Reviews Cuizine

My wife and I were celebrating our anniversary and decided upon a very last minute stay on the beach. We needed a great meal to go with it and decided to give CuiZine a try. We went in with nearly zero exceptions and came out with a 2+ hour meal of impeccable service, outstanding food, beautiful music and just great vibes all around. We had a reservation, but showed up a little bit early. It was no issue and they quickly ushered us to a great table that gave us perfect view of the violinist/singer (more on her later)… and on top of that they had done up the table with rose pedals and had champagne glasses ready for us to start the night off with. Colin took care of us all night and what an absolute treasure he is. His knowledge of the menu was excellent and he helped guide us all night with great knowledge of the flavors and techniques used to create each dish. Let’s not forget the fact that he’s a sommelier and a cocktail guru, what a fun conversation he was throughout the evening (and I came away with some new projects to try at home with mixing flavors and liquor!) So let’s talk food, because that’s what you’re here for. We started the night with the Chef’s Special Burrata and French Onion Meatballs. Both were exceptional. The burrata was so flavorful and fresh, it was an excellent start to the meal. The French Onion Meatballs were exactly as you’d hope they would be and exploded with that French Onion flavor. There is also a bread course. I probably could have skipped the little breadsticks, but the bread itself was baked perfect and incredibly tasty. A little sea salt on the very good butter would have been chefs kiss perfect. Oh and those French Onion Meatballs I mentioned? They were so good we just HAD to try the French Onion soup that it was based on. The soup did not disappoint, my wife and I split the soup and devoured it quickly. Our two year old would have been in heaven with it. So while all of that delicious food was going on we were treated to the violin and vocal stylings from Charlotte Goodman (Char Good as we came to learn!). She added the perfect ambiance to the meal and was clearly having fun the entire time. The fact that she would roam the room and play to tables really took the performance to the next level. She came over and asked if we had a wedding song (we did, I Knew I Loved you by Savage Garden). She didn’t happen to know the song (or the few backups we picked, I swear my wife wanted to challenge her to the max)… but minutes later she started up I Knew I Loved You and nailed it. It was so much fun to watch her try to figure out how she wanted to handle the song and by mid-way through she had figured out her groove and was feeling it. It was so special and fun. Then the main courses came. I did the chef’s special Osso Buco and it was done up exactly as you would hope. It was so tender and spiced very well. The risotto paired with it was exceptionally flavorful and really made it a complete dish. My wife did the Parmesan Crusted Veal Chop. It was cooked to a perfect medium rare and exploded with flavor. It’s a must have on the menu for sure. Somehow, after all that we still had room for desserts. We were finishing up past closing time so my heart was broken with the lack of Creme Brulee, but the Flourless Hazelnut Chocolate Cake hit a spot I didn’t know I had. It sealed the meal perfectly while my wife did some ridiculously chocolatey chocolate cake that she loved. All in all it was an exceptional evening. The owner and chef came by and chatted with us a bit and was very friendly. They let us stay past closing to finish up our meal and we really appreciated that. You want the tl;dr? Excellent food, great ambiance, wonderful music and Colin is the best. Oh and the cocktails were on point too!!! Though I kind of want to try some of the magic Colin was talking about making at home. Haha!

Last night we went for our first time to celebrate our anniversary. The whole experience was perfect. They had our table ready with rose petals and a champagne toast. The craft cocktails were delicious. The food was out of this world. I had the veal chop and my husband had a rib eye. Both were cooked perfectly to order. The crab bisque is excellent. The violinist serenaded us with our request of our wedding song "How sweet it is" by James Taylor. The chef and owner, came out and introduced himself and asked us how everything was. We we will definitely be back. The best restaurant we have been to in a long time!!

Absolutely brilliant experience all around. We had a large group so I made a reservation, and we were seated right away upon our arrival. A few of us (including myself ☺️) started with the smoked old fashioned, which had the best presentation I’ve ever seen. (I won’t ruin the surprise, you just have to try it.) We ordered a few shareables for the table: escargot, filet mignon eggroll, and several bowls of French onion soup. For the main I tried the truffle pasta with a lobster tail, and let me tell you this may have been the best pasta dish I have ever eaten. Desert was a mixture of crème brûlée, bread pudding, and espresso martinis. Everything from service to food was phenomenal, we will absolutely be back. Thank you!!

Me and my friends had a wonderful time at CuiZine. Everything was amazing. Our knowledgeable, friendly, and fun server Jennifer shepherded us through a delicious meal. She knew every detail of the menu and provided excellent recommendations. We were also wowed by the live entertainment. A very talented electric violinist played a variety of musical genres. People were dancing and we were definitely singing along to the songs we knew. Our meal was DELICIOUS!!! We had rhe filet mignon egg rolls as our appetizer. It was perfectly cooked and served on a bed of lettuce and mango salsa. Our entrees were miso glazed Chilean sea bass, Oscar style boneless ribeye, and lamb chops. Each was cooked perfectly. We shared an order of lobster mac and cheese. It was served with an entire lobster tail on top. For dessert we had the creme brule. It came in a beautiful dish that highlighted three different flavors of the confection. We also had mango key lime pie. The sweet mango was a perfect balance to the tart key lime flavor. Our meal ended with a happy birthday serenade from the violinist and chocolate cake because we were celebrating birthdays. We were hoping to find a nice place for a birthday dinner and CuiZine knocked it out of the park. If I'm ever in the Cocoa Beach area, I will DEFINITELY be returning.

Excellent steaks, sides, service, and we even were alerted to the SpaceX launch as we left.
