Rude hostess received us with bad attitude. She didn't welcome us nor say hello. Instead asked if we wanted to sit at the bar. I replied that I needed a table for two. She made unpleasant faces and walked us to our table. Waitress welcomed us kindly and suggested alcoholic beverages. I indicated that my girl and I do not drink alcohol. He made a face like if he was bothered and walked away. When he came to take our order I asked for vegetarian options. He just pointed at side dishes on menu, made weird unpleasant face again and walked away. Then he came back and we ordered beef appetizer, salad, sea bass and pork. At this point waitress said that all my choices had meat. I said that I knew but had limited suggestions. He placed our orders but every time he came to refill our waters he appeared to be mad and splashed water all over the place. I asked for my bill. He came back with desert menu. Placed on table and left . We were ready to leave. Staff is ruining good quality food at this place . read more

We were a bit worried about eating here after looking at some of the reviews. It is an upscale restaurant, so expect to pay upscale prices. However, we had an amazing experience from the time we entered until we left. All the staff we came in contact were friendly and helpful. We had a party of 5 and each of us really enjoyed our dinner. The bread, salads, entrees and dinner sides were delicious. I would highly recommend for others to eat dinner here. read more

Awesome food - great atmosphere- fabulous service. Randy is the BEST server. Will definitely come back.

This place is delicious! Great ambiance, delicious food and amazing service. Came for the happy hour and ended up staying in the bar section for dinner. Richard at the bar is amazing- great suggestions and even better service. Anyone staying here or passing by needs to visit Cuvee! read more

The only reason why I'm giving this place 4 stars instead of 5 is because the service wasn't all that great, but everything else was suburb. We came here for a friend's birthday dinner last weekend; we were impressed with the atmosphere and the ambience right away. This place is located in a prime, upscale shopping center with plenty of parking, so that wasn't a problem at all. We were immediately greeted by the host staff, and sat at our table only a minute or two after our scheduled reservation. The restaurant itself is beautiful, and they have a huge selection of wines, which are all stacked up against the wall, surrounding the bar. The bar is separated from the rest of the restaurant since they had live music going, it looked like a party for sure! They had a great menu selection which had great quality food. The food definitely correlated with how nice the restaurant was. I ordered the 8oz beef fillet with brussel sprouts and garlic mashed potatoes, along with the smoked tomato soup for an appetizer. Everything I ordered was absolutely amazing! Zero complaints about the food. The service, on the other hand, was not tot great. From the time we sat down, it took our server at least ten minutes to greet us, and we didn't even have any menus of any sort. He greeted us, left for another 10 minutes, came back with drink menus, and then left again. I had a couple questions about their signature cocktails, but he kept disappearing on us! I eventually had to settle for a craft beer since it took him forever to come around and take our drink orders. It then took FOREVER to get our drinks, and it wasn't even the bar tender's fault, because I saw our drinks sitting up at the bar for 15 minutes!! After we got our drinks, we FINALLY got our food menus, which then took another 20 minutes to order...I'm not even joking, the wait time for everything was so, SO slow!!!! I could understand if the place was slammed with guests, but it wasn't too terribly busy, and they did not appear to be understaffed either, so I'm not sure why it took nearly 30 minutes to order our food from the time we sat down. Fortunately, our food didn't take too long from the time we ordered, so we were very happy about that. Again, to reiterate, the food was SO good, which is the majority of the reason why I'm giving this place a good review. At the end, I wanted to order dessert because I hear that they good dessert here, but our server didn't give us a dessert menu or even bother asking! I didn't even get a chance to ask because he never came by after that. So to summarize, the food, location, and the place itself was top-notch. The service was sub-par, to say the least, so if you're in a hurry or pressed for time, I suggest you not come to this place unless you have at least 2 to 3 hours to burn for dinner. read more

The food was fine but not on par with what we had at Edwards and George's while having a higher price tag. My old fashioned was essentially sugar water and my wife's rose tasted cheep. The service and atmosphere really lacked. Our server was overeager and a bit condescending. He also was not wearing his mask properly. The whole feel of the place and people made it feel manufactured and fake. It's like we walked into a bed bath and beyond. With the many options in the area, I'd definitely pick something else. read more

