Nice menu and good food. A little noisy inside so if you have some hearing problems dine on the patio. I had the baby back ribs with polenta side and slaw. Popular and parking a problem but more spots available after 6 p.m.

Service was impeccable, fast and friendly. Drinks were cold, fresh and on point. Food was fast and delicious. Overall a great experience and always a solid spot. Their parking lot is terrible but I doubt they can fix that. Other than their parking situation this is a great spot for a nice dinner out.

Café Cruz is a local institution with excellent food and drinks. Service is professional, friendly and efficient, but sometimes slow as they can be busy. The place is popular so parking is usually a challenge, and you will have to wait for a table at certain times. We sometimes park at the Safeway/Home Depot shopping center across the street.

Loved the steak ???? and fettuccine Alfredo combo. The patio is really beautiful and a very comfortable place for an afternoon meal.

Great place. Amazing food and wonderful service. Went on a Tuesday night at 6 with my aunt. Busy place even for a weeknight. Reservation recommended. Great for families, small parties, and solo dinners. Delicious food. Will definitely be back.

I was visiting from out of the area. You can tell it's a favorite for the locals. I ordered the fillet, and it was cooked perfectly and was very delicious! As busy as it was, the food, service, and atmosphere were amazing! I definitely recommend it!

Amazing food, solid service. Highly recommend the filet mignon. Sparkling strawberry lemonade was phenomenal. Would come again when back in town.

Hidden gem in Soquel CA! Incredible food! Parking is a challenge, but most hidden gems are. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating. I ordered the blackened fish salad. The fish they used today was rock fish, it was absolutely delicious. It came with cayenne buttermilk dressing, but it wasn't so saturated that it was too heavy, it was the perfect amount. The staff is very friendly, we were well taken care of. I highly recommend!

Have you tried the blackened chicken burger/sandwich? If not, run, don't walk to get yourself one. Life changing. Amazing. This thing is massive and so delicious. Can't wait to have it again for lunch . Worth every penny . I'd give it more stars if it was possible

I wanted to follow up and write an updated review. This most recent visit to Cafe Cruz was a much more pleasant experience. Even though it was a busy rainy weekend evening, our waitress was attentive and extremely sweet (and cracked some cute jokes). I was stoked to see oysters on the menu and to give those a try. They were delightful. Our table shared the brussel sprout dish (so cheesy and tasty) and the olives. Everyone enjoyed their entree and drinks and after that experience, I would go back. My only feedback is once again, the asparagus was on the chiller side (intentional?) and under-cooked (to me) so I didn't touch them (again). The mashed potatoes made up for that though. ;)
