I took my friend to Cuvee for his 66th birthday. We had a delightful time and the food was wonderful. The prix fixe menu at Cuvee is an incredible deal. It's unreal. As my friend said, "You go to Shake Shake and dinner is $25 per person and you come here and it's about $50 per person. How does that even make sense"? This meal would be several hundred dollars in a big city. I suggest you go there and see for yourself. read more

Cute restaurant in the heart of Carlton. Great 3 course prix fixe option that's nicely priced. There were lots of great options on the menu and then there were many more daily special options on top of that. You get an app or dessert, soup or salad, and an entree. Everything was really well prepared. The seafood dish and lamb chops were incredible. Staff was really hard to read though and could have been a little friendlier than so regimented. We wanted to try so many more dishes so we will be back. read more

We came here for my mother in laws birthday and the food was DEVINE. First of all one of the best things is you walk in and theres this wonderful dim lighting and soft music that's playing. The wait staff is so very kind and speaks softly. Very cozy seating arrangements. It's overall a very relaxing dining experience! We got the chicken, the fish, a steak, and their pork dish. (I can't remember the French names for everything) all the meats were so tender and flavorful. And even the sides were seasoned perfectly. The veggies were covered in this wonderful buttery sauce. Even the lentils were delicious! We had the flourless chocolate cake. Yum yum yum. Would definitely come here again! read more

This was an amazing evening. The ride to the restaurant was so beautiful. The rolling hills of the Yamhill County wine country to the small quaint village of Carlton. We were met at the door right away and felt right at home. It's like you're transported to the French countryside. The price is very reasonable considering the food and the serve. We'll be back. read more

Excellent prix fixe dinner. I had the escargot appetizer, rib eye steak and fries and the butternut squash soup. Loved it all. My partner had the pork chop and the mushroom appetizer which he said were also excellent. Service was great. The owner was helping with the service and chatting with all the patrons. The ambiance was warm and intimate. read more

There was no waiting for a table with our reservation. The waiters and waitress and owner (from who I recognized from photos) was very fun and engaging. We ordered escargot, cold soup, seafood entrees and flourless chocolate cake. Everything was brought out very timely, very classy and very warm and welcoming. It is a charming place. The bathroom was very clean. We will be back! read more

Merci! The best French restaurant from here to Vacqueyras. Henri puts the "bon" in bon appétit. Every bite was exquisite (chef's kiss), service was outstanding, dining room was quiet but fun. "We'll be back!" read more

We came for a friend's birthday with a fairly large party split over two tables. It's a very small, cute, upscale restaurant in Carlton. Everyone in our party opted for the prix fixe menu for $45 and ordered some wine as well. It is a pretty good deal for what you get. The service was quick, and the staff were very helpful with our questions. - Escargot (5/5) - The escargot came prepared in the usual style with a buttery garlic sauce and the shells already removed. It tasted wonderful, and it came out very quickly. Perfect with the bread. - Steak frites (4/5): This was also delicious. Steak was cooked well, good portion size. The fries were good but not amazing. I usually like them more crispy. - Poisson du Jour, fresh catch of the day (4/5): Cooked well, flaky, tasted fresh. I wish there were more vegetables, but great dish overall. read more

Cuvee is a cozy French bistro that offers both a 3-course prix fixe and an a la carte menu. Our party opted for the prix fixe and we were happy with both the quality of food and service we received. Our collective hors d'œuvres were the flatbread with pepperoni, chicken liver mousse, and clams marinière. For entrees, we got the fresh catch (Columbia salmon) and lamb tajine. Everything was really tasty and we were very full by the end. I thought I'd fomo a little about not having dessert but I didn't have any room for it. Great dinner option in Carlton! read more

The food at Cuvée is amazing. You can't ask for better food at any price. Now they do have a set price for a three course meal of $50 which is good for the amount and quality of the food The service is fantastic as well. They are funny and helpful. Top notch The only downside is the ambience. It is missing something. It is nice and clean but not exciting. If you are in the area and want a great meal at a great price stop in and check it out. You won't be disappointed read more

My wife and I came back after 8 years and were pleasantly surprised to have the same host/waiter from 8 years ago. Lovely spot with good food options and a well chosen wine list. No wine over 50 bucks. Price to quality is off the charts, just a great value. read more

This is it!! Why look anywhere else when you're blessed with a place where the food is perfectly delicious, the service is charming and fun, and the prices are reasonable. Tonight our group enjoyed a delicately flavored chilled soup (it was 100 degrees outside), chicken liver pate, seared tuna, pork medallions - oh my!! Oh, I didn't mention the Ghost Hill Pinot which seemed to bloom in flavor with each course. Ambiance? The food, service and friends added up to the best ambiance ever. read more

