Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Aptos

The buffet experience was great! Each station offered something unique, with everything from sizzling hot entrees, a pasta and omelet station, to beautifully presented seafood appetizers, salads and desserts that were appealing and delicious. The ham, prime rib, turkey and salmon in particular were tasty, moist and tender. The quality and taste of the food exceeded expectations. Staff was attentive and friendly, though it took a little while to be greeted by our server. I left feeling satisfied and look forward to future buffets!

We've made Christmas brunch here a tradition. We'll be here next year too!

Never disappointed when dining at Cafe Cruz…we were celebrating our anniversary and were offered a complimentary glass of bubbly…the mahi mahi was cooked to perfection and I think they have the best salad menu in Santa Cruz.

Really great experience overall. Great beverages and food. Wonderful location.

My husband ordered the pasta, delicious!! I ordered the steak, and it was wonderful. We ordered the brussels sprouts too. My mouth is watering. I can hardly wait to go back.
