Our colorful dining room is overlooked by an ancient Afghani jewelry piece named "The Dragon Master" that we often get asked about when guests visit. This piece dates back to 4000 BC with artistic influences from countries all along The Silk Road and was discovered in Afghanistan, the country at the heart of this trade route. : @quistwe . . .... . . #downtownsantacruz #santacruz #santacruzlife #santacruzfoodie #mediterraneanfood #afghanfood #santacruzeats #patiodining #dragonmaster #diningroom #silkroad #afghanistan #afghanijewelry #finedining #laili See more
