We've been coming here as a family for a while, so trust me when I say the food is ALWAYS amazing--but when they catered my son's high school graduation party?? They did NOT come to play. The food? Soul-healing, plate-licking... They handled everything flawlessly, and the setup matched the restaurant's elegant vibe . It felt upscale, warm, and just... special. Our guests are STILL texting about the food and asking, "Wait... where was that from again?" So yes, it's a hidden gem ... but honestly, they deserve all the shine! Thank you!

We stopped in for brunch after the Brown Sugar Babe Scent Soirée last Sunday and, once again, a good ol' time was had! We enjoyed mimosas and a few other drinks, oysters, and several dishes from the menu. Everything was good, but what really makes CuVee's special is the hospitality. The chef and his wife, who are also the owners, are so friendly, personable, and accommodating. We truly enjoyed their company just as much as we enjoyed spending time with each other. Great food, good drinks, lots of laughs, and wonderful hospitality! It may be a little distance for us, but we'll definitely make our way back again!

Throughout the planning process, Lionel was always quick in responding to questions and helpful in guiding me to a rental company for a beautiful dinner table set up of fine china, crystal glasses and sterling silverware. His menu options were perfect for my husband who can be a very picky eater. My husband and I are big foodies and have been to most of the top restaurants in Houston, Lionel's cooking was as good if not better than the best in town. Every course was absolutely delicious! The mussels were perfectly cooked, the caprese salad couldn't have been any better and everyone's filets were cooked spot on. He made a carrot purée that we have been talking about for days! On top of the amazing food, Lionel himself was as personable and friendly as he could be in addition to being extremely knowledgeable about the food he was serving. Each course came with an explanation of the ingredients and where they were from. I hope to have Lionel back in my home again soon and will be recommending him to everyone I know in the Houston area. I've only had one other private dining party and Lionel's food was wayyyy better than that. Thank you, Lionel!

Even though I told him my parents weren't the most adventurous eaters, his dishes were unique takes on classics.
