Food and service are very good, but the music is too loud.

What a great place to eat, great food, very cool ambiance.

Just moved to McKinney area and first time dining here. Sat in the main dining adjacent to the bar. 5:30 reservation and by 6:30 the place was hoppin’ - noise level a little high but manageable. Ordered steaks, of course…ribeyes, filet mignon and prime rib. Prime rib was a bit of a surprise as it was cut and seared on both sides - not what the husband was expecting. A little more done than he likes but the flavor was all there. Prepare yourself for an “aggressive” carrot 🤣, but so flavorful. I ordered the avocado crab salad - simply supreme! Dinner wouldn’t be complete without dessert…chocolate mousse pie. Incredibly light and not the bitter or overly sweet chocolate, but just right. Butter Oreo crust - doesn’t get any better. Thanks for a wonderful 2-1/2 hour meal that felt like 45 minutes! Wait staff is top notch too!

Our server, DJ did amazing attending to our table of 11! We were celebrating a bday at a granny brunch and everyone from the host to our server to the manager all made her feel very special! Food is incredible and full of flavor. Drinks are just how I like them, strong (thank you Bartender!) the decor is so beautiful, photo worthy spots everywhere you turn.

We went on Thanksgiving. The special menu was perfect and the food was delicious. Staff were friendly. When we ordered wine she had us taste it first. So glad as I selected a different one than my first choice. Highly recommend CRU Food and Wine Bar. Looking forward to going back and trying their wine flights.
