Pino Alto Cabrillo College - Aptos

I had never been to lunch at Pino Alto, only dinner. It was AMAZING! Honestly, the most delicious fish tacos I've ever had (and I've had many! . Portions were huge! We're going back soon!

This was my first time there. The menu options are few, but there were good vegetarian and seafood choices, and even the (excellent cauliflower soup was available in a vegetarian form. The food arrived at a slow pace, making for a very leisurely meal, but the service was otherwise excellent. They served an amuse bouche and palate cleanser sorbet between courses. The food was very good to excellent. The sea bass entree was on the pricy side, but it came plated at reasonable size, with accompanying vegetable, and included soup or salad. Plus we saved a lot bringing our own wine (no corkage fee! . The dining room is elegant and intimate, although perhaps a little too quiet at times. Overall, an elegant night out that felt like a special treat without breaking the bank.

Great outdoor seating with heaters. The food and service was great!

Dining at Pino Alto was a delightful experience! The restaurant is located in a lovely historic building with a pretty view of trees and garden. The menu is sophisticated and updated, the prices are reasonable and the service is very good. The food was very tasty, and our extra needs to accommodate diet requirements were met. I love giving these culinary students an opportunity to sharpen their skills and enjoy good cuisine at the same time. I will definitely recommend this place to many!

Over the years we have eaten there often. the food we enjoyed a few days ago was the best with most sorts. there was something for everyone at the table. the service was better than usual.
