Grand Cru Wine Bar and Bistro

Escargot DELICIOUS! So flavorful with fresh herbs, philo dough and great texture! Warm brie, very creamy and light. The biggest lamb shanks we've ever seen! Steak was on point and the white chocolate bread pudding was also amazing. Staff was attentive, fast and super friendly.

Great friendly vibe in the outside area , quieter inside for private conversation. Menu was extensive as Carlos our waiter was attentive and efficient. Bruschetta was great . My friends ordered lamb rack which was huge , shrimp and andouille pasta , monkfish and I had lobster fritters with a salad beautifully presented. Great night we all thoroughly enjoyed the food etc but the very loud annoying drunk woman at a nearby table was a little annoying. Should have been handled quietly by the Restaurant rather then raining on 50 peoples dinners. We ordered a cone of silence for her ! We will be back though !

The drinks are amazing. The bar tender is kind and his recommendations were very helpful, he was kind and flexible and took time to help us. The fondue was smaller than expected for the price but we still left very happy.

For the cost, the food is OK. Some waiters and waitresses were very nice, one guy was OK. They do have a big wine list and are walking distance from a lot of apartment buildings.

We loved this restaurant for date night. The location is great, right in the middle of Ballston. Service was awesome. Everyone from the greeter, to the server, to the bussers were friendly and helpful without being over the top. The food was great and tasted great. The atmosphere was congenial and up beat without being overpowering. I highly recommend Grand Cru.

This is a good, pretty inexpensive European-style bistro, with a decent beer and wine selection and a good selection of light plates. The outdoor dining area is very pleasant when the weather is right, and is mostly shaded by the tall buildings surrounding the area and is also lined by small trees. The indoor seating used to be a bit problematic: you'd end up smelling like the food because the seating area was so small! They've moved to a larger space now, so I doubt that's a problem. The service is generally good and helpful, although I had to remind them to bring my draft beer the last time I went. I didn't try these myself, but the menu has a fair number of European dishes that aren't that common here: frog legs, snails, duck and so on. My dining companion tried these and liked them very much. The pictures shown are of deviled eggs, baked brie, potato gnocchi, duck strudel, escargot, and frog legs.

Went here for the first time since covid. Food was very good and the service was outstanding. Great wine selection. Recommend the lobster fritters appetizer.Food: 4/5

Amazing dinner with excellent wine options. Rack of Lamb, french onion soup, and steak were delicious. Can't beat the awesome $5 happy hour specials on drinks and small bites. Service was good; although, expected more info on the wine and recommendations from the server since this is a wine bar. I would also skip the dessert. Tried the Apple tart and Molten Chocolate. They looked great, but just ok in taste.

My family and I went there last night and we were satisfied. We had the bread brisket with butter, I had the beef wellington tart, and my husband had the salmon. The food there is DELICIOUS! We had a great time and they have a great selection of wine. We purchased the bottle of Bordeaux! Definitely coming back!

Wine flights were excellent choices. Very good decent quality choices. Highly recommended the lamb meatballs, very savory flavors and a mix of sweetness and freshness from the cilantro cream. Duck breast was cooked perfectly and well paired with the quinoa and sauce.
