“Amazing food and service. Locally sourced. Delicious. Staff was great. So impressed. Highly recommend. Beet salad and cauliflower sides were incredible! Osso Bucco and Mushroom Gnocchi simply amazing.“

“Excellent food; excellent service; excellent ambience! My favorite restaurant!“

“Quaint and friendly atmosphere. Food was outstanding, beautiful presentation with balanced flavor profiles and creative recipes using simple ingredients. We had the seared scallops, farm salad, ravioli verde, gnocchi with pork ragu and the halibut. To drink I had a surprisingly good Dolomiti pilsner that was flowery and crisp, and we also had a Borolo red and a fantastic white I can't recall the name of that was recommended by our server.We were pleasantly surprised and will definitely go back. Oh, they change their menu weekly so expect new dishes.“

“If you are looking for a place where you are warmly welcomed and looked after in an authentic atmosphere, you have come to the right place. All the employees were warm and attentive.No fancy, no unnecessary frills.The breakfast offering was good, the portions were decent (not too much either) and everything tasted really good. The cinamon rolls are particularly recommended. No problems with other requests (prefer fruit instead of potatoes). All around great!“

“Everything here was amazing. We got the pork dumplings and hot oil which was probably some of my favorite dumplings i think I’ve ever had, plus they’re handmade. The Dan Dan noodles were phenomenal, perfectly spicy and numbs the back of your throat with how much Sichuan pepper they put in it. Then we got the Red chili pepper chicken, which had an abundance of chilies, peanuts fried garlic, and was also amazing. Plus they home make their own soy sauce, which is also amazing. 10/10 would Chinese food again.“

“I LOVE this place. The BEST ever!!!!“

“Made a stop here on Mothers Day and got seating at the bar with no wait. Food was excellent as always and the wait staff superb. Our food arrived hot and fresh. Our coffee was refreshed frequently. French toast is my favorite and it was delicious. A Santa Cruz favorite, this place it worth a stop anytime.“

“Best food and service we have had since pre Covid!! Very refreshing experience!!! Will definitely come back!“

“Always so good and the owners are really nice to my dog and I. I have no problem suggesting this place to anyone. Every time I have the person has been very thankful“

“This place deserves to be much more popular. As good or better than many restaurants around here with hours of wait (I've never had to wait to get into this one though). Can get a bit cold in some of their tables at winter, but they have heat lamps.“

“Basque style tapas (pintxos) in a stylish little restaurant. What’s not to like? Stop in for a couple of small bites and a drink like a Spaniard would, or have dinner.“

“Had an absolutely stellar burger here today and the carrot cake was gorgeous. Great vibes in this place and the ladies running it have wonderful energy.It's so rare to find healthy, tasty and fulfilling plant based food at this standard.Needless to say, I'm looking forward to returning.Highly, highly recommended!“

“Delicious food, fabulous staff. A must try“

“It was my wife’s Birthday and we made reservations for four people. We got to the restaurant and sat at a nice table and started looking at the menu. It took a few minutes, but we realized that the menus on the table were customized with a Happy Birthday wish. Through out the evening, we ordered two drinks each, the drinks were all good, but I think the favorite was the Pomegranate Margaritta. For appetizers, we ordered the Moroccan Spiced Lamb Meatballs with fresh garlic naan, the Kimchi Rice Fritters, and the Fried Artichoke Salad. They were good, fresh, and delicious. That fresh garlic naan with the lamb meatballs was the best. For entrees, we ordered the Red Wine Filet Mignon; the meat just melted in your mouth, the best I had in a very long time. We also ordered the special Stiped Bass, Curry Yogurt Chicken, and the Spring Leek Fettuccini. Those dinners were amazing, we all tried a bite. They were all done to perfection and had their specialized taste. I never order chicken but ordered the Curry Yogurt Chicken just based on the description, and it did not disappoint, it was really good. For desert, we ordered the Vim Chocolate Cake (chocolate heaven), Lemon Pistachio Churro (amazing), and the Tahini Semifreddo (vegan and good). Our waitress Laura and the rest of the staff were very professional, excellent, super nice, and easy to talk to. We will definitely come back to VIM. Thank you for a great evening.“

“great service! delicious, authentic Oaxacan food. We will go back!“

“Outstanding food and service. Highly recommend as the best Italian Restuarant in the Bay Area“

“Food was delicious! Service was great and ambiance was lovely! I wish the price point was a tad easier, but if this is a special date night then go for it. We had several delicious dishes--literally every single one was SO good. We had a lovely window seat. Would highly recommend a dinner here!“

