Great ambience and location. The wine selection was on point, and bartender knew what her patrons wanted. Food was delicious, and well presented. The fig and gorgonzola bruschetta was unlike any other we had tasted. We sat at the bar and had great company from other patrons as well as the bartender. Overall a great experience and definitely shall return.Recommendation to the restaurant manager to add more vegetarian items to the menu.
Awesome experience and brunch. The food was very good and the atmosphere was great. We had Lacy as our wait staff and she did a super job. Been here a few times will definitely be back.
Great spot to go before or after (or both) a baseball game. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating. More importantly, they have a great selection of wines and a menu that can be paired with any wine choice.
Cru Wine Bar is amazing! I’ve been visiting for the past few years and the food, service, and wines are great. Savannah has been an amazing bartender and now I’m so excited Cheyenne is on the team!
The food was absolutely delicious. Omg, we had the meatballs for an appetizer. One of the best meatballs I ever had. The bread they serve paired great with that. Lol, I dont remember what we ordered for our entrée but I do remember that we were thoroughly pleased.
The staff at Cru at The Battery is AMAZING! The food is fantastic and the wine list- it is impossible to not find something you love. Cheyenne is fabulous and makes sure you customize the food to exactly what you want and will make you feel right at home when sitting at the bar as an out-of-towner!
If you are looking for a fun place to go out this is it. You can start by walking around all the shops which offer plenty of people watching.Then land at Cru they have outstanding wine but I’m a fan of their food. The Benoit’s were not like the ones from cafe dumond in New Orleans they were fast better. They were followed up by a Basil/pear pizza it was unbelievably good. Finished the meal with a glass of wine and more people watching.Enjoy!
Food and the wine never disappoints. I like the Sweet Child of Mine (whites) and Going Back to Cali flights (reds). We had the fig and gorgonzola bruschetta, the shrimp and lobster dumplings, and the cru steak pizza. Phenomenal food.
CRU is small but powerful. I love this place. They have great wines and a small but wonderful menu. They will also recommend pairings of the wine with your lunch/dinner. I live that they offer flights in 2oz pours for wines of similar varietal (3 wines total). This is a great place that I will continue to frequent. Thanks for your great service, awesome staff, delicious food and most of all... the wonderful wine! If you find this review helpful, please press like below.
We had a fantastic brunch with family! Excellent vibe and great food! Our server, Aiden was the best…super attentive, friendly and very funny!!! Looking forward to our next visit.
Cheyenne was absolutely amazing! Very attentive, knowledgeable, and so nice. Had the mussels & charcuterie - best mussels in the battery! (I’ve tried el super pan & eataliano - these are the best so far. El super pan second best)
Cheyenne (sorry if I butchered her name spelling) was amazing. Great muscles and tasty wine. Will definitely come back
Everyone elses brunch looked delicious. But almost an hour later, no food at our table, and then finally asked again what we ordered. Nope! Left, and would never recommend.Id post a picture, but theres nothing to post but an empty table. 😕
We had a pleasant experience at Cru. We liked the food. The cheese fondue was rich. The choices of fruit, veggies and bread to compliment were an excellent choice, very well paired. The goat cheese beignets were incredible. The cheese smooth and creamy, but not overpowering. The canvasback wine was a great choice with the cheese options we selected for the evening. The pace of small plates was very nuanced and made for a great evening of conversing, food and wine. I’d say this is a hidden gem amongst the other offerings at the Battery.
Good service, solid food options, but not exceptional. If you park in the red deck, theyll validate your parking at the restaurant if you spend more than fifty dollars. The menu changes on Braves game days, so be aware that the online menu may not be accurate. For example, this burger isnt present on the usual menu.
Fabulous dinner food was delicious and wine was excellent. Our waitress was excellent. Will definately recommend it to friends
Ive been here twice, the first time, the food was GREAT, but our server was bad...slow and inattentive. This time I went back just for the cheese beignets & lamb chops..the lamb chops I had b4 are no longer on the menu, I guess its only offered as an entree noe. I ordered them medium, the were kind of tough & dry, they looked pink & juicy but once I bit into them, I realized they werent. The also lacked flavor. The menu said the Chops came with Broccolini, somehow I got over cooked asparagus but whatever. The bartender was nice! (10/28/19 at around 7:30 pm) A nice gentleman bought myself and 2 other young ladies dessert which was good. The entree definitely disappointed though.
Wonderful dinner place to meet up with friends and family. The wine was terrific we had the scallops, chicken, and flatbread with the pear and gorgonzola cheese. Yummy!