Dining at its finest! Excellent food excellent service! Kung Pao Oysters, escargot served with crusty bread and garlic butter for appetizers. could it get any better? Yes indeed! Sea bass over wilted spinach, with fresh tomato sauce, literally melted in my mouth! Then dessert... get the sampler platter! A taste of all their desserts, key lime, banana cream pie, chocolate crepe, ice cream covered in chocolate, nuts, cinnamon covered in honey! OMG heaven on a plate! Have to give a shout out to the best waiter ever Jeff! Excellent service and very entertaining! Most pleasant evening! read more

Been to this restaurant before and usually have a good dining experience. But when you pay over 200 dollars for a meal you do expect a little respect and service. The issue was a service girl who delivered the food. My wife and I ordered 2c8boz filet steaks. When they arrive the service girl ( seemed young) asked us to cut into our steaks to make sure they were cooked correctly. Well they were not and they were rare in the middle. I politely said no and if you could just cook it slightly more that would most likely correct the issue. She quickly took them back. About 10 minutes later she returned with the steaks and j slid in front of us. Said nothing and walked away. That's the type of attitude that ruins a night out. For Cuvee it comes down to training. Mentioned the redness to our main server, she was surprised and sorry that should of not happened. And that was it, no manger stopped by, nothing...that being said I will think quite hard on coming back, but if you want to be an upscale restaurant hire respectful people. You will never make it being rude to your patrons. Sad read more

While the service is good...the prices are through the roof for what you get. We paid $95 for two filets and two 1/4 cup sized servings of vegetables. Crazy. Any steakhouse we have ever visited had sides priced for the table, to share. We are not shy when it comes to paying for a good meal. Not interested in wasting money. Will not return. read more

I had the Pear Martini which was terrific! Could have if more of those for sure. I hear great things about the Happy Hour/Bar menu but we had dinner. Started with the Fried Green Tomato, Brie and crawfish appetizer. It was probably the best thing I ate at dinner and it left me wanting to order 2 more. The crawfish was perfectly cooked so as to not be too tough and the Brie was an interesting addition to the typical fried green tomato app. I ordered the Sea Bass which was nicely prepared and tasty. Not the most amazing Sea Bass dish I've ever had but it was good. The Brussels sprouts were a little overly roasted for my tastes but were ok. The only reason I didn't give this place 5 stars was the dessert. I'm a dessert person and I want it to be so good that I don't even care how many calories are in each bite. We had the banana cream dessert along with the chocolate flourless sin cake. Both were fine, but nothing made me want to order dessert there again. I'll definitely be back to try the HH menu and have an extra martini in lieu of dessert! read more

Fabulous food! Our group of 5 got there at 6:30 and were excited to enjoy the last 30 minutes of happy hour specials. Chris, our waiter in the bar, was most helpful in recommending food and drinks. He was also very engaging and quite entertaining. When the food is great and the service is even better it is such an enjoyable dining experience. Cuvée 30a is on the top of our list for regular dining experiences when in Rosemary Beach now! read more

Worse service ever!!! We actually got up and left because the server was a jerk. Last year we had a similar experience but decided to give it another shot. Never Again!! I'm assuming why the place was so empty has to do with their management and service. I'll stick to Cafe 30A and Fish out of water. Don't waste your money or time at this place. read more

So we came here, hoping for some amazing experience. However, we were disappointed with the service. We were kept waiting from the time we sat. At one time, our party of four had to wave to get attention. Bread came after a long time and then again we waited and then we waited. Plus, the bread came after the appetizers. The waitress was okay, she refilled our drinks as they were emptied, and followed instructions quite well. However, she, at times talked very quickly. Dinner when it came was nice. My Chilean Bass was well prepared. Others felt that the quantity was significantly less. Two in our party were vegetarians, they felt somewhat excluded and were forced to choose one entrée after being told that they could have a variety of options. The last entrée was substandard, a Lamb Bolognese. Yes, it had more quantity, but not quality. It wasn't all too flavorful. read more

