Unpleasant place. One staff member spoke poor English, and was an extremely awkward person, and kept getting our order wrong and giving us incorrect information. Another was crying. Some dishes are good, but most are not - they are badly designed, not well cooked, or actually unpleasant. The expensive wine we had was dull. The interior is impressively furnished, but it is a great relief to escape all the mirrors and claustrophobia onto the terrace. I wouldn't recommend Casa Cruz - it has an unpleasant ambiance, with little positive about it - just not worth it.
My family of five walked in after being at Wembly Stadium, we were casual to say the least. They treated us very kindly, the food and drinks were incredible. Our favorites were the lamb shoulder, truffle pasta, and cocktails (virgin too). I could eat there every day, great spot.
Don’t recommend anyone to go to this restaurant. The place was empty, literally for the whole time we were there. The food took almost 50 minutes to come, when it reached my steak was brought to me in the wrong temperature and all the meat dishes we ordered had absolutely no seasoning or taste. The disappointment came more when the waiter reacted poorly to our suggestion on the food, saying they’ve never received a complain before and that this was ‘just how the food is’. And the cherry on top was the unimaginable price for the food! It was definitely a rip off and If the management is reading this. I really recommend you start making some immediate changes otherwise this won’t be the last bad review.
Unless this place improves the quality of the food considerably I predict it’ll shut down relatively swiftly. We ordered the beef filet and the sole and both tasted quite off. Edible but that’s about it. Appetisers were relatively better but still average at best.
Beautiful place nearby the Notting Hill, with a cosy terrace. Exceptional food, wine and drinks; professional and friendly staff. The most of the dishes are to share, so you can taste them all at the same time. Perfect for romantic dinner and family/friends nights.
