We really enjoyed our dinner at Cuvée Bistro. The service was excellent, the ambiance was nice and the food was very good. This was our favorite dinner in Cape Cod. read more

Food was just OK, definitely not the best in town. Atmosphere was boring. The waitstaff didn't have much knowledge, need to be better trained and not very friendly. Overall, not a great experience. read more

This is an exceptional dining experience right in the heart of Chatham! My mom and I have dined here 3 times on our trips to the Cape. We do the 4 course option and it feels like you are in Paris with the elevated presentation and innovative flavor combinations. It is definitely a place for a special night out! The menu changes often and I've tried different things each time! This time I had the tuna crudo, octopus, lobster and cheese plate. Everything was truly incredible! I can't wait to come back here every summer! It truly is a spectacular restaurant. read more

A new chef, with new flavors and approaches. It is a pleasure for us to dine here...it has been a periodic indulgence for us for years. Nice to see many familiar faces amongst the servers, and the sommelier (Raphael) is truly wonderful! We have always been met with warm greetings and very good and attentive service. My wife loved all the courses of her meal. 2 of mine were amazing (the toro and the steak), 2 were very good (the lobster and the lavender dessert), and one was decidedly lacking (first course bonito). So, in my opinion, not as consistently great as it was last year. But maybe wife would differ with me on this. Yes, it is pricey. But of the "pricey" options on the Cape, we definitely feel this is still the best. It's up to each person to decide whether any of these fine dining/pricey options are worth the premium over the cost of dining at the many "nice " restaurants on the Cape. We will return. read more

My Birthday Dinner could not have been more perfect! From the understated elegant decor to the impeccable service to the refined and artful culinary masterpieces, not to mention the Company, I savored every moment of my experience at the Cuvee Restaurant in The Chatham Inn.

Hands down best meal I've ever had on Cape cod. I plan on visiting for their degustation menu again.

This place is truly the best food for many miles! Every dish was amazing. The staff was professional, caring, and dedicated to excellence. Prepare for an elevated dining experience. My photo descriptions don't even begin to convey the balance, artistry and complexity of these amazing dishes! read more

This is by far the worst restaurant we have ever been to. The dining room feels like a sterile conference room and overall awkward setup- certainly not the experience we were hoping for/ expecting with a restaurant like this. The service from our waitress was almost insulting, we felt looked down upon and made to feel stupid for asking how big the steak entree was. We were given a rude look and told " it's the size of an entree". The sommelier was the only good part of the experience as he was very knowledgeable, professional and offered us a bottle of complementary wine for our anniversary. However, the waitress was looking down her nose at us the entire dinner and we seriously couldn't get out of there fast enough. On top of that the food was mediocre at best. We are big foodies and eat at a lot of fine dining restaurants and this was the worst we've ever experienced. The appetizer was 7 cut up cherry tomatoes with no seasoning on a dollop of what tasted like Heinz ketchup. Overall the worst experience, we have never been so looked down upon by a waitress, we will never be back here. We went back to our hotel ( we were staying at the Chatham Bars Inn) and had an amazing dinner there instead. Spend your money somewhere else! read more

Dinner at Cuvee, under the leadership of Chef Issac Olivo, means that you are going on an amazing journey. This dining experience will alight all your senses. We appreciated the staff who help Chef do what he says. The description of each course was beautifully articulated by the staff along with a wonderful Sommelier who walked us through incredible wines. Simply perfect. read more

Very special place. We did the four course with wine pairing. The staff is very attentive. The food beautiful. If I had to choose the perfect meal I would pick the sea bream over the foie gras. It was sashimi style. The foie gras was albeit melt in your mouth, but the sea bream had way more exciting flavors. Definitely not the octopus...maybe the guinea fowl. Why? The octopus was recommended by the wait staff but I have had much better. Yes it was sous vide so the texture was good but the flavors were just ok. The lobster beat out the bass hands down. It was so rich, full of flavor and very interesting. The bass was meh. Yes it had fun foam but the overall impression was so so. For the final course the cheese wins. The tart was very good but the cheese selection was much more interesting. I loved our server, lovely lady from Columbia, and our sommelier was fun, informative and entertaining. read more

The food and service were impecable. It was our anniversary, so they gave us a free glass of champaigne which was delicious. The food and plating were very creative. Being in an Inn with the restaurant located in a small room, we felt like we were in a conference room rather than an elegant restaurant. This place would be amazing if it had a view or they upped the ambiance some how.

