Casa Cruz

"Food was fine. Atmosphere was a bit dead (went at 8pm on a Saturday night, maybe it was a bit early, but I would have expected more fun from a December evening so close to the holidays). Wine list wasn't super inspiring (like, they had Whispering Angel as their rosé). We sat down, the host informed us we had 2.5 hours at our table. I don't love when restaurants begin the interaction this way (tacky) but fine, that's a long time to eat dinner. After 2 hours, we had just ordered another bottle of wine and were about to order dessert when the manager informed us that the next table had arrived and we would need to leave. The bar is tiny and half the restaurant was booked for a birthday party, so there wasn't really a place for him to put us. It was just awkward. Then, they sent over the next party to hover awkwardly near our table while we were wrapping up. It was just super bizarre. The only time I've ever experienced this was in a random diner in NY in 2012. I know it's London so we have to discount the service level by at least 50%, but it was just embarrassing. Hopefully they get it together for the NY location."

"excellent food was really good ambiance was great beautiful place staff were friendly"

"The interiors were stunning, lots of attention to detail and you could say an « instagramable » location. We sat in the beautiful terrace upstairs. Although everything tasted good, it was just too pricey for the portion. I ordered the Sole and got 4 thin slices. I understand that the market is though and all the prices went up but I really could not justify this one."

"We went for a celebration and the restaurant did not disappoint. The meat was cooked to perfection and the sides we chose were great. We went for the domino potatoes and corn. The service was good as there were not a lot of people to attend. Would definitely be back!"

"Had the most amazing dinner last Sunday!! The food was just superb - quality ingredients, such a unique and interesting menu, with lots to pick from. Also loved that they had so many halal options! The blackened chicken and humita spiced corn were our favs! Desserts were fab too, especially the lemon Madeleines. Above all, the service of the waiters and manager was fantastic, they really went up and above to make our evening comfortable - they did everything right, from talking us through the menu, making sure we were seated comfortably by the fire, took pictures for us and most of all, they were so friendly! We were there from 7pm till closing, we were literally the last to leave, not once did they rush us, or even ask for payment! They were so polite and such a cheerful team! Definitely recommend this place, the service and the food!"
