Dined on August 13, 2023. Best bowl of French Onion soup. With the first sip of broth I was in heaven. Think Anton Ego tasting the dish in Ratatouille. Fillet Mignon and everything else was perfect. Wonderful dining on the terrace with the fountain for ambiance.
My husband and I have not been to Grand Cru in years, but it used to be one of our favorite local spots. It’s now back on the list and we are already planning to come back to try a couple of other things.
The service was friendly and efficient. We did not feel rushed, but our dishes arrived so perfectly timed. We had pauses between courses that were the perfect “pause”. Our server, Tuya, was wonderful and welcoming.
We shared the shrimp and chick peas appetizer and the Brussels sprouts salad. Both were excellent, the sprouts were not over charred, I think they might have blanched them. The sauce on the shrimp dish was delicious. Hubby got the steak frites; though the steak was the correct temp (med-rare), it was chewy. The fries were fantastic! I got the scallops with risotto and brown butter. It was so delicious and decadent. Creamy risotto and perfectly cooked scallops.
I highly recommend Grand Cru.

This restaurant serves French cuisine that is delicious, of excellent quality, and generously proportioned at a reasonable price; a hidden gem in the Ballston area.
The service was impeccable and couldn't have been better. We're looking forward to trying more dishes on their menu.

Can’t imagine anyone would not enjoy the atmosphere, food, service, and wine/ beverages.
My wife and I had a fantastic meal and evening: She enjoyed a reasonably priced wine flight while I had a “ Perfect Manhattan”. We split a cheese board appetizer and the roasted chicken breast entree. We finished the evening with our own desserts and perfectly brewed coffee and port. The total bill was three times less than what we have spent for much lessers meals and experiences.

Perfect place for our Girls Night. I was looking for a chic, cute place with a cozy atmosphere, and this restaurant brought it all. We both ordered the Chilean Wine Flight which the glasses were generously filled, the Cheese Fondue and the French Onion Soup which was DIVINE. 5 out of 5 stars, will definitely be returning!
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 !
❗ 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.