Went on Saturday, May 1, for a late dinner with the fiancé. We both agreed that this was one of the best dining experiences we've ever had. Even though we've both been many other Michelin star restaurants, including a few two and three-star ones, where the food was better, the service at Cuvée was so above and beyond that it really elevated the entire experience beyond that of even the finest restaurants we've dined at. Please note that for dinner, you can only do the 3 or 4 course prefixe or the chef's tasting menu. However, unlike many other fining dining places where the whole table has to get the same tasting menu, I was allowed to get the 3-course tasting menu while my fiancé chose the 4-course menu. I was also allowed to choose whichever three courses I want (3 savory courses) instead of being forced to choose dessert for my last course. Our evening started when we were greeted at the door by Jeff who we later learned was the owner of the Chatham Inn. Jeff was very friendly and led us to our table. The environment is very cozy and intimate and the whole dining room probably seats less than 30 people even at full capacity. Right after my fiancé and I ordered our cocktails, we were greeted with complimentary champagne (and it was the good, fancy kind too) and an amuse bouche. That was the first of many free things we got that night, most completely unprompted other than Jeff or our servers wanting to make our experience the best one possible. After we finished the first course, Jeff stopped by to ask us how everything was. I raved about the tuna and hiramasa dish - Jeff said that and the Spanish octopus were his favorite items on the menu. At this point, I was a bit bummed because I was torn between the scallop and octopus for the second course but ended up going with the scallops. I made a casual comment about how I kinda wish I went with the octopus but it wasn't really that big of a deal. 10 minutes later, Elena, our server, and Jeff dropped off two servings of the Spanish octopus, compliments of the chef, for my fiancé and I so that we can BOTH try full serving portions of the octopus that I casually remarked I wish I ordered. Chef Isaac Olivo even came out to explain the dish. I've never had anything happen like that to me, even on various birthday dinners, special occasion, or even my engagement dinner at other fancy restaurants. But apparently this above-and-beyond service might just be par for the course at Cuvee. Because an hour later, one of the waiters accidentally mistaken my cocktail for my water glass, and refilled (diluted) my cocktail with water. When he realized his mistake, he sent over a whole new drink. Considering that my drink was basically 80% finished when he refilled it, I definitely was not expecting that. Below were my notes on the food/drinks that we ordered: - Expresso Martini was very good, like a perfect combination of coffee ice cream and alcohol - Salty Sailor - I LOVED this drink (and this was the drink that I got an extra of which I happily drank down even though it was like my 4th drink of the night by that point). It was almost like a very herby, refreshing Moscow Mule - not at all what I expected since its ingredient list had salted karamel vodka and banana liqueur so I was expected something more creamy and rich. It was amazing and perfect for spring. - Ginny in the Mirror was also really good. I can actually taste the chamomile flavor which is rare since it's such a delicate tea flavor. The chamomile pairs really well with the bitterness and herbaceous notes of gin. Food standouts: - Tuna & hiramasa (1st course) were so balanced - I love the fattiness of the tuna and the decadence of the caviar - Spanish Octopus (2nd course) - YOU MUST ORDER THIS! It's so good that I almost cried tears of joy tasting it. The char on the outside gave it a really nice texture while the inside is perfectly cooked - it was so juicy and tender and perfect in every way! - House made spaghetti (2nd course) - fiancé insisted on ordering this and I was glad we did. It reminded me of the spring vegetables pasta I got at Le Bernadin a few weeks earlier but that dish was probably $50 more expensive. The pasta was really creamy and delicious with hints of tartness - Day boat sea scallops (2nd course) is accurate for the description because these perfectly cooked scallops tasted so fresh, it's like they were scoped out of the sea right into the kitchen - New England Lobster (3rd course) - this was probably my 7th lobster within 36 hours but definitely the best one yet! The texture was that just-cooked-tender that comes from butter poaching. The meyer lemon butter sauce was perfect - Hazelnut coffee custard (4th course) was divine. The crumble with the coffee pudding and mascarpone ice cream was a perfect bite of dessert. If you're looking for fining dining or a meal to splurge while you're on Cape Cod, you MUST come to Cuvee! The food was great but the service was amazing! read more