The authentic French bistro ambience was comfortable and relaxing. The menu is limited, but all three of the entrees were delicious. They also offered several specials that sounded amazing. The white wine we tried was spectacular and the red recommended for dinner was also great. This was our first visit but it won't be the last! read more

Surprisingly diminished. Had high expectations and were met with a limited menu, lack of ambiance, and just okay taste. There were some highlights showing shadows of what once was. read more

We had the best dinner ever in the Willamette Valley. Just two of us, our first time, but were treated like old friends. Flavors so new. We had soup, seared tuna, and lamb chops. We'll be back for sure. read more

This was the best meal of our trip so far. Don't miss this place and make reservations in advance. I am not going to go into great detail here because their price fix menu changes based on what is fresh. We had the lamb chops and ribeye. We had steamed clams as an appetizer. All perfect... read more

Cuvee Restaurant - Lamb chops - French Near Me - Carlton, Oregon

Delicious as always! Cuvée is our go to spot in Carlton for an elevated dinner out. We love the food as well as the service, the space is filled with art, white table clothes, and even with a full house, it feels intimate. We enjoy trying the new special appetizers and entrees; the soup is always creative and yummy, and there's always the traditional butter and garlic infused escargot! Aller tout de suite! read more

This place was so amazing! My boyfriend and I decided to try this restaurant at long last and we enjoyed the food and the service a lot. We were both saying our french fries were super delicious and our main food too so so delicious. And the chocolate cake? That was to die for. It was warm and just melted in your mouth, I don't think I've ever had such a delicious piece of chocolate cake. And I'm not usually a crab person but the white fish on basmati rice that had crab in it too was amazing! My boyfriend was surprised I was eating it but it was just so yummy! We just had such a wonderful experience at this place and we both agreed we would definitely recommend this place to everyone and we hope to be back soon to try more yummy food! read more

Came here for our anniversary dinner and everything was flawless. It was a treat to have our order taken by the owner and chef who gave us a bit of a history lesson on the restaurant (19 years strong and the first restaurant in Carlton) and had a fun (on the dry side) sense of humor. We opted for one of the french wines since we'd had plenty of local wine by then and it was so so good. Our appetizers were semolina cake with mushroom cream sauce and the clams - both were excellent but the mushroom dish was to die for. For our entrees we had the lamb and pork chops. My husband isn't much of a foodie but he couldn't get over the pork chops - said they were the best pork chops he'd ever had. My lamb chops were phenomenal as well. The cost was surprisingly affordable for such a decadent meal. Overall it was just a wonderful dinner experience and we'll definitely be back in future whenever we have something to celebrate. read more

Amazing food- definitely worth a visit! We loved all the courses especially the cheesecake. Service a little slow but it was worth it- the food was fantastic! read more

Food was very clean and overall very good. I had the Pork Tenderloin (Filet Mignon etc from menu name) Essentiallly 3 slices of pork tenderloin breaded (similar to a pork milinase, paired with a homemade pasta prepared similar to a schnitzel...could've used a sauce (maybe a butter sauce) ....husband had originally ordered the Lamb Chop special and then was told it was sold out...he was deeply disappointed by his knee jerk order of the Ribeye ("super thin and lacked flavor")...though he thoroughly enjoyed his split pea bisque. My sister and her husband enjoyed their "Lean Cod" special. And their clam appetizer was "super yummy" and then after finishing their clams they had a touch of red wine added to their Broth to be soaked up by their bread. Overall the meal was reasonably priced and overly disappointing. read more

Our meal here was a bit hit or miss. We had a reservation and were seated quickly. They have an extensive wine list but when asked if they have any nonalcoholic options, the server stared at me and eventually said sparkling water or Diet Pepsi. This was a strangely common response in this town, so it wasn't surprising. I stuck with water but wished their was something more interesting to have with the meal. My friend enjoyed the wine the server suggested. The escargot was tasty while the clams were in a broth a bit lacking in flavor. The salad was lettuce with a tiny bit of beets and dressing, while the cold potato soup had some oil and a tiny bit of pepper on it and was very bland. My friend loved her steak entree and fries, and the lamb chops were my tastiest item, though the vegetables served with it were undercooked and thus a bit too hard and again lacking in flavor. The creme brûlée was fine, not great but not bad. It was a good amount of food for the price, but the quality wasn't what I was expecting given the rave reviews we'd heard from everyone. read more

The food is excellent and so is the service. I have been to France and the food is authentic. I just wish the menu was a bit larger with one or two additional entrees. read more

Love the quaint and quiet atmosphere of cuvée. The owner is always so gracious, and comes to every table to make sure everything tastes great. We love the fact he is always there! There are usually about five choices of entrées, and all are delicious, between my husband and I we have tried everything there, and we will always go back for more. Nothing but great things to say about Cuvée. read more

