    We enjoyed our first time here. Waitresses can always make a huge difference, our waitress, Ms. Gracie, was one of those amazing young people. Her recommendations were spot on, we enjoyed everything she said was delicious. We ate the Land and Sea, a filet and a lobster tail, very delicious! We also tried dessert, we ate the Grand Marnier Souffle and the strawberry/white chocolate tart! Both were exceptional! Nice cozy little restaurant I would highly recommend trying!

    I came with a decent sized brunch group, and I would recommend this place. It is a smaller, but nicer looking restaurant in the Ambassador Hotel on the 1st floor. I enjoyed my food, and the atmosphere. The only issue we had was when we were paying our bill. It took almost 30 minutes to have our cards ran and returned to us. Over all it was a good experience and tasty food. I'll come back. If someone is looking for new restaurants or just information on one. Go to my youtube channel T&M Reviews and check out the reviews, and feel free to request a review of a restaurant.

    What an experience. You enter through the hotel, very welcoming staff and soothing atmosphere. Upscale place, recommend coming for a special occasion or anniversary. We got the Tomato Basil and onion soup. Along with the Kir Imperial Salad as our appetizers! You need to get the salad, beautifully presented with every ingredient having a time to shine. The blue cheese crumbles really brought it all together. The pasta pistou w/ salmon is amazing. I enjoyed that more than my plate which was the baked salmon provencal. The baked salmon was delicious, you won’t be dissatisfied! Especially the skin, I just enjoyed the pasta dish more! The artichokes and dried tomatoes were brilliant. Excited to come again. Thank you Café Cuvée for an amazing time!

    First off, I recommend getting a reservation. My spouse and I came here for Sunday brunch around 11 with no reservation. It wasn’t a problem necessarily, but we waited around 10 minutes for them to get a table ready for us despite tables that could accommodate 2 being openly available. There was also no host, so we sort of awkwardly stood there for a couple of minutes before a server welcomed us. My spouse ordered the smoke salmon eggs benedict, and I got the croque monsieur. We both got fresh fruit as our side. Both meals were delicious, though we both wished we had more fruit as what we had were cut very small and wasn’t balanced in terms of the amount of fruit. We also ordered a mimosa to split and it was good, better than what we’ve had at other places. Really my only qualm here is the service. It was slow. Our server got us our drinks and took our order fine. We thought it took a bit to receive our food and then our serve only stopped by once to ask out how food was at the beginning of the meal. We didn’t speak to her again after that; she didn’t give us our check nor did she check us out—it was the busser who did both of those. I thought it was just stranger considering our server was also taking care of a table behind us but seemed to pay more attention to them than us.

    This is a restaurant that’s associated with the ambassador hotel. There is a young gentleman who opens the door for you as you enter and leave. Bradley was our server and he was good at giving us suggestions for the menu that worked with our likings! They seem to update the menu often so you can go back again and try a new variety of dishes. We absolutely loved our date night here. Parking: we parked at a paid parking lot across the street but I think they validate parking for guests dining. I’d double check on this before valeting your car.

    Lovely brunch. This is such a wonderful cafe in the hotel. Great atmosphere and service. The coffee was delicious and the Ambassador Breakfast was perfect, eggs were exactly right and the bacon was crispy. For the Smoked Salmon Benedict the hollandaise was excellent. Highly recommend this for a nice breakfast or brunch. Also there is no banana in the fruit or on site , for those with an allergy.

    Food here is super delicious and pretty! The service is wonderful and very attentive. Think of it as fine dining for brunch. Or maybe it is for dinner too, I don’t know if they have that, we just came for brunch. Everything was tasty and had a little twist, like a French X American style menu. One thing I will say is that the chicken crepe does not state on the menu that it’s a pâté… yes, I know pâté is French but you can’t expect all customers to guess that when reading the menu. My husband didn’t like it at all, but wouldn’t have ordered it had he had known prior. I think it’s an acquired taste. I would highly recommend eating here, but without kids 😝 we brought ours, it wasn’t relaxing trying to keep them quiet when the dining room was quiet too! It’s the perfect place for a romantic date 💕

    Absolutely love this restaurant! It never disappoints. We have eaten here on several occasions and have always had amazing food, great French wine, and excellent service. Great ambiance, love that they have French music playing. The Kir Imperial Salad is the perfect start to every meal, definitely give it a try. Have tried several different entrées and they were all excellent! Can’t go wrong here :)

    Thanks to Hannah our server and the staff at Cafe Cuvee and the Ambassador for making it such a great dining experience. Hannah was efficient and thoughtful throughout the meal, combined with the wonderful food it made for a wonderful birthday dinner. We'll definitely be back. The french onion soup is hands down the best we've ever had. The whole meal was delicious!

  • 5/5 Shawn G. 1 year ago on Google
    Wow, what can I say the service was just fantastic. People knew their jobs and we atentative with out feeling pushy. When I needed somthing they were there and when I didn't they were not. The food was just awesome, from the pork starter to the desert! I had the lamb chops with a bowl of French onion soup. I am picky about my soup it must be hot not Luke warm because it was sitting on the ready line waiting to be brought out. It was hot and tasted very good. Herby, which was pleasant. Wife had the flank steak and a salad. Both the lamb chops and steak where cooked perfect. We did not feel rushed and we sat there until about 840pm roughly 2 and a half hours. I want to say thanks for a wonderful night to the staff.

