Occupying an historic six-story Beaux-Arts townhouse on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, Casa Cruz New York is an exquisitely-designed restaurant featuring multiple dining rooms, bars, and special event spaces, as well as a year-round rooftop terrace, Frances at Casa Cruz—the first-of-its-kind in the neighborhood. Cuisine designed by Michelin Star chef John Fraser is met with masterful cocktails, a curated wine list, and posh interiors for a glamorous dining experience like none other in Manhattan.

DINING

A feast for the senses at every turn, the interior of the House offers a more formal dining experience, set to a backdrop of rich green textiles, Brazilian cherry wood paneling, copper finishes, and original artworks by Keith Haring, Andy Warhol, and Louise Giovanelli. Rustic Josper charcoal oven specialties, such as split Scottish langoustines and California quail, are a central focus of the Fraser-designed menu, along with updated presentations of Upper East Side classics infused with global influences.

COCKTAILS & NIGHTLIFE

Located on the sixth floor overlooking East 61st Street, Frances at Casa Cruz is an exquisite 30-seat rooftop terrace, named after the original lady of the manor, New York socialite Frances Walker. Crowned with a spectacular rose-hued canopy designed by Johanna Ortiz, this enchanting year-round oasis features masterful seasonal cocktails and a relaxed Coastal Mediterranean menu designed by Michelin Star chef John Fraser that emphasizes pristine ingredients, simply prepared. Guests can enjoy a robust raw bar selection, and elevated snacks, and charcoal grilled selections from the land, air and sea for an al fresco experience that defines relaxed elegance.