“Ordered and paid for lunch for a work pal and I. She’s the person at the office who knows the best places to eat. It was fast and easy. Less than $9 per sandwich & it filled us up. The sauce was delicious. I will definitely order takeout lunch again.“

“Hubby had been here before, but I had not. He raved about their excellent, smooth coffee, which is served by the small mugful, then refilled upon request. I toned it down with almond milk and sugar because it's strong! Hubby had the Omelette Mexicano with a side of sausage links. I had the Omelette Santa Cruz with cheddar cheese. Both came with house potatoes and were quite generous portions. The food was good, the service excellent and the Saturday morning vibe was perfect, with Brazilian music in the background. Arrive early, because this place is popular and gets crowded FAST.“

“the almond croissant cookie was the best cookie i’ve ever had. perfectly chewy, crunchy on the edges, not too sweet. perfect size so you get a good balance between edges and middle.also got the gouda & roast beef sandwich. it was actually really refreshing and not too heavy. the juicy heirloom tomatoes and crunchy lettuce pair so well with the roast beef. it also has the perfect amount of dijon mustard to go with it. the bread was buttery and delicious but i might prefer a lighter bread with less accent because the inside is so good. still a solid 9/10service was good & the lady with dark hair & pink sparkly eyeshadow was super kind :)“

“Hard to beat this location... views out to the lighthouse and Steamer Lane. All outdoor seating, and service is quick! You order first and are given a buzzer to retrieve your food. Prices are pretty good and the food all seems fresh and healthy. I loved my tofu bowl, although I thought the portion was a bit small. My friend got the breakfast quesadilla which looked delicious and was a bigger portion. Definitely a fun place to take friends visiting.“

“Good food, good service. Always a great experience ❤️“

“My husband and I had a great breakfast I got a breakfast burrito and a frittata. Both were very good and big great food for a great price and the customer service was amazing.“

“? Lasooni Wings - These were fantastic. Garlicy, full of spice, and very lowkey spicy with a gentle sweetness in the background, while the flavour of the chili (oil?) is the more major flavor with the garlic coming in after. It's just a slight tingle of spicy. Very tender and moist.?Garlic Naan - gentle garlic taste, and very gentle doughy background. These were good.?Chicken Tikia Masala - complex creamy savory spiced flavour throughout. Very gentle hint of sweetness and sourness. The chicken within is breast meat, cooked perfectly so it's not dry. We got the mild spice level, this was also fantastic.?Mango Lassi - I loved it. Not too sweet, creamy, light mango flavour throughout the background.?Overall, each time I've gone here, I've had a great meal.“

“This place has some really delicious drinks and great food. I also love how dog friendly it is. I came back twice in a weekend.“

“We LOVE this place and especially the owners Chris & Jenny. They are loving and hard working people who make absolutely delicious food.“

“Whenever we come down to Capitola from Aptos looking for a place to grab a Yummy bite it’s Always Carusos IF WE CAN GET IN?The service is great the food is always consistently outstanding and when you leave you’ll feel like you just left Mama’s kitchen“

“Best cocktail bar in the South Bay!“

“Always fast service and never any mistakes with my orders. I honestly don’t understand why there CANT be an up charge for an additional item for the Pizza Sandwich. I’ve had mushrooms added previously but when they’re busy, it’s not okay. I always tip 18-20% and even more yesterday when I somehow accidentally added an extra item to a personal pizza and was refunded.When you only get a measly 6 jalapeños as your second item, are a few mushrooms gonna be a huge deal? Wouldn’t customer satisfaction be worth $.75? I’m lost on why you can add tons to a pizza and get charged for that but not on a sandwich. ?‍♀️“

“Great service, great food“

“This "chain" pizza restaurant delivers a delicious consists tasty pizza.Pizza My Heart gives you lots of options for the amount of sauce, cheese, and fresh ingredients.Nice thin crust that didn't get soggy from all of the fresh veggies.Without asking enough napkins that were quality thick napkins.Hand full of parm packets and paper plates.“

“We loved our experience at Melinda’s! The food was amazing and the people that were working were so nice! Melinda even gave me recommendations for other celiac-safe restaurants in the area. I highly recommend this spot for those who follow a gluten-free diet and even those who don’t! My husband and daughter don’t eat gluten-free but they loved the food, too!“