The Battery is one of my all time favorite places to go and just hang out on a whim. Been meaning to try out Cru and finally had the chance with a brunch date. We were under the impression that the bottomless mimosas were on Saturday but it’s only offered on Sunday’s. No worries because they have plenty to choose from. First off, parking for the first 3 hours are free so use that to your advantage. Cru is somewhat centrally located when it comes to the restaurants in The Battery. We of course opted for their beautiful outdoor seating due to COVID and was comfortable even in the Georgia heat. For drinks, I started with the Rose flight and he opted for one of the Red Wine flights. What I loved most about the flights is that Cru brings you informational cards to go along with each flight; detailing name, cost, origin, etc. Since this is heavily tapas spot, we decided on the Lobster Dumplings and Goat Cheese Beignets..both were DELICIOUS!!! Goat cheese and beignets doesn’t sound good together but LISTEN, You will be disappointed if you don’t try it!Can’t wait to give their Sunday brunch a try.
Had the filet mignon, cooked to perfection. My husband had the scallops and really enjoyed his dish. This place also had great service. Will definitely be back.
Appetizers were excellent for brunch, but half the main menu was 86’d (the good half). The server was nice, but understandably uncomfortable working around so many missing items. I think there was a manager at the bar, but they were doing staff wine tastings so nobody came by to check in. We ended up with a burger after being prepared for a significantly better experience. Please update in-person menus, they do not seem to reflect the caliber of food that can be put out.
Love the concept and the relaxed but sophisticated space, the food and service are great, and of course the wine selection is fantastic. Unlike most Atlanta restaurants these days, it is quiet enough that you can actually carry on a conversation at your table without yelling. Ive only been there twice, but definitely will be back. Btw, I highly recommend the Fritto Misto appetizer if you like calamari.
Very happy, surprised, and delighted by the quality of the food and friendliness of the staff. We had the steamed mussel and pot stickers appetizers, and grilled cheese and steak entrees. My steak (8 oz filet) was outstanding - maybe a little undercooked (but thats okay) - with excellent beef quality. The sides were also good and appropriate. Wine was excellent (they have light/medium/full bodied for most wine types), and the rose cider was a real surprise treat. In summary: Go for the wine, love the food
Great service, great wine and great food. When they found out it was our 1st date they dimmed the lights as they saw we were connecting! Thank you!
This was the perfect place for out Two year anniversary. Great food and great wine! Fantastic service.
CRU is great, killer staff with great deals on Thursday. Definitely recommend if you’re in the mood for some low-key wine drinking in the Battery.
Cheyenne made the best recommendations. Food was incredible and wine was even better. Will definitely visit again!
The food was really good and the servers were really nice. I love the atmosphere. I definitely will be back.
Cheyanne and Savannah are amazing bartenders!! Super friendly and able to recommend a wine for anyone’s taste.
I do not enjoy giving bad reviews! Savanna sucked. I don’t know if she was having a bad day or what! She was not attentive to us. My food came out & I hated it.
Cheyenne at the bar was amazing! Great service, amazing food, and an incredible wine selection.
We had our engagement celebration here and the staff was very nice and gave us a free dessert platter! Great restaurant/ wine bar in the Battery.
The service was great, the food was excellent and the wine was excellent. A little expensive but it is a great place for a date!
No. Just NO! Girls brunch date was a disaster. Menu was minimal. Waitress was not familiar with the menu or pricing. Only saving grace was the blood peach bellini. I definitely could not see myself going back.
Savannah is the most attentive, results driven, passionate, career ambitious, value oriented, customer loving tender of the bar who Ive ever had the pleasure of sitting in front of.Also she is gorgeous. Like stop in the street kind of pretty. You aint never.
Wine and scallops were fantastic. I always get the goat cheese and honey beignets and dream about them until I go again.
We had a great experience there, the staff was very friendly checked in on us frequently. We were there on a Monday where they had a special with getting a pizza for free when you order a bottle of wine. Unfortunately the first bottle we ordered wasnt available. The pizza was ok, but being so close to Antico I expected it to be better, but for the price I was fine with it. The location is really nice for sitting outside and watching people walking by.
