    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

    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.

    A friend turned me onto this old school small local vibe Italian restaurant…read more It doesn't look like much from the outside but it's a great place to grab some authentic homemade Italian. A bit off the beaten path and ponied up to a liquor store, this little gem is probably not a place I'd venture out to without a recommendation. And I'm so glad we had one. Great homemade pastas and other great Italian treats. Started off with some hot bread right out of the oven and then went for a caesar salad and a lovely gnocchi pasta from scratch..... delicious. The only thing I'd change is the caesar salad had way too much dressing. Everything else top notch. Including the service, which was fantastic.

    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.

    Finding myself enjoying more and more restaurants around Marietta Square. Such a cute quaint…read moredowntown. Only about 15min from my house in Smyrna and far enough from the freeway that it isn't always packed. Thankfully our friend Summer booked a reservation bc this spot gets busy!! First of all parking around the square can sometimes be tricky, but right behind Hamp & Harry's they had a paid parking lot. I believe it was under $10. Not bad and easy to get in and out. Don't park in the court parking lot it's like $20 bucks. Anywho, we came for brunch and right now they have it decked out in Harry Potter theme. Super cute!! It's def. ready for Halloween too!! I didn't get the best photos, but you must check out!! I think the menu is seasonal, but everything looked yummy!! We didn't get any appetizers on this visit, but we def. came hungry and devoured all our dishes. I think we had the French Toast, Duck Egg Benedict and Avocado Toast. Everything came out fresh and to order. Our waiter and the staff was super friendly and the ambiance was perfect. We will def. be coming back again to try some other dishes.

    I enjoyed the atmosphere, it was my first time there. They do a seasonal Decor, Fall is Harry…read morePottery, Winter is "general christmas" this year. would I go back for a dinner? just to have a dinner out? probably not. That's just me, I'd definitely go if I wanted some appetizers and a few drinks with the girls though. It looks like it's a limited monthly menu, so it may change based on season? three of us got the burger, all agree, burger is good, the paprika aioli that came with my parm truffle fries had a bit of a kick, not heat, just a kick. my husbands Chicken dinner though? i think stole the show. it had a good flavor profile and the peanut sauce didn't kick your face in with peanut flavor. it was definitely Thai inspired, but...had a downhome kind of charm to it. Service was good, never had an empty water glass. Little bit of showmanship with the chicken dinner. our server slipped in and out to refill our waters without...being intrusive. So for what I went for? A bit of a family diner with the sister and brother in law? not the right atmosphere. it really is an amazing place to just go for cocktails I think though.