“Great Italian Delicatessen. It's been there since the early forties. Great sandwiches. You can also purchase a half a sandwich and a cup of soup. The IPA beers are excellent, 7.2% alcohol. They have Italian licorice which is soft and has a brown color and they use molasses in it it's excellent. If you haven't been to this place I suggest you go.“

“very good and Shelby s sunny disposition makes it even better. definitely our new favorite place for breakfast.“

“bonito lugar excelente atención“

“This is the best restaurant. The food is insanely good and the service is superb. It is a hidden gem and if you can get a reservation you will not be disappointed. I highly recommend.“

“The staff is amazing! The food is amazingly fresh and flavorful. Hands down this Restaurant was a huge highlight of our vacation. Thank you for an awesome dinner, and making us feel right at home!“

“Achilles is by far the best Mediterranean food I’ve tasted and what makes it so much better is the customer service that surrounds you. I work for a veteran nonprofit, and I chose Achilles by the sea for a food option. The owner Elias personally reached out to me, and I have never ever received such kindness and support that I received from him. He is such a great guy, and the food that he prepares for his customers is beyond, amazing. I cannot explain how grateful we are for the support of Achilles. The veterans were so grateful and they all complemented on how great the dinner was. So, on behalf of Operation Surf, we want to highlight Achilles by the sea, and the amazing staff that supported our Veterans, staff and volunteers alike. Thank you again and I highly recommend you trying this restaurant, you will not be disappointed.“

“Wandered in on a whim, knowing I have wanted to visit, and was SO pleasantly surprised. Very relaxed but lively environment, the owner runs the cash register and makes the dumplings!Which, by the way, were some of the best I’ve had. I ordered the beef Momo dumplings, and they were served with a spicy red sauce, and a side salad with grated carrot and lemon dressing.The dumplings were savory and spiced to perfection. Every ingredient in the meat mix came through uniquely and beautifully. The salad dressing was so bright and delicious that I wanted to drink it, and the spicy red sauce added the perfect extra kick to the dumplings, if you like spice like me, you would definitely enjoy. Got the whole plate for $13 (including tax).I thoroughly enjoyed my experience, and I didn’t even get to the drink menu. But based on the reactions of other customers who got drinks while I was there, their drink menu is also very satisfactory. Highly recommend!“

“First time eating here. Overall very impressed by the food. We had the grilled cheese special, the biscuit sandwich, and the strawberry and beet salad. Very good flavors. And pleasantly surprised to find out that they do indeed have mimosas, was not expecting them to have any booze so, I can officially call it brunch!Will definitely be back, and now I’m extra sad that I missed the French versus Italian community night dinner.“

“Went without prior reservations a busy celebratory sunday … give them five stars as they accommodated us with very little wait time in addition to being very warm and welcoming. Service was very good, made excellent recommendations and saw through the entire course ensuring we were comfortable and entrees met our expectations. Highly recommend this place for vegetarians who can have variety of dishes to choose from. Creamy Ravioli with veggies is very well done with a bit on creamy side. Eggplant parmigiana melted in mouth served with sauce on a tangy side. Black truffle stuffed Gnocchi w/Mushrooms Gorgonzola cream, Pesto primavera were decent. Lady who served us elevated the the entire dining experience memorable.Vegetarian options: They cater to vegetarians, one can customize and widen their choice of options.“

“Super friendly and efficient service. Nice heaters outside. Really delicious decaf!! The best part is… I meant to order plain French toast but by mistake I ordered the French toast with bananas, pecans and whipped cream. OMG!!!! The flavor combo blew my mind. It alone is worth a trip to Santa “

“Such a beautiful experience! Very beginner friendly and such a peaceful atmosphere. They do ask that you be digital free for the time you are there inside, so if you’re looking for a spot to reconnect or go on a first date, this is the place! Everyone was super friendly and they offer games to play. Also a good place to just sit and drink tea while reading a book! It’s 16 dollars for the table and then you pay for the tea ranging from 5-23 dollars that will literally last you for hours! And at the end of the experience if you have not been there for long, they’ll wrap the leaves for you to take home! Love love this place!!“

“the Salmon Tacos are to die for!!! I've been enjoying them for 18 years.“

“Staff is always friendly and the food is great! Thank you“

“Hand to heart — one of the best pizzas we’ve ever had! Got a tip from a local on the plane to try this and they didn’t mislead. Partners with a local ale house, which was also good. The Parmesan crisp around the edges of the crust made this next level good. Don’t let the thick crust fool you! It’s so light and crispy. We’ll visit every trip to the area.“
