Cru Dining

Cru Dining is a private chef and catering service serving the greater Baltimore area, Maryland, and Washington, D. C. Founded by classically trained chefs Cory Waddell and Tom Viola, the brand brings restaurant-quality food and attentive hospitality to homes and offices, creating fine-dining experiences that feel welcoming rather than formal.

Each event is tailored to the host and guests, with custom menus, careful ingredient sourcing, artful presentation, and support for dietary needs. Services include curated tasting dinners, cocktail hours, wine tastings, tapas-style parties, corporate lunches and client dinners, special-event and holiday catering, private cooking classes, and weekly chef-prepared meals delivered to customers’ doors. Cru Dining can also assist with wine or cocktail pairings, service, event pacing, and cleanup, helping hosts enjoy their gatherings without managing every detail.

From intimate celebrations to business occasions, the chefs aim to make each meal memorable through thoughtful cooking, polished execution, and personal service
