Dined here for my the first time last night after reading great reviews. We got there and it was a unique place. It took awhile for a server to approach our table which was fine because they were busy but throughout the night she would avoid our table to the point that I would make eye contact and try to wave her over and she would just keep walking past the table. Coming from a bartender of several years the service was horrendous. It was my birthday dinner and I was so embarrassed for taking my friends here. I left very upset because the service was so poor and not only that but my birthday was never mentioned by the server after putting it in my reservation. I will say that the bucatini pasta was amazing. However tuna tartare was ok, chips were very stale and the truffle fries were room temp and super greasy, I can tell they had been sitting in the kitchen for awhile. I’m not sure if I would return.
Cru Cellars Palma CeiaResponded on January 17, 2023Kayley, Thank you for your feedback.

We arrived at Cru and we were very impressed with the ambience and were seated quickly. We sat and looked over the menu and that’s where our experience went down hill. We sat for almost 30 mins before someone came over to take our drink order. She was very kind apologized for the wait and we figured we would wait til the dinner was over before making a final call on the service. Then we ordered a cheese board from the same lady and she brought it out promptly. Then she left and we were served by another young man who we then waited very long between each plate that we got. Then we finally got our check and I had it ready to go where it sat for 20 mins. He was very busy serving the bar that was first come first serve and not the people who had reservations like myself or maybe it was just me; I wasn’t a young skinny blonde giggling at him at the bar. Take away is the food was great and the wine is delicious but the service was atrocious.

We are sorry to hear we did not exceed your expectations on this visit and would like to make this right by you. If you are open to it, can you please provide us with the check number from your receipt or the last 4 digits of the card used at check out so our management team can dive deeper into this situation? We apologize and will use this as a training opportunity to assure this does not happen again in the future. We hope to her from you soon.

I love Cru and frequently dine here. However, this night it seemed they were overwhelmed and possibly understaffed. We had to wait 15 minutes for our reservation and service was slow all night. The food was delicious as always. I will definitely return as this seemed a “one off” based on all my prior experiences. Fingers crossed.

Anniversary Our server was wonderful, friendly and very knowledgeable about the menu, wine & spirits. She also helped facilitate our kids sneaky by phone act to pay for our dinner. I was though slightly disappointed in my duck which was way too overcooked. Luckily the brussel sprouts were so delicious I didn’t worry about the duck. Will definitely go again!

While the food was good, we were put in a room with music blaring. We asked if they could turn it down, but were told it would affect the entire restaurant. Well…. it is a restaurant, not a nightclub. Had a great waitress until the end of our meal, when she disappeared. We had to go ask the hostess for our check; then spotted our waitress sitting down at the bar as we were leaving!

We ordered the duck confit and ceviche. Both were excellently prepared as were the sides of potatoes and brussel sprouts. Enjoyed a crisp cold French Chardonnay.

We sat outside so the noise level was non-existent. All 4 of us had wine flights - which were lovely. :) Peri Peri Cauliflower was perfection as usual. This was our first time there so late; we typically hit Cru around 4:30PM and it was busy at 6:30PM.

The food was really good! My one complaint would be we had a charcuterie board we were still nibbling on and our main courses were brought out and we had to scramble to find room for all of our plates. We would’ve preferRed to have more time to enjoy our charcuterie board so the table wasn’t so crowded. The music is pretty loud which sometimes made it hard to hear the other people at our own table. Overall good food and service.

We were sat in the “lounge” which definitely looked like a refurbished storage space based on the appearance of the floors. Weren’t greeted by a server for 15-20 minutes (even for water), despite all tables around us being waited on, until we asked who was taking care of our table. That being said, after we had a server, our food and drinks did come out quickly and tasted delicious. Would try again, but maybe at the Westshore location.

Great experience but I wish it could have been a tiny bit quieter for a first date.
Cru Cellars Palma CeiaResponded on May 18, 2022Matt, Thank you for your feedback. Our location does have a lively crowd, especially on the weekends so the energy is high! We love that you chose us as your first date spot & hope it didn't interfere too much with getting to know each other! We hope to see you both again soon, maybe for a brunch Sat-Sun 11-3PM!?
