If you are weary about Covid-19, do not come here. No one from front of the house to the kitchen wears masks. Our server was horrible and extremely rude. We were a fairly large group so I think she was overwhelmed. Food was sup-par, only good thing about this place was their wine. read more

Came down to the area for 5 days and this was my first stop for dinner. This restaurant never disappoints. Hunter was our server and he made some great recommendations. The wine was great, the scallops were seared perfectly. I had the halibut and it was deliciousness. Finished with the flourless chocolate cake. Wow. Had a great birthday dinner and I wanted to thank Hunter and the team for making it special as always. Thank you. read more

This is a great place for a special occasion dinner. We celebrated our anniversary here, and the food was delicious. Service is outstanding also. Crab and corn chowder, filet, and grouper were especially tasty. We went to the bar last week for their happy hour specials and menu (4:30-6 pm). The flat bread and sliders were delicious! We loved it and had a great time. Fun and friendly atmosphere in the bar. Highly recommend. read more

None of the staff were wearing masks (front and back of house), and servers didn't seem concerned about maintaining distance even without masks. This is the first restaurant I've been to in the 30A area during COVID that didn't have employees wearing masks when interacting with food/beverage or guests. I almost left because of this but stayed, as it was the fourth restaurant I tried to go to for dinner as a non-reservation walk-in (none of the others had space available). I did appreciate that they put reserved signs next to you at the bar to discourage other parties from sitting right next to you, to maintain distancing at least in that regard. The food was just ok. I ordered off of the Happy Hour menu, which was a great deal, but I wasn't wowed by what I ordered (French onion soup and a fried grouper sandwich). Reminded me of higher-end pub fare. read more

Today is Mother's Day, we planned ahead to be sure we could find a nice place to eat. Cuvee 30a had a page on their website dedicated to Mother's day, we thought this would be a good choice. It was a good choice BUT it was their regular dinner menu at lunch time. That's not a bad thing, but I confess that I was disappointed because I was expecting and looking forward to a brunch menu. As always, our service was fabulous and the food was outstanding. It was quite expensive, which I would have known had I known it was the dinner menu. Just an informational review in case someone is checking in for next year's Mother's day you should specifically ask, maybe they will change and offer brunch. read more

Hands down the best food on 30A. Happy Hour great. the service is great!! The Ceasar salad is my favorite ever!!!! unreal!!

Food is spot on. Service, except for Chris C., is superb. Wife, aunt, and daughter went last month and he treated them poorly by speaking down to them and only recited the menu when asked questions about a dish. If you are paying around $100 per person, you should at least get some respect. Make chauvinism is not warranted in a high price restaurant that serves top end dishes. read more

We drove 2 hours to celebrate my birthday! We eat out four or five days a week at the best restaurant's in the panhandle of Florida also Nola's best seafood and we were very excited about trying Cuvee30A! Our waiter informed us that no mater what we ordered it would be the best food we have had in five years! Wow we were excited for our evening! I had the famous pecan crusted grouper and my wife had the duck. This was the absolute worst fish I've ever had it was rubbery and definitely not grouper! Actually swai or tilapia would have been an upgrade! The Duck was way over cooked, this is definitely a tourist trap and at $500 for four people, stay away this place is a joke! If you want a nice seafood place drive to Pensacola beach to the Grand Marlin it's always spot on and super fresh! read more

I took my husband here tonight for his birthday. If I could leave zero stars I would the service was good but the food was horrible. My husbands grouper was like rubber so he replaced with scallops the scallops were undercooked and slimy. I would rather eat at McDonald's on a bad day rather than ever eating here again. I ordered half duck it was overcooked and had zero flavor besides the sickening sweet sauce that they drowned the plate with. We drove 2 hours from home just to eat here what a waste of time. read more

