Went here thanks to a recommendation, and it was definitely worth it! The food was delicious and fresh, the staff were EXTREMELY friendly, and the place had nice music and a warm atmosphere. The name of this place is quite apt too, because the chocolate desserts were absolutely amazing.

Back to this amazing place! We ordered the mousse chocolate cake with berries and it was so good! Laurie our server was such an amazing person! She recommended few things to us and all was perfection! She was friendly and cheerful and actually made me keen to try the cake by just describing its ingredients. Chocolate is always a fav spot! My mom loved it too!!

Cocholate offers a fantastic Italian dining experience in Santa Cruz. Our server, Sheima, was exceptionally friendly and helpful with menu suggestions. The spiced salmon with black beans was delicious and perfectly seasoned. Don’t skip their desserts—they are a perfect finish to a great meal. Highly recommended!

The cheese pots were very tasty and more than enough for two to share. The Hot Chocolates were simply delicious. The service was prompt, friendly, and attentive.

They just about lost me at the name. I don’t really eat chocolate and I just assumed that considering their name is was gonna be slim pickins for my get together with old friends, but it was their choice, not mine.
They seat us among the houseplants out front and I felt like a kid hiding from the adults perambulating on what used to be the Pacific Garden Mall. The locals bitch about how much has changed, but what I find amazing about Santa Cruz, is how many things have stayed the same.
Some changes however are not bad and Chocolate Restaurant is one of those happy occasions!
I get this chicken pie dish that is a revelation in the pie department. Completely different than I’m used to and one of the best meat pies I’ve ever had. The consistency is like a regular pot pie got together with a quiche and they had a love baby. I know, it’s hard to describe, but it’s good, even remarkable.
My friends share a dessert that contains a lady finger and chocolate and looks positively obscene, I mean really.
Add all this to the fact that the bathroom is in Bookshop Ssnta Cruz, which is like a dragon having to pass through a dragon hoard on its way to the rest room… your friends might wonder where you disappeared off to.
The place ain’t cheap, but it’s fun and they obviously put a lot of thought into the menu and the experience. I wouldn’t put it on my weekly list, it’s too expensive, but I’d bring out of town guests and save it for special occasions.

Great place for dinner in downtown Santa Cruz! I’m gluten free and found a lot of tasty options on the menu. The gluten free bread was soft and served warm. Definitely recommend!

I’m honestly still shaken up writing this review. My family made a reservation here last night to celebrate my sisters birthday. We were a party of 8 plus my 15 month old daughter. We were seated inside and got comfortable, my daughter was in her stroller happy as a clam sitting next to my husband. We all ordered our food and drinks and not 10 minutes after we arrived our waiter came up to my daughter, sitting quietly smiling in her stroller and got down in her face and started by saying “Hi are you learning to talk?” And then proceeded to explain that she needed to be quiet because there are other customers. I think everyone at our table just froze completely confused on what prompted this as she was not being loud in the slightest. At this point we all look at each other and just leave. We are not going to support a business that shames children for simply existing. On top of that do not speak to my daughter as if she has done something wrong, if you have a problem you can talk to me directly. As we were all making our way out my mom checked in with the other tables around us to make sure we didn’t disturb anyone and all of the other patrons were equally as confused as us as to what the issue was, some even quite offended on our behalf. Since having this experience last night after just a quick scroll through here I can see that they are known for their lack of hospitality especially with children. It’s very sad to read the other experiences people have had to endure at this establishment so I hope that my experience can save someone else the disappointment at their complete lack of respect, customer service and human decency.

Hot chocolates are a must try. Their quiches are the best I have ever had and I had a lot lol. Food is always fresh and flavorful. You must stop if you are in town. You won’t regret it.

Great place! Wife and I came here on a Wednesday night for a date. Not very busy and the outdoor patio was very nice. We just got desert and a few drinks and everything was amazing! Great service and great food. We had the chocolate martini and OMG it was good. I also had a chocolate mint mojito and it was great too. Very fresh ingredients! We will be back.

Yuuuuuum!!! Talk about a naughty dinner! We had the artichoke cheese dip which comes with amazing fresh bread and no skimping on the artichoke hearts. Then we had the rolled cheese dish with a salad, also very rich but the salad was a good call with the dish; I wouldn’t recommend the same dish but labeled “for two”… I think I would have been all dairy’d out after that. The salad is a must. For desert we had the rose truffle which had delicious white chocolate and a very strong rose flavor. I love rose but its not something I would get twice. We also got the banana cream which was surprisingly light and airy and had an interesting texture but yummy crust. And ofc we had to get a hot chocolate. They call it hot chocolate but I think its closer to a drinking chocolate imo. I went for the sofia and it was a perfect complement to the entire night! Most people get the hot chocolates for desert but I sipped mine throughout and I thought it went well with our cheesy meal. Will definitely be going back and trying more of the deserts and drinks! The patio had a nice homey vibe and the host was really friendly and welcoming. Love this place and can’t wait to get back!
