"We dined at Lacroix to celebrate a birthday. The entire experience was memorable in an excellent way. The food was incredibly delicious and offered at the appropriate pace. The wait staff was appropriately attentive and friendly. One of the waiters even took a picture of the four of us celebrating. We had an absolutely wonderful time while dining at Lacroix."

"After being seated at a lovely table with a great view over Rittenhouse Square, my wife and I opted for the tasting menu. It turned out to be a wonderful choice. Everything was delightful, particularly the hamachi, mackerel (which I haven't had in years), and the Wagyu beef. A nice bottle of Chateauneuf De Pape was a fine accompaniment. The service was that special combination of friendliness and professionalism that characterizes the finest restaurants. A special evening!"

"The service is superb - perhaps a bit annoyingly over the top - a couple of times the nosy hovering broke into our conversation. The food is NOT worth the price - it's just okay and served in a very pretentious manner. You get much better tasting food at many nearby places - i.e., Amada or Sbraga have far superior food for somewhat less money. La Croix should lose more bells from Le Ban soon!"

"It was very expensive especially since I went on Easter Sunday. I enjoyed my time there and all the waiters were very funny and laid back. They were not stuck up and rude. Omar was an awesome waiter, he had all of us laughing. The food was interesting and good. I wouldn't go back due to the price but I would recommend this place as a nice brunch setting for a gathering of friends"
