Stopped in for happy hour Friday and the ambiance was nice and the staff/service very friendly. However, the meatballs had no taste at all. I don't think any seasoning was spared and the sauce was bland as well. It was extremely disappointing but my wine selection was great. I would only come back for the drinks unfortunately.

Came here on a whim while walking through the Battery, sat outside to people watch. The waiter was great, very knowledgeable and friendly. I ended up getting a Sprite in a very fancy glass instead of wine but I will be back to taste some of the wines they have a lot of options to choose from. The charcuterie was good and the meatballs were heavenly, I couldn't stop dipping the bread in the sauce.

Filet mignon
Kourtney W.

The filet mignon was very good and worth it! Nice waitress as well ! Personally didn't care to sit outside due to some minor nats but other than that it was nice to be in the fresh air !

A really nice vibe. We came just at the right time so it wasn't packed, but it definitely filled up quick. We sat at the bar with some amazing bartenders. The margherita pizza was real good & the wines were real tasty as well. We missed happy hour but will definitely be back!

It's too expensive for what it is. The wine flights are essentially one glass of wine divided into three, so you're paying $32 for one glass of wine. Absurd. The service is fine and the food is ok, but it's just not worth the price.

Each and every time I go here.... exceptional service, food and ambiance. I love the white wine sweet flight..... a go to for me, even several while Im there lol All food items are fresh to order and beautifully plated. I love the fried calamari, my favorite, its listed as the Fritto Misto. One of my favorite stops at Truist Park.

Pretty in pink flight

I did the pretty in pink flight, very generous pours and great location for people watching. My waitress was great and the crab spinach artichoke dip was a great snack. Next time I'll sit inside and check out the vibe:

I thought I'd already reviewed this place but let's try this again. Cru is located inside the Battery. I went because a friend wanted to try it out. I was pleasantly surprised with the basically everything - food, service, and ambiance. The goat cheese n honey appetizer is absolutely lovely. My food was hot n good and there was great service.

We surprisingly had a pleasant experience at Cru. We stopped here for a quick bite before heading inside Truist Park. We arrived around 5:30 and there were still empty tables both inside and outside. We got wonderful service as soon as we walked in and were seated right away. Our server, Nick, was very attentive. It was our first time there and he told us the popular items to get. I asked for the happy hour menu but was told that's only available on non-game days. Both my husband and I ordered a glass of wine and shared the goat cheese beignets, shrimp and lobster potstickers, and wagyu meatballs. The beignets is a must get! It's filled with goat cheese and loved the cracked black pepper on the honey. The potstickers and meatballs were both recommended but the potstickers were a miss for me. It was topped with a sweet chili sauce but definitely on the spicier side. The meatballs only came with 2 but was a pretty decent size. It was a tad too salty for my taste when eating it alone, but tasted better when eating it with the bread. We were in and out of here in 45 mins. They also have quite a selection of wine and wine flights available. Will definitely keep this place in mind next time we're at the Battery!

There's a few reasons why I'm giving this place to stars. It's not necessarily because of the drinks, some of the food didn't really live up to par. However, it's specifically the service we received from the manager. For starters, our direct server was amazing, she was helpful and accommodating. because on the website it promoted the bottomless mimosa brunch on certain days however, when we arrived, we learned that it is not bottomless mimosas on game days. The server was able to help us pivot and give us other options which resulted in us purchasing a few different bottles of champagne. At first, they mentioned that they didn't have any sort of orange juice or anything. But eventually, someone was able to retrieve some or shoes from the kitchen. That just put a sour taste in our mouth because it was my friends birthday and the plan was brunch and bottomless mimosas but we were able to turn it around and I'm happy about that! we made reservations for 11 AM and we got there a little bit early maybe about 5 to 10 minutes early and the doors to the restaurant was open. When we walked in the manager had what I felt like an unapproachable and unwelcoming persona. The way she looked at us when we walked in, didn't sit right with me. she did explain that the restaurant wasn't open and then immediately closed the doors however, her delivery when relaying that message wasn't really exhibiting great customer care in my opinion. She also brought a level of discomfort when we sat in the restaurant I felt as if again she wasn't inviting an approachable. As far as the food or appetizers were better than my meals. I got a pizza because I figured you can't go wrong with that however, the margarita pizza was probably the one of the worst I've ever had. not to say that it was terrible as some people may enjoy it, but I recommend getting something else. we did enjoy the calamari and the other appetizers that we got! Overall, I wouldn't recommend maybe this location because I've heard so many great things about this restaurant. With that, I would consider going to the other location in downtown!

