Assembly Restaurant

It starts in the dirt and sun and rain on the farms and fields that surround Santa Cruz. To these ingredients we add the skill and passion of cooks, bakers and beverage lovers. We make good food served up by people who care deeply. And we ask you to join us. You may choose engage in the revelry at the long community tables anchoring the heart of the dining room, or seek out a quiet corner for reflection. Arriving alone you soon meet current or future friends. With family you linger over your meal; a subtle undercurrent of celebration permeates. Quality conversation is matched only by the wholesome, bountiful, freshly in season menu served in portions to satisfy one or share with many. Nourishment abounds; traditional preparation techniques are rediscovered and given a fresh twist. Slabs of house baked bread, large leafy salads, roasted vegetables, and hearty meats tantalize and satisfy. A complex glass of wine or intriguing draft of craft beer compliments the meal perfectly. You may reconnect over lunch with an old friend from out of town, spend afternoons working on your laptop, engage in long debates with total strangers, and bring the family for Sunday brunch. Assembly awaits you.