    Genuinely one of my better dining experiences. The food was great but the attentive and over the top service was what set it apart. Danielle was our server and she made sure our time there was special. My wife and I went for our anniversary and they went OVER THE TOP to make it special. 100% recommend if you’re looking for a nice environment, good food, and great service.

    The staff was very friendly and welcoming! It is a small, intimate and warm environment. The food was absolutely delicious and the portions were good! We shared the chocolate mousse. It was just like s'mores and the three of us all loved it. But the way, the valet parking is complimentary if you're eating in the restaurant! I give it 2 thumbs up.

    Went for Sunday brunch. Make reservations; it was pretty full. Very nice atmosphere with a friendly and helpful staff (nice folks make all the difference). The prices are reasonable for such a nice place. There is valet parking on Walker and park yourself on 12th... look for the signs for the ambassador hotel (you have to walk a bit from here but not bad... on Sunday there was plenty of parking). Got the Croque Masiuere sandwich with the eggs on top and she got the cucumber sandwich; all very good. Will return to try some Benedict fare. You sit pretty close to others just FYI. Bathrooms are in the hotel. Enjoy

    Authentic French Restaurant in OKC. Some good dishes but was disappointed in others. The escargot was great tasting and had good flavor. The charcuterie board hig and plenty to share. Pretty good selection of things. The potato soup was an average potato soup. The beef boughion was a little salty and a tad too much wine. The chicken crapes were super dry and not much flavor. The scallop potatoes with the duck a la orange was my favorite of the whole meal. The bread was hot and fresh. The butter very spreadable. The watress friendly and attentive. Liked the atmosphere. If I tried it again I would try something else to eat.

    Service was excellent 👍. We got lucky and got a lovely young lady named Hannah and she was extremely helpful and very sweet. We started with steak tartare and it was fabulous. Perfect egg yolk stop a very nicely seasoned ground filet. The surprise was the house made chips. Very unique and tasty the salt was a great vehicle. They also had oysters and I could not resist. Very fresh and tasty. My entree was duck a la orange. Perfect medium rare very nice orange with a peppery over taste. Great presentation !

    Visited for brunch. Ordered the salmon salad, the dressing was really good but the salmon only tasted of grilled flavor. Menu says it's $20 but was charged $24 just for a salad. Nice ambience. Would visit again.

  • 5/5 Cliff H. 2 years ago on Google
    I am admittedly not a fan of anything French, however, my experience here was second to none. food and service were excellent, duck, beef short ribs, pasta, oysters, beer selection were all excellent and on par with an international experience. it was about $200 for 3 people including tip and alcohol. food quality was exceptional, service was very good (minus points for odd hair in duck), value was fair, but competitive given that it is in a hotel. would return.

    We celebrated my husband's birthday and when we arrived they had a little sign for his birthday on the table and they also gave him a complimentary dessert... The food is very good, we enjoyed it very much. The atmosphere is a calm and relaxed atmosphere ideal for having a quiet dinner. I recommend this place and without a doubt we will return.

  • 5/5 J G. 4 months ago on Google
    My new favorite brunch spot! We have been in twice now and everything has been exceptional each time. Doesn’t feel overcrowded and the waitstaff is beyond helpful with recommendations and accommodations. We will definitely be back.

  • 5/5 Destini S. 3 years ago on Google
    Whether you’re looking for a healthy option like an omelette or a not so healthy, yet delicious option like pancakes. Cafe Cuvée is definitely where you should go for brunch. I’ve yet to have a meal from here that I didn’t thoroughly enjoy. Also, the service is great here! Never had an bad experience at Cafe Cuvée, and I can’t wait to go back.

  • 4/5 Stephanie D. 4 months ago on Google
    First let me say that the atmosphere is absolutely incredible as well as the service. Our waiter was very attentive and helpful. The drinks were amazing and very reasonably priced. The issue... Going to "French bistro" I did not expect to greeted with 3 chips on a plate with really bad guacamole. Although it has given us the giggles for the past couple days putting a french accent on guacamole this was totally out there. The food was okay, but nothing to rave about. Will I go back? Definitely. Id love to see if this was just an off night for the chef or if this is a place where the drinks and the atmosphere are the name of the game and the only reason for going. Which is also okay.

    My husband and I went for the first time for dinner on a Friday evening and were very pleased! We started with escargot and the smoked salmon for appetizers as you can see in the pictures and they were amazing and the Salmon is a huge dish! We then had Beof Bourguignon and I got the seared scallops. Both were so amazing and flavorful and great portions! For dessert we got the crème Brule and it was good! Our waitress was Denise and she was amazing! We never wanted for anything, she kept our drinks filled and plates were taken and brought quickly. She was very helpful with the suggestions and friendly. The atmosphere was warm and friendly and we loved it. They also practice great Covid practices and we felt safe! We would highly recommend and can't wait to go back and try some other dishes we didn't get! The prices were very fair for the quality and quantity that you get. Great place for a romantic and just friendly dinner! Would also like to go and try their lunch and breakfast menu!