I have never been happier with a restaurant/wine bar! This was one of my best experiences in Atlanta out for an evening of drinks, fun, atmosphere, and quality. I’m just so blown away... The staff was extremely attentive, and took time to connect with us. Our server, Tom, was amazing. He didn’t just serve us, he connected with us, engaged in very warm conversation with us and made sure we had everything we needed all throughout the night. Ezekiel, the host, was so dedicated to being efficient, was so nice, and he even took time to come around and ask if guests were okay. The entire staff was dressed for success, every server, the host, the bartender, I mean it was just perfection. Let’s talk about the vibe... everyone was talking, but it wasn’t too loud to where it distracts you. The crowd in the room was so nice, everyone just having their own intimate conversations and smiles. I even connected with the table sitting beside us, so much fun! This place attracts a really nice and diverse crowd. If you want to go somewhere grown, sexy, and chill, this is for you! And you really don’t have to go overboard, a chill outfit is perfect for this place. It’s a smaller more intimate setting but more than enough and I think that’s why they deliver such great service. Less is more. We sat inside because it was chilly Sat night, but the outdoor space also looked lovely. And let’s get into the wine, I had the Sauvignon Blanc Flight, and I ended up loving it. I loved being able to try three wines and have a decent pouring of each. You get 2oz of each wine to really indulge in. And the way they bring out the flight, so sexy. It’s a metal basket almost that individually holds each glass and allows them to place it on the table. For anyone that loves a subtle, soft yet warm wine, I highly recommend the Charles Debourges ‘19 Sancerre, Loire France. I loved it! And when you order a glass, you get a really nice 6oz pouring. Fun! The food was also really good. I say try the truffle pizza if you’re a fan of mushrooms and truffle. The Charcuterie Board could’ve had more cheese for my liking, it was a little heavy on the meat, but overall I still loved everything. Recommending to everyone that wants to have a really good night out, you won’t be disappointed!
Great service and experience. Food was very good. With the Wagyu Meatballs, you only get 2 in the order. The charcuterie board had a good amount of food. The mussel side order was amazing. Great flavor and had over two dozen for the $15. The goat cheese beneigts were good, especially with the honey on them. Great wine selections as well
Definitely a vibe!!! We ordered a bottle of Zinfandel with the lamb sticks and the chocolate lave cake. Wine was delightful and food paired well. Our total came out to about $75. The bartender, Savannah, was a joy to converse with and we will for sure be going back!!!
Im so glad I finally tried this place! The menu is obviously curated for wine lovers with simple and elegant ingredients. Savannah is so knowledgeable and made our experience so fun. The wine was amazing and the description cards are adorable. I cant wait to check out brunch.
We met our daughter and son in law at Cru for brunch on Sat. May 1st. Prior to May 1st, Cru was a favorite place to go. I have never been so disappointed in a restaurant that I selected. Our wait staff was friendly but that is the only good thing I have to say. We ordered drinks - Coke and a Sprite (they did not have Sprite), mimosas and we were told it would be 15-20 minutes before the orange juice would be ready. The mimosa arrived 60 minutes after our arrival. Shortly before the mimosa arrived we were finally told there was no Coke either.We ordered the Goat Cheese Beignets and they were yummy. Then we ordered our entrees and were told that they did not have chicken. So...my husband ordered a hamburger. Quite a while later we were told there were no hamburgers either. What??? My husband ended up going next door to get a hamburger and Coca Cola.My daughter ordered the steak and eggs and the steak was very tough and she could not cut it with the knife they provided.Overall - very disappointing. Not sure I will return again which makes me sad.
Lovely atmosphere. Very nice wine selection. Sweet and attentive staff. The only reason I didnt give it 5 stars is because we only dropped in to sample the wine. I couldnt tell you anything about the food, other than there werent any options for a vegan. Not complaining though. We enjoyed our visit.
When youre down at Battery you have to stop here. Their wine pairings are spot on with their food! If youre lucky youll get Savannah! She gets a feel for your palate isand hooks you up with what meets your needs! Shes awesome!I ordered the Crab Stuffed Mushrooms and the capped it off with their Margarita pizza. Soo good!
Claire was really sweet and gave quick and concise service. The restaurant’s ambience was great and really took me back to European style dining. There are minor serving techniques that could elevate the restaurants etiquete but overall, fantastic. The filet mignon was the best I have had in Georgia. The scallops and mainly carnivorous charcuterie were divine as well.Definitely recommend for a girls night out or romantic date. Thank you Cru!
I have never been disappointed. The food is always well prepared and presented. The wine selection is excellent. I have been here several times and it has been consistent. Im officially letting people in on my find.
Jared is one of the best waiters I’ve ever had. We had a small issue with our food and he handled it like a professional. CRU is lucky to have him serving their guests.
Loved getting dinner here. The food was excellent, the wine was excellent, the atmosphere was classy yet fun. It was hitting all my buttons. And then the bartender gave us a full blown lesson in champagne with our half-price bottle to really thoroughly impress me. Cant wait to go back
This is best described as an upscale wine bar, and not really a restaurant. They do have some food but theyre smaller plates. The pizzas they have are about 10 inches and good for sharing, and they do have about a half a dozen entree dishes but the focus here is really on the wine. With that note, I enjoyed to wine flights, number 7 and number 11, which featured great red varietals that I wasnt as familiar with. This was a great opportunity to get to know them at a reasonable price. The ambiance in scenery were also very nice, especially on a hot summer evening. Service was a little bit lacking, mainly from a waiter it was either new or simply answered any questions by reading what was on the menu.. That being said, if youre looking for after work drinks with colleagues or clients, this could be a nice top.