Always loved the original Cuvée Bistro in Destin, but this was our first visit to Cuvée 30A. We were definitely not disappointed! They have a terrific Happy Hour, with reduced priced cocktails, wine, beer, and appetizers. I had the BLT Flatbread Pizza, which was utterly delicious! The sublimely thin and crispy crust was baked to perfection, and the chunks of bacon, chopped tomatoes, spinach, sciracha cream sauce, and yummy cheese was fantastic! And the price was so affordable. Our server was extremely attentive and informative. We love the decor. Can't wait to return! read more

Cuvee 30A - Happy Hour BLT Flatbread Pizza. Fabulous!!! - New American Near Me - Inlet Beach, Florida

We did the Chef's table which provided a variety of delicious foods. Over the 8 course meal I think that only the sea bass was not desired but the others great flavors made up for it. The staff was beyond great and were very knowledgeable. So if you do t mind paying a bit for a 3 or so hour evening I would give it a shot. read more

Great location, bar tenders and drinks. That's about it. It's tough to complete with the Rosemary onsite restaurants, but Curvee under achieved. Food nothing special and bland. Problem: 2 people, drinks, apps, entree, desserts $200 not worth it. read more

Taking Thanksgiving Dinner at a restaurant is rife with danger, mostly coming from unmet expectations formed by memory of happy and satisfying family gatherings over many decades. They do mount up. I knew not to burden this reservation with such things, nonetheless, I was sorely disappointed in yesterdays dinner, knowing that the restauranteur is capable of so much more. Cuvee30a advertises itself as a 22 year tradition but it was presented as a first time effort. Let me say first , the " food we ate" was wonderful, but when you hold yourself out as a five star alternative to dinner at home you better have your stuff wired together and on Thanksgiving, James Creehan's crew fell short - very short. The buffet line was set wrong - no sign announcing where the line starts; gravy by the soup at the end of the line rather than next to the turkey and stuffing where it belongs. Throughout our three hour stay ( it was only that long because we were always waiting for food) we never got the full plate you expect. It was completely asynchronous dining experience! The crowd ordinarily very preppy, correct, and nouveau riche, became surly and rude, manner left outside as frustrations rose over the paucity of food. Desert came to our table unbidden on a communal plate ( we requested small plates for sharing bu they never came), and after savoring a split of $85 desert wine no coffee was offered. When some coming back from the buffet spilt their dish on the floor, a waiter behind the room separator was heard to tell a diner, "Go around", in a rude manner that got heads turning up from the unfilled plates. IN closing , it is I am told a great restaurant, but yesterday they failed. read more

This place has a great happy hour menu and live music. I loved the French onion soup.

We heard what a great restaurant it was, so wanted to give it a try. They advertised a happy hour with a bar menu so we wanted to give it a try. When we arrived we walked into the bar area. We said we were here for happy hour. They said we could sit at bar or outside next to the curb. Although there was only 4 people on the rather large patio, they only serve happy hour on tables next to curb. Kind of like being near bathroom. They Made us feel like 2nd class citizens. Very uppity. We ordered three appetizers off menu. Fried green tomatoes with crawfish, hamburger, and pork. They were all very good. Even though it was good, I don't like to be made feel cheap because we wanted happy hour. They have happy hour for a reason. To bring people in. When we left there was not a sole outside. Probably would not recommend. We have a place on 30a and always bring friends, but it probably won't be here. read more

We LOVED Cuvee 30A! I had been to Cuvee back when it was in Destin and we really loved it so of course we had to make the trek down to the new location to check it out again. Totally worth the drive. I had the Chilean Sea Bass and it was SO good. Our waiter, Stuart, was so friendly and attentive and accommodating and the atmosphere is just magical. I think we loved every bit of the experience. My friend had the Grouper Vince and really loved it! I didn't try it but it looked amazing. We also split a Mitzi milkshake and it was just absolutely divine. I don't love driving from Destin to the 30A area at night because of deer on the highway but I would chance it for this. It really is a top-notch experience all the way around. LOVED IT! read more

