This place is cute. Nice atmosphere. Perfect to sit and chat. On a date or with a friend. The wine menu works. There are enough choices to interest you, and the flight options are nice if you want to sample. Mission accomplished there. I can only comment on the foods I tried... The waitress was very friendly and helpful with selecting wines and dishes. The crab bisque is very good. The house salad is dressed perfectly. It has flavor from the dressing, but lightly, allowing the natural lettuce to show through. Perfect. The hummus is just a little spicy, which is perfect for me. With a touch of fresh cucumber, olives,and feta. Homerun. The stuffed mushrooms have a sweet chili sauce, again a little spice. And the cilantro is a nice touch. Neither dish was very large,but also not expensive. Appropriately sized. Creme Brule was nicely done for desert. Not ridiculously good, but very solid.

Okay so 1st visit was a travesty & I left the appropriate feedback. So here goes the end of the story. The GM Greg called me & invited us back "So that they could get it right". Well get it right they did. We were served the most superb dishes from the Appetizers to the desserts. Oh my & the server Ryan was absolutely the best ever. He was knowledgeable of the entire menu & could answer any questions we had in a snap. Not only has Greg, Ryan & prep staff turned our No to Yes they now will have repeat business from all 7 of us. I will personally be taking advantage of their Event Room because finding a venue, preparing food or hiring a caterer then having clean up is not my idea of a wonderful time when I can meet with Peter at Crù & sit back & enjoy the celebration. Thank you Greg & Ryan for changing our experience & our minds. See ya soon :-)

We went here because we like wine bistros and wanted to check it out. Im new to the area so I was a little skeptical. But as it turned out, the food was decent (not great, not horrible), wine was great, music was excellent, and we got engaged while having dinner there! So I give it 2 thumbs up just for the memories and the excellent music (a solo guitarist wearing a red shirt with sideburns - just like Elvis!).

In the middle of knowhere, but kinda close to the Marriott. Great selection of bistro appetizers, nice tasting selection. I opted for red cherry pepper calamari, hummus dip, and angus sliders. Then paired it with an unusual wine called drops of Jupiter(like in the song) its a lite petite syrah with a decent finish 2013. Tuesday is 1/2 price bottles so it was 28.00 Cheers

Not a good experience. The food was average, the service was inferior. I might return if I can sit at the bar? I was there for a short happy hour and waited almost 15 minutes for both drinks, we ordered a handful of appetizers and ended up returning one. There are tons of much better choices in Turkey Creek.

Had the pork tacos. They were great!! Nice flavor and I love the portion size. Two tacos with a handful of fries , which were also great. Would definitely recommend going there. Small beer menu but a nice quiet place to have a drink and a bite to eat.

The food us really good. I had the Fish Tacos which are erroneously in the sushi part of the menu. They were the best I have ever had. So good. Place is a little pricey but worth it if you have the budget to pay $60 for two people to eat out.

I love this place. Its a breath of fresh air when there is nothing but big chain restaurants and sports bars in west Knoxville with the same predictable menus. Service and the food is always great.

I had the crab bisque and fish tacos. They were excellent. The bartender was prompt and curtious. I will definitely be returning to try more of the cuisine.

Poor service, the waitress we had kept talking to her fellow employees. & the food was obviously cold due to her being concerned with talking.

Okay food, their portion sizes are on the small side for the amount of $ you pay, but my steak was pretty good, nothing Im raving about though

The chefs that own this place have a great menu, appetizers, tapas, entrees, and dessert. Just overall a great restaurant.

Im not a fan of this place. Since Nama Sushi Bar was taken over, their menu was high-jacked and sold off for scraps.

If your going to be a restaurant, dont shut down your kitchen an hour+ before closing. It defeats the purpose.

Seems to have gotten worse as of late. Food was always great here, but something seems to be missing now.