Happy Hour is posted as 4:30 pm to 6:00 pm. Got there at 5:00 pm all excited to have good food and drinks and they said we needed to be seated by 4:45 pm for Happy Hour! We certainly were not happy about that! Why advertise something to get people in and then change it once they arrive? The website says nothing about having to be there for 4:45 pm. Very disappointed! read more

Suggested by a close friend and foodie... she didn't let me down. I popped in for happy hour and tried the smoked tomato soup, bread with dipping sauce and fried green tomatoes with warm Brie and sautéed crawfish. YUM! The service was outstanding and the whole experience was wonderful. I will definitely be back to try the other menu offerings. read more

We normally love this place. But today our bartender took our order for food then refused to serve a glass of wine. We left had to pay for the food we didn't eat. I'm sorry but if you think we can't drink wine. Don't take our order. Another waiter reminded us it is a felony to leave without paying for food. Nice. Just like 1984 over here. If you need a nanny eat here. read more

We celebrated a birthday here last night. The food and service (by Jacob) was fabulous. A good waiter is worth their weight in gold. It is part of the overall dining experience. Jacob is top notch. The food was really good. I had the pecan crusted grouper and it was cooked perfectly. We tried 3 different appetizers and the fried oysters were our favorite. We also tried the dessert sampler which I highly recommended. Everything was delicious. The chocolate crepe was my favorite. This place will not disappoint you. read more

Giving two stars based on previous experience, not the most recent. We like to go to happy hour and sit at the bar and chat. Normally the servers are attentive and the food is ok if you stick with the burger or sliders. The main menu is overpriced and overly sweet with odd combos such as fried green tomatoes with Brie. The grouper dish is covered with soggy pecans and what smelled like maple syrup. It's best to stick to the basics! Recently we went with our daughter and sat at the bar. We ordered multiple appetizers and drinks. After snacking, we ordered entrees. Our entrees arrived but no one asked if we wanted anything else to drink. I waited and waited but our server never even made eye contact. I never got to order wine and I had to flag down a bar back to even get water. Finally she came by and we ordered a glass of wine. Well we finished and ordered dessert and asked again about the wine but it never came. She did remember to put it on our bill though! We reminded her to take it off. Not a great experience for $200. I would think at least water refills are included! read more

Fabulous date night spot! Enjoyed a rum punch and a pear elderflower martini with the heirloom tomato salad to start, flavorful and refreshing. The pecan crusted grouper was phenomenal, paired with the potato cake for him and the burrata mashed for her. Dessert was delightful, the corleone ice cream balls were delicious and enough for two to share. read more

We had the best time here. Group of ten coming in at 8 pm; we made reservations a few weeks in advance. The food was AMAZING (I had the special- halibut, others had short rib, kids red pasta, steak, and crab legs). We also had several drinks and all of the sampler desserts. Our server was Jacob and he was incredible! He was very kind to all of us, quick to serve, and especially good to our 7 year old who is just starting to order from servers herself. Thank you so much for an awesome experience! Highly recommend. read more

The service is wonderful and the food is amazing! There was a group of ya so we got several things to try and share.. our favorite being the lamb and grouper entrees we had. You can't go wrong with any of the cocktails either! I also became a fan of escargot here read more

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

While some of the food was delicious, including the seafood tower and the seared tuna, my party had some issues with the cleanliness and food preparation in the restaurant. There unfortunately was a roach on a plate that was served to the table without inspection. Upon realizing this, the restaurant proceeded to reimburse us with a 50 dollar gift card, which in my opinion, was insufficient, as the restaurant's prices ran very high. Additionally, the crab and corn bisque had multiple crab shells in it, which, after the roach incident, was a big let down for our party. To summarize: BUG ON TABLE. BAD. However, our waitress was lovely and very considerate of us and the situation throughout our entire dining experience. read more

Best meal in the area. Our server was just as great as the meal and complied with our request to wear a mask. Three of the four in our party ordered the grouper. The fish and the potato it was served on were outstanding. We ordered a side filet and brussel sprouts for the table and were so glad we did. Beet and Caesar and spinach salads all complimented our entrees. Only problem was we had no room for dessert! read more