Just wanted to have a decent dinner with my fiancé for reservation I had made and left with nothing. The hostess pointed out the table where we should have been seated.. big mistake. We left for 50 mins came back and no change. People were still seated where we should have been seated. No effort or accommodations were made. Can’t say I will be coming back especially if I cannot trust them to keep my reservation.
Delightful place! Came in for a bit of wine and really wanted to cancel my dinner reservations and stay here. Cant wait to come back and try their food. Their glass wine selection seems underwhelming at first, but they have selected fantastic choices, so theres something for everyone
Wine flights, great food and accommodating staff! Definitely will visit again.
Was in town and was recommended to Cru by an associate. Will be ignoring his recommendations in the future. Accommodations were beyond limited. While the wine list was extensive the food options left much to be desired. Prices for wine were phenomenal, however the quality of their food was way to low to be priced accordingly. While my server seemed mildly knowledgeable and recommended me a flight. I was taken aback by the lack of professional appearance from many of the employees.
Great wine. Food needed better execution. We were there Sat afternoon prior to a Braves game. It was full. Staff was great.
So many different options to choose from for the wine flights!! the pear & gorgonzola pizza is also a must. we didn’t have to wait long at all and were seated almost right away! this location is super convenient inside the battery and was the perfect break in our busy afternoon.
Not to packed , food is amazing 10/10I have filet mignon and the appetizer meat balls it was amazing , not to loud and smack dab in the middle of it love will go again and a great wine list . A must go.
Great selection of wine in the atmosphere was conducive to relaxing and enjoying a good vintage. Wonderful service great wine selection but unfortunately we did not have time to eat so I cant review the menu. Highly recommended
If I could give any less than one star I would.We had reservations for 8:15 so we showed up a few mins early, we were told our table would be ready very soon so we waited a few minutes in the “lobby” and then decided to walk around while we waited, expecting a phone call once our table was ready. While out walking realizing it was now 8:30 and received no call, we went back here to see what was going on just to talk with the hostess that no change had occurred in overturning tables. We decided to wait in the “lobby” again for another 10 minutes. After being annoyed and fed up we left. How does a place take reservations at a certain time and then have them wait over 45 mins for their table??? Ridiculous. We won’t be coming here again.
I have been there twice and have very good experience. The food is delicious and fresh. Great choices for all tastes. The wine selection is great; from flights to try different types if wine to good solid wines for a glass. I will be back again, that is for sure. Also join their club, they send you free items and preposted events.
Great place for any occasion. Went for a snack and wine with a colleague and had a great experience. Our server was top notch, restaurant was clean with meticulous serve ware and the food options were well thought out. Crü is a small chain, I think there may be 4 around the country, but you can not tell as their service was superb. I visit the Denver airport location sometimes and they have the same level or service.
We absolutely love Aiden at our dinner! Definitely going to come back. He was enthusiastic and so helpful, and I’m very thankful for him making my 21st the best!
I had my graduation get together there and i was impressed with how well my waiter kept up with everything. They were super friendly and the atmosphere was just so perfect. great spot.
I had my laid back 48th birthday there this evening. The waitress was amazing, the food yummy, and the wine options almost endless. Its such a great place!
I loved the brunch. So disappointed in myself that I never knew about it. I had the omelet with black truffle mushrooms, goat cheese, and spinach. It was pretty big but very fresh and piping hot. That was one of the best omelets Ive had! Plus the mimosas are $3! COVID-19: they have plenty of patio seating but you can also dine inside. All of the servers wore masks correctly. I took off one star because they let some folks inside without masks on. Tisk tisk. Masks should be enforced yall.
For our 2nd visit I was excited to visit on a Monday to partake in a free pizza with purchase of bottle of wine. Great selection of wines at all prices. After waiting for more than an hour for pizza and having already finished wine, lost the appeal of returning again if for food. While the pizza finally showed up and was quite good, the excuse by the bartender was the pizza oven is small and there was a rush on orders. Unfortunately for Cru, there was another couple at the bar who arrived after us and was served food before us. They actually had finished their food for about 30 minutes before our food had even arrived. Beware - dont go for the food, just the wine.May 2021 - Have since returned to Cru many times for both food and wine and they have their act together. I visited last Tuesday for National Wine Day and they were slammed. But the food didnt take long at all. I recommend highly.
We ate here before a game and I have to admit that the reason was only because there was no line. I will never eat anywhere at the Battery again. It was absolutely phenomenal! Do yourself a favor and try the goat cheese beignets!!
Food and wine were absolutely amazing! We got a few bottles the owner suggested and tried several appetizers. Will definitely go back. One tip - if youre there late in the afternoon, the dont have any shades on the windows and the sun is shining right at you while you dine.
