We ordered charcuterie board for 6 to be picked up at 4 pm. Went to pick up and was told oh we forgot. Went to sit at the bar to wait and was told you can’t sit there. When they finally got my order there was enough old grey meat tor 2 ppl and the cheese was dry and crumbled. It was in plastic boxes so we would have to arrange it. This was the most embarrassing thing I have ever encountered since we were from out of state and visiting friends. For 45.00 Would have thought there would have been thought there would have been enough for at least 8 ppl not one. I through it out and went to Harris Teeter to make it. Do not ever got to this place. It will embarrass you.

My wife and I came to Grand Cru for a date night, and had an excellent experience. Not only was the food amazing,but the staff was friendly and helpful and the atmosphere was very relaxing. They had great live music and a laid back crowd. With a great view from the patio as well, Grand Cru should be a stop for locals and visitors of Wilmington alike!

I ordered a Charcuterie board to go and received the meat and cheeses in plastic boxes. The meat was brown and spoiled. The cheeses were broken and dry. The condiments were in small 2oz cups. It was enough for 2 people not 6. We threw it out when we got home and went to Harris Teeter and made our own. It was a total embarrassment and the employees are rude and unprofessional. The order wasn’t ready on time. I drove 20 minutes out of the way as well. As a restaurant that promotes fine dining, this is a joke.

We want to support local restaurants, especially now. But our experience at Grand Cru last night will be our last for a while. Despite the sign out front stating the importance of wearing masks and staying 6 feet apart, not one staff member wore a mask and it was hard to find any social distancing measures. We were uncomfortable with how close our servers came to us and almost asked her to step back. All this while positive test rates in the state continue to increase.Weve been to other restaurants who have taken effort and steps to make our dining experience safe and enjoyable and will be dining at these restaurants going forward.

Probably the best spot in Wilmington to have a glass of wine and amazing dinner , the flavors that this place puts in its food is truly incredible and seasonal menus keep it interesting. This is a must vist and also a regular spot to add in your rotation.

10/10 highly recommend. I ordered the shrimp & scallop skewers and the short rib, it was out of this world. staff is always beyond friendly!!

Excellent Food and Service! The manager Russell stopped by to make sure everything was excellent . I will definitely go back

Great food but a very limited menu

Still wonderful food but I was concerned about their COVID19 precautions. I have editing this after the GM called to discuss the original review. (I had some errors). The staff is not wearing masks or other face coverings; the GM stated that they ask each patron if they want their server to wear a mask (but no other staff is masked). The restaurant clearly exceeded the posted maximum number of people; the bar was very very full - I thought I had to walk through all those people to get to the outside where our reservation was. I suggested they post a sign at the door that states you do NOT have to walk through the crowded bar to get to the outside area (there is a walkaround). The menus were not disposable but he stated they were cleaned after each use. For me, I want to see staff (not just my waitperson) wearing masks and restaurants keeping the number of people to the stated limit.

The starters and Chartreuse tray was top notch as was my tuna entree.

Loved the music and dessert! Their chocolate torte and creme brulee are superb!!!

Beautiful place, the live music is always great as well.

Nice aesthetics but the bartender we had was extremely rude and not welcoming. This was quite the “first impression” especially considering this was my first time coming here and I was excited to give it a try. But now I will take my money elsewhere, specifically somewhere that I won’t get a dirty look from the bartender for no reason.

Nice cozy wine bar with tapas menu, great outdoor seating area during warmer weather.

Fun night with friends. Very good food. Would recommend and will go back.

This is one of our go-to places if we have a special occasion. Weve had a variety of dishes here - the menu changes periodically and the food has always been consistently great. Wine choices are great, and for a place where you spend a little extra money, the wait staff is very friendly and not stuffy and knows what they are doing in terms of wine and food. The only reason I offer 4 stars instead of 5 are the portion sizes related to price. Its expensive and the quality supports the price but the portion sizes are smaller than I would prefer. The other drawback was that I was mobbed by mosquitos on the outside patio on the one occasion we sat there. Perhaps not necessarily the restaurants fault, but it certainly hampered the experience, so if you plan on sitting outside - take bug spray. That said the interior has a cool vibe and with Browns photos, it makes it very unique. Weve stayed a few times after dinner to catch some music. Always look forward to whats new on the menu. Chef is very creative and knows how to make cohesive dishes.

