Aldo’s is one of the few harbor restaurants that attract tourists due to its scenic views of the water while enjoying some breakfast, a sammy, or seafood.
We had a 30 minute wait coming on a Saturday afternoon and were seated an hour before their closing at 15:00.
Since I am plant-based, I had to ask some questions with their veggie related items. Their default bread is unfortunately not vegan so I opted for sourdough in my veggie burger, removing the cheese and mayo.
The food here was decent but nothing to write home about. My veggie burger came quite bland with just the sourdough sandwiching it, and the condiments all on the side. I wish they had helped put everything together and sliced it in half for me to make it easier to eat. The fries on the side were okay and went well with the vibes of the day.
I’m happy I got to come and experience this place once but I probably wouldn’t come back given the price and lack of creative veggie items.

Great staff. Lots of shade available. Having a bar window available while you wait for your table was a HUGE hit. Offering breakfast items until close was another win. Fish and chips on point. Breakfast scramble (bacon) a great brunch option. Bloody Mary’s were worth it. View and vibe worth the wait. We’ll be back all summer.

I love how dog friendly this restaurant is. The homemade garlic fugasa and clam chowder are crowd pleasers. If you like prawns, you can order them in a quesadilla or over linguine. Don’t forget the Bloody Mary! The service is quick and accommodating for special requests. The wait on weekdays is minimal, but if you have to wait at least you get to enjoy those harbor views.

The service was radiant! The women who were working were sweet, charming, and mischievously funny. Their presence alone warrants return; they made hospitality feel like a homecoming, not a transaction.
The food was great; very fresh and perfect portion sizes. My only criticism would be that my French toast, though tasty, was a bit under-saturated, the middle was untouched by batter denying it the custardy goodness the outer edges offered.
The atmosphere was magical, alive with marine life. As we ate we watched the sea birds fish and caught a few glimpses of a lone sea lion weaving through the boats in the harbor.

We love this dog friendly outdoor restaurant along the harbor. Their hours are limited to breakfast and lunch. They also aren’t open on rainy days. But on a sunny day it’s a great spot to get a bite and Fido can come too!
Mahi tacos and blackened fish sandwich are both recommended.
Beware of pigeons they’re a tad aggressive and can drive my dog nuts.

Leslie and I enjoyed our breakfast. She had avocado toast dish and I had the pumpkin tall stack. Everything was great. Scenery was very nice. Cozy place with an extensive menu. Our server was Daniel. She alone made it worth the trip. She was wonderful. Friendly and sweet. We had a great morning there.

The food here was really excellent! We had a party of 4. Calamari appetizer to start was very good. 2 sets of fish tacos that were excellent. Cioppani seafood stew was amazing. The blackened fish sandwich was so good also. Having an amazing location right at the harbor was such a nice ambiance. There were a bunch of dogs, very dog friendly! Washrooms were just public washrooms and the parking situation is a bit awkward. Would highly recommend just based on the food!

Great place right by the marina. They are super laid back in their attire and allow pets which makes them even more inviting. We reached around noon and were able to get seated right away. The weather was pretty nice so sitting outside was pleasant.
We got the coconut shrimp and onion rings as appetizers and the clam chowder and crab cakes Benedict as the entrees. Everything was delicious! I also got a hot chocolate and it was quite good. The entrees are decent sized so again, I didn’t finish so this shall be my dinner 🙂
Do recommend them if you’re planning to come to Santa Cruz..

The French toast is on my top 5 list of best French toast in the country. We had to wait for our table…but due to the location we were able to take a nice walk to the lighthouse. There were plenty of benches nearby facing the marina. Beautiful view, great food, friendly people.

We were looking for a local outdoor dog friendly place to grab lunch so we decided to try this Yelp recommended eatery. Unlike the other reviews, I didn’t think the calamari was the best ever, it was just ok. The clam chowder however, was really good! We ordered fish and chips and I’ll give that 3 stars. They use a panko style batter and I prefer a beer batter. The Bloody Mary’s, I’ll give 4 stars. They were pretty tasty. The ambiance is 5 stars because the waitress was friendly and you’re seating right on the harbor. I’d recommend you try it.