One of the worst experiences I've had at a restaurant in a long time. I credit this in large part to the poor management. Our service was unbelievably slow. An appetizer was forgotten. We told both the server that delivered our food and our waitress. It didn't come to our table until after our entrees were finished. Our meal took almost 3 hours while we saw other tables turn over much faster. The manager who noticeably stood around doing little to nothing while his staff was overwhelmed gave an underwhelming apology and shockingly the appetizer still appeared on our bill. For a restaurant whose prices would indicate excellent service, it was shockingly sub par. read more

Stopped in on Tuesday for Happy Hour and apps! Large cozy, bar area with hightops for 2 against the wall. Opted for the nice 2 tops. A cheery server came over promptly and explained all the deals for the evening. Sold me on a house Chardonnay and the green fried tomatoes and brie app. A very nice lady in a lovely straw hat came over to welcome us too. Appetizer was served and ohhh la... la!! Wow! The warm, green fried tomatoes and brie and the tangy orange glaze drizzled on top and side of plate were a perfect blend. Beautiful presentation too. Does this come as a full meal? Indeed EXCELLENT! I was very impressed with the attentive service received during this visit. From the cheery server, lovely lady with hat and the gentleman who immediately came over when my napkin dropped from my lap to replace it. Excellent service. Thank you and see you soon. read more

We stopped in for brunch and enjoyed our experience. Our waitress was adorable, the service was great, it was a beautiful afternoon and the guitarist in the plaza was a bonus! The green tomatoes with Brie and sautéed crawfish tails were delicious . Can't wait to go back! read more

Cuvee 30A - New American Near Me - Inlet Beach, Florida

One of the most flavorful restaurants we've enjoyed this week in Rosemary. We loved the grouper and sea bass. The bisque was also out of site. Highly recommend for those who look for more in their pan handle meals than pretty pictures. It is all about the flavor and we loved it!! Take the time to reserve your spot at this fabulous restaurant! It is a gem to the area. Also recommend the king crab and fried tomatoes. No detail goes unnoticed. read more

Happy hour is the best!! We both had the Caesar salad which was fresh, the eggplant croutons were nice and warm. Salad had enough dressing, romaine lettuce was crispy. I also ordered the gulf shrimp but I thought it was overpriced with only having 4 shrimp! The flat bread was great and delicious. I didn't take a pic of it because i ate it so fast! read more

Food was good, not great. Waited 1 1/2 hours from seated to arrival of food. Overpriced for quality of food. $7 for a cup of coffee!! Dessert was excellent though. read more

We ate here last night. When I asked for the waiter we had had 6 months ago - at which time we had a dining disaster which definitely was NOT his fault- the receptionist recalled the event and said it was Robert. We sat at one of his tables and when he saw us he even remembered the chair in which I had sat. Robert served us a faultless and exceptional meal while at the same time showing great humor over the past event. The food was outstanding; service faultless; ambiance lovely. Overall one of the very best restaurants I've had the pleasure to dine at read more

I've never had a restaurant serve a steak by itself on a big white plate. This is highly disappointing & sadly, not worth a return visit. read more

Cuvee 30A - New American Near Me - Inlet Beach, Florida

Great spot. Leah from Russia was amazing! She normally does the chef table events but served us outside.

