CRU Bar & Cellar

Lovely venue and environment. Good food and wine menu. Hadn't eaten here for sometime and the food is more interesting and adventurous. Staff were welcoming and friendly (although service was a little slow in checking on wine orders). Had a really enjoyable evening and recommend to others.

We were only there for a short time, but had fabulous service & great cocktails.

We had an amazing time while we celebrated our anniversary. The food was delicious. Our waiter was amazing. Checked on us regularly and made sure we had plenty of drinks. The atmosphere was buzzing. We will definitely be back and look forward to it. The dumplings are to die for

Delicious food - between 8 of us we shared most of the entrees and a sliced steak, all fabulous. The window table was breezy and bright and the service good. Great choice!

Meet and greet was warm and friendly
Service was prompt without being overbearing
Food was fantastic
Location was perfect as I’m valley based for work
Service timing also fantastic for a lunch break

Great food and excellent service

I ordered the spanned crab pasta and I’m afraid I had to go digging to find any crab in my meal at all
Obviously cutting costs

Staff were amazing, definitely recommend the pork dumplings. I’m still thinking about them today.

Interesting market fish, was flavoured with what seemed like a chicken broth and completely over ran the fish but was delicious all the same. Could of used a vegetable to go with it, or perhaps the waiter could of suggested a side as it was not filling.

Great spot, tasty & fresh food, exceptional wine list, and friendly, helpful service.

A lovely evening out delicious food great service - we will be back

Service slow with a good dose of attitude and not a single smile. I will say I have had good service here many times so it's about the waiter, not the venue. We had to wave down the young female waiter who was busy chatting to a colleague and rolled her eyes when she saw us. No one had been near our table in 40 mins despite our glasses being empty. When we asked for another wine she said we had to be off our table by 6pm and tried to push us out to wipe the table. It was 5.32 so when we pushed for another drink we were pretty surprised she gave us a heap of attitude and said she had to wipe the table before the next people came. Seriously!!!! The table was clean other than two wine glasses.

Nice table for 6 for a late lunch. Not many food choices but the food offering was very tasty. Service was excellent and we had a very knowledgeable waitress. Great place for a lunch with friends.

I struggle to find the words, disappointing comes to mind, under deliver is another, tasteless is another.. The list goes on... Exceptionally bad value for money, lackadaisical service and confusion regarding wine recommendation and ingredients in food for a friend of ours with allergies. Avoid where possible.

Yummy!! Great service.

Amazing food - especially that side dish with the raddish and bush honey. I liked it so much I am going back tomorrow and taking my family from the sunny coast. Look forward to the attentive service and great quality of food and drinks.

Great food, amazing Mojito's and great service. I will be back

Fantastic wine list, great food and service, nice location.

Really live coming here for the cocktails, ambience and service. Would love more comfortable seating though.

The Ambience was energising, Service was excellent and the Spanner Crab was delicious.

Servings were tiny!! Had to keep calling wait staff to order more food and drinks. We appeared to be an annoyance to the wait staff who looked like they had better places to be!

I’m sorry to say that our experience was ruined by really bad service. We had to waive our hands to get the waiters attention continuously. We ordered one bottle and after we finished that no one came to ask us if we’d like more drinks. We were told that we would have to leave in 20 minutes but then no one bought our bill out to us. We felt ignored the entire night. Will not be going back.

Food delicious, service great. Nice casual dining.

Nice ambience and share plates were tasty. Good environment to just catch up and shoot the breeze.

Although famous for their drink menu, don’t underestimate their food options as they are a stand out on their own. Plated beautifully, inventive and simply delicious. Always a buzz in the background with tables generally full so you may need to speak a bit louder than usual to hear the person beside you.

Fabulous cocktails, delicious food , nice ambiance and all topped off with exceptional service, our lazy Sunday Lunch was just perfect, will definitely return

Cru bar has been a consistently great restaurant and meeting place.
The vibes, food, ambience & service have always been excellent and it's always a pleasure knowing you can recommend and that it will be enjoyed by all.

I and my friends been there for few times and we always loved it.

We received Great Service and the Swordfish was Devine.
We had our Girls Friday Lunch for 3 and it was perfect.
Unfortunately I forgot the Gentleman’s name who looked after us, we received very friendly professional service.

A wonderful evening all round . Will book and be again soon .
Thankyou

Excellent service and food. Great staff! Good wine list.

Upon arrival we were seated at a quiet table as per our request with no fuss. The waiting staff were to put it simply brilliant and couldn't do enough for you. Food was well cooked and very tasty and the plating size was enough to satisfy but not over fill. Pricing I felt was on par for what you would expect to pay for the area we were in and for the quality of food and service.

Always a lovely time. Staff very accommodating. Food outstanding

Food and service were very good. Great wine selection. Slightly noisy but overall a great experience.

Staff amazing !!! Placed up in nice area when group grew loved it thank u

We enjoyed all the food ( octopus outstanding ) other than the crab meat spaghettini . We did not like the broth style liquid it came in .
Not having a wine list by the bottle made it difficult to order a bottle of wine .
We enjoyed the overall experience and will definitely be back .
Service was great , maybe a little over zealous .

CRU Bar & Cellar was good. Great food and wine. Booking was for two hours (12.00pm to 2.00pm) was told to move on around 1.15pm. I wasn't too keen on this happening and put a dampener on the day. Basically, if I book for 2 hours - I want to be there for 2 hours 'simple'. Despite this happening, we had a lovely waitress and I made sure she was taken care of $$. Would I go back again? Maybe!

Seats without backs not as easy but apart from that it was fun and great food

Have visited the Cru Bar many times and this has to ne the most disappointing.
The food and service was below par.
The only thing we enjoyed was the cocktails and wine

Cru bar lunch is a regular treat for my wife and me. The food is dependably great and the menu changes subtly to keep it exciting. We find the food refined and delicious. Cru bar takes its food seriously and staff are knowledgeable. I'm keen on craft beer and there is always something I like on the list which is usually a good sign for any restaurant.
