    This was mediocre at best - it took forever to get our drinks ; items we ordered never arrived....and we were moved to the bar because the kitchen was closing. My friend dropped her drink and the manager said she had to pay if she wanted a new one..do not select unless you want mediocre everything! There are better restaurants (for less money) and much better food! #disappointing

    The service was not what is expected in a place that claims to have the highest standards in a Manhattan eatery , not only that the staff serving is less than stellar but after sending an email to the general manager making him aware of the situation and requesting a follow up to a chain of errors in their check on 1/3/25 I still waiting for a reply !

    Our waitress was really good but one of the employees was very rude towards us. She frowned her face at us several times and was a little aggressive with her tone and delivery. In one of my videos I took you can clearly she her distaste with us being there.

    We celebrated our wedding anniversary at Casa Cruz, and it couldn’t have been more perfect. The restaurant is set in a gorgeous six-story Beaux-Arts townhouse, and the intimate dining room on the third floor where we ate was absolutely stunning. With its rich wood-paneled walls, soft lighting, and an elegant centerpiece, the space felt warm, glamorous, and just the right amount of fancy for a special night out. The service was flawless. Our server struck the perfect balance between professionalism and warmth, offering thoughtful recommendations and ensuring that our every need was met. Her attention to detail made us feel celebrated throughout the evening, and we were pleasantly surprised with complimentary champagne to toast our anniversary at the meal’s conclusion—a touch that felt both personal and luxurious. We will certainly return to Casa Cruz.
