I need suggestions for a great restaurant in Santa Cruz, CA for a romantic,10th anniversary celebration?

I don’t want to drive too far out of Santa Cruz, but I’d like a restaurant that’s kinda fancy, somewhere we can dress up and not stand out; I know that can be hard in California. (I have a hot outfit for the night.)

I’ve done some searching. Any suggestions?

This is probably way too fancy, and it’s about a half hour away, but Manresa has been very highly recommended to me by all the bay area food dorks I know.

Check out Oswald. We had our New Years dinner there in 2010 and it was pretty decent. Definitely dressy, more upscale cuisine.

Sanderlings restro at Aptos’ Seascape’s resort. The cliff side view outside Terrance is gorgeous! Lunchtime? Trying to remember if Terrance outside is open during dinner.
