"The Crema prix-fixe lunch is an amazing bargain. The food is so wonderfully prepared and so beautifully presented. In the many years I've been coming here, I've NEVER had a bad meal, and that is quite a feat! It's equally lovely for dinner."

"After a recent fantastic brunch at Crema it was time to return for dinner. Our meal was composed largely of the day's specials and a few additions to the menu since my last visit, and was amazing. Sophisitcated and inventive, a party for your palate. Add the friendly, helpful and efficient service and you've got a night to remember."

"This is a regular for us. We've been shut out a couple of times 12- 1ish Sunday without a reservation so it's smart to make one. The food is delicious. The service is attentive and the unlimited mimosas are delicious."

"My first brunch at my go-to for haute Mexican food. Though dinners here have set the bar very high, brunch did not disappoint. Mexican style exggs benedict (w/salmon, zucchini corn cake) was an explosion of flavors and textures. My hard-to-please vegetarian guest had the vegetarian version of the brunch burrito, and could not have been happier. Mexican cuisine for brunch is a great idea when the food is this original and delicious."

"While everything was OK, and service was earnest enough, the NY Times review from 2006 remains true. To paraphrase: "...the story of Crema, which entrances and then disappoints you, its come-on stronger than its follow-through...Ms. Ballesteros's carefully considered recipes aren't being matched by sufficiently careful execution." Even the waitress announced that the food was "heavy," albeit with a smile. We won't be going again...and will be looking for more authentic Mexican cuisine next time anyway."

"I was expecting much more from Crema based on the articles and reviews I have read and a chef from the FCI. First, I'm not sure there was any tequila in our margaritas. We had the grilled vegetable salad appetizer which was good and I'd order it again. For entrees, we shared the duck mole and portobello rellano. The duck itself was tasty but I was surprised by the extreme sweetness of the mole sauce. I liked the portobello rellano. It was a light crispy coating to it, not your usual heavy rellano batter. We also had a side of the corn which was our favorite plate of the night."

"The food was very good, as always, but the restaurant was packed, tables too close together, very noisy and, apparently, is understaffed. Our server declined our request for after meal coffee (part of the brunch package) citing their one hour seating rule. Crema is not organized well enough to enforce such a rule, taking way to long to serve the meal. After we were told we could move to the crowded bar if we wanted coffee (we did not), we then had to wait again for the check...and again for a server to pick up and return the credit card...certainly long enough to have had the coffee we were denied. Too bad this restaurant, which had been an ideal brunch option, has declined so far in service."

"I had been wanting to go to Crema for a while. I finally decided I'd try their brunch. The food is presented well and is good, but boy the service is lacking. We were seated and waited for a waiter for 10 minutes without acknowledgement. Although she was pleasant in taking the order we only saw her when she brought our drinks and refills (that we had to request), and eventually had to flag someone down to pay. Bottom line, I wouldn't go back for lousy service and decent food."

Definitely welcome explosions of flavor from start to finish. Service was excellent - very attentive, nice music mix and a "classic" margarita - old school -- was mixed perfectly. Light & tasty Choco Flan for dessert. First time there -- very pleasantly surprised."

"We went a few days ago for the first time and what an experience it was. We felt welcome the moment we stepped into the restaurant, the host was very nice and sat us promptly, our waitress Erica gave us an introduction of what to expect and she was spot on. The food is a beautiful fusion of mexican and french cuisine. It was the most delicious meal I've ever had. That in addition to outstanding service made our night. Definitely going back for more. The duck mole and the tuna burrito are a must."

"Nice place to go for lunch after visiting the Rubin Museum. The prix-fixe menu had a nice selection but we all ordered a la carte. Good guacamole and chips. I had the burrito de mole poblano with chicken and enjoyed it. Nice presentation. One of my friends enjoyed the quesadilla de carne asada. Lovely service. Worth a visit."

"I've been to Crema several times and have always had a great experience. However, it was unbelievably crowded this last time I went and I wasn't seated close to 30 min after my reservation time (maybe more). Was seated without any menus and service was a little slow in general. They were great about keeping the drinks going, which is always fun. Overall, love the place, but was disappointed this one time."

"Delicious Mexican cuisine. My only issue was that the service was too friendly. I like a waiter to know when to leave the table alone :)"
