Nothing better after a walk on the beach…5pm, looks like a great place abandons is playing in the outdoor sitting area but I go straight to the indoor bar area and order a glass of wine, then order a fish plate with mashed potatoes, all great but then then owner came by and asked if every good, well that’s it, perfecto I said. Really good)

Outdoor seating was nice, there are several overhead heaters. They have a great variety of items on their menu. Our server was very attentive. It sits right on the beach.enjoy.

Having an early dinner en pleine aire near the beach was a treat especially during these COVID-19 times so the location itself is fabulous. Also it’s great that’s the patio seating and service extends to the Flats pizza joint next door (take-out menu sharing). The rating I give this is based on my roots. If I wasn’t from Hawai’i I might have rated the poke salad higher. Generous portion, check. But the tuna was more cooked than seared. The calamari could have been crisper but I realize they need to serve it in the take-away container that keeps moisture in the box. The full service bar was a treat —beer on tap and accommodating to my special request for a Mezcal mule.

The food was very good. We shared a ceviche and had the catch of the day and grilled calamari. We were out with our puppy lab (13 months) and sat on the patio. The service was very friendly and efficient. Oh, I almost forgot. The coconut cheesecake was delicious.

Food was pretty tasty, service left us disappointed. Our waitress was a little rough around the edges and in a hurry which didn’t feel good. Beautiful view of the ocean and live music when we first arrived. The Ahi Tuna was delicious! My prawns were ho hum. The crack cauliflower is definitely worth it too. Oh, and don’t forget to try the homemade mud pie for dessert- scrumptious with the best chocolate toffee!

I have been to Cafe Rio twice recently. Both times the food and the service were great. Each time, one member of the party ordered the specials and they were excellent. The short ribs were delicious as well.
The wait staff was very friendly and attentive without being the least pesky. This is not a cheap meal, but I think it is well priced for the quality.

Food was good but the waitress really let us down. She was hustling alot which was absolutely no necessary and made us so uncomfortable. She even brought two customers close to our table saying we gonna clean the table where we were still sitting and there was empty tables besides us. Absolutely rude waitress who has dark straight hair in her 40s. Hope owner notices that and she was mistreating the food server boys too.

Fresh food with the typical pretentious atmosphere. You might go here to be seen, and the service is acceptable.
Overall, the menu is nice and simple with plenty of choices for surf and turf.
Prices are mid-range, and craft beers/wines are acceptable regarding selection.

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