Cru Restaurant Wine Bar - Nisswa

Excellent food with a fun selection of small plates for sharing. A very diverse and well stocked wine cellar makes for fine pairings.

Although the prices were pretty high, it definitely matched the quality of food and wine! The lobster fondue and wine flights were a great start to our evening.

The service was fantastic, and the food and drinks were top-notch. The ambiance was cozy and inviting. Although there were a few large groups present during our visit, we were kindly offered a quieter corner table, which we really appreciated.

Be sure to make a reservation, as this place gets busy quickly. The food, presentation, decor, and staff were all outstanding. They have a walk-in wine cellar that offers nightly wine tastings, which is a nice touch. There’s an extensive selection of wines at various price points, and the servers are very knowledgeable. The food was incredible—you really can’t go wrong here. While the prices are on the higher side, it’s definitely worth it for a special occasion.

We attended a catered wedding at this venue, and the food was outstanding. The appetizers served before the meal were particularly impressive. The servers efficiently cleared the dishes, though there were a few delays between courses—likely to better accommodate the wedding party. The desserts were also exceptional and left a lasting impression.
