“I had lunch with a friend today and I wanted to try Soul Salad I was not disappointed. Fresh, flavorful and the customer service was top notch The owner offered to make me something special: he grilled me sesame crusted tofu and put it on the Wasabi salad. That was so cool and I appreciated it too. btw it was delicious I ate every bite I was also able to customize a salad for my husband. Thank you Team Soul Salad for an amazing lunch 🥰🙏🏻🥗“

“Every time I go, spot in with the food. This is what I look for in a restaurant. Think out of the box menu with consistency every time I go with every item I order. I keep working down the menu to try everything. They obviously make their own sauce, the ranch, super bomb diggity. Fries, onion rings, salad all fresh and crisp. Mac and Gouda cheese bites, Yes! Chop cheese, you gotta have one of these! Mushroom cap “burger “ something you will crave, Parish pie, goodness wrapped up in one dish. Salmon fish & chips, fantastic. And I forgot to mention beer, beer, beer, they also have beer and mixed drinks. There is always specials on the screens. Last time I noticed something about tenderloin and bacon …… can’t wait to go back and find out!“

“Pizza My Heart in Aptos is a great spot with consistently fresh ingredients and delicious pizza. The staff is kind, hardworking, and welcoming, and the manager runs the restaurant with professionalism and care. The space is always incredibly clean and has a warm, inviting atmosphere that makes you want to come back. They also provide educational opportunities (field trips) for our students. I love how they are involved in our community!“

“Have been coming here for 20+ years (yes, I know, it was Surf City before). Today’s experience was probably the best ever. The staff is super friendly. The quality of the food is great. Love the choice of cheese for the dawners. And the eggs were perfect. Unfortunately we aren’t locals or we would be back more often. But, we do come back to the area, it’s on our “must go” list.“

Drinks were great too. Nice enough for a date night. Casual enough to be a great neighborhood hang. 10/10.“

“It’s one of those places where you can’t go inside you have to order at the window.if it’s cold outside that is the down side you can’t enjoy your ice cream there. I ordered a turtle Sunday and my only complaint is it would of been nice to actually get a brownie in my Sunday since that’s what turtle Sunday’s are known for and it’s was pricey still with out one so yeah.The location is good though.“

“This is a restaurant with an elegant atmosphere , great service , good wine list and a wide selection of North-Indian dishes.
Food , however, is NOT authentic Indian. We found it bland but a bit excessive in oil & certain flavorings/ spices.

We ordered the Paneer sizzler, vegan butter chicken, mutter paneer, vegan aloo paratha, plain naan and raita.

I requested some achaar- Indian pickle and the house made achar was satisfying. Naan & raita were both very satisfying as well !

The aloo paratha was disappointing with unnecessarily excessive flavoring .

The dessert menu was very small and boring. We ended the meal with the ghulab jamun, served hot. It was good !“

They make vegetarian version of most dishes on their big menu. We had the fresh veg spring rolls that came with sweet plum sauce and peanut sauce . And then a hot pot of spicy Tom Kha soup - coconut milk with tofu & veggies.

They were both great .“

Something else that stood out was the hot salsa, which was extremely hot, but also had a wonderful flavor. This is my favorite breakfast place moving forward in the area.“
