The food was excellent, and the atmosphere was very nice. Food portions are not huge, so don't expect that. Everything tasted great and the service was outstanding.

First I highly recommend making a reservation. Our experience here was nothing short of excellent. From the hostess to the busser everyone was very attentive and polite. The food was delicious. I highly recommend the flatbread white pizza. We then had the Bison strip steak Oscar with Yukon gold mashed potatoes and asparagus. Both were garnished with a roasted mini... More

Tried this lovely restaurant on a recommendation. Service was superior. Waiter very friendly and knowledgeable. Party ordered broiled soft shell crab which was divine. Chilean Sea Bass and grouper entrees very good too. Venison steak was good but smaller portion.

We were in Destin celebrating our 27th anniversary. Friday night was wild and restaurants had wait lists of an hour plus. We used tripadvisor to get reservations at Cuvee Bistro and walked right in. We were seated next to the herb garden and every the door opened we were treated to an amazing variety of great smells. The bread was... More

We dined here to celebrate a 50th wedding anniversary. There were 9 of us. The wine selection is great, especially since they have so many wines by the glass. Everyone at our table likes something different so we did wine by the glass. We all ordered appetizers and sampled each others. The fried green tomato appetizer is by far the... More

The pizza appetizer is great and could be a meal. The fried green tomatoes are great. The fish special is great. The pasta was not my favorite.

We had previously made reservations but there was a mixup in the number of people in the party. This seem to be a bit upsetting to the hostess but they did get it worked out and seated us. Food was excellent and our server was great!!

Was very excited to check out Cuvee B…but they must have been having an "off" night. Our server was obviously new, very awkward and not professional. We did enjoy our appetizers and salad but our fillet came so rare, almost raw (we ordered medium) that we had to send it back and then it was over cooked. Although they did... More

This is one of the top restaurants in the area. I would give it my highest recommendation. The staff is very attentive and helpful. The food is absolutely outstanding. It's pricey, but worth the expense. The foie gras appetizer is just unbelievable. I had the special halibut and it was outstanding. Get the dessert sampler...or just get the chocolate crepes.
