Cru

Editorial Review

A wine-bar chain, yes, but a superbly situated one with sidewalk seating along well-traveled 2nd St. People-watch over flights and reminisce about your semester abroad in Paris. Clothes whores pop in for post-shopping pick-me-ups. Couples seek sparks from the candlelit interior. The eclectic menu is all over the map: Asia, France, and the Southwestern U.S. This being a wine bar, the staff is trained to abet you in harmonizing eats with vino.
