This is my new favorite restaurant in 30A. The food was incredible and the service was outstanding. The owner/head chef (Tim) came out to talk with us and sign his cook book for us! Our server, Jacob, had the best personality. He had us laughing all night. So glad we came here and can't wait to come back next time we're in town!

The food was mediocre at best. Certainly not worth the price. They need to discover spices other than salt. Disappointing experience.

Unfortunately, our experience just didn't live up to expectations. We were seated with a direct view of the hostess stand and surveillance screens displaying all the dining tables—not exactly the ambiance we had in mind. The menu lacked excitement, and the food didn't justify the $300 bill, especially considering that two of us only ordered soup and a small salad (no entrées), and the other two didn't order any drinks at all. The bread service was particularly underwhelming—just four tiny slices and a single, pre-packaged butter portion about the size of a Tootsie Roll. We honestly thought it was a joke at first. Desserts were the highlight, but overall, the experience fell flat and just wasn't worth it in our opinion.

Excellent food! Excellent service! Our appetizers were great, and our meals were even better.

This was our first time dining here and we really enjoyed it. Haley, our server was great as was the rest of the staff. The spinach salad and the rigatoni were delicious!

Everything was excellent except we're disappointed in the Seafood Tower. it's usually excellent as well , but this time everything on the Seafood Tower was pretty much tasteless like it had been frozen for a long time. Also portion seemed smaller.

We ordered three well-done burgers for our kids, but they came out completely burnt and inedible. When we raised the issue, the manager, John, insisted that burning was “unavoidable” with a flame grill—something we've never experienced elsewhere. After waiting 20+ minutes for replacements, we were still charged full price ($19 each) with no apology or adjustment. When I calmly voiced my frustration, John was condescending and dismissive, saying “we're a fine dining restaurant” as if that justified the poor food and service. He then hovered nearby, making us feel uncomfortable and unwelcome. Not the experience you'd expect from a place that claims to be fine dining.

Sadly this experience was not good bc the kitchen was clearly way behind and not managed well. We had a 7:45 reservation. Took 30 minutes to get cocktails and over 1.5 to get our food and we had no real (soup and salad) apps. Ridiculous. No one came w more drinks or even bread to hold us down. Not a fine dining experience. Food was good once it came. Manager also wouldn't comp or do anything for our incredibly long wait despite us complaining twice in the service about how long our food was taking. Not good business and we will not be back.

We've eaten at Cuvee 30 A many times and this was the first that we were unhappy with the food and service. As usual we order all courses up front to keep the food scheduled out. Some of our bar drinks were forgotten, one salad came out a good while after the other appetizers, our main course was 30 minutes after our appetizers were completed. Waiter said there was a big table ahead of us that caused our order to be late. When my husbands ordered medium rare + steak arrived, it was still cold in the center and rare. He sent it back but when it came out the second time it was charred on the outside. He ended up cutting off all the edges to even try to begin to eat it. I ordered brussel sprouts as a side. There was nothing left of them other than burnt flakes. After taking 2 hours to eat, we opted out of dessert, even though I've always enjoyed their dessert menu. We will probably be back, but it was very disappointing based on past experience and the cost of the meal.

Food and service was slow. Wanted to like it, but overall experience was poor for the price point. One and done for sure.
This was our first time at Cuvee 30A and we were very impressed. Our expectations were exceeded by a wide margin. The menu was varied and extremely well done. We will be returning soon.

Enjoyed our meal at Cuvée 30A. Kurt was fantastic. Very knowledgeable, attentive, and engaging. While there are not any designated vegetarian entrees, Kurt was quick to offer a plate of veggie sides that was delicious.
Alfred
The food was delicious and the service was perfect. Thanks Naryna for making our special night awesome.
Bruce
Food was excellent as well as the service. Great service that was above and beyond and would highly recommend!

We have eaten at Cuvée over the years and this was by far the least impressed we have been. The atmosphere, food, and vibe has trended more casual, which is fine, but the elegance seems to have been sacrificed to draw in more of the beach crowd. While things change, the prices certainly have remained high and I would expect more ambience for the price. Overall, still good but no longer great.
