We were in Flagstaff for the day and wanted to find a nice place with a good patio to enjoy the weather on....Cuvee came up! Pork brisket sandwich was tasty and the hummus appetizer was a very pleasant surprise. Enjoyed our time on the patio eating our lunch and people watching. Will definitely keep it in mind next time I'm in town hanging out or passing through. Note: keep in mind this is a wine bar as well, with plenty of indoor seating.
Review Source:Been there once before. Â Service a little better than most places in Flagstaff. Â The menu listed on Yelp is out of date. The duck confit was delicious but a wee bit salty for my taste. The other diners were unimpressed, short ribs were a greasy mess; vegitarian selection is disappointing. Â Mahi Mahi tacos were very tasty but not spectacular. Â We all agreed OVERPRICED! Â TV with sports cast is out of place - its not a sports bar.
Review Source:Wow this was an awesome lunch.
I got a baked mushroom panini. The bread was great. The tomatoes on it were great. Everything on it was super great. I'm always checking out hot sandwiches and this one was a winner in my book.
The cous cous I got on the side was also awesome. It didn't look like any cous cous I'd ever had before, but it was so delicious. I'd eat a bowl of that alone for lunch.
Probably not the cheapest lunch you could have in Flagstaff but definitely one of the tastiest.
This restaurant is one of the best in Flagstaff in my opinion.
Despite what others might say, the design of the restaurant is very elegant and provides and excellent romantic environment. Â My girlfriend and I enjoyed the low lighting and windowed front that opened up onto a snowy Heritage Square.
As for the food, it was excellent. Our appetizer was delicious, set up the palette for our entrees and was the perfect size. The entree I had (brisket en crôute) was one of the few dishes I have ever had that surprised me with how good it was and how balanced the tastes were. My girlfriend said the same about her meal.
Unfortunately, due to our further plans, we did not try the wines, but will the next time we return to Cuvée 928.
The service was also very good. I got the atmosphere of a family owned restaurant with a small, knowledgable staff.
Overall this is one of the best restaurants on Flagstaff. I would definitely recommend it to any of my friends and will surely return.
I've eaten here 3 times since they opened. Once right when they opened and I wasn't a fan. I ate lunch and dinner there recently and they've certainly gotten better.
For dinner, I had the daily special Mac and Cheese with andouille sausage, and it was totally worth $12 price tag. I would likely not have it again just because there are other things to try, but would recommend it.
For lunch, I had the Rising Hy Pastrami Reuben with potato salad and mixed greens. This tasty sandwich is $10 and I would have paid $15. The bread is toasted in the panini grill and has a good crunch on the outside and a soft interior. The Rising Hy mustard is a local mustard with seeds and a bit of welcome heat. The pastrami was moist and full of flavor. The potato salad was excellent, I enjoyed the texture and the flavor. Â
Friend got the beef sandwich with onion aioli and blue cheese fondue. He was less impressed saying the fondue could have used some salt and pepper and that the aioli was bland.
The service these last 2 times was great and the waitresses were attentive.
I will return to try some other things and see if the score continues to rise.
Going to Cuvee 928 is like being invited to a friend's house for dinner and agreeing to go because you heard that he lived in a really cool house, his mom was hot, and she cooked great food.
It turns out his house was a cold icebox with cement floors, too many windows, and his mom was just OK-looking. His mom only knows how to take comfort food and add strange ingredients to make it seem hip and cool. It tastes OK, I guess. Fortunately, she keeps good beer and wine on hand.
All her friends sit around the house drinking wine while staring at themselves in the window, and talking way too loud.
When I tried to leave she took all my money and called my mom to say I had to cut her grass ten times this summer -- for free! What a rip!
This is a great place to meet up with friends especially when the weather is nice. Â They do have outdoor heaters on the patio which is where I prefer to sit and people watch on Heritage Square Downtown Flagstaff. Â Have a nice bottle of wine and appetizers (good artichoke dip) and unwind the day.
Review Source:The five stars are taking into account that this is Flagstaff. Â In Phoenix, it would only rate four stars. Â But Cuvee 928 is one of only two choices for delicious, innovative, fun food in Flagstaff (along with the Cottage).
Cuvee 928 is a wine bar in the historic area of Flagstaff, right on a little mall that often features street performers (in decent weather), and is especially lively on weekends. Â The wine selections are okay but uninspired, but the food is always good and sometimes very good.
At lunch the feature is sandwiches, served on top notch breads and with special meats, such as honey glazed pork loin. Â The sauces and condiments are selected thoughtfully and add a lot to the sandwich.
At night, the menu consists mainly of about ten entrees, and the ones we had were interesting, well-prepared, and tasty -- even the meat loaf.
On the downside, you might find it somewhat cramped, and it can get very busy. Â Parking in the historic area seems tough at first, but just go a block or two in any direction and you will find a spot.
Every single time I am back in Flagstaff, I make it a priority to get to Cuvee 928 for lunch for the brisket sandwich with Israeli cous cous and salad. If they ever stop serving this sandwich for lunch, it could cause some serious problems for me.
I highly recommend this choice for lunch (you will thank me) but if you decide to go with something else, I can say with conviction that everything else on the menu is great. Their meals are very well executed and they have a great wine/beer list.
I miss you Cuvee 928.
Cuvee is always wonderful! We stop in here on most mondays for their burger and a beer special! We are always greeted with a smile, the waitress even remembers our order, and makes us feel very welcome!
Not only are their burgers awesome, but we went there for corned beef and cabbage on st pats day, and I was blown away! I don't remember ever liking corned beef so much!
Thanks for the amazing deals, killer foods, and great service (:

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).
Review Source: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. Â Cuvee 928 is growing on me, but I still have my complaints. Â 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. Â
Undoubtedly, this is an expensive place. Â But there are times that a splurge is in order. Â I'm still very disappointed that their sparkling list is terribly, terribly small. Â But they do have some okay wine specials, and I am growing more fond of their food. Â Their mac n' cheese is wrong. Â When they do it on a special it is just to die for. Â I recently had the bacon and sage mac. Â So delicious. Â And, save room for the cappucino creme brulee. Â Worth it!
Another big downer is that the snooty snoots are always out in force here. Â Be warned, if you do not satisfy the "in-crowd" you will be looked down upon. Â I get this vibe every time I come in.
This place is classy. Â It's not overpriced and I don't feel uncomfortable if I'm just myself, not all dressed up like some of the patrons. Â The food is excellent, the staff is friendly and the atmosphere is fun. Â The patio is awesome in the summer, but generally hard to get a spot. Â Their menu changes frequently, using ingredients from other places, like Satchmo's, who I love!
Review Source: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!
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.
Review Source: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.
Review Source:This is my absolute favorite wine bar/gourmet eats place! Â We live in Flagstaff part-time and our first and last stop is always Cuvee 928. Â The food is created with basic, fresh, and delicious ingredients put together in a fantastic way. Â The atmosphere is casual, elegant with a great patio overlooking heritage square - great people watching. Â If sitting inside, the all window walls make for a great view of downtown while savoring your wine. Â There are excellent daily specials on wine and food. Â With regular tastings and $10 bottle nights, there is always something great going on at Cuvee 928. I love this place!
Review Source:Cuvee 928 is a great find. Â 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. Â Try the pork brisket sandwich; it's to die for! Â The selection of wines is impressive and the staff are pleasant and efficient. Â My wife and I go to Cuvee every time we are in Flagstaff.
