    I reserved a table at CRU Friday night so that I could ask my friends to by my bridesmaids! I mentioned on the reservation if it would be possible to have my bridesmaid boxes on the table. The manager/waitress went above and beyond to make this special for me! They were so excited for us and even gifted us free champagne! Seriously the nicest/ most genuine staff I have ever had the pleasure to meet! They made that night so special for me and it is something I will always remember! Definitely will be back! Best service!

    I had brunch/lunch here and the price was surprisingly affordable. The food was immaculate and tasted great. Portion size was appropriate for the price. Service was prompt and professional.

    My wife, daughter and I had a fantastic dinner here with good service. My wife enjoyed a glass of merlot with her entree and loved me for bringing them here. Great ambiance inside and out. Because my wife and I have been recipients of kindness, we like to pay it forward ourselves. The manager was very accommodating. We recommend CRÚ and will certainly return again!

    Amazing evening at the restaurant. We stopped in for dessert and wine before our show. The 20 year port was amazing , and the chocolate fondue was delicious. Servers were wonderful as well.

    The location and atmosphere are great. The service was confusing. Arrived around 6 to find the inside pretty much empty. All but one table empty. The host said people were there but I couldn't see them. Sat at the bar and got a bottle of wine. Much of it I had to pour myself. Left a couple of hours later to see many of the tables still empty. During that time, the host turned away couples looking for a table. Never seen a restaurant turn away patrons so as not to disturb ghosts at tables.

    I've been here several times for wine tasting, champagne tasting with light meals, and breakfast, and the experience on each occasion superceded the previous. They always strive to raise the bar here, from the ever hands-on hosts and waiters/waitresses to the meals. They have a great variety of menus options, and the location is just perfect. Plus, their patio is the icing on the cake. It's an absolute delight! Highly recommend.

    Upon entering Cru Food and Wine Bar, I was immediately struck by the lack of a hostess at the entrance. A long 5-minute wait before anyone acknowledged my presence certainly set a less-than-stellar first impression. As for the dining experience, while the Waygu Meatballs and Lobster & Shrimp potstickers showed promise in terms of flavor, they couldn't compensate for the poor service. Our waiter was noticeably unfriendly and lacked engagement, which hampered our overall dining experience. Told the waiter it was our first time, but he never acknowledged it. Missed the opportunity to tell us about the restaurant. To add to the disappointment, the presence of flies and fruit flies throughout the evening was both bothersome and unappetizing. This visit left much to be desired. If not for the food, I would have rated this visit one star. Visited the restaurant on Sunday, August 6, 2023.

    Celebrated our birthdays at this beautiful place. It opened at 3, so we had it all to ourselves for awhile! Really great food and Eric, the manager came over and had a nice chat with us.

    Loved this little hot spot in the Shops of Legacy! T.J. the bartender, Bri, the assistant manager and Eric the owner were all super attentive to guests and made us feel like family. Infact we liked it so much we returned with friends on Saturday for the live entertainment!

    The flights are equivalent to a glass of wine, buy you getbto experience 3 wines. I was impressed that that actually provide an info card providing a description of the wines. Somewhat of a winery experience in the city.

    I haven’t been to Cru in a few months, but walking in it felt very heart warming. TJ at the wine bar greeted me and felt very welcoming. Definitely a great spot to go for dinner, wine, night out. The black truffle ravioli was delicious and would order again!

    This place is disgusting. We had a reservation for Valentines Day, they were serving a four course meal. Staff was very nice. I don't know what was going on in the kitchen, but the food was disgusting and took forever. Mind you, they had a limited menu because of the holiday. Food was coming out slow, which is crazy because the first course was lobster bisque (that was the literal only option) and it took forever to come out, EVEN THOUGH it was a SHOT GLASS of soup. I'm not being funny, it was literally a shot glass of soup. The risotto was incredibly sour. The mashed potatoes tasted like Instant Mashed Potatoes, the ones you buy from the store that come in a pouch and you mix them with hot water. The pot stickers were disgusting and the only food item that came out hot. It was just a hot mess. We were so annoyed we took the desserts to go, so we could leave faster to go anywhere else. Huge waste of time and money. Edited to Add: I was told to email for a resolution, no response to my email. Still. I emailed them, twice, on Feb 16 and Feb 23... it's Mar 8.

