    Hello! Food was great! Service was good! The only thing that was a problem for us was the TV over the bar. One couldn't help but look at it. Awful. We were unfortunately seated in the table area around the bar and the TV was unavoidable.

    Everything we had was excellent. The risottos and pastas were delicious. Burrata starter was also delicious. The house made pear tart for dessert was amazing. Service was excellent. The only issue is the noise level inside on busy nights - it's quite deafening. The later it gets the less noise there is as people leave.

    My best friend and I made a reservation at Wine So Cru, and from the moment we arrived, we felt taken care of. The staff opened the door for us and warmly welcomed us before seating us near the fireplace, which added to the cozy ambiance. The atmosphere here is incredible—chic yet inviting. Throughout our visit, the staff checked in on us just the right amount, attentive without being intrusive. We each enjoyed wine flights; I went with the champagne flight, while my best friend opted for the Chardonnay. Both were fantastic choices! We also tried the olives, which paired nicely with our drinks. There was a pop-up on-site that looked interesting, but as I'm vegan, we didn’t try it this time. Overall, Wine So Cru left a great impression, and I’ll definitely be back soon!
