   Server wasn’t around much. Never brought water. Would disappear at times. Ordered two omelets (decent), Eggs Benedict (terrible quite honestly and didn’t offer something else) and chile rios or something like that. Not good at all. Food was meh, service was less. Gorgeous view. Disappointing because this place used to have amazing food and service.

   I booked an outdoor table at Sanderlings in Aptos, California, only to learn upon arrival that their “reservations” for patio seating are neither guaranteed nor managed—an unclear policy that left several parties, including mine, waiting and frustrated. Service was painfully slow. After being seated, I waited 45 minutes before my party’s order was taken and another 30 minutes just to receive a glass of wine and our meals. While the food itself was enjoyable and the ocean view is spectacular, the lack of communication and attentiveness overshadowed the experience. Sanderlings has all the makings of a top-tier seaside restaurant—stunning location, quality cuisine—but must urgently reassess its reservation procedures and staff responsiveness to deliver an experience worthy of its setting.

   Thank you for your detailed feedback, John. We sincerely apologize for the confusion around our patio seating policy and the delays you experienced during your visit. While we’re glad you enjoyed the food and ocean view, it’s clear that our service and communication fell short. Your comments are being shared with our management team for immediate review, and we appreciate you taking the time to help us improve.

   I made reservations 2 weeks in advance to have dinner here for my birthday. We were coming from out of town and just staying at the resort one night. Very long story short, 2 hours later and 2 check in with the hostess later we never were sat. We ended up getting food at the bar where live music was playing and it ended up okay but I was really disappointed as part of the reason we booked the resort was the view of the restaurant. The hostesses seemed new and overwhelmed. Bummed we didn’t get to eat here.

   Nice setting. Food was a solid ok. Service was slow, seems like the servers were confused and slammed. Waited for ever for everything.

   We celebrated our friend’s 90th birthday at Sanderlings. We were offered a special table with an ocean view. The ambiance was great and the staff were the best, especially our server! Our birthday girl received an amazing olive oil flourless chocolate cake from Sanderlings! It was a delicious dessert to top off an amazing meal!

   Thank you, Betty! We're honored you chose Sanderlings to celebrate such a special milestone. It’s wonderful to hear that the ocean view, warm ambiance, and attentive service made the occasion memorable—and we're so glad the chocolate cake was a hit! We hope to welcome you all back again soon.

   The lobster and scallops smelled like ammonia. Cod dish came out cold

   VERY overpriced brunch. Would have loved an omelet bar, juice included with brunch price, fresh seafood selection, better breads and pastries. Some items were good but not for that price.

   Thank you for your feedback, Laura. We’re sorry to hear the brunch didn’t meet your expectations in terms of value. Your suggestions are appreciated and will be shared with our team as we continue to refine our offerings. We hope to have the chance to serve you again with an improved experience.

   The food was good, limited choices and pricey. The problem wasn’t just high cost but it felt like you were sitting in a coffee shop paying $40 and up for a plate of fancy food. The atmosphere didn’t match the menu at all. It was a good meal but I honestly would go back. Either change the decor or change the menu. Service was friendly but slow.

    Unbeatable view and much improved menu and food from last visit. Really hopeful that our fabulous neighborhood restaurant is back on the top of the list!
