    No draft, but beers served in chilled glasses

    Return trip, happy hour in the bar, at the bar! Great burger, good service. Bar gets lively and a bit noisy as it fills during happy hour but a fun spot and getting those happy hour prices makes it a good choice!

    My group of 6 friends had a wonderful dining experience at Cuvee with exceptional service from Jakob, our waiter. We enjoyed the Cuvee lemon drop martinis, pecan crusted grouper, short ribs and an array of desserts. The French press coffee was rich and flavorful. We loved the key lime pie cheesecake! The atmosphere is lovely and the food was excellent.

    Happy hour menu, 4-7pm.

    We came for happy hour, it's an amazing menu with great prices considering the quality. Our server, Ashley did a great job, overall an extraordinarily pleasant experience.

    We had a great experience at Cuvee 30A. I had the Rigatoni with Maine Lobster. It was rich, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. My husband had the grilled salmon since they were out of the short ribs. He liked it but he felt the portion was a bit small. For drinks, I had the Pear Flower Martini (light and refreshing), and he had a Negroni. Both were excellent drinks. We ended the night with the Valrhona chocolate crêpes and the Cœur de Lion dessert--both were incredible and delicious! The restaurant was busy, so service was a little slow, but our server was great and kept things moving as best she could. The vibe was upscale yet relaxed--perfect for a date night. We're looking forward to coming back (hopefully for the short ribs next time!).

    A premier dining experience. Joined friends here for dinner one evening while on spring break and enjoyed an evening of splendid company and a dinner to match. Started with well-crafted cocktails and enjoyed some quality wine with the meal. All of the dishes were perfectly prepared. The short rib was falling-off-the-bone tender and beautifully flavored. Steaks were cooked to perfection. And the desserts...well, full as we all were from the meal, we were far from disappointed to have found some room for those! Atmosphere is classy but with a relaxed enough feel befitting of its near-the-beach locale (so, throwing on a shirt with a collar isn't a bad idea, but nice shorts are perfectly fine attire, no need to get decked out, unless of course you want to!). Service was excellent, attentive and helpful without being intrusive at all.

    The host John was great, found us a table at a busy time. Service was fine, food choices were decent. And they charge a credit card and entertainment fee which to me was unusual for an establishment like this.

    Food - Good but not blown away. Party of 3; $215 later I was still hungry. Atmosphere - very very very busy (the spot we were seated); definitely not fine dining experience. Experience - Totally not worth your money. Made a reservation, but got seated at a high traffic corner at the bar area near the exit and not dining area. Service mediocre - waitor was not very pleasant and very robotic in tone. Although, he was attentive with refilling our water. He stood there and waited to get my plate from the table as I was finishing my last bite. Rude! I rarely tipped below 20% even if the food was bad or the waitor appears inexperienced. Definitely will not return.

    I ordered the Caesar salad, brussel sprouts, and the lobster rigatoni, all were delicious. The half/side salad portion is a joke tbh but the 2 bites tasted good. I ordered the grapefruit mocktail but made it alcoholic and recommend that pairing. Overall, delicious food and our waitress Hailey was literally the best but the food is definitely a bit pricey for what you get.

    We took a chance on Cuvee and were SO pleased, from beginning to end! It's in a cute location. We sat outside and were able to hear live music. Our waitress was phenomenal. Beverages: They made my dirty (filthy) martini just right with blue cheese stuffed olives (little flavor bombs!) The Manhattan was also pretty good. Appetizers: The crispy oysters were delicious. Crispy on the outside, and the oyster bursts open when you take a bite. The mixture of flavors and textures just worked! They provided a yummy ciabatta bread by request. Entrees: I'd recommend the lobster rigatoni. Full of flavor, nice chunks of lobster, al dente, and the perfect portion. The steak filet was also a great choice. We added a little salt, but that was personal preference. Dessert: You must order the key lime cheesecake. I'm not even a huge sweets person and I couldn't get enough! We ended up getting two.

    Well we have had a soup and salad for the 1 hour and 20 minutes we have been seated.

    Horrible dinner experience bc they can't manage the kitchen, clearly. Nearing 1.5 hrs since seated and no dinner to be had. Recommend that you don't waste your time here.