One of the best dining experiences I have ever had. The food was tremendous. I had the foie gras starter, which was creamy and decadent. My wife had blue crab, which was sensational. The pork belly was the finest I had ever had. My wife had scallops, which were so fresh it tasted like they were caught 5 minutes before we ate them. We both had lobster, which was expertly prepared in a citrus cream sauce. Every course was a home run. The only thing that may be better than the food is the service. I lived in New Orleans for 3 years, where fine dining service is the norm at the upscale restaurants. The service at Cuvée is as good, if bot better, than that at Commander's Palace. Do not miss this experience! read more

An unexpected delight! We had the 4 course tasting menu without the wine pairing as we ordered off the wine list. The food was exquisite in every way. Each element was beautifully executed. Scallops, lamb and beef cooked to perfection. The Foie Gras terrine was sublime with accompanying brioche croutons and 3 versions of pear - poached halve, puréed and an exquisite pear gastriqiue! Oysters silkily seasoned! Tagliatelle with ragu worthy of eyes closed in reflection! I chose the cheese course which was perfection too. The cheeses were at a perfect temperature to enjoy them best which is so rare in even the best restaurants There wasn't a single aspect of the food that was not well....perfection! The added bonus in this tasting menu is the many wonderful choices you get in each course. My husband and I got to choose different dishes affording us the ability to try each other's choices! Elena from Latvia, and Luz from Columbia - loved hearing their stories, they've lived and worked in Chatham for decades - were professional and delightful and the service was seamless. Bravo to the Chef whom we had the pleasure of meeting and to the entire staff! Well done Cuvée! Paul and Judy Astbury Santa Barbara California read more

The best restaurant we have eaten at in a long time. The service was impeccable. The atmosphere was classy. And the food was delicious and artistic. Compliments to the chef.

It is worth the cost. read more

Probably the best restaurant I've eaten at in Massachusetts, Michelin star worthy. Been there twice thus far, once for the seven courses and once for the fifth. The food is top notch, the wine selection superb, service is great and the sommelier knowledgeable and entertaining. read more

Really disappointed in the service I received while dining here with my fiancé. Our waiter clearly didn't see us as important guests among the other older couples eating dinner and completely disregarded us throughout the entire evening. After being seated, he came over 15 minutes later to greet us. Ok - no problem here, I was a server for years and understand things get busy and we weren't in a rush. We ordered a bottle of Chardonnay and then didn't see our waiter at all after. 35 minutes (YES 35 minutes to get a bottle of wine) later a food runner brought us our wine and we watched our waiter speak to the tables around us and eventually I flagged him over and asked him if we could order dinner, now having been at the restaurant for an hour. He said sure and put our order in and we didn't see him again until we had to ask him for the check an hour after that. Now onto the food: We ordered the crab gazpacho as an appetizer. It was a strawberry basil gazpacho with "fresh lump crab meat". This was hands down one of the grossest things I've ever eaten. It tasted like a strawberry daiquiri and canned crab meat dumped in. Really sweet and the crab was salted and caused a very confusing taste. For our entrees we had the burger and the crab cake. Both were delicious, the burger had a bacon jam on it and the crab cake came with two very lovely accompanying sauces: one spicy and one that tasted like jam. Overall, I would never return here due to the service. The liquor prices were over 50% marked up (Oyster Bay Sauvignon Blanc retails for $11.99-13.99 but they offer it for $29), and the food wasn't worth coming back for. read more

