    This beef was very tender, the roasted garlic was exquisite and I choose this every time even though everything is amazing.

    The beef was tender, the roasted garlic was delicious and I am looking forward to trying everything on the menu.

    We were in town for the week visiting and decided to try CuiZine based on a recommendation from friends--and it absolutely lived up to the hype. The food was phenomenal from start to finish, with every course thoughtfully prepared and beautifully presented. Our server, Delores, was outstanding giving great advice about the entrees, desserts and cocktails. The four of us began with a round of appetizers, ordering six to share so we could sample as much as possible. The hydroponic wedge salad and organic heritage salad were fresh and well-balanced, a great way to start. The filet egg rolls were a standout--crispy on the outside with a tender, warm filet center, accompanied by a sweet-spicy salsa that added just the right kick and contrast. The artichokes were grilled to perfection, and the baked onion soup was a rich, comforting highlight--hands down the best I've ever had, with layers of flavor and perfectly melted cheese on top. For our entrées, each dish was as impressive as the appetizers: * The Pistachio-Crusted Australian Lamb Chops were oven-roasted and served rare, just as requested. They were flavorful and incredibly tender, served with silky French whipped potatoes and finished with a rich port wine lamb reduction that brought everything together beautifully. * The Cast Iron 14 oz. Parmesan-Crusted Veal Chop was a showstopper--juicy and thick-cut with a golden parmesan crust. It sat atop a creamy and earthy porcini mushroom risotto, all tied together with a luscious veal demi-glace. A luxurious and hearty dish done right. * The Miso-Glazed Sea Bass was delicate and perfectly cooked, flaking apart effortlessly. The glaze was subtly sweet and savory, complementing the fish without overpowering it. It was served over fragrant basmati rice with ginger ponzu for a flavorful twist, alongside tender, grilled baby bok choy that added a fresh, vibrant crunch. The only downside of the night came from the cocktail menu. While strong, most drinks leaned too far into intensity without balance. The Old Fashioned made with High West Double Rye tasted watered-down and lacked character. The Empress gin cocktail was overly heavy on the gin, making it hard to enjoy. The Limoncello martini and French 75 were both bright and refreshing, and the Espresso martini had potential but wasn't quite smooth enough. Despite the uneven cocktails, the food and overall experience at CuiZine were exceptional. From thoughtfully curated small plates to expertly executed entrées, this restaurant is a must-visit. We'll absolutely return the next time we're in town. One suggestion to elevate the cocktail experience would be to collaborate with local distilleries such as 21st Amendment and Oceanside Distillery. Both are known for crafting high-quality spirits and have developed fantastic signature cocktails. Featuring locally made products could enhance the bar program while supporting other local businesses--and give guests a unique taste of the region's craft distilling scene.

    Ribeye with fois gras foam. To. Die. For.

    Have eaten here several times since my first review and have never been disappointed! The food is excellent - from offerings, to recipes, to presentation. Gorgeous food. They always have a great bartender that pours a correct and tasty old fashion. I have never had even a hint of bad service there, despite regularly having a different server at each visit. We LOVED the violinist on Friday night! Was a great addition to the atmosphere. Non-obtrusive but present. They have different specials all the time, so it's find that the menu is pretty stable (though I have seen changes since my original visit). One or both of us usually get the special and we've never been disappointed. Fois gras foam topped ribeye? Don't mind if I do!

    TL;DR: A+ escargot, crab soup, steaks, chocolate cake - all phenomenal. Go. Soon. I've been wanting to go for a long time and we finally had the opportunity. From the moment we walked in, I knew this was going to be an experience. We were led through the dimly lit bar where a lovely blonde perched next to a white piano singing slow and sultry songs. The music made for the perfect background. Seriously, it was a classy joint. Service was spot on though sometimes I felt like my indecision was going to send the server into hysterics. She was nice though once she warmed up to our awkwardness. The escargot was excellent. The liquid left over was so good we could have taken the escargot plate and drank directly from it. We settled on using bread to sop it up. The Man said it was the best escargot he's ever had. We both had the "Amazing Crab Soup". They bring the bowls, then they put a large amount of crab in the bowls and THEN they pour base in which was much like a bisque. I've been privy to this type of presentation at some fine restaurants. I get the same level of childlike glee from Caesar salad being prepared table side. There was so much crab! It was a tad too spicy for me but anything with two additional grains of pepper added is too spicy for me. My partner ate both servings. Our entrees came and they were so beautiful. They looked like pictures you see in food magazines. I had the filet mignon. You could ALMOST cut it with a fork. I'm a sauce girl (and saucy) so I usually have sour cream and horseradish to make my own horseradish sauce. It goes on meat and veggies and potatoes and even fish. I ordered Béarnaise sauce but didn't even need it. That's how good it was. The sauce was a little cold anyway. The man got the special 30-day (28?) dry aged New York Strip. The chef came out and sliced fresh truffles on top. It was delish. It takes a lot to impress The Man food-wise and I think this was a win. It was my partner's birthday and they brought out a complimentary slice of some sort of chocolate cake with hibiscus dust misted delicately across the plate. She was sly, too. There was no noisy singing, no big show...she practically slipped it onto the table without us even noticing. It was, of course, beyond delish. The Man TOOK LEFTOVERS HOME!!!! He never does that. It means it was a gastronomic masterpiece. The end.

    Sea Bass on risotto and asparagus
    Holly D.

    We made reservations here for my birthday last month and it was fantastic! We frequent the HappyHour but I wanted the full experience and I was not dissappointed. I already knew I wanted the Sea Bass and hubby ordered the steak. My fish was delicate and perfectly cooked. Risotto was creamy and smooth and asparagus just tender enough. I had never had foie gras so I splurged and also took out servers recommendation for the accompanying liquer. It was a no brainer for Me when bread pudding was offered as a dessert option. The feeling inside the restaurant is cozy yet opulent at the same time. I cannot say enough good things about this fabulous place.

    Martine K.

    We came in here to celebrate my hubby's birthday. The ambience is nice and service is friendly. He started with a smoked old fashioned. The presentation was great and he enjoyed it. I got a Cosmo which was just ok. I requested light on the cranberry and lime juice, but it had too much cranberry. The pretzel bread is divine. Hubby got the crab chowder and thoroughly enjoyed it. For mains, he got the ribeye and I got the filet. Both were excellent and maybe one of the better steaks ever. Nice sear, tender, and delicious. He was given a complimentary chocolate cake and it was yummy too. We highly recommend this restaurant.
