A word from de la Cruz Bistro

Forget all the fancy, schmancy restaurants and get back to basics.. that's what De la Cruz is all about - elegance and simplicity in contemporary dining. Located directly across from the Mesa Arts Center, Mesa's own award winning Chef Brian Banasek has returned with a re-designed menu that takes… simple contemporary American cuisine that are accented by flavors that mom wishes she could make! An original, exciting martini list is accompanied by a meticulously designed wine list that highlights many of the finer wineries that the new world has to offer. Come as you like: suit and tie or jeans and t. De la Cruz is that spot that you want to hang out at. Great food, stellar drinks in a laid-back atmosphere.Continued

"Wonderful Sunday Brunch on Easter. With the exception of the pre-made eggs benedict (very tough muffin underneath), the food was fabulous. Made-to-order omelet was light & fluffy with just the right amount of veggies & cheese. Grilled meats were smoky & flavorful. Good cheese tray. Finished the meal with the most delicious bite-sized pastries (key lime tart, nut bars, chocolate cake, truffles, etc.) And let's not forget the bottomless mimosas for $10! We will definitely be back."

"To start, they didn't have our reservation. It took more than 10 minutes to get service even though they were not busy at all. The table next to us got up and left because they weren't receiving any service either. The food certainly did not make up for the poor service. All in all, it was a very negative experience."

"ate here twice, once for dinner and once for brunch. Dinner and wine selection was very nice. Food was tasty and everyone at our table shared their selections, always a good sign.
Brunch was a bit uninspired. frozen chicken wings. a bit picked over selection by the time we got there.
Reservations for dinner were not electronic, and they did not have a record of us for a reservation, but had no trouble getting a table. Staff friendly and took good care of us. Outside patio was heated with heaters and looked inviting. We sat inside at the bar area. perhaps a poorer choice."

"The food was excellent, the service was friendly and informative. We were not sure what to expect, and were pleasantly surprised. The Pork Belly hours devours were not at all greasy, and quite flavorful. The Escolar was delicious, and the Strawberry swirl cheesecake made for a decadent finish to our evening. We will return."

"Overall this place was cute. The food was good, but I was disappointed that on Sunday it is all day buffet. I made reservations in between their breakfast buffet and their lunch buffet. I am not a big fan of buffets and was disappointed that their website did not state this clearly enough."
