Food was sooooo amazing. My fiance said that he had the best burger he's ever had in Charleston. We had the pleasure of sitting at the kitchen window and as someone who previously worked in F&B, I was thoroughly impressed at the teamwork and communication amongst the staff. There's no heat lamp, so they ensure food gets out to the tables hot and fresh. This is definitely a hidden gem that we'll be visiting again in the future.

Chef's counter was a foodie's delight! Hands down best Mac n cheese ever in my life. Talia was a knowledgeable and cheerful waitress. Tom tirelessly worked his station in the kitchen while making pleasant conversation with us, telling us about all the food, and giving us small sample bites to try. Genuinely seemed like everyone in the kitchen was having a great time, although working hard. Highly recommend sitting at the counter for a great culinary experience!

Cute place. Fancy. Filled with sweet old people and the food was good. Probably wouldn't come back until I'm much older. Wouldn't recommend bringing your kids or a large family. It's a small, quiet, and relaxed setting.

Who said bigger is better? This small place is legendary in Charleston but that's what makes it great. While I generally look for places that have a nice bar selection, this didn't matter to me much as the food and desserts were really top notch and overall excellent. You can't go wrong with a visit to Cru.

There may be a queue, you may have to wait, but it will all be worth it. The food was fabulous. We had a view of the kitchen from the shared high table. Staff were fab, made some great suggestions to boot.
