I had eaten at de la Cruz when they first opened for lunch with some friends. Al though the food was ok the service was well below par. Half of our order never got to the kitchen and one of our party had to get to the airport. The waiter and chef apologized profusely and gave us a free dessert.
As a result I had not been back for some time. I like the other restaurants run by this family so when I saw a Groupon I figured I'd give it another try. My husband and I went on a Thursday night. I made a reservation as the Groupon requested. The place was not crowded when we arrived and we were seated promptly and a waitress arrived for our drink orders and with bread pronto.
I had the filet and my husband had a seafood pasta. both were well prepared. The portions were generous. My husband ordered a piece of chocolate cake which was the only thing that was just ok.
I will return for dinner or lunch.
