Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Soquel

One of our favorite places, especially on a rainy, quiet night. Their food is always sooo good, crispy chili cauliflower, roasted beet salad and a shared butternut squash ravioli, my personal favorite, and a bottle of 2021 Windy Oaks Pinot. Chef Gema Cruz is an aptly named gem! ♥️

We enjoyed our meal. The server was great and the desserts were delicious.

Our server Dylan was friendly and had some great recommendations for us. Food was fantastic. Quick and the right portion size. Really enjoyed the evening. Cheers

We had an outstanding meal last night. They had specials for the evening. My husband choose the filet mignon. It was a very good size served with 3 large mushroom raviolis and a nice broccoli. My husband thought the broccoli was the best he had ever had. He loved his entire dinner. I had the bravette steak. It was served on a bed of pureed sunchoke and artichokes. It was amazing. I started with the Brussel sprouts. They were the best ever. Nicely cooked and sauced. I finished the entire dish myself. Our friend had the special cod and loved it too. Overall, I was very very iimpressed with dinner. I can hardly wait to go back. Try it and you will fall in love like all of us did.

Our table of seven for lunch choose three Asian Chicken salads, which my wife declares the "best" she has had, and she is a San Francisco foodie. Another had the Eggs Benedict which resulted in a clean plate, and I had the Mahi Mahi sandwich which was perfectly cooked on a wonderful roll. Oh and we started with the Fried Calamari that was crispy and tender. (Much better than the calamari we had two days later at a pricy Pebble Beach resort!)