My friends and I werent greeted at the door and when we finally were it wasnt really a greeting someone just walked up to us and said follow me. After we were seated about three tables around us that were seated after us had a Waiter/waitress service their table bring them water, take their orders and we still havent even been looked at. Finally when our waitress looked in our direction she didnt apologize or anything like that she just said oh I didnt know. Ok fine but she still didnt come over for a few more minutes at that point we just got up and left. Seems like a pretty cool place but unfortunately we were never given the opportunity to find out.
I came in and had the tomato basil soup and crab cake sandwich. I also had the rose cider. All was very delicious.I got weird vibes from the daytime bartender. She was pretty rude when I came in and asked for a specific server. Throughout my meal, I felt like she kept looking/ staring at me and talking about me with the customers at the bar.I also observed how she treated the fellow servers with disdain. It was overall rude and made for an uncomfortable experience as i was only 1 of 3 guests.
I was blown away by my first experience at Cru. The wine, food, and atmosphere were ALL fantastic, but Meghan at the bar was the real star of the show. She helped us taste and select an amazing flight and then helped us pair it with the right snacks for tasting. Ill admit that Im not terribly knowledgeable about wine, but I know great service when I see it and this was it. Meghan made us feel welcome, asked the questions to help us make good selections, and added personality to the experience that made it truly memorable. Ill definitely be back!
Food was good. We did a wine flight! My flight was great! The place was clean.
I walked in waited for at 45 minutes and no one, no one came to talk to me. If I could give 0 stars I could. Horrible customer service.
The wine was good and the atmosphere was nice. The cheese fondue was good and kind of unique. The steak pizza on the other hand (I forget the menu name) was more like iceberg lettuce pizza with a tiny sliver or two of steak on the whole thing. Really weird and disappointing. Overpriced for what you get. I wouldnt go back unless just to have a glass of wine. Not a place to have dinner at.
One of the best places for food at the battery. We had an excellent lunch with many good wine pairings served as a flight. Lunch fare was delicious but also light enough to continue on adventuring in the second half of your day. There is something for everyone here. Outdoor seating was available but we chose to sit inside because of the wind.
I had the opportunity to visit for an after work event. The staff was very attentive. The beignet stuffed with goat cheese was delish. The different wine options were great. Im not a wine person but the options I tried were very good.
The food was good but the service was beyond slow. It took over an hour to get a salad when there were only 18 people in the restaurant including myself. If youre hungry I would choose a quicker option. To make everything worse the wait staff was making excuses for why it took so long. We ordered salad. No excuse. That being said, one we finally received our food everything was delicious.
Great date night spot. Good food. A large selection of wine. The staff was great.
Edit to my previous review: The restaurant reached out to me to try and fix our last experience. They went above and beyond and I am very appreciative. I will review again once weve been back to try the food again.This used to be one of my favorite restaurants. Its been probably almost a year since I had been, until last night. My husband and I decided to grab some wine and a couple appetizers. I have never had a sauvignon blanc I didnt like. Last night, I found 2. We both the the sauvignon blanc flight and were both very disappointed The first one was fine, nothing special. The second was undrinkable, absolutely terrible. And the third was just not good. The server said the sauvignon blanc flight hadnt been doing very well. We ordered the crab & avocado bruschetta, tuna tartare, and the charcuterie board for appetizers. We had ordered the first 2 before and they were amazing. This time they were not. Neither of them had very much taste to them. Also, they were all served with the same bread. Youd think they would change it up a little. The charcuterie board was good, nothing special though. I remember this place being so flavorful and we were very disappointed last night. I almost wonder if they got a new chef since we were last there. Im not sure well be back.
Great selection and good apps. Bar tender was very friendly and knowledgeable.
Its either hit or miss for this location. One visit we came with a group of eight for brunch. The restaurant was not busy for a Sunday, yet the turnaround for food was horrendous. Two people from our party didnt receive their food until everyone was done and countless orders came out incorrect or cold. However, weve visited after a Braves game and couldnt be happier with the service and overall experience.
Ordered cheese plate & it was AMAZING! The wine selection is superb. The bartender allowed a taste test before ordering a glass. She was great! (:
2 hours and several people not able to get what they ordered. Food came out at different times. Waiter had no clue what was on the menu and was barely at our table. Ended up canceling a salad and that still had not arrived and still waited 20 minutes for the check. Terrible experience.
Extreme lack of professionalism. Management quality and attention to detail lacking. 1/10 and would recommend avoiding. Food and environment was mediocre at best and servers seemed more interested in chatting with each other than serving their patrons. Most milled around the bar instead of attending to their tables. Overall disappointed and will gladly not return.
Wine was good if you order the right one, food just soso. Our waitress should have more knowledge thought and interest in the customers. Didnt offer a parking validation and we werent aware of an activity parking charge, so ended up paying 20.00. all in all, over payed experience.
