Review from Sarah B.

Cuvee 928 is a must if you are going to Flagstaff.
The food, location and service are all great. It's definitely a trifecta of awesome.
We were only in Flagstaff for the day and Cuvee seemed like the perfect place to sit on patio and watch the world go by. Indeed, it was.
I had a raspberry French75. I'm not really into fruity cocktails, so I was a bit nervous of ordering this, but if there's a French75 on the menu, you gotta order it, right? I was really impressed. It was a French75 with a little muddled raspberry, no fake raspberry or syrupy sweetness at all. Hooray!
We ordered the smoked salmon appetizer. I appreciated that it came with cucumber slices and apple slices - really refreshing flavors with the salmon and dill creme fraiche. We also ordered fish tacos, which I've been dreaming about ever since. Seriously, I recognize I have a bit of a taco problem and could probably eat tacos every day for the rest of my life, but these were delicious. Lots of cabbage crunch, lots of spice and a generous amount of filling in each. They probably aren't great if you are trying eat in a prim and proper manner, they're a little messy.
Finally, we finished dinner off with some Earl Grey Truffles. Dark chocolate with a hint of bergamot. Very smooth, very chocolate, very worthy of ordering on your own without intention of sharing.
I've only been there once, but hope to get back! -

Third time eating here. Decent wine selection, ok prices. Filet was good, cooked properly, sauce was soupy but flavorful, earthy and robust. Chicken parm on the other hand was outright BAD. Fake prepackaged parm, over burned chicken on overcooked noodles. Yikes. Server recommended this atrocity, whereas decent menu items went unmentioned. Felt somewhat unwelcome (as locals).

I love this place. Great appetizers and small meals. Decent wine list. Great cocktails (they serve proper Bellinis!), great location, great ambience. The prices are a little on the high side for what they offer, but I like to go here when I'm in the mood to treat myself. The food is made from quality ingredients and is nicely presented. Great staff, too!
Nice place to go on a day date. -

Agreed- location is great.... so is the layout and ambiance. Cuvee 928 is right by all of the downtown Flagstaff bars. Additionally, this is a venue that can be walked into at 9:00pm and not feel uncomfortable ordering a leisurely dinner.
Going off of another Yelp review, we ordered the Salmon App- very delicious is you like fishy seafood. The artichoke app was more popular amongst our party of seven.
They allowed me to add on the side salad for ~$4 (a deal they no longer ofter but can be found on a 'pdf' online). I ordered the steak with mushroom sauce... and that's exactly what I got- nothing more nothing less (glad I ordered the side salad).
You can't look at the online menu and know what they are going to be serving that night. I believe they try to serve a "seasonal" menu, but they are faster at preparing the food than they are at changing the menu online. Since we had checked out the online menu before hand, I was disappointed when those items were not on the current menu.
The items we did order were acceptable.... BUT the fact that they were each about $25-not that impressed.
I would really like to give Cuvee 928 more stars... but considering what/ how much we recieved for the price payed... I cannot do that. -

I definitely need to add some updates here. Cuvee 928 is growing on me, but I still have my complaints. I have a couple of friends who LOVE this place and we end up going more than I'd like but overall, the experiences have been decent.
Undoubtedly, this is an expensive place. But there are times that a splurge is in order. I'm still very disappointed that their sparkling list is terribly, terribly small. But they do have some okay wine specials, and I am growing more fond of their food. Their mac n' cheese is wrong. When they do it on a special it is just to die for. I recently had the bacon and sage mac. So delicious. And, save room for the cappucino creme brulee. Worth it!
Another big downer is that the snooty snoots are always out in force here. Be warned, if you do not satisfy the "in-crowd" you will be looked down upon. I get this vibe every time I come in.1 Previous Review: Show all »

Went here on a Wednesday night looking for a relaxing, upscale environment and that's exactly what I found. The staff was friendly, the menu was tasty, and the drinks were delicious and reasonably priced. I'll definitely go back.

We enjoyed a visit to Cuvee 928 on a really warm February day and sat outside on the patio. The service was great, so was the wine list. It is a classy but casual place and the food is fairly priced. We split a panini and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Our dusty hiking group of four stopped in for a well-earned lunch. They made us feel very welcome despite our appearance. The brisket was heavenly and the veggie wrap was also delicious. We shared a bottle of Riesling and were soon human again. Thank you Cuvee'!

This place is classy. It's not overpriced and I don't feel uncomfortable if I'm just myself, not all dressed up like some of the patrons. The food is excellent, the staff is friendly and the atmosphere is fun. The patio is awesome in the summer, but generally hard to get a spot. Their menu changes frequently, using ingredients from other places, like Satchmo's, who I love!

Cuvee 928 is by no means cheap, but it is totally worth it. I enjoyed every bite of my appetizer, salad, and entree. Even if it is relatively pricey, everyone in Flagstaff should try Cuvee 928 at least once.

Since their expansion they are now a full service restaurant. They sell great food at reasonable prices. Relaxed atmosphere.
I'm a total foodie and I've eaten at most of the known places in NAZ.
It is my favorite restaurant in NAZ. -

Went to Flag for the weekend and stopped into this wine bar for a drink. Nice wine selection and drink menu, and the prices were reasonable. Services was fast and efficient. My only beef is that the red wine was served warm. However, the peach bellini was one of the best I've had in the states. Also, the patio was primo.

This is my absolute favorite wine bar/gourmet eats place! We live in Flagstaff part-time and our first and last stop is always Cuvee 928. The food is created with basic, fresh, and delicious ingredients put together in a fantastic way. The atmosphere is casual, elegant with a great patio overlooking heritage square - great people watching. If sitting inside, the all window walls make for a great view of downtown while savoring your wine. There are excellent daily specials on wine and food. With regular tastings and $10 bottle nights, there is always something great going on at Cuvee 928. I love this place!

Wow. First off, I cannot believe that no one has reviewed this place yet. In Heritage square, next to Monsoon, is Cuvee. My friend, a long time Flagstaffian, and daughter of a French restaurant owner, took me here. I think I have gotten everyone I know hooked since. The staff is amazing. All the women are gorgeous and even though there are no uniforms, they all wear sunny spring dresses and heels. The ambiance is lovely, and the patio is a must on a nice day. The lunch and dinner menu are the same. The vegetarian sandwich is great, but the best ever is the overnight brisket with a cheese fondue dip. Order extra dip, trust me. The sandwiches come with a small salad and the best couscous I have ever had. The ice tea is amazing, and they have a steak salad as a special sometimes, which is also great. Great place to go with girlfriends, cause it has a great dessert menu, which is hard to find in Flag. The barely baked chocolate cake with 5 spice ice cream is so good I crave it, and the creme brulee rivals that of any ritzy creme brulee I have had in major city's' French restaurants. If you are looking for the non-typical Flagstaff place (brewery, greasy spoon, etc) this is the place. TRUST ME.

Cuvee 928 is a great find. It has a comfortable feel at the inside tables and bar, and when the weather is agreeable, the outdoor patio seating makes the experience even more enjoyable. Try the pork brisket sandwich; it's to die for! The selection of wines is impressive and the staff are pleasant and efficient. My wife and I go to Cuvee every time we are in Flagstaff.
