Cru Cafe

Loved it! The fact it is located on Motley Lane and is called Cru Cafe - just a brilliant touch. Excellent food and hospitality. Booking is essential.

A local friend recommended this place and we were not disappointed. Very excellent service from lovely lady named Fawn. As a big foodie my self I was VERY impressed with this food. You can tell the chef takes pride in this cooking and presentations. Bravo. ????????????????

Wow. My group of 13 were vacationing from FL and didn’t know much about where to eat in Charleston. I found Cru Cafe quickly on Google and we headed that way. Parking was a little tight and the restaurant was busy. I was concerned the wait may be too long and my friends wouldn’t want to wait. The host/manager (super nice guy with a gnarly mustache) greeted me and told me he had a room upstairs that could accommodate my large party. He said “just give me like 5-10 minutes to get the room set up.” What luck! The waitress was polite and worked her tail off bringing our food and drinks up and down the stairs.. Food was spectacular! I had the goat cheese appetizer and the tagliatelle shrimp pasta. Everyone else said their meals were amazing. After we paid and had left the restaurant, super gnarly mustache guy came outside to ask how our meal was and thanked us for coming. My wife and I are considering coming back to Charleston for our anniversary and Cru will be a lunch spot for sure..

Wow. Just wow.

The food here is wonderful, as is the service. It's reputation goes back over 20 years. Our first trip to Charleston last year had us wishing we had made reservations, so this year we got ourselves booked early. So glad we did.

Can't wait to return again next time we visit.

“Fantastic” Food,The Best Service!
The preparation and Flavors of the food are OUTSTANDING!
This is our Favorite restaurant in Charleston!

Everything is prepared Better than any 5 star restaurant and Very Reasonably Priced.
I can’t stress enough how much my wife and I enjoyed our meal!
We try to come every year and this is our 1st choice!
Make reservations...they are a must!
It’s a smaller facility so space is a premium.
PS
You must finish with dessert!
You will Not regret your decision,