Easily the nicest restaurant from Eastham down to Chatham, and probably up to P-town. It's our first time on Cape Cod and I'm a bit shocked at all the "Shanty's" "shacks" and "roadside" fried food places that are in all honesty, dreadful. How anyone eats all that fried food is beyond me. This restaurant is beautiful inside, the staff very nice, and food great. I'll be going back tonight, as it's our last night on the cape and we want the nicest experience. read more

My boyfriend and I were in Chatham for the night while on vacation and we are so happy that a friend recommended Cuvée! We had such an amazing time, and I am counting the days until I can go back. The room where we dined was so cozy and intimate. They even had a fireplace that they light in the fall/winter season (perfect for a holiday dinner or date night). The service was so knowledgeable and friendly. The food I could rave on and on about. I loved the octopus. I am usually not a huge fan but the tenderness and flavor of the meat made it one of my favorite dishes that evening. Another delicious runner up was the A5 Wagyu which my boyfriend ordered. The steak literally melted in your mouth. I ordered the lobster which was a great pairing with the steak. The presentation of the s'mores dessert was so beautiful. It tasted exactly like a s'more but in the most sophisticated way. When you get your dessert don't forget to add on the espresso martini! Thank you Cuvée for an unforgettable dinner! read more

What a gem! From start to finish, everything from the food to the service was top notch. Would definitely recommend getting the caviar - blinis and the accompaniments were delicious (as was the caviar). Each course was paced nicely, beautiful plating and simply delicious. We've been to many Michelin restaurants and Cuvée would fit right in with the best of them. Our server (believe her name was Luz) was phenomenal - the manager, server and all their assistants were attentive but not overbearing. A lot of times, service at these types of high end restaurants is pretentious but Cuvée nailed it - a balance of refined service with friendliness. Can't say enough good things - a must try! read more

My husband and I will be talking about this dinner for years to come! I called a few weeks before our anniversary and they confirmed over text. It was super easy and convenient. Everyone we told about our plans was telling us how much we would love it. Everyone was right! We were seated immediately and given such wonderful attention and service. Jeff, the owner, stopped by a few times which is such a nice touch. The food was really incredible. It's a wonderful setting and the attention to detail on the food is not missed. I got risotto, halibut and the a white chocolate dessert. My husband got octopus, lobster and scallops and a dark chocolate dessert. We left so happy I forgot my credit card and they called me moments later to come get it. You need to make a reservation here yesterday! read more

We dined at Cuvée for our anniversary and it was the highlight of our time on the Cape. The food was exceptional; each of the 4 courses was unique, full of flavor, and delicious. And the service was exceptional. A staff member was almost always near the table, yet the service was unobtrusive and well coordinated. We felt our experience was as good or better than other Michelin-rated restaurants that we've enjoyed. Thanks to everyone at Cuvée for a wonderful evening. read more

My husband and I dined at Cuvee this past weekend to take advantage of the special 6-course Valentine's Chef's tasting menu and could not be more pleased! We are still talking about it days later. The food was spectacular, but that was really just the cherry on top. We were promptly greeted by our server, Rafael, and his partner for the evening, Shawn, who made our experience so special with their warm (and hysterical!) presence. Rafael and Shawn were incredibly attentive, entertaining and just all around fun! Felix, the house sommelier, is truly something special that Cuvee has. Not only were his wine pairings superb, but his charm and charisma added so much to the evening each time he was at the table to share his wealth of knowledge and (very clear) love and passion for wine. We were also greeted by the owner, Jeff, who was lovely and continued to check on us throughout to ensure our experience was the best it could be. Lastly, Sherry, the GM, was another delight throughout the evening, also checking on us throughout and personally giving us a ride back to our hotel at the end of the evening when our resort was unable to be reached for car service. My husband and I have done several tasting menus in Boston and we can easily say this exceeded our expectations. You will not be disappointed in Cuvee! Thom & Alycia Busby Hull, MA read more

