Turn the Otter Cheek

The Salty Otter Sports Grill opened in Downtown Santa Cruz, CA, in Spring of 2025 but it recently caught the ire of some patrons who thought the establishment’s AI-generated was so bad it deserved to be part of some negative online reviews. On Google, after describing the food as “greasy” and being “almost certain most of it came out of a freezer”, one user segued into pointing out their logo is AI generated, adding “if they can’t make the effort to create a logo they definitely won’t make the effort to cook good food”. On social media, the owner explained why she caved in and changed the logo. I mean, sure, it’s a suck-y AI logo but, whatever, let the woman run a business, people.