    Pork Chop

    I was looking for a place to have my birthday dinner while in the area in December. They have a pretty limited selection menu and since my husband is vegan I emailed the restaurant from their website to inquire about vegan options. I got a response from the owner and Chef Tim himself explaining how they love vegans and have many way to alter their dishes. Reservation booked and excited. We arrived on my birthday to have dinner and the atmosphere is very laid back and great decor. The server greeted us and I mentioned the vegan options and she said she would check with Chef and get back to us. She came back and offered the french onion soup (made with beef stock and cheese, a delicious salad (all have cheese and cream based dressing and some have meat) and their amazing side dishes (most are sauteed veggies assuming in butter). She also offered a vegetable pasta. When inquired about all the cheese and dairy in those options her response was oh i guess he cant eat those then. SO with no other options he ordered the veggie pasta. The entrees arrived and the veggie pasta was covered in shredded cheese. Waitress seemed surprised but took both entrees back and brought new ones. Hubby said the pasta tasted only of garlic. My venison was AMAZING. We ate, paid and left (FYI the veggie pasta was $36, total bill $160). I decided to email the Chef not to complain but to let him know that the expectation that he had for his servers and the experience was not how he initially explained. VERY quickly i got a respons apolagizing and explaining this is absolutely not how the experience should have been and that the GM will reach out to me. GM and I spoke over phone and he apologized again and offered us a credit to come back for a 2nd attempt. We came back and got a new server, Jaykob, who was absolutely amazing. He explained every entree on the menu for me and then the chef offered a multi course vegan tasting menu. The vegan items that just kept coming out from kitchen were equally all delicious and there was at least 6 including a dessert. Our 2nd visit was exactly how I would expect an establishment with a award winning Chef/owner to accommodate dietary requirements. I ordered the pork chop and it was the best and HUGE. THe cocktails were spot on as well. Jaykob was very attentive and made sure that as each vegan item came out he explained exactly what it was. He seemed genuinely excited each time bc it was something new. This will be our goto special occassion place anytime we are at our house in Panama City Beach. Thanks Chef Tim and the whole staff for making the effort to talk to me about our first visit and going above and beyond to correct for our return visit!

    This was a $19 pour.

    We had the absolute BEST experiences of our trip at this restaurant. We had such a good experience…read morethe first time we came, that we visited twice on our 4 day trip. Our server Jack was the kindest human being ever, and made us feel so comfortable about the handling of my husband's food allergies (gluten, dairy, etc.). He was so personable and professional, and has a ton of experience in the food industry himself. We trusted him completely, which is rare. Now on to the food, the first night I got the soft shelled crab, which was delicious. It was very lemon forward and a generous portion. My first time ever having a dish of the sort and I was pleasantly surprised. The other night, I got the Scallops and truffle risotto, which was amazing as well, but the real star was the risotto. It was so good, I would recommend getting it as an individual side with anything. We also received the crème brûlée for our anniversary, which was great as well. My husband had the shrimp cocktail, filet mignon, and elk over the course of his 2 dinners. Both were the best meals of his trip. The ambience of this place was also super nice, and there was plenty of parking since it was near a shopping center. All of the wait staff were extremely professional and seemed to enjoy working together. They all seemed genuinely happy to be there. We will definitely be coming back every time we are in town!

We started with the prime rolls for an appetizer, and for our entrees my wife had the snapper while I went with the BBQ shrimp. Everything was absolutely delicious. Stefen was attentive, knowledgeable, and answered every question we had. The service alone is enough to make us come back more often. Great job, Stefen--keep it up! Ambrosia, we'll definitely be back.

We lucked out that they let us come with our two adult sons and one slightly younger since he was with his parents. Appetizers: ceviches, blackened crab legs, and butter candle. All were fantastic. Great flavor. Mains: I had the red snapper and took the server's recommendation to swap the fingerling potatoes for the truffled mashed potatoes. (Lighting in the picture isn't great, but it was divine.) My husband & one son had the filet, another had the pasta, and the last one had the pork chop. All were really good. Dessert: we sampled the chocolate torte, crème brûlée, and the key lime pie. All were good, but not standouts on their own.

Big and small fire pits and chairs on the sand for those who want that, as well as a big open-air deck with a lot of tables. It's hard not to have a good experience in this setting. Seafood and sushi are their main offerings, though there are several steaks and other plates that will serve the non-fish people well. They've got a number of great looking apps, so you have variety for sure. We tried the trio of dips with cucumber and pita bread. I wish one of them hit it out of the park, but none did. The smoked feta was way smoked and too rich, while the guac option and the edamame option were nothing special. We'll try something else next time. The steak salad came was over-dressed... give the patron the dressing on the side to let them choose the right amount. The ravioli special came with two large pieces of grouper and, while slightly over cooked, contributed to dish with a lot of different tastes that went well together. In terms of drinks, the only NA offering is one Athletic lager ... please lean in on that and bring some more creativity to the NA cocktail and NA beer list. All said, though, it was a good meal and we'll come back with visitors to the area to share the place with others.

We went with a group of seven and everything from the atmosphere to the food made it a really fun night out. The location and vibe are fantastic -- lively but relaxed, the kind of place where you can easily settle in with friends and enjoy a good meal. We started with appetizers for the table: calamari, onion rings, and volcano shrimp. All three disappeared quickly. The calamari was really good and normally comes served over jalapeños, but since I don't eat them the kitchen kindly put them on the side for us. The onion rings were fantastic, and the volcano shrimp had a little heat (which the spice lovers at the table really liked). For dinner I had the hibachi steak over fried rice with yum-yum sauce, cooked medium. It was excellent -- tender, flavorful, and a generous portion. Others in our group ordered the same dish and loved it as well. The chicken nachos were huge (normally an appetizer but easily a full meal) with really tasty queso that had a bit of spice. The burger and flatbreads at the table also got great reviews. We also tried the chocolate dessert bomb at the end (not sure of the exact name), and it was fantastic -- chocolate mousse and cake inside a chocolate shell with whipped cream. Definitely worth sharing. The drinks were great, the service was friendly, and the whole place had a welcoming feel. One thing we really appreciated as well: they offer a military discount, which was a nice touch. We're locals and this was our first visit, but it definitely won't be our last.
