    Cru Cellars was a nice dining experience overall. The appetizers charcuterie.was very good and paired well with our wines. Wine selections were quite varied and there was plenty to pick from. Caesar salads were both delicious with steak and salmon. Service was a little slow getting our entrées out to us . The atmosphere was OK, but it was freezing cold in there and the chairs were quite uncomfortable waiting for food..

    Great experience 🥰 went for brunch after the hurricane so there were not many people so it as quiet for us. The French toast was yummy and came in a bowl. First time seeing that. Then we ordered the Francais Omelette (Au Fromage), which was very good. We were surprised because it hard to find a place in tampa that actually seasons to perfection. Usually too salty or needs salt. Not the case for here. We loved the polenta. Service was great too.

    The cheese board was awesome as always. Bucatini again great as always. Really disappointed with the wine tonight. I paid extra for a Somm flight. I asked for big reds but not too dusty. Got a Pinot Noir that was horrible and two other wines that were just ok. Main issue is that all red wines were ICE cold. Literally undrinkable. Not sure if Cru doesn’t have a proper wine fridge (55degrees) but seems like they were put in a regular fridge. Sad because it was our anniversary and I had been craving a great red all week.

    I love Cru Cellars! The chef is the best and the food is always good. The farm platters and burger for happy hour are our favorite.

    We love Cru—the wine flights were excellent, cheese board was scrumptious and we all enjoyed our entrees. Excellent service :) unfortunately we were too full for dessert!
