What happened after Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives?

On Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives episode 'Twists And Traditions' (aired 2010-03-22), the show featured Aldo's Harbor Restaurant's hearty breakfast plates and fresh seafood specials, served with a view of the boats at Santa Cruz's small-craft harbor. The restaurant is an outdoor, harborside breakfast-and-lunch spot on Mariner Park Way, seating guests on an open deck with no indoor dining room. According to a Yelp listing updated July 2026, the restaurant remains active at 790 Mariner Park Way, with recent photos and reviews posted alongside current hours -- weekdays 10am to 3pm and weekends 8am to 3pm. The Santa Cruz Port District, which manages the harbor property, also lists Aldo's on its own website as an active harbor tenant, though without a specific update date. Because the restaurant is outdoor-only, both listings note that hours can shorten or the restaurant can close early in poor weather.