Love this place!!! Awesome for date nights!!!! Food is amazing. Wine is even better. Check with them for wine and champagne specials. You can also order bottles to go. Great place!!
Everything about this place was so chill. The menu is the perfect size and the wine flights are great. Our waiter was wonderful and paid a lot of attention to us. I truly do recommend
Went as part of a group of 6 and we were all underwhelmed. Their website says Thursdays are half price champagne night. But when we got there, they said that is only at their other locations and there is some fine print somewhere where it is spelled out. We order wine and a cheese board. When the cheese board came, out reaction was “is this all of it”. Very skimpy. More green grapes than anything else. The food was just ok. We were told that they didn’t have a market special, which is their special dish of the evening.Don’t get the pizza. Very little toppings on them and not very good. I ordered the flatbread and it was just that, a piece of flat bread. Had to put on my readers to see any toppings.Too many other choices to try CRU again.
One of my favorite spots in the Battery. Wine selection is well curated and reasonably priced. I dont mind paying around 100% markup for a nice bottle of wine. Food menu is small but eclectic.
I had an AMAZING evening with friends!! The food and wine, Baby blu red waa excellent!! Our server Savannah was awesome!! Eric Hawkins the assistant gm was very attentive!! Met the GM from Avalon Eric Foster!! Super nice!! Thanks for making our evening!
The lobster and shrimp potstickers were great! The cheese board and the scallops with risotto were amazing too. The wine flights were terrific. Great staff. Will be back!
My friend and I grab a bottle of wine and some food on a regular basis. We love Cru! The staff is friendly and knows us well enough to make suggestions and/or make custom cheese boards.
Cru was our preferred pre-concert/game stop before the experience this past weekend. Two couples met there before the Yacht Rock show at the Roxy (FUN!) - we came in to patio-sit-sip-chat-munch. It really is a great environment for this type activity - the tables, stools, couches all encourage exactly this. Between the two couples we spent >$200 for ~1.5 hours at both the bar (while we waited for outside table) and then seated outside at table along the wall. Our server at the bar was stellar - quick, funny, and attentive. Our server at the outside table (Akeel) started off well but - not his fault apparently - he quickly became overwhelmed with tables. Water and vino came out very fast but the food was backed up for 30+mins (flatbread pizza, charcuterie, etc) afterward. He apologized repeatedly and effectively noted his manager had caused this mess by over-seating (?). It wasnt just us - EVERY TABLE outside was complaining - some never got served and just left. The manager?...seemingly didnt care...no acknowledgement, no apology, no real ownership/management. Disappointing. We really like this place but wow - an attentive and caring manager (or better trained staff?) would help things a lot there.
This place is a spectacle to say the least. They have different daily specials and one of the most extravagant collections of wine to choose from definitely a place that I would recommend and visit again
Great atmosphere, had an amazing server and service! A couple of apps we had were just OK, but the ahi tartare was phenomenal, as was the silsiccia pizza! Nice wine selection and flights. Will go back!
👎👎👎👎👎Nobody greeted us at the door. The wait staff just was looking at us standing there. Someone finally came over to seat us...no smile, no warm greeting, just blah. The waiter was fake and very condescending. Service was slow. They have no sense of urgency at all. The entire place needs an attitude adjustment from the top down. This place will not make it with the holier than thou attitude. I tried giving this place a second chance...more of the same. The second time is was I actually actually witnessed one of the employees having an altercation with a patron! HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE. They take themselves waaaaay to seriously. Get over yourselves. There are to many other wonderful restaurants in the Battery to bother with this one. 👎👎👎👎👎
Average dinner spot. Steak underdone. Ordered medium rare, got rare. The hostess had to ask the manager to move her “office” at the bar. (No seats left) Manager moved around the corner from me. (Weird that office work is done at the bar during the dinner seating) Got to enjoy sitting at the bar while watching someone do paperwork about 10” from my hands.
I only gave a one star to be able to write a review. They are terrible! I have been to many many wine bars and spent $$&&&& in many fine restaurants. We told them we were in a hurry for a concert & we were wearing our Harley Davidson T-shirt’s. Not sure if tbis is why but shame on them. They didn’t serve us & we got up & left! Never coming back!
Came to the battery for the first time a few weeks ago and saw Cru and realized it was in my passbook so I made a note to come back. So today my cousin and I came here for lunch today and thoroughly enjoyed ourself. It was a beautiful day so we sat outside. It also happened to be game day for the Braves so they were using their game day menu vs their regular menu. Our server Adrienne was helpful and attentive. He explained the wine flights to us and made sure to keep our waters full. We ordered the cabernet wine flight, I had the philly cheesesteak, and my cousin had the filet mignon. My philly had a good portion of meat, cheese, and peppers, and the flavors were amazing!! This is def a place you want to visit on a beautiful day and sit outside, have conversation, and people watch (lol).
