Charcuterie board was absolutely amazing. The wine flights of cold reds paired really well with the board. And the new chef was super nice and cool! He gave us new desserts to try that’ll be on the menu and they were amazing!!! Highly recommend trying the new desserts!
My overall experience at Cru Cellars- Palma Ceia was pleasant. It had a very elegant yet cozy feel to it. The lighting was perfect for those going on a date with their significant other. The server I had was very nice and she came around frequently to make sure I was enjoying myself. I had the Cru Burger and it was very juicy, flavorful, and the aged cheese topped it off. I had moscato as choice of wine and it was sweet and crisp how I like it. I would definitely return.
Very tentative service for a Friday afternoon. Felt welcomed by two separate servers checking on us. Between the two of us we had five glasses of wine and a beer. And then ordered the Cru burger and California Tacos. The burger was great, the tacos I wish it was a tangy slaw...it was a creamy mayo based slaw on top. Overall both were still tasty. The wine selection was okay, but wasn't blown away by any glass in particular. If you are a serious wine drinker I probably wouldn't go here, but overall I enjoyed myself for an afternoon out!
We went here on a weeknight and got in just in time as the crowd came busting in. The wait staff are not very friendly and we could barley hear her. No excitement in her step. We ordered wine and the white wine was warm! not chilled nor was the second glass of white. If you order by the glass its expensive $19.00 and $13.00 You can buy a whole bottle for that price. There is a happy hour 1/2 off on one house white & red wine and some of the appetizers. The food was the bright spot as it was some of the best Tenderloin Carpaccio. We also ordered a cheese and meat charcutier plate. For the prices there was not enough cheese on the plate only a dollop. There was more bread than food. This is a nice hang out after a long day at work. Staff needs to improve, and the white wine needs to be chilled.
We had a delightful lunch to celebrate a family occasion. Chef Jay, with advance notice made us a couple of dinner menu items and a beautiful charcuterie board. Omar helped us choose a fruity wine to go with our meal.
Located on McDill Ave., a short distance from where Datz closed their doors, Cru is expanding their brunch and dinner business while still offering wine tastings and wine sales.
I was taken by the selection and affordability of the wine. Cru has distiguished themselves by discovering and offering unfamiliar and unknown wines of good to great quality with low to moderate pricing. We enjoyed a tasty Pinot Noir for less than $20.
We had a wonderful time and the chef even gave my wife a free dessert for her celebratory occasion. Give them a try for dinner or cozy brunch.
Small restaurant, not as visually appealing as their other location by Gandy. Tasty food, good service, small parking lot out front. Great selection of wine and drinks.

Cute spot, great little patio, and a creative menu: small but tasty!
The fig and prosciutto flatbread was probably my favorite thing we ordered: great drizzle of balsamic reduction and just a few bites split among 4 of us.
The sauce on the salmon entrée is dynamite and the fall-apart tender duck confit with blackberry sauce and super crispy potatoes dauphin was a lesson in texture. Delish. Oh and the maple glazed brussel sprouts were cooked perfectly: lots of crunchy edges and no big barely cooked cabbage bites!
They also do a good job on the tuna tartare, with crunchy wonton chips and lots of flavor drizzles on the plate. And the peri peri cauliflower is a neat take on buffalo cauliflower with the side of cambozola cream as an elevated bleu cheese dip. I missed having more spice but the batter and cook on it was perfect. (I demolished them.)
We got a few flights and the wines we tried were ok but not mind blowing. I love that they rotate in new wines regularly and that you can also peruse/buy wines by the bottle to take home.
Our server was good, but we had some attitude from the hostess when we asked to turn the fans on the patio off. (As they were wheeling out the heaters...?) In general, they did really well with a back to back sat section on a Friday night and the food came out fast and delicious!
Delicious food and a very unique ambience - the desserts were to die for!
Our server was very tentative and helpful at picking out a wine. The Caesar salad was made with fresh lettuce and croutons. The burger was delicious! A cute little spot for a date night.
The ambience and the food was amazing! I was seated by a window and enjoyed the salmon meal which was cooked to perfection. I would absolutely come back for more
This place definitely has the vibe which can just keep you here if you are in the mood to feel welcomed and invited. Great selection of wine in there display racks are fun to paruse before of after a meal. Speaking of a meal, every time I have gone here I have always ordered something different and have never been disappointed. These Fillet & Crab Cake Benedict is no exception, the flavor and texture of it was was impeccable. Highly recommend.
Excellent food and atmosphere but it was unbearably hot! It was like their AC wasn't working. We each got a wine flight and several different appetizers. The cheese curds and salmon appetizers were our favorites and the cauliflower was a close second. Will definitely be back but maybe in the winter when the AC won't be an issue.
This is such a cute restaurant and wine shop. The food, cooked by the head chef Jay is amazing. We tried the filet omelet, the crab and filet eggs Benedict, the Croque Madame, the spicy egg sandwich and the cinnamon roll. Everything was seasoned and cooked to perfection. Service was excellent as well and the wine selection is great. Highly recommend trying if you haven’t been yet!
