Whilst there have been some poor reviews of La Cruz in recent months, things seem to have turned a corner with the introduction of "Tim's Kitchen". Rather than the tapas selection served previously, the menu now caters for much broader tastes (with a slight lean towards seafood perhaps).
We were warmly welcomed upon arrival and shown to our table. The premises is split into two distinct sections, with the bar and a few tables in one half and pure dining in the other. The decor is modern and stylish whilst maintaining some degree of character. We learnt that the restaurant was fully-booked, so I enquired as to whether there were two sittings (and if we'd be rushed out). Thankfully they will only book one sitting per table per night, so your table is yours as long as you want it.
The wine menu was perfectly acceptable, offering a range between around £13-20 per bottle.
The menu offered a fantastic selection and was nicely complemented by the specials. Once ordered, we were treated to a complimentary amuse bouche of smoked haddock, potato and cream (delicious) before the food arrived. I won't go into vast detail about the food, but safe to say it was fantastic. The presentation was lovely, the flavours complex and there were sated grins from both sides of the table.
The service was friendly and welcoming, the atmosphere was cozy and warm and the night genuinely couldn't have been better. We'll be returning. read more
