Aldo's Restaurant, Santa Cruz, CA P145
 
A Top Pick in the Area
 
Here's another Santa Cruz hangout that's worth the wait.  Aldo's Restaurant is at the Santa Cruz Yacht Harbor and it is open for Breakfast and Lunch. No Reservations.  It's an outdoor restaurant with a few inside tables for the timid.  We have been their for both breakfast and lunch.  Luncheon faire runs the gamit from a sausage sandwich, to breaded fresh fish on foccica bread to fresh pasta.  The prices are moderate, you can get out of their with a meal and tip for $10.00 per person for lunch.  When we hit town we always head for Aldo's for lunch. My usual meal is a cup of Clam Chowder and a Fish Sandwich...excellent. Sue usually has the crab sandwich which is her favorite.  Sometimes the wait can be 30 to 45 minutes, but you can watch the boats in the harbor or the kids fishing. On my last visit, I went for breakfast and there were four of us in the party including a baby.  The service was great, my traditional breakfast of eggs, sausage and potatoes hit the spot.  My son had eggs benedict which he said were fine, but almost too filling, while my daughter-in-law had breakfast potatoes which she enjoyed.  I would rate this Santa Cruz restaurant an A.  It is kind of a funky cool, but that's Santa Cruz.  It's definately laid back, and the dress is casual.  If your out walking you dog that's fine the dog is welcome, too.
