Best Date Night Restaurants in Aptos

We love eating at Hero Ranch! Our server was Brianna and she was wonderful with us. Although it was busy, she checked in on us as much as she could. The food was excellent and came out quickly. We love sitting outside because they keep on the heaters and I love the ambiance.

The burger I had was delicious. My husband had the braised short rib ragu. He loved it and I did too when I tasted it. The preparations were thoughtful and full of layers of flavor. I had a mocktail (ginger cardamom cooler) - spicy in a good way and fresh. We will return.

Ron was great, thorough and recommended the best items on the menu in order to make the ordering experience a bit simpler. The service from our waitress was excellent and we had plenty of folks checking on us and sharing interesting bits of information about the chef, the offerings, and upcoming events. Food was exceptional and came with plenty of free tastings that were a nice surprise. Will definitely be returning.

So happy to have found this little gem. Don’t let first glance fool you, the food is amazing. I particularly recommend the quiches and tacos. There is also a really cute little French Bakery inside the main restaurant. We sat outside and there was a little noise from street traffic but not too bad. Will def revisit!

Drinks were amazing, food was delicious and service was great from Noelle. We’ll definitely be back!
