CRU Food & Wine Bar

Fenton is quickly becoming one of our favorite spots and we had the opportunity to stop in CRU for food and wine last night with another couple. We each started off with individual wine flights(rose, bubbles and Cabernet). Their menu had quite a few to choose from and they were reasonably priced. The wine was the best part of the evening as we found the food to be unfortunately overpriced and very underwhelming. We started with the wagyu meatballs which could have had more flavor and a simple heirloom tomato and burrata salad. Then we got the Margherita pizza and the Barolo Braised Short Rib. The pizza was disappointing and was too saucy. The short rib was the best thing we ate, but still pricy for what it was. We then got two orders of the Napa burger that we ordered medium and came out well done. The overdone burger and the sparse amount of fig jam and caramelized onions made for another disappointment food wise. We all had an additional glass of wine with some of the wrong ones being brought out on several occasions before calling it a night. Unfortunately we left there feeling like the food and service could have been better for $290 with tip. Not sure if we will be back here for anything other than wine and will hopefully have better luck at other restaurants at Fenton.

So happy we found this amazing wine bar! We sat at the bar and Sabrina took great care of us. Had a wonderful shrimp salad and glass of wine that hit the spot. The atmosphere was charming and festive and everyone looked like there were enjoying themselves. It's a definite spot to stop if you're in the area shopping or seeing a movie!

I have tried a few restaurants in Fenton but CRU blew me away! I was amazed by the wine flights and the many selections they had to choose from. The service was impeccable and very friendly with great recommendations on both food and wine. I had the Barolo Braised Short Ribs and they did not disappoint. I started with the Lobster and Shrimp Potstickers which had a nice spice from Chilies and Lemon Sauce beautifully balanced out by Cucumbers. The Short Ribs just fell apart and the Butternut Squash Risotto was full of flavor. I highly recommend CRU and I can't wait to go back and try new things. Don't miss out on this fun and exciting new spot, you won't be disappointed!

Been to CRU a few times now & each visit has been fantastic! I’ve done a few different flights, which have been so fun & was surprised by a few delicious whites (normally a red girl). The food is just impeccable, so yummy! High quality snacks that hit the spot. Goat Cheese Beignets, Ahi Tartar and Black Truffle Pizza are to die for. Something light or something a little more substantial they have it, & you can’t go wrong. Each dish enhances the wine perfectly & the experience is just fantastic. Brittany at the bar is wonderful, so knowledgeable & friendly, great recommendations on food & drinks! So happy to have such a fun & exciting new spot. I will be back for sure, can’t recommend it more! 100/10🤍

Loved this wine bar with a full service kitchen. The servers were friendly and knowledgeable. Had the braised short ribs with risotto and the meatballs appetizer. Couldn't ask for a better place to relax and enjoy some company.
