Best Neighbourhood Gem Restaurants in Aptos

This is our favorite restaurant and we always return for important celebratory events. Last night, every single food item we ordered was off the charts delicious. Nancy was a lovely waitress who was also enjoyable to chat with. The only wrinkle in our experience was that our table was not ready for us despite having a reservation, so we had to wait. But it is Valentine's Day weekend and was a busy evening at Cafe Cruz. We had a lovely evening and a fabulous meal!

Evvia is one of my favorite all time restaurants. The food is consistently excellent and the service impeccable. Favorite dishes include the spreads, the Evvia salad, Greek salad, avgolemono soup, anything with lamb and the whole fish. The pasta never disappoints and if you want a hearty dish their moussaka is the very best outside Greece.

We stayed at the resort and went to the restaurant for our anniversary. Shoutout to the host! She was super sweet and professional (we didn’t catch her name unfortunately) its nice to meet someone with vreat personality. Our server andrew was super nice too! The best customer service i’ve ever had! We got the bone in short ribs, and burger for entree. We liked the burger more, also we ordered a calamari for an appetizer it was the best calamari we ever had!! Definitely will come back there

We enjoyed a beautiful sunset dinner with outstanding food and service. We each had the opah fish special and a delicious raw fish appetizer. Will definitely come back again!

From start to finish our experience at Plumed Horse was nothing short of phenomenal. Every dish was delightfully evocative, both taste and presentation. The service was also incredible. A perfect balance of professionalism and warmth. Everyone at Plumed Horse clearly takes great pride and joy in their work and it shows!