Really good wine selection. Very tasty entrees, nicely proportioned. A bit noisy for conversation but not bad at all. Great place for a good meal and wine
Love Cru! Savannah and Cheyenne is the best!
The atmosphere is great and they have a nice selection of wines and tapas. Great for a date, hanging with friends, or enjoy their girls night out event.
Amazing wine. Great courteous staff. Good food. We will be back.
Really great menu, affordable wine, and knowledgeable staff. Been here for drinks, dinner, and their tastings. Very well executed and really happy they have a location in the Battery.
We will be returning to this sweet spot. Great atmosphere, our waitress was really helpful and courteous. It’s a lot of fun tasting wine!!
We went on a Wednesday night ...the place wasn’t packed at all...it’s not baseball season...nothing. It took 45 mins to get our appetizer..we asked a few times and were casually told that the outside was busy...once we received our appetizer, it took another 40 mins to receive our dinner and it was WRONG!!!! I’m sorry, but when you’re paying out the ass for wine...get the damn food out in a respectful manner and make sure it’s correct!!! There is no way when arriving at 7:30 pm on a Wed on non event night ...that we didn’t leave until 10pm!!!
Perfect restaurant for a girls night out. Great wine and great food! We all did different wine tastings. The tomato soup and grilled cheese was delicious!
Spent 40 minutes here and the server barely acknowledged my table!! Only got tap water and I when I tried to order wine they didn’t take my foreign ID. I guess tourists are not welcome. Had to leave because our server never showed up again.Step it up!!!
Chicken sandwich was served “cru” even though it was sliced in half before being brought to the table. So raw that I wondered if I had ordered ahi tuna. Sent back, 2nd attempt was also raw. Service was kind but extremely slow.
Went to a tech meeting here and while the location is small, we were all comfortable and the food was quite good. Staff was very friendly and helpful even though there were probably more of us than they were expecting.
Disappointed they closed right after the Braves won the NLCS. You would think they would want to stay open for the celebration
Saturday brunch with Bae. Very clean food was delicious, server was great and explained everything. Will visit again.
Allison, our waitress, was an absolute delight. The brunch food was good, but nothing to WOW about.
Very good food. Excellent service. Very impressed. Pricing is very fair. Will definitely be back and enjoy a wonderful meal again. Great experience. Highly recommended.
The selection of wine is unbeatable!! The glasses theyre served in are beautiful and real crystal! The food is delish! And the service Lindsey at the battery park location was excellent!!
My Fiancé and I came to this Cru location and overheard another patron conversing an employee name Myia in a very harsh tone. She was upset there was no more fresh orange juice and threaten to report her to corporate. Idk if she did, but I’m writing you to say that Myia was nothing short of a complete delight. She was friendly and professional with us and every patron we saw. We spent about a Hr longer than we intended, and spent way more than we expected due to her great service 😊. Give her a raise!
Great menu, focused on Southern cuisine. Outstanding wine list with knowledgeable staff/somelier to recommend pairings.
Enjoyed our 1st dinning experience with great staff that was very helpful on selections of fine wine and dinner selections. Will return often, TKS John and crew
Need reservation. Very good food and wine menu. Had a good time with our family. Meg, our waitress, could not have been better.
The scallops with risotto are delicious! Be sure to ask for Myia. Shes very knowledgeable and can make a great recommendation on wine pairing.
The manager, Dave, was extremely customer oriented and demonstrated high levels of empathy. Will be back based on this interaction.
Nice atmosphere, great wine and food is not bad either just not a great selectionOverall great night out spot
The wine was great, the food was perfect and just the right amount. I recommend getting the goat cheese beignets and the red zin flight.
Just stopped by for a beer to avoid the traffic.Just a wonderful venue with cold beverage and courteous service.Can’t wait to return and partake of their mouth watering menu!Brian👍
Great staff! Very friendly accompanied by a classy yet relaxed environment. Perfect place to unwind with very affordable wine flights!
Great food, service and atmosphere! Will definitely go back! Great place for company function.
If you cannot find anything to eat at the battery you are not hungry all of the food is very pricey but it is very safe and good
Great restaurant with a very good wine selection. Chelsea behind the bar is awesome. Definitely a place to go when youre at the battery.
Came in at 5 pm on a Friday was seated immediately but not one person came back to the table. Took me 15 minutes before I decided to leave. Don’t plan on coming back
Great food and excellent wine selection.
Love the atmosphere here. Food was really good and the wine was excellent.
I had hair in my food, i bit into it and realized afterwards. Overall the food was ok!
A small but airy dining room, with a great little patio right in the center of the action at The Battery, and an amazing wine list with a huge selection of flights!
