Buy a bottle to take home from the wine shop or sit for a spell with French dishes, tapas and fondue.

Based on three visits, my conclusion is that this is a very good neighborhood place -- a place to go enjoy nice weather, good wine, and small plates while people-watching. The location is pleasant, and the service is attentive and professional. Recommendations: wild mushroom risotto, a slightly different take on mac and cheese (warning: contains bacon), and smoked salmon crostini.
It's a quiet wonderful place for friends to enjoy a great variety of cuisines.
A group of 9 women friends and I ate dinner there back in January and to a person, everyone was very happy with the food and the service. We all agreed that we'd go back again! So that's 10 x a 3-star rating!
I've been here three times with mixed results. It is a great place for a glass or two of wine and some snacks or light fare with "the girls". Or nice for a quiet after-movie drink with your beau. The wine selection is terrific and fun. But, this is not a great place for sinner where the food is just so so and the kitchen seems inexperienced. The last time we ordered Ceasar salad it arrived at the table covered in an oil and balsamic vinegar dressing. When we inquired about this truly awful salad we were told they ran out of Ceasar dressing and so the kitchen just made a substitution! They did not even get why we might be unhappy. For now I plan to steer clear of the dinner menu and enjoy the wine selection and crustini.
Sounds like the owner wrote the last two reviews
My experience with Grand Cru has always been extremely pleasant: service is great, food is excellent, and atmosphere is friendly. If you enjoy a pro-european place where the one can spend hours enjoying good wine, good food, and great conversation, - then Grand Cru is meant to be your place! The owners (a family couple) always do their best to provide for an enjoyable experience... Saying all this, I faithfully join the positive reviews and found the last one (from Feb. 20) be somewhat bias (not to say more...) Come over and try it - and you will never get dissapointed!
