As its name suggests, there are all kinds of decadent chocolate desserts and cocktails at Chocolate the restaurant, but this farm-to-fork local favorite is much more than a dessert spot. Everything is prepared simply and with local organic ingredients whenever possible. Open in downtown Santa Cruz since 1999, options include three kinds of chicken mole and their signature Pasta Rosettes. Many entrées and desserts are gluten free! Cocktails feature Santa Cruz-based distilleries, including Venus Spirits. Check out their extensive cocktkail menu. A party room for your special celebration is available, with seating and menu options to suit the occasion.
