Crú - A Wine Bar

Went here on Monday night to meet some girlfriends.

Service was great! Our server was very nice and knows the wine list..  Great selection to choose from..

A variety of tastes to choose off of the food menu. Not being hungry for an entrée,  I chose the Prince Edward mussels off the appetizer menu
Nice presentation and you get a lot of them.. about 2 dozen. The sauce they were steamed in was delicious, however the mussels were not fresh. I only ate a handful, after eating about 5 that were way too mushy, I gave up.

I would have said something but our order was already taken down wrong, and one of the ladies had to wait a while for her correct entrée, many of the other ladies were finished by the time hers came, so I knew everyone would be done eating if I ordered something else.

Nice atmosphere, great wine.. I'll try it again some day and order something else.

Nice atmosphere located in Shops at Legacy. It's always lively here. Try the steamed mussels or some of the pizzas. Knowledgeable wait staff on wines! Ask for Aaron, TJ or Chris!

Since i tend to work late in the evening during the week and work a 2nd job on the weekends its kind of hard for me to take my girlfriend out on dates where we can sit down and enyoy ourselves. One Friday evening i called this location and immediately spoke with someone at the location. I expressed to them that i knew they commonly had full tables so i wanted to make sure i wasnt wasting my time coming out to this location. The man on the phone said he would gladly hold a table for myself and girlfriend since they had few parties coming in that evening.

Once we reached the location i was instantly greeted by many of the staff almost as if i walked into my own families house. From there we got the seating that was described to us on the phone. Shortly after our waiter came to the table with waters and a list of flights to choose from, Reds and Whites, along with a menu. I didnt want to eat too large as this was my first experience so my girlfriend and i chose our wine flights. Im not too much of a wine drinker so the waiter began asking me what types of flavors  did i like, bitter was definetly not one of them. I went with the whites as my girlfriend went with the reds. After having been helped with the wines i informed the waiter we didnt want to eat to heavily so he suggested the "Pear Gorgonzola w/ Honey" pizza. We ended up going with the pizza suggestion along with the crab cake.

As we waited i noticed the music was up just enough to hear our conversation at the table and still jam to the music being played. Shortly after we placed our order our food came out and smell intoxicating! My first move was for the pizza since i had never heard of such a thing and ill tell you all this, "EPIC" would be my words of expression for how well all of the flavors came together in stages. First you had the slight crunch of the pear, then the gorgonzolas tartness came out, and to make the day honey was  there to bring you back to reality. The crab cake seemed to be like the many i have eaten so i wasnt too impressed but it nonetheless was still delicious.

If you are looking for an intimate place to go on a first date or even treat yourself and counterpart to a nice evening out I would highly recommend Cru since many of the other places in "The Shops" are usually packed and very loud
