I honestly think Gran Cru Wine Bar is one of Ballston's best kept secrets. It's nestled in the middle of an office/apartment complex so it is off of the main roads (which adds to the awesomeness!). Enjoy a glass (or a flight!) of wine on their outside patio, and order scrumptious tapas & appetizers. My favs include: the olives & mixed nuts, gourmet cheese platter, warm brie & honey, and the capresse. The house wine is $5/glass so it won't break the bank, either!
Pros: Wine flights, bar snacks, secluded
Cons: Entrees can be a bit pricey
