Best Hot Spot Restaurants in Aptos

Quality of food, service, and ambiance is always beyond expectations at Nobu Palo Alto! The entire Culinary team always goes well beyond the expected experience! Shout outs to Matt and the bar team, Taka and the sushi bar, Ryan, Marcus, Ej, and the Kitchen, the servers, and Valet guys! I've been lucky to get the same server on a few visits, unfortunately for me i always forget his name but he is amazing and always does a fantastic job! Today I was in with my cousin who has experienced multiple Nobu Locations Globally and today she mentioned the Palo Alto location is probably one of her favorites!

As always the customer service is exceptional from ALL of the employees that we interact with and that adds to the experience and why we keep coming back to Sundance. The other reason is of course the food, (I.e. the prime rib, caprese, wine selection, esp. the 1/2 bottles {though we are sad to see that there aren’t any 1/2 bottle Zinfandel options any more}, crème brûlée, and dessert wine). We will keep coming back to Sundance, but only for special occasions due to price inflation.

My partner and I came to Arya to celebrate our anniversary. Max was a great server. The drinks - specifically, the smoky and bonded old fashioned, was fantastic. We had the Dungeness crab cake appetizer, the shirazi salad, the dry aged ribeye with the garlic butter sauce, and the red velvet salmon. It was ALL delicious. We left full and very happy. Also took a piece of baklava cheesecake to go, and it was yummy an hour later. Highly recommend.

Beautiful setting out on the veranda, gorgeous view and sunset while having dinner. Just loved it! And the food was absolutely delicious.

The service and food was excellent for a Thursday night birthday celebration. Our server Sam was attentive, knowledgeable and very friendly. Sam checked in frequently with us and made sure our drinks were full and if we needed anything. Our chef was Marvin who was fantastic. I had the Benihana Trio which was perfectly seasoned with generous amount of garlic butter. The chicken fried rice was the best I have had. Also, before I was seated I ordered a happy hour drink Benihana punch and spring rolls which were nicely priced and delicious.
