Café Cruz - Soquel (CA)

5 /5 Dee: We were a group of 8 that arrived early. Thankfully, we were seated in the bar area where we had cocktails and then sat at a nice, somewhat secluded table for dinner. The crab cakes appetizer was fabulous, the bread with oil & vinegar was great, along with our meals. Thank you so much for the friendly atmosphere. The only downside was the parking as we had to park across the street as there were other private business signs. We will visit again.

5 /5 Holly Augustine: Really good food. Large portions. Had the blackened fish taco salad and a margarita. Great service and a nice atmosphere.

5 /5 MJ L: Food was excellent! We had the crab cakes, beet salad, ahi tuna salad. And the best thing is definitely the bread! Fresh made and served with fresh, delicious balsamic and crushed garlic. This place is really a gem. Parking can be tricky but there’s more spots in the back parking lot.

4 /5 Michael Plasterer: Fantastic restaurant stuck in the middle of a traffic and parking hellscape. The food is terrific, and the folks working there are super friendly and skilled at what they do. And this will sound weird, but they serve up possibly the best bread/oil/garlic starter on the planet. Best to make a reservation and arrive early as youre likely going to have to circle the maize a few times looking for a spot where you wont get towed, or killed crossing 41st. Still, the food is worth the challenge.

5 /5 Steve J.: I thought the dinner was great. Im still gonna give them a five. Maybe they had an "off" night but the kitchen was a little slow. My wife and I were drinking so we were fine , but we kept hearing it from the kids. But the food was great and they enjoyed it. The atmosphere is awesome. Its always good to see a packed restaurant with people enjoying the food...especially when you have a seat! Haha
