Best Restaurants with Great Beer in Aptos

Wonderful meal. We are seniors and still loved the vibe. Quiet at first and then a bit more lively. Luke was so welcoming and helpful. He even gave us a tour of the”upper bar” and showed us the elevator in the back. There was live music too! We will be back, especially as we live downtown. Will bring my lady friends too!

As always, the Austrian cuisine menu did not disappoint. For dinner, we started with a homemade pretzel & cheese sauce, then split the butter lettuce salad with toasted pumpkin seeds, a hot bowl of delicious garlic soup, and enjoyed entrees of Hungarian Goulash (tender beef chunks w/spatzle in very tasty sauce), & Jager Schnitzel (pork schnitzel braised in a mushroom creme sauce w/broccolini & garlic confit, served with spatzle). All this with an excellent local pinot noir made for a perfect bday celebration, although we took half of it home. Besides the food, the staff and waiters went out of their way to make us feel at-home and welcome!

We dine at the South Salinas occasion most often. We come to this location, specifically for the Brisket sandwich (only served Fri, Sat, Sun). I used to live in Carmel, so it's nice to come here (except during the busy summer months). We like the ambience. Jonah, our server, was professional and friendly. The food is consistently good. We'll be back again and again.

First, the beef tallow fries are delicious! I also had the pesto chicken sandwich and my sister had the burger with the side salad and everything was very good. We received the fries well ahead of our entrées which we would have preferred together.  Service was a bit slow, nothing to really complain about and everyone was very nice.

Our server Courtney was wonderful and our pizzas were delicious.
