Excellent service with an amazing staff and manager! Hands down best place to have wine in Fort Worth!
Enjoyed the evening. Starting with a wine flight and a cheese plate. Followed this up with a great watercress salad and then added shareable lamb chops which were exceptional Also the service was great
It was sooo good and such a cute atmosphere. Our waitress was from Belgium but I cannot remember her name, but she was great and very helpful for my girlfriends food allergies. Pricey but a great date night!
Great atmosphere! The food was excellent! Try the fondue with a wine flight. Ask for Sarah. She will help you select your wine flight.
Service was great; we were dressed casual, and still we felt welcome inside and outside the patio. The food was doozy for me. I tried the salmon with asparagus and Brussel sprouts. 0 seasoning. And full of a non flavorful liquid. I mean, not even a pinch of salt I could taste. Now the scallops with risotto, that was flavorful. Salty but good balance. 👍 I wouldn't have dinner again as a foodie here. Furthermore, felt like a great place to start the evening.
Great wine bar in Clearfork. The bartenders and wait staff are amazing. They have great food and fun specials. My favorites are the fondue and goat cheese balls. The flights are always fun and change frequently. I always enjoy my time here.
Cru Food & Wine Bar is in a great location at The Shops at Clearfork. Meal presentation and food taste is top notch. Never had a bad meal here and the burgers are amazing! The only downside is that the service is lacking and unfriendly.
Wonderful Restaurant week menu.
Will go back. Check out the pictures and go enjoy!
We enjoyed happy hour at Cru Food and Wine in the upscale Clearfork area of Fort Worth. Happy Hour runs Monday - Friday from 3:00 - 6:30 and includes $3.00 off each glass of wine or wine flights and several appetizers for $6.00 - $8.00 each: Wagyu Meatballs, Ahi Tartare, Goat Cheese Beignets, Fritto Misto and Margarita Pizza.
Pros - Wine flights are served with a laminated card including the names and flavor profiles of each. We enjoyed the Ahi Tartare that was served on crisps with avocado, cucumber, tomato, cilantro and citrus olive tapenade - equal parts crispy, creamy and refreshing… but desperately needed some salt. We also enjoyed the Goat Cheese Beignets which arrived lightly fried, creamy inside, drizzled in honey and sprinkled with black pepper - a perfect bite of sweet and savory! The dinner menu consists of cheese flights, appetizers, pizzas, and five “favorites” which include fillet mignon, roasted chicken, shrimp, salmon and short rib. The seating areas include a full bar and an outdoor patio for people-watching. Take out orders are easy with a reserved parking spot by the front door. Perfect for girl’s night, birthdays, graduations or celebrations.
Cons - The background music was a few notches too high for conversation, and one entire side of the restaurant, including the bar, was filled with people who where throwing a private party. The party was loud, the attendees were blocking the door going in/out to the patio area and allowing the air conditioning to go with them. While we still enjoyed our time, the party in this very small space was extremely overwhelming and the flow in and out of the front door/patio area created both a maze to get through and a fire hazard in an emergency. The Ahi Tuna lacked seasoning and there were no salt or pepper shakers on the tables. Service is on the slower side, especially when the servers are catering to big parties. Be sure to ask if they are hosting any big events when you call to make your reservations and reschedule your visit if so. Allow an additional 15 minutes to find a parking spot or to park in the parking garage as parking anywhere in Clearfork is a challenge.
Great food, great atmosphere; I will certainly return
I discovered Cru on an enforced layover at DFW Airport some years ago but only returned today because they advertised a fixed-price 3-course Thanksgiving meal. As soon as I walked in, I felt at home. As I said to the manager later, it is obvious that this is a place where the staff knows what they are doing and cares about what they are doing.
The food was great, and the braised short ribs, served with goat cheese polenta and chanterelle mushrooms, were so tender that I didn't even need my knife. The chef came to my table and said he began learning his trade at 12, in his parents' restaurant. The menu includes very knowledgeable wine recommendations, offered in flights of three 2-oz. glasses, or wine by the glass, or by the bottle. I enjoyed some outstanding reds and, later, champagne. My coffee with dessert was served in a French press.
I had two or three suggestions for improvements, which I shared with the manager, but overall, I heartily recommend this place and plan to come back in the near future.
A great place for Girls Night Out! We shared a couple of cheese flights, pizza and all had wine. Our waitress was very accommodating, friendly and knowledgeable.
Update: We celebrated my birthday at Cru this week. It was fun with a group trying different wines. They have expanded the menu since we were there before. Great service from our waiter!
I went here late at night and got the pizza it was not filling but unbelievably savory. Every bite was phenomenal. I had a glass of Riesling with it. Very good. My only complaint was the bugs I know we are outside but spraying it would go a long way.
