Alderwood Santa Cruz Reviews from The Last Year
Service was great, but the food had my partner and I pretty
Service was great, but the food had my partner and I pretty disappointed. It was our 1st anniversary and we had head great things from friends + Michelin Guide, so thought this spot would be worth the trip. Oysters (4/5): very fresh and go down extremely smoothly with the sauces provided Crab Beignet (3/5): Fancier term for a crab cake. Felt pretty average for a crab cake, though fresh! Cocktail (4/5): Good cocktail overall! Very rich and deep. I believe this is the Director's Cocktail? It's decorated with a pineapple Pesto Pasta w/ mushrooms (2/5): was pretty disappointed in this dish as the noodles were overcooked. The mushrooms were good though. Steak (3/5): nothing too special about the steak. Was juicy, but didn't melt in mouth and quite chewy. This was a cute and classy Californian spot, but the food didn't live up to what we were fully hoping for unfortunately.
They don't offer inexpensive options anymore.
Go somewhere else. Waste of money and time.
It is absolutely one of the best meals my wife and I have
It is absolutely one of the best meals my wife and I have had. The meal was cooked to perfection. The waitress was pleasant and very helpful in the selection process. I was so taken back at the quality I personally thanked the chef. Highly recommend going.
super expensive, slow service, and not worth it.
See the menu before going to this establishment. Dont take kids, and be prepared to be hungry after eating there. they have steaks for $165 plus. I'm not sure why this place is still in business. I should have left as soon as I sat down.
It very unfortunate how a potentially successfully
It very unfortunate how a potentially successfully establishment is completely left in unprofessional hands. I've been here at least 5 times since opened, and even if the service was never the highlight, the overall experience of the only "hi-end" option in Santa Cruz, and the quality of the food made me always came back. After Thursday, I'm not sure anymore. Long short story: closing time is at 9pm (like most spots in Santa Cruz, unfortunately). I walked in at 8:30, seated at the bar with a friend... ignored for about 10 min by the staff (not really busy, there was still a couple at the bar and two table seated). After 15 min, one of the girl came and said (politely) "I'm sorry we are closed, but I can whip up a quick drink if you want". Now, I understand the client that show up 30 min before closing is not the most welcome, but basally wait to interact until refuse the service (reasonable when it's only 15 min before closing) it's just wrong.
This is our second time here.
The first time was in 2019, right when Alderwood opened. Now, in 2024, they still do not disappoint t. The food was magnificent and delicious. We sate at the chef's counter, we were able to observe all of the unique servings and platters that they offer. Being out of town, coming here is always a special treat. We will be sure to return soon!
Service: .
.... this is the true reason why I'm finally writing a review after so many years and visits. The service is and always has been AWFUL. It's actually disturbing. Every staff member almost hates the customers, or their job and it's a side effect from their disgust with having to be at work. You will be left waiting over 20 min for a drink order then another 20 for the drink - no matter a glass of wine or cocktail. Further, they don't know their menu because the turn over is so high or because they truly don't care to learn. Beyond that there's an air of hostility, so bizarre. And this is throughout the staffing! Food: average, the menu is constantly restricted -- don't be fooled by the photos you see in the reviews (are these planted by the owners?) I have never seen these items on the menu and I've been to Alderwood around 20+ times over the years. The price is elevated for the subpar food - I can live with that, as that's an individuals choice. Ambiance: I have waited and considered asking for them to just PLAY MUSIC faint light whatever genre so I don't hear constant shouting and ruckus. Also, you'd think they'd have white table cloths down for elegance, but no. Everyone I know is so tired of this, so finally my family friends and I have decided we're done with Alderwood. Go if you'd like, this is just a raw true experiences.
My food was extremely salty.
The drink was pure sugar and ice. After I left the place, I went to eat again somewhere else to take the disappointment from my mouth. I was still hungry. Is a no for me. I wanted to like it but it is a restaurant for people who doesn't care to overpay for average food and pay for ambient and status. 3 stars because employees and ambient were nice and food was average.
Amazing service and those mushrooms are absolutely insane!
Amazing service and those mushrooms are absolutely insane! Lobster role? It was a delicacy. The Caesar salad and the apple and chicory salad were incredible! The large fries with garlic aioli may have made me see god. The server suggested a lovely wine and the duck was very tasty. The steaks were pretty good as well although I was not as impressed with the steaks as with the sides and appetizers. I will come back just for those.
First time at Alderwood after many years of driving by.
