Review:
Cru Cafe is a delicious fine dining experience in Charleston, owned and operated for nearly two decades by restaurateur and executive chef John Zucker. The restaurant, which opened to the public in 2002, is an extension of Zucker's award-winning catering company, which is known for its exquisite gourmet takes on comforting Lowcountry cuisine. Lunch and dinner are served daily at Cru Cafe, featuring entrees prepared with locally-sourced, farm-fresh ingredients. Small plates and entrees focus on comfort fare such as fried green tomatoes, pork schnitzel, and potato gnocchi, with unique land and sea fare available, including maple leaf duck breasts, grilled basil shrimp, and mojo-marinated pork chops. Extensive wine and beer menus are served, with a focus on regional craft drafts and international wines.
