Check, Please! Bay Area, season 19, episode 2, airs Thursday, April 25, at 7:30 pm, on KQED 9. See other television airtimes. Check, Please! Bay Area makes more waves in the Monterey Bay Area! Located next to Soquel Creek in Capitola, the historic Shadowbrook serves up their signature Pacific Rim salmon and prime rib alongside an extensive and locally-focused wine list, all set in rustic yet undeniably classy quarters. Then, with unique favorites like buttery roasted bone marrow, Villa Azteca brings an unexpected twist to Mexican cuisine in Salinas — alongside classics like chile relleno and chilaquiles. Finally, just off of Lighthouse Avenue, Wild Fish in Pacific Grove dishes up organic bistro fare — from ling cod katsu to bouillabaisse — that’s locally fished, farmed, and foraged. Reporter Cecilia Phillips rounds out this week’s episode with a visit to Gizdich Ranch in Watsonville for a taste of its jams, fruit picking, and famous seasonal pies.

Co-owners, Conrado Quevedo and Antonia Brackett, fulfilled their dream of owning a restaurant when they purchased Crusco’s about a year ago from Celeste and Gilbert Lusher. Conrado has been in the restaurant business for forty years. He worked his way up from dishwasher to chef and has been employed in southern California’s and the Bay Area’s fine dining restaurants. Antonia, being from this region, had moved away and decided to return. She invited Conrado to come for a vacation and he knew in his heart of hearts this was the place he wanted to fulfill his dream. Although he continues to use some of the menu items from the previous owner’s menu, he also has incorporated dishes he prepared from places he has worked coast to coast. Their polenta is prepared from a family recipe. If you eat lunch there, the Shrimp Pomodoro Pasta seems to be their favorite offering as judged by their customers. The favorite dinner dishes are Calamari as an appetizer, Portabella Penne, and Seafood Fettuccini. The Stuffed Chicken Breast is also very popular. The restaurant itself seats forty-eight and there is room in the back for a banquet seating of up to thirty. I was pleased to see that their wine menu included eleven local vintners and a couple of Italian selections. They also have a beer menu, which features an IPA and various cold and hot beverages. The food menu features a soup de jour, five appetizers and five salads both large and small portions, five pastas, two fish, two chicken, one lamb and three steak choices. A dish to fit every palate! They treat their staff of nine like family. Mateo Arce, the previous owner’s grandson, is their head server alongside Kylee. Liz is another server and Brandon is in training. Antonia also works the front of the house. The back of the house contains Conrado, his sous chef Carlos, and Randy and Ann who handle the cleaning. They also employ Michael, a jack of all trades and master of all who is their general helper. The decor is very Italian complete with stone walls, columns draped with vines that run the length of the walls below the ceiling and small twinkle lights. Italian prints adorn the walls all reminiscent of a villa on a hillside. I ordered the Spaghetti and Meatballs since I wanted to get a flavor of the house made sauce. My meal included four nice-sized meatballs that were very tender and packed with fresh herbs which they grow, and a mound of melted grated cheese on top. The noodles were cooked thoroughly, which I prefer, and not served al dente. The sauce was thin with chunks of tomato and a hint of spice which was not pronounced until after you swallowed. Focaccia bread slices are served with a balsamic and olive oil mixture. Reservations are recommended.
