    Pretty Disappointing. We had a reservation for another part of casa Cruz (floor 2) and they placed us on the terrace (Frances). An absolute misleading. Different atmosphere different menu. When I ask why is that they told me that they are sorry but the second floor is closed for an event ?! No one reached out to inform about this event. We paid 320$ for food we did not want to eat and did not enjoy plus 80$ Uber. Good job !

    Overall it was a nice experience. However would like to offer some constructive criticism. Welcome staff was under staffed, or under trained. There were many people arriving and they couldn’t keep up with the customers, checking in. They required us to check our coats, however on the top floor it is was cold because of the exterior temps. It was beautiful, but chilly. My wife tried to keep her coat, but they required her to check it. However, the couple who sat next to us, kept their coats on. Just seems a bit odd that the policy isn’t uniformly enforced. Waitress was curt. Professional, but curt. No personality, almost impatient. Just straight business. Food was excellent, ambiance was great. Just need to work on reading the customers a little better.

    I honestly was so shook at how like underwhelming the food was. I only liked the soufflé and the steak tartare. The meals were extremely subpar. The pasta was super doughy. Also, a good majority of the food for my party of 8 came out lukewarm
