Makai Island Kitchen & Groggery

Santa Cruz, California, United States

Opened in May of 2020, Makai Island Kitchen and Groggery on the Santa Cruz Wharf features what owner Peter Drobac describes as Hawaiian food and beyond, with flavors that draw on influences from Chinese, Thai, and Japanese cuisine.

Housed in the same space that was previously occupied by Splash.

The food, décor, and music are all themed toward a tiki bar kind of atmosphere with an upscale Pan-Asian menu.

Great food, great drinks - and I love the revolving floor so everyone gets the window. Mai tai glass and stolen swizzles.
