Cru Food and Wine Bar (Plano)

With more than a dozen flights, the gateway tasting experience helps transition tenderfoot wine drinkers from mass-market to better wines. Ambience raises the bar: The cozy surroundings bathe diners in a cosseting amber glow. With solidly good American bistro cuisine, it’s hard to go wrong. Opens daily at 2 p.m. Beer and wine.
