Cuvee

The food was simply amazing. Nice menu with a variety of choices for all tastes. Chilled variety of wines also. We visited it twice in our short visit to LA. Great inexpensive meals, very nice setting. However, the staff set this place aside. Thank you Antonio and Jenny for the hospitality. Will be back!!!

The one dish that is consistently great at this place is the salmon with mushroom risotto. The salmon is always perfectly crispy on the outside, but tender on the inside and never dry. The serving of salmon is a bit small, but it is always cooked perfectly. The other dishes here are hit or miss. The bread with pesto sauce that they bring out before your food arrives is fantastic with baked in walnuts and raisins. The outdoor seating is good for dates with nice lanterns, small plants, and water fountains.

I walked upon this place in between an appointment in the medical wing of Beverly Hills and work; it was a lovely find. Excellent wine list, menu and happy hour. I had the Buffalo Shrimp and Chamdeville Brut on happy hour followed by the Butternut Squash Ravioli, a buttery Chardonnay and eventually a coffee. All of it was excellent and well priced and the outside patio down the side of the restaurant was pretty and relaxing with a bubbling fountain and little lights and candles once the sun went down. My server Mariliis was sweet, helpful and professional. I work in the industry and so I'm apt to be critical but I highly recommend stopping by for wine alone or to eat as well.

The deli-case salads and the seared Tuna sandwich are fanatastic. I got the grilled vegetable side and the hearts of palm salad both of which were huge portions and tasted great while still seaming healthy. I loved the ahi tuna sandwich with nice cuts of meat seared perfectly with an interesting soy/ginger type sauce that compliments it well. They are a bit pricey but worth it.