Came in for two burgers, $16 each +2 dollars for avocado and got these fancy fried potato things. The experience was great, the entire bar was open, but we got seated rather close to the door, which was OK but it was slightly cold. Staff didn't seem like they wanted to chat, which is fine, but sometimes it's fun to chat, especially at the bar, and we're going to tip you 20% no matter what, so at least put some effort in, especially if it's not busy. The personality of staff alone knocks a star off what would've been a five star review.

Great Service - amazing dinner!!
Read about the site in NYT and bought a reservation at Mother Wolf in LA 2 days later. Worked great and the food was amazing!!!
Worked perfectly!
Got the reservation (that I couldn't get anywhere else) and was able to entertain a group of friends at the infamous Bern's Steakhouse.
Got into Nobu Malibu
Wonderful! My parents are visiting and we have wanted to go to Nobu Malibu for years. I tried getting a reservation myself but it was next to impossible. So glad I was able to buy a reservation on appointment trader for a decent price!
Very easy
Was very hesitant going into this experience but am glad to say that it worked out very well ! will definitely use appointment trader in the future
Fabulous Lunch
I was veeeeeerry skeptical that this would work, particularly at a restaurant as hard to get into as Nobu Malibu, and it was perfect! We had lunch outside on the patio and it was fabulous!
Great reviewer team
Just wanted to take a second to shout out the reviewer team. Even though they probably review hundreds of listings and bids a day, they still take the time to leave great comments and respond relatively quickly. Thanks!
Incredible
I got a reservation to Don Angie, which I've been trying to book for weeks! I am very happy with this service.
Best platform out there!
Super simple, easy, and fast to secure reservations for hard-to-get restaurants and locations!
This app is life changing
This app has opened my world up to so many wonderful new experiences I would never have the chance to have without access to this awesome app! 10/10!
Worked perfectly
Was a little nervous at first but was pleased to see that the booking went through flawlessly.
Highly recommended.
Success on Short Notice
Was able to snag an indoor table at Don Angie through an absolutely seamless worry-free process.
Worked perfectly, thank you!
This is a crazy holiday season in NYC and I was very pleasantly surprised to see that AppointmentTrader works! Will be using again!
Worked flawlessly!
Worked so well! I was a bit nervous, but everything went very smoothly. purchased the reservation, and got into the restaurant seamlessly.
Love this app!
So glad I came across this app :)
Quick table in Miami
I didn’t have my hopes high as it was a party of 4. In 24 hours I had a carbone reservation available! I was very happy as my family really wanted to come here
Prime time, great meal
So easy and had a prime time which I can never seem to get on normal res apps. So worth it
Got impossible NYC res
instead of waiting weeks I got my 4 charles reservation instantly
Worked perfectly to get into Carbone. So delighted
perfect
Worked well, got me into a restaurant with no availability
I was skeptical, and I still don't really know how they managed to find this hard-to-find reservation, but it was a win-win from my point of view, and I'll use this service again.
Last minute reservation for Delilah Las Vegas
Got a last minute reservation, dinner for 2 at Delilah Las Vegas: super impressed! The process was simple, transaction seamless. We had an amazing time! Couldn’t be happier! 😍
It works!
Ok at this point I've attended a reservation purchased on AT by a friend and sold a reservation personally. Both worked pretty smoothly, nothing sketchy about it. A few areas for improvement including a way to more directly communicate between buyers and sellers, but the app always seems to be in development. AT customer support is really(!) responsive and helpful too if you have questions!
Money transfer
As a seller, I like the fact i have the ability now to transfer money out of my AT account and into a bank account. Makes getting the money much easier then the process before.
Love this app
Got to go to places otherwise unreachable
Easy Access
Very easy to get into one of the hardest restaurants to reserve in New York.
Whose name will my reservation be under when I arrive at the venue?
It can be under your name or a name you choose! Some reservation offers already include the AppointmentTrader Transfer Service which will transfer the reservation in to your name. If its not included you can add it on after buying the reservation for a small fee. One thing on that though: As many reservations become available at last minute, taking a reservation in someone else name is quick and great for privacy. Most reservations on AT are listed with a virtual phone number, so all you need to do is present the phone number at the hostess stand and you are good to go!
Appointment
I was waiting on the transfer for name but it hasn’t happened yet and my reservation is tonight , will it be an issue that is hasn’t changed into my name yet
Buyers interested in Bern's Steakhouse: PLEASE READ
Same goes for 4 Charles and I Sodi
Prepaid Reservation Fee
Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.
Just got scammed!
Thats unfortunate but you can always get your money back if they cancel the reservation.
Congrats on 3 mil
🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🧨🧨🧨 now on to 30 mill!
Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it?
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid?
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted.
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered?
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