A culinary adventure! Fabulous menu and a wine selection worth returning for...again and again. And the sommelier is a wealth of knowledge ...do not miss this one!

Great section of small (and not so small) plates and wines.

Wonderful food, service and atmosphere!

Shrimp scampi might be the best I’ve ever had.

Excellent service and delicious food! I’m surprised that there’s so few reviews of this place since it’s really above and beyond anything else I’ve had in the area. If I’m ever back in town, I’ll be sure to return. Absolutely yummy!

Went here for a company Christmas party tonight. As soon as I walked in, I was greeted by a friendly staff and my drink order was taken almost instantaneously. We had an array of small plates and all of them were delicious! I don’t currently drink, but the wine menu looked fantastic! Ended up leaving with the seared tuna to go...the whole reason I’m writing this review; that tuna was AMAZING! Highly recommend this place if you’re ever in the area.

I would give this place 5 stars if the bartender didn’t rush us to leave at 10 ish pm and I kept having to ask for water. We had purchased 2 bottles of $125 bottles of wine and at 1015 my friends glass was taken. Then when we said something and he had an attitude. Other than that the food is awesome for small bites and the wine was great.

David C was excellant. We very much enjoyed talking to him and several of us took his advice.

Very good food,Very pricey,Very tiny portions.We all left still hungry despite the $30 bill.I will not be returning nor can I recommend unless you just want an expensive snack. But what we had was very good.

Excellent wine list, custom cocktails. I had an antipasti plate with a surprising excellent choice of cheese. Live music when I was there - nice touch, not overbearing. The service is the best! Both the servers and the bartenders! Well known place by locals.

Great food, wine selection, atmosphere, and friendly wait staff.

Phenomenal establishment. If you havent been here to try their amazing dishes, fine wine, OR entertainment you are truly missing out on a gem. Grand cru staff are very friendly, and you sometimes see the head manager Russell, and the Owner helping guests as well as accommodating them. Excellent place to visit in Wilmington.

Be careful

I love this place. They have a fantastic wine selection. The food is wonderful. Our favorite items on the menu are their flat breads and the Wagyu sliders. Oh my gosh....they are fantastic. Wagyu beef just cant be beat by any other. I crave those sliders now and have to have them every time we come. Weve tried all of their flat breads, and love them all. They are perfect for sharing. They also have one of the best charcuterie plates Ive ever had. The only time we ever left disappointed, was when we both ordered beef Wellington. I love a good beef Wellington. Its one of my all time favorite dishes, but theirs was absolutely terrible. Theres no way the beef was filet mignon. It was more like a chuck or round roast. It was also so dry, it got stuck in my husbands esophagus while trying to swallow a piece, and he almost choked to death. So needless to say, well never order that again. I dont even know if they still have it on the menu. Its an extremely difficult dish to cook, and few do it well. I still give them 5 stars, though, because that was just one incident, and every other time we have been there, its been too notch.

Beautiful place inside and out. Food is delicious and the live music is very nice.

Cheese and meat plates are good...otherwise, eh. Go next door to port land grille

My favorite spot for quality bar food. looking forward to returning with my friends. this place has a nice atmosphere.

A wonderful experience with attentive, knowledgeable staff and exceptional food. I went for my birthday and had so much fun!

Inviting atmosphere, exceptional drinks, exceptional food. Wait staff is engaged and attentive ownershipIt if you want a good date night with a relaxed but upscale atmosphere this is the place. Highly recommended try the sliders for a good app or a nice snack, waygu is perfect!

Great atmosphere, servers & service. Only went for drinks so I cant attest to the food, but the service and drinks were great. Everyone was extremely friendly

Great food, atmosphere, and staff

Food was great, service was great and beautiful outdoor space!

Nice place for dinner and they have decent wine selection.

Food was creative and delicious, will return.

This place is nice enough. Unfortunately, I had been to the one in Austin, Tx that had great ambiance with a giant mural of wine labels painted on one wall. This location lacks some of that warm feel.

Fabulous venue with great food and wonderful service.

Great small plates and wine bar.

Nice selection of wine. Service was a little slow.

Great wine selection, amazing food, cool atmosphere. Definitely recommend
