    Our server Kaitlyn was outstanding. We had the mussels and the cheese board and will order them again. I suggest joining the wine club as the wines are extraordinary and the perks are great! We will be back soon!

    Three great meals and one terrible. Went on a Monday after having a fabulous meal on Friday. It was like a different restaurant The burrata cheese was half the size-I never knew half price appetizers meant half portions. The tomatoes were very cold and tasted like they were cut the night before. Hamburger seemed smaller and substitution of a small amount of humus for the fries resulted in a 6 dollar up-charge. The Pinot was ice cold A bad enough experience I probably don’t return. Too bad because the other three experiences were 5 stars.

    My husband and I went to CRU Cellar’s for dinner, this was our second time there for dinner. We made reservations for 6:30pm and arrived a little early but we were sat immediately. The service there is wonderful, everyone is so friendly and professional. The food and wine are a 10/10. The carbonara with blackened chicken is delicious. We also order the chillable red wine flight. The wines were great too! The restaurant also happen to have a DJ playing that night, which started at 6:30pm. It was chill music and not too loud. Awesome DJ. I have nothing bad to say about CRU Cellar’s. It’s great every time.

    This is one of my favorite places but this experience was disappointing. The food was not great - while the farmers platter is always good, the roasted vegetable salad was very overdressed and the vegetables were mushy. In addition, the burger bun was soggy and the fries were cold when served. I brought 2 guests for their first time so it was disappointing. Also, the service seemed overwhelmed and wasn’t as attentive as other visits.

    Held a business dinner with 10 colleagues. Due to weather they were able to accommodate us in a private room in the restaurant. Great service, wine list, and food!!!
