Extremely cold with space heaters. It was totally empty. We went during happy hour and were seated then were told happy hour prices were only good while sitting at bar which was also completely empty. I can’t imagine this place will stay open for business much longer. The hostess/waitress was wearing her long coat the entire time. Just not a good experience.

We were disappointed. My daughter is gluten free and not a red meat or seafood eater. Our food was fine. One of my daughters had the grilled cheese lobster and raved about it, but nothing else was a stand out that we ordered. Likely not returning.

We have been here a couple of times, so not sure why it wasn’t at the level we expected. We did get a call at 8:30 about our 9pm reservation as they said the kitchen was closing at 8:45pm, even though the website said 10pm. We were staying close so I ran down within the 5 minutes the manager said I had in order to place a dinner order. Made it just in time so we got to order dinner, however, I think we all know how ordering dinner at the kitchen closing time goes … let’s just say the food was not at the level expected. Service was great, a big thanks to Zach for making it a better experience than it was going to be. He did an awesome job!! Might give them another shot at a different time, but there are a lot of other nice restaurants as well.

Service was ok. Our server was slow and they were not busy. The wine is very good and the food is pretty good not great. It is a bit expensive for what you get. We all liked the wine flights. Great atmosphere!

Meal was decent. Waiter didn’t have much knowledge of menu or wine list. We asked questions but got little answers.

A beautiful evening outside at CRU! The jazz music was lovely and created a great atmosphere. Food was good and service was great. However nothing was quick which was fine for us but just don’t expect to hurry! Will certainly go back this summer when music is scheduled again. (Would suggest they stock the condiments for bar with cherries and limes or make a quick trip to Whole Foods to pick up what they need)
