Wine was great. Staff was polite and friendly. Food was mostly good. They ran out of fries (at 6pm) and had to substitute fries for scalloped potatoes (which were cold). The space was nice with beautiful chandeliers but they were turned up so bright it felt like dining in the surface of the sun. It wasn’t quite fluorescent lighting but close because it was so bright. They really need to dim the lighting. It ruined the ambiance of what a wine bar should be. For that reason alone I probably won’t go back unfortunately.

Cru is an adulting experience!!!! If you’re not a wine lover; the full experience cannot be fully realized. The ambience is warm and inviting. The food is delicious and perfectly portioned. Great value for your money. But the wine flights keep your noise guessing; you tongue intrigued and your palate engaged. I will return again and again!!

I wanted to love this place. The atmosphere is great. Wine selection is solid. Flights are a perfect touch. And the service was strong. If you’re going for drinks — highly recommend!! Just don’t show up hungry because the food was beyond disappointing. On paper, the menu read like a creative push on modern American cuisine. But the Caesar salad was wilted, frozen and watery. The pizza was fired to crunchy perfection but the margarita pizza was completely flavorless. Not a hint of garlic, basil or salt in sight. And their “fan favorite” wagyu meatballs were much of the same. Good texture but absolutely ZERO stars in the flavor department. Had it not been for the goat cheese beignets I would have left hungry as I had no interest in wasting calories on any other dish they put in front of me. Sadly, this won’t be our new date night spot.

The food is always amazing. The service was not. She was extremely forgetful and I'm not sure how she still has her job. I guess it's because she's nice? We would have loved to have had the scallops, but when we ordered them, she came back a few minutes later and told us they were out. Why tell us how good they are then?

The service was great, love the wine flights. The food was fine, but I wouldn’t call it special. The noise level was very high, it was hard for my friend and I to hear each other. She was a very big fan of the meatballs though!
