Cru Gastro Lounge

Espresso martini delish and so were the button mushrooms. Cute wine bar without all the youngsters

I love this place! The food is always great and they have some of the best Ribs I've ever had. They change up the menu every once in a while, and that keeps it fresh. They also do a great job with the wine selection and rotating beers on tap.

Good vibes here- hip urban sophistication was my impression. Low lights and subdued modern decor. Not a "college town" kind of place. We just stopped in for a cocktail. Impressed by the offerings as well as the wine and beer lists, lots of craft selections including IPAs. Bartendress was well dressed, polite, and knowledgeable, which is so important. Some years back this was strictly a 'wine bar' with small plates and snacks, but they've evolved into a comfortable cocktail lounge with a full dinner menu. Entrees looked appealing (not so much the apps) and I'm hoping to be back here tomorrow for dinner and an update.

I was taken here by a friend and her family for dinner, and I was originally concerned after looking at their menu online and not seeing near to nothing for vegetarian/vegans. Do not fear, they have curated an entire vegan menu that you can request inside! There were a lot of salads on there, but also a good amount of warm dinners to explore (bonus, they're less expensive!). The waitress was extremely hospitable and kept up with the table well, and even talked to us for a bit once we were a couple drinks in. The Moscow mule was crafted well, it is always a favorite of mine. It was a great environment to have interpersonal conversations and enjoy one another's company.

Good food and drinks. Pleasant atmosphere, great for appetizers and drinks or dinner. Salmon on the spinach salad was done perfectly. Waitress was efficient and attentive. They were very busy and it took a while to get food but it came out hot and perfectly cooked.

Oh Cru I was hoping it will get better. Unfortunately i was wrong. last time I was there was after Christmas December 2022 to be exact.. We were 5 at a table mind you they did not post a sign at the entrance to let us know that their oven was out of order until we were at the table ready to order: No Ribs, No Pizza, No Bread, No Dessert. No apology nothing. We just had to make do. We were hungry, tired and it was cold outside. Very unprofessional won't be back to CRUEL (suggesting a name change). ever. People in that town deserve a much better place like the new place in town uptown that is "THE PICKLE & PIG ". I heard it's good. So long "Cru Gastro Lounge". For the price you're charging: please get your act together or get out of the business.

Nice and relaxing spot for wine and great food. Just a special place to spend quality time. And besides the wine beg exceptional, the food is great.

service was absolutely terrible. took over an hour for food and saw a service once in that hour. Also never apologized regarding the terrible service. would not ever recommend to anyone.

Food was awful! There were 3 of us, each ordered something different for dinner, and none of us liked what we got. Sent one meal back and they gave us 75% off of it. Totally overpriced as well. Ambience was okay as server very nice, but horrible food when you're starving makes everything else not matter much.

One of the worst dining experiences of recent memory. The tuna was tasteless. The crab cakes were dry. The mac & cheese was just OK - for that price I could have made something way better at home. The caesar salad was made with wilted shredded lettuce - have never seen that before and hope to never see it again. The ribs were tough and dry. And even though there were only 2 other tables, service was slow. Our waiter was far more interest in the young waitress than providing good service. And to add insult to injury, the prices were outrageous for what they serve.
