The fruit accompaniment was delicious and fresh. Service was on point. I even got serenaded and served a yummy dessert when they found out it was my birthday. I wholly recommend this excellent restaurant!“

“Hands down the best pizza I’ve ever had, period! It’s incredibly fresh, perfectly crafted, and the crust is exactly what you want—beyond crisp on the outside and perfectly fluffy on the inside.

“One of the best meals I've had in Santa Cruz in a very long time. So many tourist quality crappy restaurants here, This was a great surprise. Took away one star only because they leave the front door open and is pretty cold outside in Capitola in the evening. My wife was cold during the entire meal.“

“I had an amazing experience at this restaurant! The food was delicious, and the service was incredible. I particularly enjoyed the Thai tea. I definitely would say it was one of the best I’ve had in a while. Plus, the beachfront location and fresh sea air made it feel super relaxing. If you’re in Capitola, I highly recommend eating here!“

“Wonderful coffee!! We will be back for more!!“

“Champagne AND spaghetti?! I am so happy you can order Caruso's at Vin Vivant. A match made in Heaven!

The Caruso family is so nice and the food is just delicious, pure comfort food. The Gnocchi Al Forno is the best gnocchi I've ever had. Pillowy gnocchi in a hearty, garlicky marinara. It's like eating a WARM HUG.

I also love the Fettuccine Vodka and Chicken Parmesan. The complimentary bread with roasted garlic oil is such a nice gift.“

“SOOOOOOO GOOD & FITS INTO MY FOOD ALLERGEN CONCERNS NO PROBLEM! My husband who doesn't have to skirt around gluten, dairy or eggs, ABSOLUTELY loved the treats!“

“Stop by for the convenient storefront, come back again and again for the top tier sashimi and understated but excellent hospitality. All our rolls and nigiri were mmmmmmm good. I have not been to Japan, but my companion has. Our meal was competitive on flavor and quality, and right here in Capitola. You know how miso soup can be a forgettable way to wait for your meal? Not here. Subtle and flavorful, make sure you enjoy some along with a memorable taste of Japan.“

“Just had breakfast at this gem of a cafe. The food was excellent. The staff was sweet and hospitable. Seriously, put this charming spot on your breakfast list. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟“

“This place deserves more hype. The best Thai food I’ve had and only decent food in the village. Also reasonably priced!! Family owned and they work hard. We always do family style and order a bunch of things and it’s all good. Couldn’t recommend it more.“

“Okay guys it may not look like your next date night based on the outside but I promise this place has the best Vietnamese food in Santa Cruz. Their chicken vermicelli bowl is always my go to - it’s so yummy, fresh, satisfying, and always hits the spot. Their soups are authentic and the spicy beef broth is actually spicy. Get the chicken banh mi if you like delicious things because I’m pretty sure they make the bread fresh and their chicken is the best meat they have. Food comes out quick but there are limited tables available. Don’t forget to get a boba on the way out :)“

“Hosted my daughter’s birthday at this great venue. Cathy was an attentive and organized one woman show— doing food and wine orders. All of us relaxed and enjoyed ourselves for a few hours. Cork and Fork is an oasis that feels very private and intimate. Thank you, Cathy, for all you did to make that party a success.“

“We live just up the street and finally came in for the first time. My Son and I had the chicken pesto and the chicken apple Brie Sandos. Food was BOMB delicious. The vibe is super family oriented and welcoming. The spot is super quaint and comfortable. The staff is so friendly, u know ur neighbors.“

“The Al Pastor was dry, I like it aged and dry, not sweet. The tacos were large and with thinly sliced fresh cabbage, tomatoes and beans. The waitstaff was excellent and the chair was comfortable. I am disappointed they didn’t have taquitos and I did not see sides of rice and beans offered on the menu. ?“

“love Dharma's I've been eating here for >20 years“

“The food is what I expect from Olive Garden. Addictive breadsticks, yummy soup, etc. but what this review is about is Nick. This man knows what girls want. And that’s more breadsticks without asking. I found out today his only his second day but he’s working like he’s reached a flow state and this is what he truly wants to be doing. If you read this, Nick, thank you. You made lunch amazing for my child.“

The ingredients they use are fresh and top notch…and our cupcakes were soooo good!!! We plan on coming back to try other flavors of sandwiches.“

“I do not usually leave reviews, but this is my second time coming to the Chili’s in Capitola and both times have been great. The servers take orders quickly and bring drinks and food even quicker. Everyone is very friendly and welcoming and I cannot wait to bring my family back!“
