Cute spot. Flat wine. Good food. Overpriced. Good service. Not busy on a non game day. I used to frequent Cru years ago. Definitely prefer the old menu although the food is still good. The price doesn't fit the bill for small plates. read more

Excellent vibe. I felt grown and sexy at the age of 60. The tables were Dimly lit by candle light as the patrons softly chattered with friends. No loud music to contend with. The food was a pleasant departure from lemon peppered wings. Tasty, warm and sophisticated. Our waiter was pleasant and very informative as it came to our food and drinks choices. I had my first order of Burrata on a salad with butternut squash and a pomegranate vinaigrette as well as lamb lollipops and my very first French 75 cocktail. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Terrible service and would not recommend. I had confirmed 5:45p reservations for 4 prior to a 7:15 ballgame at Truist. We arrived at 5:30 for a drink and let them know we were there. The bar was full and waiters too busy to take an order. We stood outside until 5:45 and were told it would be at least a 45 min wait until we got seated. I asked about our reservation and the manager said that our 5:45 reservation time only meant that we would be moved to the front of the wait list. We again moved outside to stand (94 degrees), found ourselves an open table, asked for some ice water and ten minutes later were handed a pitcher with 4 plastic cups. We waited until 6:05 with no one acknowledging our presence and waived at the manager as we left at 6:10. Sellavee read more

After driving all day this was the perfect dinner spot, just a block away from our hotel. It was was intimate and sophisticated, with an extensive wine selection. Sunday was "full bottle Sunday"; bottles were discounted 40%. We enjoyed a bottle of "The Prisoner" red blend with some nicely seasoned Wagyu steaks. Perfect! read more

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. read more

I was happy to visit the area on a non-game day and find this place to be nice and quiet but, well staffed. Started off with a cheese plate consisting of Manchego, Jasper Hill Clothbound Cheddar from Vermont, and a local green hill double cream from Sweet Grass dairy in Georgia. These were paired with honeycomb, fig jam, pears, apples, and some rustic little slabs of bread lightly charred and perfumed with rosemary. The cheese board was delicious, albeit safe bets since the only cheese I had not previously tried was the local double cream. After the cheese flight we tackled a margherita pizza topped with wagyu meatballs. The toppings were tasty but the crust was thin, flimsy and a bit undercooked for my liking. If the dough was more evenly stretched, and cooked a smidge longer, it would have been a winner! Overall, I really enjoyed dining here and would return again! read more

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.

My food was hot n good and there was great service. read more

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! read more

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! read more

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. read more

We came here on Christmas Eve for this "3 course dinner for $55" special. It ended up being a lot more than that. It's not like we don't know what prix-fixe is, but the way it was written, positioned, and the size of font...it was NOT clear that we would be charged extra--as part of the 3 course dinner. It was not spelled correctly, not used in a way that makes sense in context, and it's hanging at the bottom under the entree description where the a la carte is listed for $47. The definition of prix-fixe IS that no matter what you pay a set price for the meal, so we were already selecting FROM a prix-fixe menu by definition. Why would a prix fixe menu have an additional cost, essentially rendering it NOT a prix fixe menu? I've been to other establishments where any additional costs (usually for alcohol, wine pairings, or special sides) on a prix-fixe were clearly indicated on the menu and there was no ambiguity. And usually prix fixe is what it is--a set price for the meal--that's like the whole point. And $7 doesn't sound like a lot to some, but when you total that and tax/tip it, it multiplies. We ate only half of what we ordered and asked for carryout boxes. The quality of food was just OK, meat wasn't done right the first time and then not really done right the 2nd time too, we didn't want to be difficult by sending it back again so we just ate it and planned to repurpose the rest at home. Also we ordered the braised short rib, and that was actually a chuck roast, not short rib. We felt scammed, sadly, and it just sucked the joy out of the whole point of doing a prix-fixe meal. The manager, a tall blonde-haired lady, spoke to us like we were children, almost ridiculing us and repeatedly saying loudly that "it's written right there in the menu" as if we were stupid and she pointed out TWICE that "well it looks like your plates are empty" when we mentioned the issues with cold fold/incorrect order. Uhm...the carryout boxes. We will not return. The meal also dragged out to 3hrs and service was generally on the slow side despite it not being that full when we arrived. My mom also pointed out that another large table that arrived after us got some of their food sooner than us. Read the other recent reviews to get the scoop. The common denominators are slow service, inconsistent/"okay" food at higher price point, and rude management. Why roll the dice on a mediocre experience when there are many other options available. read more

Came here for dinner while at the battery. This is my second time at this location and I enjoy it because the dining menu is more upscale. We had a puppy with us and they are pet friendly which is a bonus. I ordered the halibut which was delicious and was apart of a special menu. My friend ordered a margarita pizza which was also good. They have a large wine menu which we didn't try but would be great for wine lovers. read more

So disappointing! We arrived at 7:30 and didn't get our food until 9 pm. The waitress forgot to put my dinner order in so I told her not to worry about it (ate off my husband's plate). She also forgot to bring one of the appetizers. The food was a B- at best. We got the truffle pizza which was bland and mostly crust. A big disappointment because we love the burst of flavor from the black truffle. The ambiance was nice but there wasn't a way for our entire party to sit together so we had to split up at two tables. Kind of a bummer since we went for someone's birthday. read more

