Closed - Watsonville

A nice stop by the beach with an inviting plaza to have a beer in the sun.

We had a very nice meal there the other night. It was pretty busy for a Wednesday evening and even with only two servers they did a great job. Always a good meal.

This is a $10 salad... And the blogense was very very watery. There are better places in Aptos.

The food is great. Nice mix of standards and some innovative new things. It's right on the beach and it's owned by the first waitress that ever worked there! To top it off Goyo of Manuel's fame is now onboard. Dogs welcome on the patio.

We had a fabulous meal at Cafe Rio tonight: Shared a beet salad that was so artistically crafted and presented that we didn't want to eat it--but we did! The linguine and clams dish was luscious, served with garlic toast. And the pork chop with mashed potatoes and sautéed vegetables was superb. We chose a bottle of Sarah's Pinot Noir to accompany the meal. Our server was wonderful: knowledgeable, friendly and attentive. We've been going to Cafe Rio for years--but the restaurant and Chef really knocked it out of the park last night! Kudos to everyone!