This place was so fun during happy hour and the food was AMAZING!! We had a great server and delicious wine along with a fun crowd !! Highly recommend! read more

Bar staff was lacking in competency, friendliness and professionalism. It seemed that our bartender would have preferred to be elsewhere. Visited again. Some good points but way too slow. Never again. read more

After waiting 40 minutes for appetizers, we asked to simply go home and cancel the entrée. The restaurant would not do this and threaten to call the cops if we did not pay for the entire meal that they did not provide. Do not ever go to this place. read more

We came to Sandestin for the weekend to celebrate my wife's birthday. I looked for chef's tasting menus online and stumbled upon Cuvee 30A. I decided to give it a shot and reserved the chef's tasting. When we arrived we were led back to the wine room where a cheese plate was already waiting. I ordered some caviar and champagne to start. We enjoyed it in the wine room then Leah led us the the table which is right across from the pass, facing the kitchen where all the excitement is. We selected 8 plates from the menu and very soon were enjoying our first plate with wines they had selected. The fried green tomatoes, Chilean Sea Bass, and bone-in filet were all outstanding. Our server Leah (hopefully I spelled that right!) was charming. Thanks for helping to make our night special! read more

This is a fantastic place. It is a modern open place with lots of windows. We were a party of 14 and they did a fantastic job waiting on us. The food and drink at this place is superb. Their redfish special was the tastiest food at the beach and the presentation was perfection. Everything was above expectations and would recommend this as a must eat will at the beach read more

Dinner was superb. Ambiance was perfect. Our service was good. Enjoyed our family meal.

Great date night meal! The options were unique and we enjoyed the chef's special for the day.

The worst service in my 57 year history of eating out. The waiter was condescending, incompetent and rude. We spent $700 for 7 of us and even though the food was good. He just ruined it. He brought out a surprise birthday dessert and then charged us for it even though we didn't order it. Pass this place up, it's just not worth it. read more

This place, the service, and the food was Me·di·o·cre defined: of only moderate quality; not very good. Atmosphere was "shopping mall meets flip flop crowd", service was uninspiring, and the food was blah... We won't be back for dinner. Would consider having a drink at the bar and watching football, but never again for dinner. Not horrible- just not very good. read more

Green beans were canned green beans. Everyone at the table agreed. One of the entrees wasn't ordered and came out 15 min after the others and was extremely salty. I ordered the specialty steak of the day. It was a rib-eye cap priced at $58. The dish consisted of 4 slices of rib-eye cap. No restaurant of this caliber/price should be serving canned green beans. One positive was that our waiter Jacob was excellent. read more

I've been visiting this restaurant for 5 years, the food is consistently good, the martinis are amazing, and they have a great wine list. But what highlights this place IMO is the outstanding costumer service. Recently we were served by Jacob, we was fantastic, the perfect balance between friendly and profesional (which is hard to find). Part of my family is vegan and, before we made the reservation, we confirm they could accommodate that (there are not many fine dining vegan options in the area.) The chef had prepared a vegan selection of 3 delicious courses, he even made almond cheese from scratch, we were all very impressed. Im only giving it 4 stars because I consider the restaurant a little expensive. The happy hour is very nice because you can get a good deal and there is live music at the bar. read more

Great restaurant on 30A. A little over priced but our server Tracy Elford took excellent care of our table of 12! She was very attentive. All orders came out right. We were there for 3 hours. She was very patient. Kung pao oysters were a hit. Seafood tower was v. Impressive! read more

Cuvee 30A - The seafood tower. - New American Near Me - Inlet Beach, Florida

Visited this location recently with friends/family! We were greeted by wonderful staff who all took great care of us. The meals were outstanding, but the quality service is what stands out. We never wanted for anything and we all loved the food. The appetizers were delicious and the main courses & desserts were among the best we have had in the area. We will be back often. read more