If your from out of town and looking for a place to stay and eat then look no further. We posted up at 359 Main St for a few nights and had the bonus of delicious breakfasts and dinners right down the hall. Their breakfasts I believe are only served the guests for the night but dinners are open to the public. Both meals I thought were out of this world. For breakfast I went with the Egg Sandwhich with bacon cheese and sourdough bread and it was so delicious, between the soft but toasted bread to the crisp of the bacon and aroma of truffle oil coming from the home fries just really made it pop. Probably a little to heavy on the oil for my liking but all in all was really well done. For dinner one night we had the scallop appetizer which were perfectly seared followed by a filet and short rib dish. If I was ever back in the area id be sure to make reservations again. read more

We ate in the bar section recently. It was a weeknight, kind of early in the season, and we had the place to ourselves. The recent renovations to the lobby are really nice. The greetings from all staff were very welcoming. The kitchen was a bit on the slow side for a quiet night, and that could become a problem when the restaurant is busier. As to the dinner itself: The spring barley soup sounded like a good selection on a chilly night, and it was filled to the brim with a multitude of fresh veggies. Unfortunately the "soup" had the consistency, and tasted like, little more than a bowl of hot water with boiled veggies, and a few grains of barley. I thought the starter salad was lackluster, one dimensional, with mixed greens that were soggy, like they hadn't been fully drained of water. The lamb shank is also a ​great idea on a cold night. It was a very generous serving, big and meaty, and served fork tender; but the glaze on the shank was very heavy, very sweet to my palate, and frankly, overwhelmed the lamb; a feat I previously thought impossible. Instead, you can put a classic Mediterranean sauce on my shank any day. The "flank steak" on Ciabatta​ roll was excellent all around, except it was short rib between the buns, not flank steak. This worked fine for me, but other customers might be disappointed. read more

The food was exceptional. Presentation, taste, everything! Service and ambiance left a bit to be desired for the type of restaurant. We arrived on time for our reservation and had to wait 10 minutes in the Inn lobby to be seated which is quite unusual for "fine dining". We ordered drinks in the lobby but they didn't arrive until well after we had been seated and unfortunately I received the incorrect drink so had to wait longer for the correction. The menu and various options weren't very well explained either. Ultimately the food was fantastic! We expected more out of the experience overall, but the food overshadowed the shortcomings. read more

Very disappointed in the portion size served for the cost of over $150 per person. We all had the two course menu and the amount of food was way under expectations. My NY strip was smaller than a 6 oz petite filet and half the thickness. Service was great, Scotty was wonderful. Atmosphere was awesome. Probably won't go back.

Cool spot with excellent service, great food and good wine. We were in Chatham looking for a place to share some wine and grab a bite. This place was it. The chef prepared a wonderful charcuterie board - the bacon spread is to die for don't miss it. The pork burger was outstanding as was the swordfish. This place was very relaxed, easy going, and fun. We ate outside, not in the dining room. No complaints. We will be back. Thank you. read more

First time visiting Chatham & this has been by far our favorite restaurant. Nice charming restaurant with a great wine selection to choose from. Our server Jennifer was amazing and very helpful with pairing our wines. We were interested in trying the tagliatelle with smoked antelope (never had antelope) with mushrooms in a cream sauce paired perfectly with Antinori Peppoli Chianti which we saw on the chefs special and they were able to accommodate us which we had as our appetizer. We also had the scallops sautéed with pancetta in a pea & spinach purée. Lobster gnocchi was made out of ricotta cheese instead of flour, not to heavy and portion was perfect. Halibut with sautéed fennel and artichoke was cooked perfectly. We definitely will be coming back again. Thank you for a great dinner. read more

Recently changed their menu. Insanely over engineered for every dish. Service is obsessive but means well. They want to be a Michelin Star restaurant and price egregiously for the effort. By the second course we were all just laughing at how seriously they took themselves. I'm not a food critic, but for 100 bucks per head half of us left hungry still. Would recommend Del Mar or Chatham bars inn if you feel like dropping money and like enjoying in. read more
