   The food, drinks, and atmosphere were excellent. 10/10. However, the service is not up to standard. The host isn’t very bright, my boyfriend called to get a reservation for 8, she kept asking the same questions 3 times (what the name was, how many people, what time, etc). Then she said it was booked until 9. I went online and there were many slots available from 7:30-9. So I booked it for 8:15… Next, our waitress wasn’t great. She was okay, but not very friendly and she kept rushing us. Of course, we took our time. But I don’t like to be rushed. We informed the restaurant and the waitress that it was our anniversary, but didn’t receive anything for it. (So why ask during the reservation?) overall, amazing food but please hire new staff.

   It was a fairly good experience. My biggest issue was that my Filet was not cooked to my liking. They even took it back and it was not much better.

   Breaks my heart to stay it, but this was the worst “fine dining” experience I ever had. Ravioli served cold and then replacement was still frozen. Cold dessert. Tiny portions. And to top it all off, we had a delicious $70 bottle of wine that we found the next day in HEB for $13 (the Franciscan ‘22 Cab). Never going back.

   We've been coming here for years, and decided to revisit an old favorite this weekend. They were severely understaffed and had to repeatedly find our server to order or to get anything to the table. Tables around us did not and several that arrived with us still didn't have their food as we were leaving. So glad it wasn't really busy (we were there on Saturday night) or it would have been much worse. The interior is in serious need of a refresh, as everything has worn and faded badly over the years. Sadly this was probably our last trip to Cru. Too many great options in the Domain area to choose a place that seems to be dying on the vine (no pun intended..).

   Seems like we should have gone earlier in the day. By 6pm they were running out of Thanksgiving prix fixe items and the staff seemed burnt out. We were sat at a dirty table. No wine flights available, only to be told when we tried to order them. Food was not hot, or even warm, when served which was actually most disappointing.

   This was Thanksgiving Dinner, which I had made a reservation for 4pm. I felt very rushed, immediately after finishing each course (Butternut squash bisque, Turkey entree and Apple pie) there was someone (always a different person and NOT the person who took my order) there to take that dish away and delivered the next course. There were plenty of open tables, at least 6 tables or more were open while I was there. Additionally, the bisque was just warm and so was the turkey entree. I expected both courses should have been served hot. It was not a great experience, maybe because it was just me being a single dinner.

    A very good meal at a very reasonable price in an attractive setting. Nice for a couple or a small group. Seated quickly, attentive but not intrusive waiter, pleasant outdoor view, free easy parking.
