Golden State Menu
Our Menus
SoCal is all about fresh & modern Southern Californian ‘share-style’ street food, packed with Latin American spices alongside ‘low’n’slow’ smoked meats, house-made sauces and freshly indulgent sides.
The food and drinks are a reflection of what is commonly found along HWY 101. Our Head Chef Joel Doyle alongside Applejack Culinary Director Patrick Friesen have collaborated on a fresh new menu direction featuring NEW tacos, shares and mains! The creativity has produced a delicious mix of share foods comprising of fresh seafood, North American inspired flavours and Mexican dishes.
Offering an extensive beverage list developed by Group Beverage Manager Joe Worthington and Bar Manager Tristan Fisher, SoCal is the place to unwind after a long day. The dedicated Margarita menu offers no less than 8 variations, and the tequila and mezcal flights are unmissable for agave enthusiasts.