Pinot Flight
Bill A.

Nice experience. The total rating of 3.5 is a little low. This is a solid 4 star restaurant. The service was very good and waiter was attentive and knowledgeable on the food and wine menu. I had a few flights of wine and they were all very good. See photos for the wine. I had the pinot noir, spanish and the blend. In would favor the pinot blend that had robust flavors without being too sweet. The other flights were still very good. Went with the tuna tartare for an appetizer. Excellent flavor and paring with the guacamole. Kent with the trout for the main course. It was lightly fried and came with couscous. The fry on the fish was light and done very well. The couscous was also good. The atmosphere was perfectly laid back to chill with friends.

Delicious food, comfortable atmosphere, lovely outdoor dining space, attentive service. Great wine selection. Quiet at lunch time. Fabulous for brunch.

We went for late lunch....party of 10. We were seated immediately. I was advised they had limited menus and could only give us 3. (Please invest in printable menus or a barcode to scan/this was inconvenient to say the least). Our waiter was nice and he did his best to keep check on us. We eventually ordered. Now....it took an hour to get food. I don't agree with the.." let's bring out all food together" when there is a large party. If it is coming out around the same time then there should be no problem. I've definitely been to restaurants who have a disclaimer that they bring food out as it is done. With that being said. A lot of our food was luke warm. We were all starving by this point so we ate it. One dish was incorrect as they requested no sausage (they did not eat that particular meat/dietary restriction) and it was sent back immediately. Our waiter came back about 15 mins later to say they had no more nachos. SMH. He cancelled his order and went without. Very inconvenient. Another person sent back food due to the bun being rock solid. Honestly my bun and another's were a bit on the "crispy" side but we ate it. I don't understand why cooks know they are this way but still decide to plate the food. Nevertheless, the food was okay. Maybe would've been better if it was hot. The nachos per 3 people stated they were "extremely " spicy. One was unable to finish their meal. And yes, they do like spicy food. We were initially advised prior we would have 1 check, which is outlandish these days bc just bc you are with a group doesn't mean we know each other...but that's another conversation. But...we were able to make separate payments. (Individually and some couples). I'm not sure I would be back but if I could get food a little quicker and hotter I may have a different outlook on the spot.

See all

My wife and I enjoy wine tastings and visiting wineries, so we were excited to finally have a night…read moreto check out this local wine market. Unfortunately, the service brought your score down. We had a reservation for dinner and the young lady who initially met us, did not even ask us this. She greeted us with, "we have an event going on, so seating is tight." OK - Well I have reservation. That seemed to help her find us a table. When she sat us, she handed us one menu for my wife and I. No wine list, (at a wine market) and no introduction. After 5-6 minutes, our server came out and said hello, but did not bring water or the wine list still. But, she did inform us again about the event going on. WE know restaurants are busy on weekends and even more so in the holiday season, but the constant reminders of "The event" does two things, one the servers are creating an excuse to say, you are going to receive slow service, and two, it felt like, how dare we show up during an event night. Finally on our servers 2nd visit, we were able to receive a second menu and the wine list. We ordered the 6 piece charcuterie and two glasses of wine. The server who made the charcuterie board, was very pleasant and proud of her creation, and rightfully so, the board was beautiful and delicious. We enjoyed our wine choice and decided to buy a bottle, our server, had zero wine experience. She did not present the bottle to me, (I have the wrong bottles brought out on a few occasions, and this is just a common courtesy) she uncorked the bottle, did not present the cork, she poured from the bottle into glasses that already had wine, granted we ordered the same wine, but at a wine market with a big event, maybe two new glasses should have been brought out, just in case. Then after she poured our glasses, she DROPPED the cork on the floor, picks it up and sticks in our bottle. Do your servers do that with silverware? Then she began to walk away with our bottle, I asked her to please leave the bottle on the table. She was seemed like that was an odd request. Overall, if we could give half stars, I would say 3.5 for the review, it was saved by your charcuterie server, as well as the taste and quality of the meats and cheeses, as well as the wonderful selection of wines. We will be back and hopefully, you take these comments constructively, and have your servers trained up a little more to be assets to your establishment.