Very good 👌 - Service was also very good - Wish they had bigger beer selection, but the ones they did have were good
Fairly certain this location gave me food poisoning. Hard to stomach paying over 80$ on a tab and then spending the next 72 hours sicker than I’ve ever been
Service was excellent. All of the staff were very friendly and professional. Food is outstanding but the portions are small and a bit overpriced.
Food was amazing, extensive wine menu, good service, plus great outdoor seating for people watching.
Great food and wine selection. Best food outside SunTrust Park. A nice place to go before a game or to relax and let the crowds thin afterwards.
I love this place the staff and food are always heart warming. Brunch is excellent.
Great place to hang in the battery. Very good wine selection and interesting small plates and apps to share.
Terrible customer service. Left Cru and had a great experience at C. Elliot at the Battery.
Good appetizers, meal was just ok. Tight space inside.
Excellent! Wines are pricey but worth it. Food was excellent. Service was terrific.
I love the fact I get good service no matter who is at the bar and no matter how I look I still get the best service we’ll respected place !!! I love the vibes !!
Worst service ever. Do not come here. Waited over an hour for our food and it never came.
I love the wine selection, staff are top-notch, and the food is excellent!

2021-11-23Fantastic wine bar! There were so many sharable players that I couldnt decide! The ghost cheese croquettes and the fig & gorgonzola are must haves. The charcuterie plate was good, but dont feel bad if you order a shareable instead of it. The salmon was good. The tuna needed a sauce or drizzle of something to make it pop, but if you prefer more mild flavors, go for it. I want to try the truffle pizza if I get to go again.

2021-11-28The food was sooooo good here! We started out with the Goat Cheese Beignets which were perfectly gooey and crunchy at the same time. My friend had the Steak Frites which she thought was delicious. For my main I had the Shrimp Scampi. The risotto beneath the scampi was super flavorful. We didnt try any desserts but if they are anything like the shareable plates or the mains then Im sure they are also delicious. We had a little bit of a service snafu because of a switchover but all in all a really good dining experience!

2022-04-26We had the pleasure of being served by Cheyenne. She was so warm and welcoming! Not to mention knowledgeable with her recommendations! Definitely recommend visiting when in town.

2022-04-30We came here on a Saturday for a late lunch and the food and service were equally terrible. We ordered appetizers and they were fine so it seem like we might be off to a good start. Before the appetizers came my husband was sitting looking at the menu to figure out what he would order for dinner and the waitress came out and took the menu right out from in front of him to clear the table for the appetizers. It was weird and rude. When my husband jokingly mentioned it to her she just shrugged and said she was clearing the table. No apology or anything for snatching a menu out from under him while he was reading it. Not earth shattering but definitely very rude. When our actual food came it was horrible. The stir fry was unseasoned, the risotto tasted like oil. My daughter ordered a pasta dish with a cream sauce that was completely watery and I had a tenderloin that was also unseasoned and awful. The worst $160 I’ve ever spent at a restaurant and the first time in my life that I didn’t leave a nice tip. I would give zero stars if I could.

2021-05-30Very cute place at the battery. We had the Waygu meatballs and a pizza and they were both delicious. Their pizza crust is very good and the meatballs were served in a delicious sauce. Large selection of wines and varied food menu. Service was attentive and fast, thank you to Vanessa.

2021-08-10My absolute favorite place at the Battery. Their patio is dog friendly. The beignets are wonderful. For dinner, they are filled with goat cheese with a honey sauce and for brunch they have chocolate raspberry sauce. The cru steak pizza is delicious. The lamb lollipops, short rib, charcuterie, and cheese board are all must try. Seriously one of my favorite places in Atlanta.

2022-03-25Taking a Moment to Share the Magnificent Experience I had at CRU Wine Bar at The Battery on Saturday, March 19. I celebrated my birthday there with 13 of my closest friends. I couldnt have been more impressed with the incredible service and delicious food. We had one server for our entire table. His name is Aiden and he was spectacular. He didnt miss a beat and everyone spoke so highly of him, the beauty of the restaurant, and how great the food was. Highly recommend this before going to a game, celebrating a special day, or just to have a delightful experience.

2022-05-21Visiting from Chicago, I wasnt sure what to expect for food quality, but Crú did not disappoint! The shrimp scampi saffron risotto was delicious! I also got to try some of the truffle pizza which was hard to stop eating. The only thing more welcoming than the food was our server, Aiden, full of charm and southern hospitality! Another server, Ethan, made an excellent wine recommendation that the whole table enjoyed. I will definitely be back next time I am in town! 🥂

2022-01-12Definitely not a safe space. Came into this location expecting a good wine down with my friend - and got none of this. Walked in and immediately felt racially profiled. After being seated, and telling our waitress it was our first time, we were told to just take a look at the menu and she would come back and she never did. Did not feel welcome at all - constant stares by other guests - and will not be going back. 0/10 would recommend.
