East End Gastropub in Capitola

The elote-spiced chicken wings were crisp with lots of flavor, the special of the day provided tender, flavorful meat with an amazing savory baked bread pudding-style side, and both the espresso martini and peanut-chocolate dessert were perfect.

I used to absolutely love this place. I just went here for my birthday and it was truly terrible. I got the squid ink pappardelle and it was completely inedible. The pasta was beyond over cooked. It turned into a complete mess of mush. You couldn’t distinguish a single noodle. The calamari was incredibly tough, chewy, and overcooked. The chorizo was the only thing edible on the plate. At the price you pay for this food I expected to at least be able to eat it. If I hadn’t been there with a group of friends I would have instantly returned the food. The worst pasta I have ever had. My partner also got a pear salad which was full of underripe pears (and the core) that were also inedible.The only good thing about this experience was the server who was kind and attentive. A deeply disappointing experience especially for a birthday dinner.

This is quite a gem out of no where. That food was amazing. The staff were excellent...Definitely recommend the Bianca pizza, I had some garlic and Corn add additional and its so damn brilliant... Definitely will visit again.

One of our favorite spots! Love the menu - I am pescatarian and it has great seafood/vegetarian dishes as well as various options for my husband who definitely eats meat! He loves the pork boa buns and recently had the fried chicken which he loved.We typically sit at the bar and get great service but when they are busy and if we sit at a table we notice its a bit slower.

Great food and great service! Lots of vegetarian options. Easy parking and easy to find the restaurant. Definitely a hidden gem.

The watermelon salad was excellent! One of the most unique salads I’ve ever tasted! I also ordered a side of cornbread. For $8 I expected more than one thick slice of cornbread… until I took a bite. Best I’ve ever had! I’d gladly pay $8 again for one slice of that cornbread!Service was good, but not outstanding. My salad arrived before my silverware. Having spent 10 years of my youth as a server in different fine dining restaurants, and the daughter of a chef, attention to detail matters to me. But back to the watermelon salad: it was a visual work of art as well as a complete palate pleaser! Go try it before it is rotated off their fabulous seasonal menu! Cheers!

Holy mackerel was this good! The chili chicken wings, house salad, and grilled oysters were well worth the price, delicious, and generously portioned.-Dont shoot the grilled oysters. Theres a lot of delicious butter but itll overwhelm the palate. Just fork out the oyster instead and sip the butter of you really want.- One of the best salads Ive ever had. Incredibly generously portioned, every bite is different. Ask for pumpkin brittle extra on the side, Ive never had anything else quite like it and it makes a phenomenal dessert.Plus great service despite a busy house. Overall awesome!

When we first walked in and saw the menu prices as were being seated, Im not gonna lie -- we both were wondering if we should politely apologize and get up and leave. But that feels too awkward and the people were REALLY friendly and attentive so we didnt get a chance to discuss it. But with Happy Hour pricing, 4 people ate & drank for just under $50 ($47.96, not including tip).The price value was on point because the pizzas we chose to order may look plain but were very good -- very tasty! The happy hour pepperoni was only $10 and our Salame Rosa pizza had a bechamel sauce that was indeed tasty.They kept our drinks refilled without even having to ask -- and I personally was THIRSTY on a travel day.The design of the place was quite unique with interesting stylistic accent pieces (enough that I even took some pics of some of them).Bathrooms were located at the back of the lower section, under the balcony area and were very clean.Would definitely recommend trying this place out!

Amazing. One of the two best fried chicken Ive had in town! The brunch was all perfect. They made these strawberry cakes that were caramelized on the outside perfectly. The eggs were cooked perfectly. Their fried potatoes were crispy. I love coming here! Oh and the mimosas were priced well!! We will be back, very soon!

Really great meal! Staff was friendly. Outdoor seating available thats dog friendly!The only thing I would mention is that they should add veggies to their plate to make it more well rounded but great anyway.
