Cafe Cruz's food, service, ambiance is always consistent. It is a wonderful place to enjoy with friends, family, or even an intimate romantic meal for two. I've never had a bad meal here.

Beautiful interior and a charming outdoor patio (where we chose to eat). Service was attentive, but not cloying. Water glasses were promptly refilled. Two people ordered the pork chops (with garlic and lemon flavored mashed potatoes and summer squash). One person ordered the roast chicken. The chicken portion was huge and the chicken was perfectly moist. The pork chops were a bit dry, but otherwise well-seasoned. Dessert of Polar Bear lemon sorbet was a very serving and a lovely end to a first-rate dinner.

We chose patio dining on a beautiful Santa Cruz evening. We were with another couple that we hadn't seen in a long time and we never felt rushed and yet our server was attentive. Our meals were delicious. My friend kept raving about her swordfish and were equally pleased with our papardelle bolognese. Cafe Cruz never disappoints.

Overall good food, atmosphere is very modest given that this must have been a Denny's at one point.

Cafe Cruz is at its best. It has been around a long time and very good, but lately the food just seems a cut above. We've had some excellent servers too, like Kelly, Nancy and Andrea. Keep up the good work!
Kathryn
Great experience. If you need a variety of food options to appeal to your group, this has it - dinner entrees, dinner-size salads, sandwiches, tacos, etc. We will be back!

Had the roast pork dip. Meat tender but flavorless. Have had more meat on dips at most other restaurants. Dipping sauce was also bland. Not common for you. I usually rave about your food😰

The food was outstanding! We got the oyster appetizer. They were sweet and delicious and refreshing.. my entrée of the Seabass with the mango salsa with satisfyingly delicious and I would definitely get it again. We were there with our children and our waitress, kept bringing us bread and was really present with us.

The service was great. The setting, outside patio was beautiful and some of the food was very good. My salad, blackened fish taco salad was just soap. Fish was good but avocados were not ripe and hard. The tortilla chips were stale. Not the best salad I have had several times.
Dean
My experience was truly outstanding. The staff treated us fantastic and made us fell at home. I would recommend Cafe Cruz to all my family and friends Dean

Amazing food every visit! Don't miss the Cajun deep fried artichoke hearts, the mussels and especially their blackberry bread pudding! Sit in the garden room or outdoor patio main dining room a bit noisy. All the waitstaff friendly and knowledgeable. Dress is casual!
