CRU Food & Wine Bar (2nd Street - Austin)

Awesome place with reasonably priced lunch. Not too crowded, which is what we were looking for. $13 carafe of mimosa was very generous. The pizza itself was kind of mediocre, but the burger was possibly one of the best ones I've had within the last year. The meat was absolutely seasoned to perfection! The place really cares about its wine selection, decor cool, and within the mood of their theme too. Definitely would like to go back for dinner!

I had the French champaign for maybe the first time at one of there events last night!! Was really good and fun to be able to try it as I usually never get too!! I'm planning on coming back very good service!! I actually had to wine flights it was soooo good. The person that wrote that the Grove is better might work there. I had a pizza and all around the world cheese. All very good. I had a Greek wine and flight it was soooo good I order a red one. I had wondered why I don't see there wine menu they said it changes every two weeks when i asked about a Spanish wine.. all very good!! I'm going again?again!! If you get two flights plan to spend 100 but I also liked that they did t don6 oz poors!!

This place has a nice ambiance. The butter & bread are good. The cranberry butter is quite sweet. The pumpkin ricotta tortelloni was tasty. The butternut squash bisque was good. The pumpkin pie was delicious.

Cru is a chain, but hey--if you like wine, they always have a variety of REAL options. This location was empty at 1130am but onside the vibe was grwat--good music--clubbin it a bit but tasteful--Zhu--Savannah was bartendin' and recommended a great Tempranillo--service is excellent here, and everyone is friendly. Everything is decked out for Xmas. Honestly, this is a missed brunch spot because apparently people think of Cru as an evening spot. Patio out front looks inviting enough, though 69 degrees is a little chill 4 me. I really enjoyed ownimg the place for 30 early morning--the blanc de blanc grand cru was actuallybwhat I started with be4 my shift to Spain. This place is worth a visit again!

STAN IS DA MAN! My best friend and I went to have a little charcuterie moment for this birthday. And our server Stan was awesome! Super friendly, and impeccable service! He was patient and super funny. Definitely coming back to see him again!

Very nice wine bar with a relaxing atmosphere! Our waitress was helpful with deciding food items to order on the menu. It’s a good place to sit/talk and enjoy for the evening!

My sister and I came in for their Brunch Special this afternoon, and we had a grand time! Their Mimosas' were amazing, the food was intriguing and delicious, and our server/bartender Brandon was awesome. We tried a few appetizers, entrées, and drinks, and had a blast. The service was a little slow, but we were having a carefree afternoon with drinks, good food, cozy atmosphere, and friendly staff, so we didn't mind. 🙂

Reynaldo was an amazing waiter extremely patient attentive and gave great recommendations on both the wine list and the food! the vibe of the restaurant is extremely relaxed Yet elegant. I thoroughly enjoyed our late lunch. We had the pizza with steak and balsamic vinegar very large portion absolutely delicious my companion had the risotto and scallops which were seared to Perfection the risotto was creamy and aldente.... Also cooked to perfection. we finished the meal off with the chocolate fondu which I found to be absolutely whimsical with a wonderful presentation only complaint was that the shortbread that was served was stale but the strawberries figs marshmallows and the actual chocolate we use to dip was very high-quality.... this is truly a great place to catch up with a friend and enjoy delicious food and wine. The portions are generous the food quality is good and I will definitely be back again and again
