Cru Wine Shop - Redwood City

Very nice wine, good food, nice atmosphere, not too loud, nice people too!

This is still a hidden gem but won't be for long. Donato has done it again with a great restaurant and concept. We've been long time fans of Donato since he opened Enoteca in Redwood City (just down the street from Cru). Not only can you dine here, you can get coffee to go (whole beans or brewed), olive oil, wine, and other goodies. Or drink the bottle you just bought at Cru. The atmosphere is friendly, hip, with great energy and light. I've even worked in here a few days this week and will continue to do so. Since it's right by the train station, it's easy to meet colleagues traveling by train. The charcuterie is a must as are the pastrami sliders. The croissants are freshly baked each day at Enoteca and are flaky and delicious. And if you are into soccer, you will find some friends (or foes) sitting at the counter watching the huge screen and cheering (or booing) in a friendly way. Check it out. We love what is happening in Redwood City...and Cru is a super positive addition.

This is a hidden gem one that stays true to the quality of food and wine they serve. It brings me back to my travels throughout Italy! The staff are friendly and attentive. A definite must for wine and food enthusiasts.

We have been coming here since it opened a year ago. Just love it. On Sundays they have live jazz from 4 to 7, making it a great place to come with friends and enjoy wine, music, conversation, and food if you are hungry.

Went today and was so impressed with how great the staff was to my two dogs! We sat outside and several staff members came by with water, treats, and lots of sweet attention. The food and wine are great, but I especially loved how inviting the atmosphere was for my doggies, too :