Start to finish, terrible food. Service was ok, but not friendly. Smoked tomato soup tasted like liquid smoke, and I'm being generous. Under seasoned fried green tomato appetizer, soggy pecan "crusted" grouper on top of a mushy , tasted frozen potato cake. All agreed it was the worst meal we have had in a long time . Waste of time and money . read more

Honestly- the most disgusting meal my husband and I have had in a long time. The steak was practically inedible. Not to mention our server was horrible/insane. I would not recommend this restaurant to my worst enemy. Save your money and go elsewhere. read more

Had a great dinner with friends celebrating a 45 yr friendship at this very inviting restaurant. Jacob was our server. He was accommodating and easy going with a big smile. He loves his work and is exceptional at it. He took pictures of our group and was part of several pictures as well. Jacob made suggestions on entrees and also wine pairings for each. I had the pork chop on his recommendation and it was flavorful, juicy and delicious. I'm still thinking about that chop!! Thanks Jacob for all you did to make it a delightful night out with treasured friends! read more

The food was fine, if expensive but the management was not! We requested a change of table and were told none were available over the next 2 hours due to reservations. Leaving 1 hour later restaurant was virtually empty. Lot of no shows apparently! read more

Don't bring young kids- or if you do, ask for the private dining room. Our waiter was kind, but dry wit. So you need to know how to take him ;). The Kung Pau fried oysters are awesome. Great Caesar salad. Filet is wonderful. Chocolate sin cake & the crepes are great! Also- look at music schedule! The night we went (Friday) they had live music outside of the restaurant on the courtyard area and it was SO fun! read more

Armed with our gift voucher we stepped in. We always like to eat early so 4.45 pm it was. The rehearsal hour - or happy hour as they call it. The food was average, fried green tomatoes with crawfish,(brown butter sauce and crawfish were delish, the tomatoes a little over cooked and soft for our taste) caesar salad, (small), spring rolls (greasy). Pear Martini (no pear) eww in those stainless steel martini glasses me no like. Manhattan, deep sigh. The main problem was the staff, surly and chitter chattering about the challenges of the evening ahead. We came to relax - not listen to their woes or their planning. Dont talk about this in front of the customers!! You need to be ready at happy hour, we are paying guests! Oh and did I mention when the friedgreen tomato came out, the deliverer was on their cell phone. We had a gift voucher so did not feel cheated but here's the thing, we wanted our servers to be swans gently paddling downstream (poncey I know but is it too much to ask). Did we feel wanted? No, would we have spend a lot more than our gift card if we liked it, hell yes. Celebrity chef, well just let me pick myself up from the floor. read more

Good, nearly great food. Very good service. Bar seems lively for happy hour. Tip: request the main dining room. DO NOT let them put you in the back room. If there is anyone else in there, everyone ends up shouting. The main dining room is loud, the side room is intolerable. And they know it's an issue but don't seem to be doing anything about it. The manager would not move us. Was pretty indignant about it. The server somehow made it happen. Saved our dinner. read more

After days of mediocre to flat out horrible dining experiences all along 30A, this was a welcomed breath of fresh air! We made a reservation the day of (Wednesday) for 8:15pm. Our table was ready upon arrival and the restaurant wasn't too busy. We brought a few of our own bottles of wine and paid the $25 per bottle corkage fee. Our server was Tracy and she was attentive, but not obtrusive. She was friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. We ordered escargot, Caesar salad, and French onion soup. Everyone enjoyed their first course. I was not a fan of the bread that was served, but, that's just my personal preference. We had filet mignon that was cooked perfectly and very affordable at $36. À la carte side dishes were all delicious. Mashed sweet potatoes, traditional mashed potatoes, and Brussels sprouts. At $10 each, I felt they were an appropriate size. Dessert consisted of key lime pie, banana bread pudding and a sampler platter. Everything was tasty, and again, Tracy made our experience even better. I will definitely return this week, as it seems good food plus great service is hard to come by in this area. read more
