We’ve been loyal customers of Cure since 2024, and it’s always been one of our favorite spots. The beef tartare, in particular, is outstanding—compliments to the chef—and keeps us coming back time and again.
Unfortunately, yesterday’s pickup experience was very disappointing. Since they offer Curbside, I decided to give it a try. My order was scheduled for 5:50, and I arrived early at 5:37. I called as instructed and was told the food would be ready in about 10 minutes. By 6:01—more than 20 minutes later—no one had come out with my order or reached out to me. I continued waiting, assuming the team might be busy.
When I called again, I was told, “It’s been done,” in a tone that felt dismissive. The restaurant wasn’t busy, so it seemed my order had simply been overlooked. To make matters worse, when I asked if “curbside” meant I should come inside, the response was a curt, “Yes,” with no acknowledgment that curbside service is something you advertise.
If that’s the case, it may be better to either ensure employees are properly trained on offering this service or remove the option altogether.
We truly love Cure and the quality of your food, which is why this experience was such a letdown. I’m sharing this feedback because we know how much care usually goes into both your dishes and your service, and we hope this part of the experience can be improved moving forward.

This is a 5 star restaurant. Absolutely superb ingredients and immaculate orchestration of them. The short rib beef and biscuit was phenomenal. Poached egg was done perfectly with yolk that walked out of the white, rather than ran. Biscuit was brown and flaky with buttery and salty goodness. Nailed the strawberry danish real proper like with flaky and soft pastry and wholesome compote. Came back for dinner a few days later and the scallops were delicious with the perfect juicy and soft (but not raw) texture. It had a basil and herbed beats that I could eat—and I don’t eat beats. Ricotta cnocchi was so damn smooth it slid down the gullet with ease; no heavy chewing or rich resistance. Haven’t even had the pork chop I ordered yet but suspect it will be on point. Regardless, the delivery of all the above warrants a 5 star rating. Highly recommend. Mad props to the chef and cooks.

My wife and I were in from out of town and we stopped in on our anniversary. We had no plans, and no reservations but they were able to seat us comfortably.
I’m not suggesting to not make a reservation, it’s probably a good idea since the place is smaller, but we got in early.
The space is unique, a mix of modern industrial and cabin charm…(whatever that means) The surrounding area is awesome. Parking was easy if you care about that kind of stuff.
The cocktail menu was compact but had plenty of variety. The beer list was accessible, and a bit of something for most people’s tastes. The wine list was a bit more expansive so finding something to sip on won’t be an issue.
We went mostly small plates, but started with the Salmon Rilettes. Flavor was great, nice fat content, smoke came through but didn’t over power the dish. Seasoned really well.
We also had the charcuterie + cheese board. Cheese was approachable, nothing crazy. I’m not sure if the charcuterie is made in house, but both the coppa, and the prosciutto were flavorful, and sliced appropriately.
Honestly everything was just executed well. Would hit again.

I made myself a reservation because you never know, even though I was a solo diner. It did fill up rather quickly. I’ve heard this was the best restaurant in town, and once I saw the offerings, I knew I had to try it. I was able to order off menu for my cocktail, which was impressive given the waiter knew what I had asked for without having to explain it. Both the food and drinks were heavenly, melt in your mouth kind of sensatiable. Bonus points for the staff having Shout wipes available after I made a spill on my dress, and all I had asked for was some club soda. This *is* the best place in town, no notes!
Very good food and an attentive wait staff. The atmosphere is kind of old stagecoach stop, steam punk vibe. It's not very large, but it's worthorth the trip. We had reservations but may have been able to sit at the bar.

Worst service experience I have ever had in any restaurant, and all we did was walk in. My partners and I came in around 10:45pm and inquired at the bar if the kitchen was still open, and when the bartender said “for ten more minutes” we turned to each other to discuss if we would put the kitchen thru a new table right before close (as we have all worked in service) and the bartender interrupted us to pick a fight with us about whether or not we wanted to be seated?? I cannot believe how nasty and aggressive this man was, one of the other people working followed us out to apologize for him, I believe they said his name was Mike, and that management already knew about his attitude and that it wouldn’t be worth letting them know about it, but here I am anyways. Wow.

Just when I thought you couldn’t beat their fizzy cocktails (we loved the Bitter Sea & French 75) - the gin martini was one of the best I’ve ever had, complete with a lemon twist & punchy onion garnish. 5 stars for friendly service, a great atmosphere & delicious rillettes, charcuterie, bread & mussels. I can’t wait to return & try some more menu items! Thanks to the Cure Crew for a great night out!