Excellent meal, wonderful service, a very pleasant evening. We enjoyed two dinner specials: the pork chop and wild-caught steelhead, plus the pork medallions in our party of three. We additionally opted for pork rillette as an appetizer to share and then the very solid creme brulee and delicious flourless chocolate cake. We'll be back. read more

A local told us about this place, that is shouldn't be missed...he was right! Local wine selection was small but well chosen. Steamed clams appetizer was fresh and clams sweet, home made bread was perfect accompaniment. I had the cold soup which was very flavorful reminding me of mussamum. Wife had spring salad which was very fresh. For entree my wife had the steak frittes which excellent. The veggie sides were so fresh! The standout items was the fritte sauce, she loved it so much, triple dipping for every bite was observed. I had the pork belly that was also well prepared and was served with same vegetables along with baked black-eyed peas. We split warm chocolate cake with ice cream. The servings were polite portions and we were not overstuffed but extremely satisfied. Service was okay, seemed to be understaffed and sometimes off-track. It did not affect the dinner service and if we ever come back through this area we will return. read more

We've been enjoying this wonderful, small French restaurant in Carlton, OR on most of our trips to Oregon for a number of years. It has remained very consistent in menu offerings, availability of wines, and service. We recently enjoyed dinner with our son & his partner as part of our 60th wedding anniversary celebration. The prix fixe is always tempting, but other options will be just as delicious! You should be sure to make a reservation; this is a smaller venue, and space goes quickly, especially on weekends. Highly recommend! read more

Excellent hospitality and wonderful food in a beautiful setting. So authentically French. The staff went above and beyond to make our experience enjoyable. I left my sunglasses behind and was leaving town the next day. They were so kind to mail them back to me. Cuvée and it's staff are a rare treasure. Highly recommend. read more

We moved to Oregon 2+ years ago & live in West Linn, about 45 min away from Carlton. Cuvée is THE best meal & restaurant we've been to since moving to Oregon. We will be back. Henri - the owner & chef is a gem. Wonderful dry sense of humor, great customer service & host. My wife & I celebrated our wedding anniversary at Cuvée. We couldn't have selected a better place to celebrate. While the entree selection may not be huge, it's very similar to what you would find in a quaint restaurant in France or Switzerland. Henri had, maybe a half dozen choices as an entree, but I wanted 5 of them. They all looked delicious. I had the duck & my wife had the fish special. They both were delicious. Save room for desserts. They are delicious, as well. Do yourself a favor & during these Covid-19 times, book well in advance. The restaurant is quaint/small & only every other table can be utilized. We went on a Thursday night & I believe they were already booked for the entire weekend. Thank you Henri! read more

What a fantastic way to spend Valentine's Day! From the wine list, to the appetizers, the entrees, and even the desserts were absolutely spectacular. Not to mention the service was 10/10. read more

Seems like a small family run French Bistro serving Alsatian specialties. With the Prix Fix menu (Appetizer or Dessert, Soup or Salad and Entree) offering a good choice, it was hard decisions on which way to go. We settled on the mushrooms & cornmeal cake, butternut soup, pork medallions / shrimp & scallop gratin ending with creme caramel. Each dish was flavored perfectly. Of special note was composition of the pork medallions with red cabbage and pasta was simply outstanding; a wonderful fall dish. Henri selected the glasses we had with each course. For 2, our final bill was almost exactly split between food & wine. Full value received and eager to return. read more

Cuvee is an amazing restaurant that feels very much like the true small fine dining restaurants in France. The food has great flavor and is wholeheartedly worth the price. The owner is also incredibly hands on with his staff and guests, which is rare to find. I couldn't be happier with this restaurant, we're excited to come back! read more

Enjoyed this small, informal French bistro. We got the price fixed $30 meal, which includes soup or salad, appetizer or dessert, and entree. At the server's suggestion we split the appetizer (amazing twice-cooked French fries) and got only one dessert (chocolate mousse), which was good. We both ordered the soup of the day, asparagus leek, which I liked, but was quite peppery and too much for my spouse, and the server immediately exchanged it for salad. Both of us got the same entree, salmon on lentils with a light lemon cream sauce, delicious. Ratings: location and atmosphere 4, service 5, food 4, value 4. read more

Great atmosphere amazing food and great service! We were walk-ins because the restaurant around the corner was closed despite having reservations (talking about you, Earth and Sea) This place is a gem. We will be back! read more

I had not been back to this restaurant in years, it was even better than I remembered. Escargot was great, butternut squash soup tastes like fall, Filet Mignon de Pork with house made noodles and cabbage awesome, basque cheesecake great. Asked our server to pick a bottle of wine to complement and he chose a great Alsace Pinot Gris that complemented everything. White table cloth, but not pretentious. Go and put yourself in their capable hands-you will not regret it. read more
