    Julie Boston and Ella were outstanding!!! My fiancé and I went here for the first time on New Year’s Eve for a prefix 4 course dinner, the atmosphere was amazing and the food was phenomenal. We would recommend this place 1000%. The service was great and the wine was satisfying.

    Fantastic wine bar! There were so many sharable players that I couldn't decide! The ghost cheese croquettes and the fig & gorgonzola are must haves. The charcuterie plate was good, but don't feel bad if you order a shareable instead of it. The salmon was good. The tuna needed a sauce or drizzle of something to make it "pop", but if you prefer more mild flavors, go for it. I want to try the truffle pizza if I get to go again.

    Absolutely beautiful location for a lovely meal. Warm, welcoming and just a lovely ambience in a small, intimate setting. Tons of wine to choose from as well as fantastic menu. I got the rainbow trout with couscous and my son got the chicken. My coworkers got the filet mignon. We were Absolutely delighted by our meals and the wine choices. The staff were funny, engaging, helpful with wine and food choices, and available without being over bearing. I am supremely impressed by my lunch visit here. Would highly recommend it. It is pricey though but worth every penny!

    The food was sooooo good here! We started out with the Goat Cheese Beignets which were perfectly gooey and crunchy at the same time. My friend had the Steak Frites which she thought was delicious. For my main I had the Shrimp Scampi. The risotto beneath the scampi was super flavorful. We didn't try any desserts but if they are anything like the shareable plates or the mains then I'm sure they are also delicious. We had a little bit of a service snafu because of a switchover but all in all a really good dining experience!

    I Love Cru'! ❤️ The flights are my favorite, especially when I just want to go out for a drink. Sitting outside, sipping, and taking in the atmosphere at the Battery makes it the perfect experience. Thanks to Alex for taking such good care of me!

    CHEYENNE!!! Thank you for a beautiful evening. You don’t know it but it was one of my last nights in town before moving and I enjoyed every moment. Thank you for your excellent service, your joy and passion for wine. Give this gal a raise!

    Visiting from Chicago, I wasn't sure what to expect for food quality, but Crú did not disappoint! The shrimp scampi saffron risotto was delicious! I also got to try some of the truffle pizza which was hard to stop eating. The only thing more welcoming than the food was our server, Aiden, full of charm and southern hospitality! Another server, Ethan, made an excellent wine recommendation that the whole table enjoyed. I will definitely be back next time I am in town! 🥂

    Very cute place at the battery. We had the Waygu meatballs and a pizza and they were both delicious. Their pizza crust is very good and the meatballs were served in a delicious sauce. Large selection of wines and varied food menu. Service was attentive and fast, thank you to Vanessa.

    We came here on a Saturday for a late lunch and the food and service were equally terrible. We ordered appetizers and they were fine so it seem like we might be off to a good start. Before the appetizers came my husband was sitting looking at the menu to figure out what he would order for dinner and the waitress came out and took the menu right out from in front of him to clear the table for the appetizers. It was weird and rude. When my husband jokingly mentioned it to her she just shrugged and said she was clearing the table. No apology or anything for snatching a menu out from under him while he was reading it. Not earth shattering but definitely very rude. When our actual food came it was horrible. The stir fry was unseasoned, the risotto tasted like oil. My daughter ordered a pasta dish with a cream sauce that was completely watery and I had a tenderloin that was also unseasoned and awful. The worst $160 I’ve ever spent at a restaurant and the first time in my life that I didn’t leave a nice tip. I would give zero stars if I could.

    We had the pleasure of being served by Cheyenne. She was so warm and welcoming! Not to mention knowledgeable with her recommendations! Definitely recommend visiting when in town.

    Baseball Fun Day! The service was awesome from the server to the mgr! The lamb is my fav! This location offers a total relaxing transition. The traffic heading go the Battery adds a slight irritable edge. Once you arrive to CrU, the great wine turns the traffic mood into… “ WHOOOOO LET THE BRAVES OUT”⭐️⚾️🎉👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

    The food was hot and fresh. The wine was really good and the server was very knowledgeable and attentive.

