Best Seafood Restaurants in Aptos

We had lunch outside yesterday. The food, service and ambience were wonderful as usual. We've dined here many times over many years, and have never been disappointed, seriously! We both selected from their Lunch Specials menu (which changes frequently). I had to try the Huevos Rancheros. Theirs is close to, if not the best rendition of the dish that I have had. Thin, crispy tortillas (whole, not chips), layered with black beans, lightly spiced and smokey ranchero sauce, topped with two perfectly cooked fried eggs, sour cream, 1/2 of a sliced avocado. Just delicious! My wife had the Grilled shrimp salad with super-soft gorgonzola cheese with balsamic drizzle and sliced poached bartlett pears. Salad had arugula, shaved brussels sprouts, and dries cranberries. Also, simply delicious! We live locally and it's wonderful that we have Cafe Cruz in our back pocket to dine at whenever we like.

We celebrated our 21 year anniversary, they gave us personalized menus and our server was wonderful. Everything was delicious but the Chilean Sea Bass is phenomenal. You are packed in close to others and we had a fantastic time listening to the unfiltered conversations around us. A mix between Seinfeld and The Golden Girls. If you stay locally let your hotel know where you are dining and they might have an appetizer coupon for you.

Excellent food. Excellent environment. Great customer service by waiter Daniel! Great music! Good ambience. Wonderful views of the ocean.

We enjoyed dinner on the outside patio. They had heaters set up to keep it warm. We enjoyed the seafood pasta and red snapper special. The key lime pie for dessert was excellent! Our server was very friendly and gave good recommendations.

Amazing food, view, and portions. Highlights. Fried artichokes. Ahi tuna salad.
