Ribs, Beef Queso Dip and a glass of watermelon. For the Ultimate Bourbon BBQ Ribs, it's not really the best ribs I've ever tasted but i think it's fine. My boyfriend said that it would have been better if they have sauce or something relevant. I really love the corn cob and rice though. Beef Queso Dip is the bomb! I think it is best with their drinks or just as it is (an appetizer).One of the best I've tasted so far. Basically, the ambiance of this restaurant is conducive for group celebrations may it be for family gatherings, company dinner out and group celebrations of all sorts since it not only offers food but also various drinks (alcoholic, cocktails, juices and shakes as well). I highly recommended this restaurant for this kind of group.