    Have dined here a few times before Braves games and for brunch. Wednesday night was rather disappointing. Were seated promptly. When our server greeted us, he informed us that they were out of several items already. Also said wine flights were not feasible because they were short on glasses. Our appetizer (3rd choice) came out promptly. But our entrees took a very long time. When we reordered wine, they had run out of my wife’s selection. Server was very good and personable. Management gets an F tonight for not being prepped properly. It was a Wednesday night in the middle of the season. You should be able to have plenty of product on hand

    When we walked in we asked the gentleman who was seating people (dressed similar to a manager, we weren't sure) if our parking would be validated after spending $50 (like the display sign said outside) he said yes! So we sat outside and ordered a bottle of wine which came with a free pizza, which was great. When we asked for the check we asked our waitress, (again) if we still could have our parking validated. She told us no, but we explained the host told us yes. The gentleman from the start came by and gave us a sticker that validated our parking. We were very appreciative! When we were leaving the parking garage it still charged us, so we called assistance and they told us the restaurant did not validate our ticket. We didn't have a problem paying for parking, just unfortunate the service at this restaurant wasn't straight up.

    Sat at the bar on a Wednesday night and Brittany was awesome. I found out she usually is a waiter but had the pleasure of her waiting on my friend and I for a girls night out and being our bartender, schooling us on all the wines!! They are about to get a new wine menu soon so I will be heading back, on a Wednesday night, to hang with Brittany and school me on the new wine selections.

    It was okay. The hostess had great energy!! Our waiter, not so much. Restaurant was empty and we still had to fight to get his attention.

    Such a cool place. The flights of wine were curated wonderfully and the food was delicious. Our waitress, Love, was knowledgeable, friendly and attentive. Overall and excellent start to a great night and weekend.

  • 5/5 Kelly S. 9 months ago on Google
    Randomly picked this place and loved it! Great selection of wine and the price wasn't too bad either. The food selection isn't as robust. We had the charcuterie board and it was good. We sat at the bar and service was great! It's close to parking lots that provide 3 hours of free parking. Will definitely be going back.

    The service was Amazing. The food and adult beverages were wonderful. The atmosphere was elegant and very comfortable for engaging relationships. Will definitely G.O back to see if this was H.O.W they consistently do business or was it an aberration.

    This place right near the Battery, in Truist Park, has a very nice atmosphere - it feels upscale but not stuffy. The menu featured options most would find appealing, and I think most people would be able to find something here. Most dishes featured nice, though very expected, combinations of flavors - no adventurous fare here. You’ll find all the typical “wine pairing” foods - fig and gorgonzola, meatballs and hearty marinara, etc. The server was polite and helpful, and attentive during the meal. Once we paid he completely forgot us and didn’t fill our water glasses again (clear “you’re done now leave please” sign). I expect this in most American eateries because at certain price points they need to turn the tables quickly to make profit. Unfortunately this place is quite expensive and was selling a different (i.e. “European”) atmosphere that they didn’t quite deliver. Three dishes and two wine flights (these are 3 samples of 2 oz pours, and run about $15 each) was $90. The dishes were tapas size (see photo) and we also had a pizza that was about 8-10”. So for $50/person on a weekday evening, I would expect my server to courteously fill my water glass even after I pay because I’m certainly not paying for the food or wine; I’m paying for the table time. I’d come back if a friend or colleague wanted to meet here, but I’m unlikely to choose this place again. I think they profit from location. I much prefer Vineyard Wine Market, which is 10 minutes away in Smyrna. It’s got a more laid-back, less formal vibe and offers a more intimate setting, and whenever I go they fill my water glass even after I’ve paid. The “you should go now” signs only kick in if the place is starting to fill up (understandable), opposite of Crú, which was actually starting to empty as we were finishing up. “Wine bars” are expensive because people tend to stay longer than typical dinner fare…so the service needs to match this expectation and price.

    Loved my experience here. The wines are delicious. I ordered a flight is the Notorious REDS. We got a charcuterie board and I must say it's a first that i eat everything on it.

    Came here for dinner while at the battery. This is my second time at this location and I enjoy it because the dining menu is more upscale. We had a puppy with us and they are pet friendly which is a bonus. I ordered the halibut which was delicious and was apart of a special menu. My friend ordered a margarita pizza which was also good. They have a large wine menu which we didn't try but would be great for wine lovers.

    Taking a Moment to Share the Magnificent Experience I had at CRU Wine Bar at The Battery on Saturday, March 19. I celebrated my birthday there with 13 of my closest friends. I couldn't have been more impressed with the incredible service and delicious food. We had one server for our entire table. His name is Aiden and he was spectacular. He didn't miss a beat and everyone spoke so highly of him, the beauty of the restaurant, and how great the food was. Highly recommend this before going to a game, celebrating a special day, or just to have a delightful experience.

    My absolute favorite place at the Battery. Their patio is dog friendly. The beignets are wonderful. For dinner, they are filled with goat cheese with a honey sauce and for brunch they have chocolate raspberry sauce. The cru steak pizza is delicious. The lamb lollipops, short rib, charcuterie, and cheese board are all must try. Seriously one of my favorite places in Atlanta.
