Grand Cru Wine Bar and Bistro

This place is a hidden gem.  Wonderful wine choices.  5 stars for the wine options. The flights are nice as well.  The service is 5 starts - very attentitve & they'll let you taste any wines that you'd like.  I was also pleasantly suprised in all of the beer choices. There is a huge refrigator with great bottles of beer to choose from.

5 stars for the food as well - wow the scallops are scrumptious!  The mac-n-cheese is to die for. And the beef sliders are oh-so yummy yummy! The brie is great to start! and I've even had the salmon and loved it!

I'm only giving this place a 4 because this place is typically empty & awkardly quiet and I like more of an upbeat atmosphere with music.  That is the only reaon.  Otherwise it's a star 5 establishment!

We checked into our hotel in the area around 5 and wanted a nice dinner after a long day of traveling. We wandered a bit and happened upon Grand Cru, and what a happy accident it was. Considering we had absolutely zero expectations- even if we had- we were very impressed with the service, the wine, and the food.

The brie and honey tapas was a lovely start, and others liked the truffled deviled eggs. I was in love with my scallop dish, my hubby enjoyed the veal tenderloin. We had a bottle of Barbera that was delicious. Our server was really attentive and very sweet during the entire meal.

If you're in the area this is definitely the place to go.

Maybe I was expecting too much, but everything from the food, wine, service, and atmosphere was just meh.

Appetizers:
3 stars for cheese tray and mussels.
2 stars for the what I call cold cut tray.

Entree:
3 stars for both the duck and lamb.
(But the portion is ridiculously small - I have my fair share of small portion at fine restaurant, but this place takes the price)

Portion:
1 star (see above)

Service;
3 stars (the waiter was attentive, but really nothing special)

Too many good restaurants to try, for me to give this place a 2nd try.