The first few times I visited this restaurant the food was outstanding, but the service was subpar at best. I figured this was the benign result of opening a new restaurant, etc., so, after hyping it up to my friends and family, I made a reservation for four people. This time, however, proved to be one of the worst experiences I've ever had at a restaurant that prides itself on offering a fine dining experience. We showed up at precisely our reservation time, but the hostess explained to us that we would have to wait a few minutes while they were setting our table. That's perfectly reasonable, and I certainly don't mind waiting a few minutes even when I've made a reservation. But, after 30 minutes and purposefully finishing a cocktail at the bar in record slow time, I started losing patience. The hostess finally found us and showed us to our table, which, as my wife had noted when we first walked in, was never occupied. At that point, I was just glad to get a table and knew I would probably forget the long wait by the end of what was sure to be a great meal. That didn't happen. Either your standard water server or our waiter - we couldn't figure out what his role was - poured our waters and placed a wine list on our table. Another 30 minutes passed and we still had not been served or offered an appetizer, drink, or even a menu. For the first time in my life, I walked out of a restaurant. I don't know if I'll be back again, which is unfortunate because, as a Rosemary Beach homeowner I was pretty excited to have another fine dining option. read more

We have eaten here three times in the last two years now on our trips to Florida from Maryland. Every time the food has been excellent. On this latest trip I tried the smoked tomato soup with shrimp, one of the best things I have ever tasted! If you go at happy hour there are amazing specials in the bar, but I will go there anytime!!! Servers have all been excellent, the cocktails are always very interesting and tasty! Easily in the top three of my favorite places to eat in this area read more

The steaks, fish, salad were as Great as the service from Jamie!!!! Jamie the Sommelier, best waiter was the star of the night except for my beautiful wife!!!! Thanks Jamie read more

Great food and atmosphere. The 1 man band is terrible techno after 5 minutes. Love the place please change it up!

I love this place. One of my favorite restaurants in the world. Please bring back the tomato soup. It was one of the reasons I came there.

Amazing food and amazing service. That's all you need to know. Last night they were a little understaffed but the wait was well worth it. My top three favorite restaurants in the area. read more

Great food, wait staff, and atmosphere. We love the escargot, oyster soup (although it's not always on the menu), and the fried green tomatoes with brie. You can't go wrong with any of the seafood dishes. My sweet tooth wishes there were more dessert options, but that's my only complaint. This is not a restaurant for kids, so save it for an occasion when you can leave them at home, or with a babysitter, if you're visiting from out of town. read more

The service was poor and the food was worse. The owner was nice and tried to accommodate my poor experience.

We will NOT be back! We used to love Cuvee but its not the same! Drove all the way out here from Destin to enjoy a nice meal only to have the worst experience. Our service was horrible we ordered drinks and food and didn't see our server for 45 minutes until only two of our parties food came out the other food didn't show up until 30 minutes later. The server finally came by and apologized said there was a problem with the new system but everyone else around with different servers received their meals. The manager was unsympathetic and Chef Tim was even there and didn't care about concerns. We will never return. read more

This was our first visit to Cuvee 30A so we weren't sure what to expect. Upon arrival we were brought through a crowded dining room to a back room that looked like a closet, it was a box with about 6 tables with floor to ceiling curtains which made it very dark. We asked if we could open the curtains and were told Chef does not allow the curtains opened, they were literally clipped shut. One of the doors was a fire exit so I can't believe this would be to code. On to the food, we ordered fried green tomatoes to start, they were good but cold. We all ordered a salad and an appetizer portion entrée. All the food came at the same time. The manager quickly came to the table to apologize but didn't offer much solution, just asked what could he do, we said just take something off the bill. Instead he brought us a desert tray which none of us wanted. The salads were fine but the entrees were all cold and tasteless by the time we ate them. We had a beet salad, Cesar salad and BLT salad. These were good but my BLT salad was just tomatoes and cheese, which I like but where was the "L". Entrees we had the 2-scallops and something else I can't remember. All the entrees were just OK, I wouldn't order them again. After dinner we thought we would check out the bar to see if the experience there would be any better. My friend ordered Prosecco, she mispronounced it but you obviously knew what she was trying to say. The bartender said I never heard of that, I pronounced it correctly and he said OH. RUDE! 2 of us ordered expresso martini, they were watered down and tasteless. Overall I would say this place is overrated and overpriced. If you do give it a chance be sure to ask to sit outside or in the bar so you don't get stuck in the closet read more

They have a good happy hour! The cuvée burger was awesome! The restaurant is very pretty and tastefully decorated. I'll be back!
