    Food and service were fabulous! It was our anniversary, so they offered us complimentary champagne at dinner. Definitely will return in the future!

    Cafe Cruz is our special spot when vacationing in La Selva Beach. Great atmosphere and the Filet Mignon was PERFECT. We celebrated our anniversary and had a great experience. Our waiter was attentive and always there when we needed him.

    First visit for a birthday dinner and was disappointed with both the food and service. Two of us ordered the prime NY rotisserie-style steak special which was nearly inedible as tough and extremely over-salted. Our wine and cocktail orders didn’t arrive until dinner was essentially finished, however we were comped for those by the manager. And good luck finding parking! Well rated restaurant and perhaps just an off night, but we wouldn’t recommend.