Not my favorite but it's ok. Good ambience and the handsome bartender helped me get through the…read morenight the pricing was reasonable for the amount of pour you get per glass. I just like my wines a little sweeter.

This was a first impression visit- party of 8. I called for a reservation. Special occasion on a…read moresaturday night at 8PM. Located in a suite next to a package store. Free small parking lot in front. Free extra parking across the street. The total was about $150 for 2 appetizers, 2 entrees, 2 drinks, and a dessert. Pros The quiet, intimate, and classy atmosphere was exactly what I needed for my family. When we first arrived, our table was not ready and we had to wait outside. However we were given continuous updates on when the table would be ready, they apologized, and they were very understanding. Considering we were a large party in an intimate space, we understood and only waited about 20 minutes before the table was ready. You could tell the food was fresh, the orders came fast, and the service was amazing. The fresh in house pasta took everything to the next level. It was the perfect night out. Cons The establishment is intimate so I do not think it would ideal for extra large parties. I had a party of 8 at 8PM but I dont know if they could have accomodated us if it was any earlier during prime dinner time. I wish they had a better parking situation but its not bad and its free. Would I Recommend: Absolutely! I will be returning! No complaints. Follow me here on Yelp and @jessreviewss on Tik Tok/Instagram for more.

I randomly decided that I wanted Italian so we decided to check them out for the first time. Mezza Luna is located in a very small plaza with a tight parking lot. I'm so glad that I read the reviews in advance about parking, but I still wasn't prepared for what we saw. Surprisingly, there were 2 or 3 open spots when we visited around 7pm. We had reservations and were quickly seated after being greeted. The restaurant itself was quite intimate, offering only a few tables that were laid out in a manner that had us all quite close. But it worked! Since we had our son with us, they already had a high chair ready for us but he slept through the entire dinner, which also shows how peaceful it actually was in there. I started with a glass of chianti and it paired perfectly with the complimentary starter bread. That focaccia was so fresh! The crust had a great crunch but it was still soft and fluffy inside. We went with the meatball appetizer special which included 4-5 meatballs covered in marinara, fresh tomatoes and burrata. They were delicious, although the tomatoes being cold was a bit of a surprise. For dinner, I went for the chicken piccata and my partner opted for the chicken marsala. Both were great and packed with flavor. Such an unassuming place with tons of flavor waiting inside - perfect for date night or just a nice Italian dinner!

My prompt to my gpt this morning included "family owned, cozy place, food that hugs you like a grandma after a long time away, etc" this is one of the best places I've been in USA so far. I also woke up idealizing to only try new things and no repeats but I've already ordered a second drink haha I absolutely don't want to leave. As soon as you walk in they greet you and help you out, then the bartender (I came by myself so I sat on the bar) approached me with the most warmth and helped me getting something according to her experience and taste but considering my taste and preferences. The food came (quick for how busy it is 12 min) The food tastes just like a grandmas food that she's been working the entire day on it. I can't wait to be back here. Also I didn't have anything the entire day and couldn't finish my plate because the amount of food is way more than decent. Place is clean, music is great and volume even better, you can see families bringing their babies to enjoy meals here. Also everyone that works here and so nice and polite even if they're not serving you this is my favorite place from now on and I will not shut about it haha adding a picture of my drink (which we are repeating ) and plate that I'll be bringing the leftover home
