We went for Easter brunch as my first visit and it was delightful. Our service provider, Zach, was awesome... friendly, and professional. A good time was had by all, we will return.

Incredible service from Matthew at the bar and Zac in the dining room. The Easter prix fixe was delicious and very reasonable priced. The lobster risotto and beignets and lamb were the tables favorite!

We stumbled into Crú after walking around the area looking for something to eat and drink. The inside is very cute, it's small so I recommend getting a reservation if you come closer to dinner but we went around 1pm and were able to get a seated right away. First off, I love that they offer a wide range of wine flights, the pours are heavy and you get a good taste of each wine. Our waiter was so good, she greeted us quickly and always was offering us refills when needed. We really enjoyed our time at Crú and will definitely be back!

Zack and Don served us. We sat at the bar, and it was an amazing experience! The background and knowledge they were able to provide with each wine was incredible. Very happy with this experience!

Best mussels in town. Wine flights are a gem to find out which wine you like the best. Great happy hour menu. Cute patio area.

For starters the service was terrible. Sat at the bar and the bartender was clearly in a bad mood and acted annoyed to serve us. Sat 15 minutes after done eating before he ever came to ask if we needed anything and another 10 minutes to get the bill. Restaurant was half full so it's not like they were even busy. Would have ordered another drink after our first if he ever came by to ask if we wanted another. Food was ok, pizza was ice cold, scallops were too, tasted good just cold. Bummer first time experience was a bust!

There was a birthday party in the courtyard area behind the restaurant so after arriving, we moved our patio reservation to inside but it was extremely loud with live music. The food and wine were wonderful and our server was sweet. Very nice place overall.

I went to Cru for Valentines Day and my experience was horrible. Sat late, not due to the host himself it just seemed like he was performing multiple jobs and was busy. My main issue comes from the food. It was a preset menu and it was absolutely one of the worst dining menus I have had. Lobster bisque was a shooter and has an oily tasting thing on top. Risotto had an absence of flavor and was undercooked. Filet didn't have seasoning, potato cake was good. Desert had to have been premade and was not their standard..I'm sure to cut cost for their price fixed menu. Overall an underwhelming and disappointing experience.

Flights dropped at table with no explanation (we heard other tables getting the full experience but unfortunately we were not able to receive that.) Skipped for bread service, again other tables next to us received this service but we had our plates removed with apps. Portions small, “jumbo” crab cake was the size of a silver dollar, luckily we saw it placed next to us otherwise we would have left hungry. Crème brûlée was burnt on top, and scalloped potatoes underneath was charred as well. The wine was good, food here is usually good but we now know to avoid on special evenings.

Food came cold each time. Bread was stale. Waiter made too many jokes; I think he was nervous. I had heard great things about Cru. Disappointed in how they handled valentines. I had to ask the waiter if everything was going to come out cold after two cold dishes. He apologized and brought the next lukewarm. Don't feel like we should have to remind staff of food temp.

Zach was awesome. Informative, sweet, attentive. I would request him when I return. Parking: there is a parking garage available. I'm unsure if it's free or not. I parked alongside the street and walked. If you see Kendra Scott, it's on that same side. Cru is "ducked off" and you will have to walk to it. You can't park directly outside it. The perfect word to describe it is "quaint" My friend made a reservation for 2 @ 7:30. We were seated immediately. I ordered two flights and she ordered one. I'm a white wine girlie. I got a Riesling and Sauvignon blanc flight. She ordered the sexy red. Name is appetizing right ?? I swirled and smelled the aromas and got spot on which I would like and not like. Zach told us we could get 40% off of my favorite wine if I purchased before leaving. I ended up not. $50 original. I would return. It was a vibe for sure. And it's all about the company you keep.

Cru wasn't open at the time of my reservation so my guest and I went across the street until we noticed the doors finally opening. We went ahead and went over to Cru to eat. The food and drinks were good, had they been open at the time of the reservation I would have given more stars. The atmosphere was very quiet since it was only my guest and I there. Another party arrived about midway through our meal and it still wasn't noisy.

The food is average. The wine flights are affordable. The service is 50/50 depending on who you get. I once sat at the bar for 10 minutes while the bartender only talked to one person and didn't serve anyone.

Amazing food and great wine flights. They were able to fit us in on a busy Friday night as well. I recommend the Pear and Gorgonzola pizza with Prosciutto on top. Surely one of the best pizzas I've ever had. Great place for a date night or a night out with friends.
