We had a beautiful dinner at Vinocruz. Their meatballs were so good and I could not believe how delicious the Brussell sprouts with grits were. We had a board with cheeses and meat, very nice. The service is amazing! Whenenver I come back to Santa Cruz, Vinocruz will be part of my itinerary!

I am sorry to have to post this, but I feel like I would have wanted an honest review to follow. Maybe it was the time of day we went at 3pm on a Tuesday during Happy Hour (glasses of “vino” not included), but the food and service was lackluster to say the least. The man behind the bar admitted not knowing what he was doing. The food was bland af. He asked how it was and I told him it was so so and used the universal hand gesture to confirm what I was saying and he just walked away. Never asked what was wrong (no salt, everything was dry and mushy). The owner was sitting at the end just staring at my husband after she caught on that we were not digging it. We felt very unwelcome like we just walked into someone’s personal home office. They charged us full price. We did not tip. I’m so disappointed to write this and I hope this helps the restaurant improve. The outside and decor inside was lovely.

Dining companion had the house salad with fish adder as a protein – salad was fine, but the fish was burnt. Not blackened, burnt – as in smelled burnt and black in color.

I had a great experience at Vino Cruz with my party of 6 +1 baby. They were very accommodating and even gave us an extra glass of rosé because they didn’t hear one of our orders (which they quickly got out to us after we mentioned). The food was also fabulous. We got the cheese plate and 2 flat bread pizzas and crab cakes. Every glass of wine we had was beautiful too. Lovely relaxing atmosphere as well. Highly recommend this place.

Stopped in here for burger week. Out of the four burgers we’ve had this week, this was the best, very tasty set of fixings on it, and a perfectly cooked medium rare patty of high quality meat. Meat. I particularly like the chili scented fingerling potatoes as an alternative to french fries, they weren’t at all greasy, the chili scenting was very subtle, but just a nice touch. Could have been a couple more potatoes but hey can’t have everything.

Wonderful experience at Vino Cruz, made extra special by personal attention from the manager, Sally. We feasted on rosemary roasted nuts while sipping our wine in the lovely outdoor seating area. Their menu is more vast than we had realized, we will come back for lunch soon.

Big shout out to Sally, the manager at Vinocruz! Sally took care of the Strock team from the moment we walked in the door – she even made us a welcome sign! The service was outstanding, the food was delicious, and the wine/beer selection was the perfect combination for our team. We will be back!!
