Restaurants near Twelfth Avenue County Park

Fabulous fresh cuisine, terrific view, and fabulous service!

Excellent service and good, seated us on time and served in a timely manner

We had an early dinner at La Posta on Friday 5/16. Service was very attentive and the food was excellent. La Posta prides themselves on serving farm fresh, flavorful food and they really hit the mark. Also provided expert guidance on the wine selection which otherwise can be a little daunting as the choices are outside of the prototypical California cuisine offerings. Overall, a really nice experience. We will definitely be back.

My friends and I attended brunch and enjoyed the bottomless mimosas. The food was amazing, the service was outstanding and the atmosphere was wonderful. The avocado toast was perfect. All of my girlfriends’ food was also delicious. We had an amazing time while sipping mimosas and chatting for most of the morning. Will definitely be returning again!

Laili is the BEST restaurant in Santa Cruz! My sister will be 83 tomorrow, and I wanted to take here out for a special lunch. Of course, I chose Laili and was not disappointed!! We had two different waiters, as one was going off duty. Both young men were friendly, helpful and had good senses of humor. (I'll admit, we had fun laughing with them!) The garden setting in the patio was even more luscious than usual, with fresh tropical plants recently added. The marinated beet, arugula and feta salad was one of the best salads I've ever had! The main course of lamb kebobs, 3 sauces, delicious white rice and arugula was very good, as always. My only sliight pickiness was that the lamb seemed a bit over-cooked, but that may just be my taste. Otherwise, it was all perfect. We enjoyed the special ginger ale drinks. To top it all off, here came a chocolate cake topped with fresh raspberries for my sister's birthday dessert, complete with a tiny candle, which she blew out. Fortunately, she shared the dessert with me!