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. read more

Good food. Not worth the high costs they charge. I had the short ribs and it really tasted more like pot roast! Normally Short ribs that I've had in the past and make them at home,had more marbling but this one had no fat which would've been good if it wasn't so dry! The gravy on the short ribs was not that tasty , some kind of wine gravy mix. There were no vegetables, The pilaf was OK a little runny. My friend had the chicken that was raved about in previous reviews. At first I thought it was a Cornish hen because it was so small! The one thing I would rate high is the pressed coffee! I Probably will not return just for the pressed coffee even as good as it is! I constantly had to ask for the server to come over to give me things like bread or butter or condiments or water or ice. He and the other person from the restaurant stayed constantly in the corner watching their phones or talking to each other every. Only every now and then the server would come out and wait on us and the other couple that was in the corner. So I would not the rate the service is really great. Not at the top of my list as far as good food, good service or great ambience! read more

I walked into Cru randomly on a Friday night and sat at the bar. Cru has a nice ambiance with great service. This was my first time coming here and I ordered the flights (Sweet Child O'Wine). The flights come with 3 glasses of pre-selected red or white wines. I also ordered the Fritto Misto and the Lobster and Shrimp Potstickers which were good. They also have outdoor dining as well for when the weathers nice. This place is nice if you want to try different wines or eat something light. I'll be adding to my list of wine bars. read more

We visited Cru for Father's Day brunch. Upon entering you can't help but notice the aesthetic. It's a beautiful establishment. We came on Father's Day when they had a fixed menu which was ok. They could have had a little more variety but the food was good. The portions could have been a little bigger. The service however was not great. Our waiter seemed to not understand our drink or which was just a carafe of mimosa. He took forever to come back after bringing our food. It looked as though the kitchen cooked all entrees at the same time and all the desserts at the same time as we noticed everyone had eaten and were just sitting around waiting. Then all the desserts came out together. I watched how much of an inconvenience it was for the people that had tickets to the baseball game. Some just left and some were late. The operation in there needs some massive retooling. read more

This place is the only place I go to in the Battery. In general, the Battery has great offerings but I tend to not like the overly crowded spots and lack of good parking. CRU is an excellent option (on non-game days) for after work happy hours. The wine selection is top notch. The bites they offer for food is good (not overly delicious or a meal portion but good to nibble on). Always appreciate the friendly service as well. read more

Hats off to Greg Fallon....An outstanding server...knows his wine and made out evening a delight. Adrienn L

Im here on a Tuesday night - first time ever visiting a Cru (In the Battery) resturant. Now where do I start with this review? I'll start with the drinks; great for a good bottle or glass of wine, but the cocktail drinks....HORRIBLE. I first ordered a expresso martini it tasted like a chocolate yhooo...no cocoa, no masapone whip or brown sugar syrup...sad. the sunset margarita was okay. The service....so so...most of the wait staff awesome! Some, they dont need to be the face of the customer experience. Pls note, I was here for a group dinner that had a pre set menu which is fine, but we should be able to order individually off the menu if we wanted to (especially if we're paying for the extra ordered items) unless there's a reason why. Again the friendly staff gave us pita bread with no questions asked, the unfriendly staff said NO you can only order what's on the preset menu. The preset menu steak was okay...not medium, but close to well done and tough. The veggies and tuffle potatoes were pretty good. Overall the resturant ambiance was nice, food...ummm okay, cocktail drinks a NO and service a B (can use Improvement). Now the creme buele amazing - some of the best ive ever had. I probably wouldn't try a Cru resturant in the future; but thanks for dinner. read more

Trying to be semi normal in the current world is hard but decided to have a Monday evening out and my friend suggested Cru Food & Wine Bar. Located in the Battery Park at the Braves Stadium right off of 285. There is a parking deck conveniently located near the restaurant and parking is free for the first 3 hours in the red deck. The decor is normal wine bar decor but upscale. We decided to sit outside on the patio so we can enjoy the summer air and people watch. I had the Rose Flight which had 3 Rose wines. Figuiere 19 Cotes De Provence, France which was light, airy with a berry and fruit flavor. Chateau Gassier Esprit 19 Provence, France which was peachy and fruit flavor. Cooper Mountain Rose 18 Williamette, Oregon which was which was honey suckle, sweet pea, hibiscus, honey My favorite was the Chateau but they were all delicious. I also had the goat cheese beignet which had goat cheese and honey delicious. The only negative is they have a very small menu and very limited options for me as i am vegetarian. read more

This beautiful new restaurant is licateed in the Battery district which means its near the baseball park. I am from out of town & if this was near my teams ballpark I would be here before every gAme The food is outstanding. I had the halibut perfectly cook and paired with a lovely light Spanish Albanaroo wine. My Colleague had short ribs that were out of this world. The wine and food were surprisingly affordable considering the food was so delicious it could have been expensive. Their tiramisu was outstanding as if my grandmother made it. Wonderful selection of wine can even please the most seasoned wine enthusiast The decor is very beautiful, as a hip, warehouse, industrial feel combined modern elegant touches. It was worth the drive from Buckhead. We walked over next door to the bowling alley after dinner for a team building game. read more

By far one of the best experiences I've had at my first and only visit to a wine bar . The serving was amazing , she was attentive, knowledgeable of the wines and menus and personably .Talk about a way to cater to your guests . My wine choice was a Merlot , I'm not a huge wine connoisseur so this is definitely not my area of expertise. I can say that my selection of wine was recommended by my server according to my taste preference. My food order was the appetizers of lobster and shrimp potstickers . My friends ordered the grill cheese sandwiches and meatballs with toast . My dinner was an order of the prime rib over a bed of something similar to grits . Quite tasty. Overall everything was exceptional from the service , food , atmosphere, wine and more . I almost absolutely love the music selection too!!! Take your time and visit this wonderful establishment, it's well worth your while . read more

Came here with 2 friends on a Sunday for brunch. The was only 1 server for the entire restaurant. This led to very delayed service. Everything took 3x as long from ordering to getting refills, the check, etc. The food and drinks were good but they ran out of one of the ingredients for their blood orange bellini so that was a little disappointing. The venue is very cute though. It's small and intimate. read more
