Cru offers a good selection of flights and wines by the glass, but they have some real gems on their bottle only list. They have a quality selection of the "currently trendy" Pinot Noirs. Prices are moderate too. They offer artisan cheeses, shared plates and full entrees that were tasty, but not memorable. The staff was friendly and knowledgable, and the upscale atmosphere was inducive to romantic, as well as philosophical conversations. No reservations are accepted, but they do offer "call ahead" seating.

Pros: A mecca for girl's night out. Great location.

Insider Tips

Save Money

Appetizers or cheese plates offer a light meal to share with friends. Splitting a bottle of wine with a group offers more reasonably priced libations than the wine flights.
