Socrates' Secret - Santa Cruz

The food was delicious and the atmosphere was great. They offer games and books, which I really enjoyed. I love eating here when I'm in the area, and the prices are affordable.

I want to thank Socrates' Secret for the amazing and unique snack I had last Monday while waiting for a friend. The Chicken Gyro Special was not your average snack - it was filling and healthy! The staff was very friendly and the Iranian Dates Smoothie was the perfect refreshing drink to cool me down on a hot afternoon. Another one of Socrates' secrets revealed! #Mediterraneanfood #Greekhealthydining @Laguna Central Paseo De Santa Rosa.

During my recent visit with my mom, we were initially greeted by the loud music coming from the speakers outside the restaurant. However, once we stepped inside, we were promptly accommodated by a friendly staff member who noticed my mom's discomfort with the noise. The restaurant has a charming and cozy atmosphere, with aquamarine decor and owl motifs. It also features a play area for children and offers excellent Wi-Fi connection. The menu at Socrates’ Secret offers a variety of Mediterranean and vegetarian options, as well as halal dishes. We tried the Curry Squash Soup, which was delicious and rich in flavor. The Spinach and Cheese Pizza was tasty, although the dough became a bit hard when it cooled down. The meatballs pasta and Tuna Pasta were both satisfying dishes, with the pasta cooked perfectly and served with delicious sauces. We also ordered the Chicken Gyro to go, which was grilled to perfection. While the food was worth the wait, the service was a bit slow, so pre-ordering is recommended. The restaurant only accepts cash payments, so be sure to bring enough with you, especially if you're dining in a group. Overall, with its delicious food, cozy ambience, and great customer service, Socrates’ Secret is definitely a restaurant worth visiting again.

I was so curious at first why Socrates (what I know is he is a philosopher) ‍and why owls?! When I entered the place, it was so positively cool! I so loved the cool, relaxing Meditteranean colours, design and ambiance! It's so relaxing to stay like one is at home with its reading and play corner for kids. The moussaka was my favorite, plus the pasta and the veggie balls (sorry forgot the name of the dishes), even the smoothies are so refreshing!Kudos to the friendy staff who served us and thanks to the owners who brought the medditerranean taste near our place! Your secrets are revealed! ‍♀️

Read several good reviews about the secret of this restaurant, got curious and went there to discover the secret for ourselves. Good interiors, the kid's corner was a perfect place to keep the little ones busy while moms and dads are enjoying the meals. Though we were not familiar with the menu, we tried several dishes and they were all good! For a picky eater like my husband, this is something worth exploring..A bit pricey but worth the good food, service and ambiance.
