    Pasta Rosettes, pasta w bolognese sauce, pork mole, all desserts were delicious. Chicken parm was a little dry and chicken soup was ok. Service was slow and one of our orders came late but all of our servers were nice, attentive and kept water for the table coming.

    Never disappointed when dining at Cafe Cruz…we were celebrating our anniversary and were offered a complimentary glass of bubbly…the mahi mahi was cooked to perfection and I think they have the best salad menu in Santa Cruz.

    The food and service were great! We shared the focaccia bread, the arugula salad and the mushroom ravioli with chicken apple sausage. All were excellent. I recommend this restaurant.

    I found this little gem quite by accident. It's a tiny restaurant ( maybe 10 tables, half of which are two seaters), but they make up in excellence what they lack in space. I was surprised to see a full menu with a wide variety of appetizers, main dishes, and desserts. They even start the meal with a tasty lagniappe of frio mashed potatoe balls with a delectable dipping sauce. The meal was excellent (I had the wild salmon) and I will definitely be back to further explore their diverse, tantalizing menu. Dina was my server, And she was as efficient as she was friendly. So happy that I happened upon this little dining jewel in Santa Cruz.
