- KKendraSan Francisco Bay Area •2 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoWe were visiting the area for our anniversary weekend. Our hotel recommended it. We chose the patio dining which was cozy with multiple heat lamps and a stone fireplace. It was much quieter than inside as well. The food was delicious! I had the pear and tangerine salad and it was the perfect blend of flavors in every bite. Hubby ordered the pork chops and loved the juiciness and seasonings-cooked to perfection. My entree was the steak fettuccini and it too was cooked exactly as ordered. Topped off with crème brûlée and complimentary champagne from our server. A memorable, romantic way to celebrate 38 years!More infoCafe Cruz Rosticceria & BarPrice: Moderate• Contemporary American• Soquel•4.7
- AAninaVIPSan Francisco Bay Area •69 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoThe food at La Posta is excellent as usual, and the music was fabulous. The only thing is the servers are being a little bit strange these days we go there all the time we’re familiar with the wine list and the menu and for some reason, the waiter actually read us the entire menu. My friend and I are both over 70 but we don’t have any visible physical impairments and I don’t really understand why the waiter it was so patronizing. Then, and this is a common problem with American restaurants, kept coming over and whenever he came over he just started talking to us. He didn’t wait and see when we were done talking or make eye contact to ask permission. He just interrupted over and over again.  my friend and I love La Posta and we will certainly go back again, but I don’t understand the strange behavior.More infola PostaPrice: Moderate• Italian• Santa Cruz•4.8
- LLizCalifornia Central Coast •2 reviews5.0Dined 6 days agoDinner was amazing! All our food was so flavorful. As soon as we checked in, they congratulated me and my fiancé on our anniversary since we added that note to our reservation. We thought that was so thoughtful of them. Service was great. Katie was our server and she was amazing! Definitely recommend this place for a nice romantic dinner date or to hang with your girls too, or any size party really.More infoJack O'Neill Restaurant & LoungePrice: Expensive• Contemporary American• Santa Cruz•4.7

- PPeterVIPCalifornia Central Coast •3 reviews5.0Dined on Jan 19, 2025Always great. Always friendly. Always accommodating. One of our dishes was over-spiced and the server let us switch to another option, no questions asked. We appreciate the responsiveness and the hospitalityMore infoSudaPrice: Expensive• American• Santa Cruz•4.9
