estled in Cleveland’s east side neighborhood of Moreland Hills is one of the finest dining destinations, not only in Cleveland but the entire United States. Cru Uncorked is a fine French Dining restaurant that has been created with attention to absolutely every possible detail. From the marble used in the entrance fountain to the wine cellar, only the absolute finest ingredients and materials have been used. The slate roof, the soundproofing throughout the venue, the very carefully sourced ingredients, the thorough wine and champagne selections and the décor are authentic and original. The team at Cru has gone to extensive lengths to create an authentic French château that serves the finest French cuisine to their valued guests in the most comfortable atmosphere possible.
A Restaurant Designed to Enhance Their Guests’ Comfort The restaurant features a traditional French entry, three fireplaces, doors and curtains to enclose dining areas to eliminate outdoor noise, individually pin lighted tables, custom designed chairs and tables…the list of details is extensive and it is all designed for the comfort of their guests in mind. Cru Uncorked wants to encourage guests to settle in and feel free to stay a while. The dining room is divided into several separate sections, each hosting 5 to 7 tables each. Each of these dining areas is decorated individually and you could literally eat here 4 nights in a row and sit in a different dining room! They also feature a lavish Banquet Room in which they host corporate dinners and wedding receptions. Enjoy the outdoor patio and authentic Parisian garden too!

On our recent visit we experienced several dishes being prepared and were deeply impressed with the thought, care and detail that went into every plate. You must try the famous Seared Foie Gras Preparation as it was recently named “Best of Cleveland,” by Cleveland Magazine. The entrées at Cru are “Fully Plated” and dressed, meaning that when you order an entrée they’ll come complete with veggies and sides. No need to order a la carte. Cru sources produce from local farms and all menu items are made from scratch. None of their food is frozen. None of their food contains MSG and they only use the finest cooking oils to ensure the best flavor and that the meal will be the healthiest it can be.
Cru Uncorked Has A Comprehensive Wine and Champagne List Chris Oppewall, president of Cru Uncorked, is in charge of the wine selection as well as training the staff to learn and appreciate the nuances of all wine to ensure they can be the best resource for you possible. The wine focus at Cru Uncorked is certainly French, and their selection is extensive. However, they also feature the best wines from other parts of the world including California, Italian, Spanish, Australia and other parts of the Southern Hemisphere. Cru has created a wine selection from which there are no bad choices. Cru also hosts fabulous and educational Wine Dinners, tastings, instructional speakers and many other wine centered events throughout the year. As the team had planned, a visit to Cru Uncorked is a complete experience and true adventure in dining, not to mention a great way to immerse yourself in French culture.