    Really excellent small plate offerings. The goat cheese beignet and the meatballs were outstanding (there are two meatballs, but in the pic i had already devoured one of them). Wine is a bit overpriced, but it's how they make their money, so not a big deal. If not for the overly loud Dr and his friends trying to one up each other with their name/location/spending stories, it would have been perfect. We will def be back, but we will go a bit earlier to get a patio seat.

    The food is mid; stick to the wine. My friends and I came for restaurant week, and the atmosphere was nice; our server started off good, but that didn’t last long. She kept disappearing, and we had to get up and go get her even though it was slow, so I don’t really get that. The food was very bland, my favorite being the lobster and shrimp potstickers. The scallops and risotto were extremely bland, and the chocolate cake and crème brûlée weren’t good. Overall, this is my second Cru location with mid-food, so I’m convinced to skip the meals and only order wine.

    This is one of our favorite cozy date-night wine bar/eatery! The staff and the atmosphere is amazing. And the food and wine selection is superb.

    From the time we entered to the time we walked out it was an incredible experience! I needed a place close to the fountain down the street to propose to my girlfriend. Cru really went above and beyond to make our first experience with them a memorable one! The waitstaff was super kind and anticipated our every need! We met the chef that prepared our food! The GM, Paul Castro is such a high class individual. He really made us feel like we were his number one customer! Thank you Paul for creating an atmosphere that set the tone for the perfect engagement! We are so grateful to you and your staff for such a wonderful experience at your restaurant! We will most definitely be back!

    We tried the special 3 course set today, love the scallop! The wine is great too.

    Went to have dinner with my best friend and we both enjoyed their wine flights! The rose flight and Cabernet flights were perfect! The risotto is delicious as well as the lobster and shrimp potstickers. Great service! Thank you to our server from Egypt, name started with an “E”, he was amazing, made the best recommendations and was very attentive.

    Very nice experience. Large wine selection. The truffle fondue was delicious! Will definitely be back.

  • 5/5 Pla J. 2 years ago on Google
    Love this place… this is the one out of many restaurants that we both go all the time when we want like easy quick good dinner together. Good food, good service and good environment… what else you can ask for ?

  • 1/5 Jasmine F. 1 year ago on Google
    The ambiance is nice but our server (Robinson) was not personable at all. He was demeanor was so dry but when I observed his service towards white patrons at the bar, he was much A LOT more lively with them. I told my friend to turn around and observe him and she noticed the same. It’s a shame for real. The appetizers were really good (meatballs and calamari). But my pizza wasn’t all that. My friend had the fillet mignon, she asked for medium well and it was over cooked. The potato it came with was tasteless.

    Five stars for service and wine selection! Mara provided excellent service and was so genuine and sweet(yes we told her boss) . The wine list is really nice, great selection of flights. The ambience here is really excellent. The food is more 4 star...but really you're there for the wine...the food is the necessary evil. Lol. The meatballs were very tasty. I'd like to see an improvement on the charcuterie board, perhaps add a mild cheese rather than two pungent cheeses. But really...that's trivial. We had a lovely evening and will definitely return.

    Been here twice and sat outside each time. The food comes relatively quick, and even outside will stay nice and hot depending on what you order. Overall a great atmosphere, and they have a nice wine list to choose from if that's your thing.

  • 5/5 Steven M. 2 years ago on Google
    As a wine lover I knew I was going to enjoy myself; what I didn't expect was the level of customer care and quality of the food. From the moment we walked in we were treated like the only customers there. Our server, Marissa, was friendly, funny, and knowledgeable about the wines. We never waited for a water top-off or to have dishes cleared. And the food was delicious; we didn't think the lobster & shrimp potstickers would work, but then we fought over the last one - I could have made an entire meal of them. We had the Chicken piccata and Butchers pizza as entrees; you almost expect food at a wine bar to be subpar since there's alcohol involved but that's not the case at Crú, this was one of the best meals I've had in a long time.

    This place is wonderful! Atmosphere is chill and cool but the staff is also really friendly. Juan knows what he is doing and what he is talking about, and you can tell making the customers happy is his main priority. Food is pretty good, some French classics and some twists, and for their prices it’s 100% worth it.

  • 5/5 Vincent S. 2 years ago on Google
    The service here is absolutely amazing. Our server, Mara, was so genuine, attentive, and knowledgeable! My boyfriend and I have such different wine tastes and she was able to give stellar recommendations for the both of us. Sean, the GM, was also so personable and kind. Please don’t hesitate to have a wine night here!
