    Everything about our dining experience was incredible! Our server was friendly and knowledgeable, joked with us and never let our glasses get empty. The Easter Brunch meal was STELLAR!! We had a party of seven and every person loved each course. One member of our party has extreme allergies and the server and chef paid such careful attention to ensure she never received anything that could be a threat to her health. Items ordered: Apps: Beet Salad, Avocado Toast, Burrata and Roasted Tomatoes, Smoked Salmon deviled egg toast. Entrees: Steak & Eggs( cooked perfectly), Crab Cake Benedict (out of this world) and lamb chops. Dessert: Key lime Cheesecake, Molten Lava Cake. Blood Peach Bellinis - Phenomenal!!! This was our first time here but certainly not our last! Thank you to the crew at CRU for making our Easter brunch a delightful and stress free experience.
