This was my second time going with my OFFLINE app and it was again another great time! I like the relaxed ambiance and spacious interior. Their wine selections are unique and their food has great portions. I had the shrimp carbonara and house white wine, they also offer happy hour and a retail operation in the same location if you would like to buy a bottle to take home.

Cru Cellars is a true hidden gem in Tampa. Easy parking, great ambience, and an amazing wine list with staff who know exactly how to point you in the right direction. The food is next level—the salad is the best I’ve had anywhere, the Peri Peri Cauliflower is packed with flavor, and the loaded hummus is a must-order. On top of all that, their happy hour is solid and makes it even better. Between the cozy vibe, friendly service, and standout dishes, Cru is definitely one of my favorite spots.

The food exceeded my expectations and Chef Jay packed a lot of flavor in this Salmon & Succotash dish!! I was with a party of 13 gorgeous ladies and we couldn't stop talking about how amazing each dish was. I'm not one who likes brussel sprouts, but I definitely recommend it! The truffle fries were perfect as well. We were gifted both desserts and I must say the Strawberry Shortcake could've went down in one gulp that's how good it was. Again, I don't care too much for S'mores, but the Spiced S'mores gave the campfire vibe and true to taste!! Not one complaint was heard because everything was just that magnificent!!!

As a Cru Cellars wine club member, I can confidently say this spot is one of Tampa’s best-kept secrets for wine and food lovers alike. The club perks are fantastic—especially the $15 monthly dining credit, which can be applied to happy hour. It makes for a perfect midweek treat. On my last visit, we enjoyed the Cru Burger (which comes with a glass of Cabernet!), the burrata salad, and a fig & balsamic flatbread—every dish was flavorful, beautifully presented, and paired wonderfully with their wines. The s’mores dessert stole the show—rich, indulgent, and a must-order. Another great part of the experience is being able to pick up your monthly wines and browse their in-store selection, which always has something unique and worth trying. I love how the membership encourages me to explore new wines I might not have chosen on my own. Whether you’re a wine club member or just stopping by, Cru Cellars offers an elevated yet approachable experience with thoughtful food and an exceptional wine list.

I recently went to Cru Cellars for dinner, here is what I thought. Atmosphere: I love the atmosphere of Cru Cellars, you have to walk through the wines they’re selling to access the restaurant. The seating area is small, but quaint. They have a lovely outdoor seating area thats wonderful to enjoy in nice weather. Restrooms: They had two single bathrooms. The bathroom was nice and clean. Service: Our waitress was great. She was super friendly and circled back whenever we needed anything! The food came out quick! Food: The food was so good. We loved everything we ordered. We did family style and ordered a few appetizers, a flat bread, and charcuterie board to share. We tried their ‘Brussel Sprouts’ which were amazing, I could eat those days. We also tried their ‘Truffle Fries’ also so good, I loved the dipping sauces it came with. We tried their ‘Mushroom Flatbread’ which was delicious. We did their five option charcuterie board, which was the perfect sharing amount for four people. The bread it came with was freshly made, it was nice and fluffy. We loved their wine flight selections, all the wines were so good! You got three wines for $24! We will definitely be back! Instagram: @living.with.reg
