About Casa Cruz:
Occupying an entire six-story Beaux-Arts townhouse on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, just a stone’s throw from Central Park, Casa Cruz is an exquisitely designed restaurant featuring multiple dining rooms, bars, special event spaces, and a year-round rooftop terrace, Frances at Casa Cruz.

Frances at Casa Cruz:
This enchanting 30-seat rooftop terrace is the first-of-its-kind in the neighborhood. A true hidden gem crowned with a spectacular rose-hued canopy designed by Johanna Ortiz, this year-round oasis features masterful cocktails that rotate seasonally, with an exclusive selection served only on the rooftop.

Nestled atop our year-round rooftop terrace, Frances Winter offers an intimate 30-seat escape, reimagined as a charming chalet-style retreat inspired by Switzerland’s snow-capped peaks. Adorned with plush shearling throws, twinkling lights, and festive décor, it’s the perfect destination to celebrate the winter season and devour seasonal favorites, including our champagne-truffle fondue and signature cocktails like the Alpine Fizz and Après Ski.

Restaurant is beautiful. Drinks were good. However food was mediocre in flavor and thus overpriced.

For a restaurant of such caliber the waitress service should be more refined. Example: if soufflé is offered on the menu and takes a while to prepare, that should be offered upfront with the meal order.

The room was cold. When i left, my feet were frozen. The lunch menu is quite limited. Also, I asked for some gluten-free bread, and they didn't have any. No alternative (crudités usually are proposed in case no GF bread or cracker is available) was offered, which is strange all the more as I also ordered a cheese board. All in all, I was disappointed by the experience that moreover was not cheap at all.

This was mediocre at best - it took forever to get our drinks ; items we ordered never arrived....and we were moved to the bar because the kitchen was closing. My friend dropped her drink and the manager said she had to pay if she wanted a new one..do not select unless you want mediocre everything! There are better restaurants (for less money) and much better food! #disappointing
