“horrible!”

Just left Cru. We went for a mother's day brunch with a party of 13. We were all in from out of town and Cru was recommended as one of the nicest in Ft. Meyers. We were seated in a nice back room so it started out promising. However, each of our drinks were brought out one at a time (we all ordered mimosas) and we had to wait about 20 minutes until all of the drinks made it to the table.

Of the 13 brunch entrees - 2 were correct. Most of the ones that were incorrect were missing sides, or had the totally incorrect sides. However, I ordered the "fritatta of the day" which I was told was spinach, goat cheese and tomatos. First, I received a tomato, pepper and onion omlet. The waiter apologized and said he would bring me my fritatta. He came back in a minute with the same omlet I had sent back, but he had opened it and put cheese on top. I told him again, that I had ordered the fritatta of the day, with the spinach, goat cheese and tomatoes. He apologized, the manager came out and apologized - my fritata was promised in "just a few minutes".

As everyone was about to order dessert, my "fritatta" came out - it was a bacon and mushroom omlet. I didn't send this one back, obviously there is a huge lack of communication between the wait staff and the kitchen.

I went to Publix for a turkey hoagie on my way back to my in-laws. As far as I am concerned Cru can learn a lot about service and writing down the correct orders from Publix.

I am from Philadelphia where we are spoiled with great restaurants and great service. So I sincerely hope this was just an off day at Cru. But if I am ever in the area again with a large party, we will save the $400.00 we just spent at Cru and get $4.75 hoagies at Publix instead.

“The best of Ft. Myers and beyond”

By far the best place in town and will match with great places in metropolitan areas. It has a city feel, very modern decor, nice outside bar/waiting area. The food is always great, consistant, expensive but worth it. Smaller portions, nice presentation. You will have room for desert, a must get is a pond cake soaked in condensed milk with fruit on top, served in a bowl and it takes 25min to prepare. Got to share it with your guest, it is amazing.

Exotic menu paired with great wine list in a hotspot gathering place for those who want to see and be seen. Limited outdoor dining for those who'd prefer to enjoy the weather rather than the crowds, all on the edge of the Bell Tower mall.

“Good, but expensive and over rated....”

Bests here are the sushi and martinis.
The entrees are ok, much better now than last year, but over priced for what you get. Service is usually quite good, and the staff are attentive and knowledgeable.
Make sure you are very specific when requesting "done-ness", as they tend towards over-cooking some of their meats, especially the bison and ostrich, which really have to be cooked carefully.
I think with the new changes (new menu and chef), this restaurant has taken a dramatic step forward, but it still has a way to go.
