   This has been my go to NYE restaurant for 3 years. I love the food, service and ambiance. Unfortunately they're closing in January, I'm so sad!!

   We went on Thanksgiving. The special menu was perfect and the food was delicious. Staff were friendly. When we ordered wine she had us taste it first. So glad as I selected a different one than my first choice. Highly recommend CRU Food and Wine Bar. Looking forward to going back and trying their wine flights.

   Thanksgiving menu: Braised short rib - The polenta was dry and came in large clumps, not smooth and creamy. Servings were inconsistent with one plate having lots of butternut squash and another having only one piece, no one noticed any mushrooms. Of the 3 orders of the short rib, one had a noticeably smaller portion. Salad had so little dressing, it was barely noticeable. Tortelloni starter was fantastic and well portioned. Salmon dish was fantastic as well! Service was also fantastic!

   We love sitting outside at Cru at Watters Creek. We enjoyed our wine and many of the food options. Great service. One of our go to’s.

   I recently had the pleasure of dining at CRU, and it was a great experience from start to finish. The food was spectacular, with every dish meticulously prepared and bursting with flavor. The service was equally outstanding. From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel genuinely welcome. They were attentive without being intrusive and went above and beyond to ensure our evening was perfect. The ambiance added to the overall charm—warm, inviting, and beautifully designed, making it the ideal setting for a special occasion or a casual night out. Will definitely be going back.

   Service and drinks were excellent. Food was mediocre and tepid. One server for the dining room and patio. Manager should have been on the floor.

    My friend and I both had the Chardonnay flight. We liked the third one best and each ordered a glass, then we ordered a third glass to share. When I got my bill, I saw that each glass was $38! Granted, I probably should have asked how much a glass was but the price should also either be on a wine list or ON THE FLIGHT CARD so customers can make an informed decision. I liked the second wine and would have chosen that for a glass if I'd known I'd have 3 glasses of Chardonnay at $38 each on my bill. Honestly, I've gone to CRU at this location many times over the years. It seems to have lost its vibe (we were actually only one of two tables in the whole restaurant, although there were a couple people on the patio). The music was too loud as well. I would go back but I didn't intend to spend $250 on two flights, three glasses of wine, a meatball appetizer, and a flatbread :(.
