Romantic setting for a special occasion. The service was friendly and hospitable. I ordered the lobster tail with noodles and found the noodles very rich; I could only eat a small portion of them. My partner ordered the scallops and although they were very large, they were softer in texture than he prefers. Overall, we had a pleasant New Years Eve dinner and enjoyed the service and the ambience very much. read more

Went here last night to celebrate our first wedding anniversary and we had such an amazing time. Maria was an excellent server; they decorated our table with rose petals and gave us a little bit of champagne to toast with. For our food, we got the escargot and charcuterie board to start and then the filet mignon and duckling for our mains. All of it was excellent! And, yes, can't forget that delicious, hot pretzal bread you get in the bread basket they bring out. We will definitely be coming back here for future special occasions! read more

CuiZine Restaurant - Celebrating first wedding anniversary - Seafood Near Me - Satellite Beach, Florida

We were seated at 7:30PM on Prime Rib night and immediately told "We are out of Prime Rib." FAIL!

Thanks Yelp! My wife and I never would've found this place with you. Tucked away in an unassuming strip mall in Satellite Beach, this restaurant is about half an hour from the main part of Cocoa Beach, where we always stay. But its well worth the drive! Everything from the Warm Octopus Salad to the Porcini encrusted Filet Mignon was just.... perfect. Plus, they not only have a good wine list, but they also have a full bar and actually know how to make a good Manhattan1. The Host at the Front door was so welcoming, and our server was amazing. When at the Beach, we usually eat fish, fish, and more fish. But CuiZine was so good, we may just have to add on a Steak night with them when we are in town. read more

We weren't sure what to expect. It was much more of a fine dining experience than expected... "big city quality" in Satellite Beach. We made reservations for Thanksgiving earlier in the week and grabbed the last slot open for a party of two. We added a third a few hours before the appointed time with no hassle at all. The cocktail menu was very nice. A limoncello martini at the bar while we waited for our table started the evening off right. Later at the table the Smoked Old Fashioned was so beautifully presented, the couple next to us ordered a smoked Manhattan. They had a special menu for the holiday and it was fantastic. There were three appetizers, so of course we had one of each, jumbo shrimp cocktail, escargot, and grilled artichoke hearts. All were perfectly prepared and beautifully presented. For entrees we had the duck, a filet and a boneless ribeye. All were also perfectly prepared and beautifully presented. The duck may have been in the top five I've ever had. Regrettably, it wasn't my entree lol. Dessert did not disappoint either, two bread puddings and a peanut butter cheesecake with homemade grape jelly. All were to die for. The wait staff was impeccable, warm, and engaging. That's often a miss with a great dining experience, but not here. This will become a favorite when in the area from here forward. read more

Where do I start? The only negative thing I can say is finding it in this strip mall was a bit difficult in the dark but honestly, it was THE BEST dining experience I've ever had. Without realizing when I called, this was my second time here. I had come with family a few years ago and enjoyed my meal immensely. This time it was over the top! Called to see if we needed reservations and they said no but they recommend them. It was 8:40 and I made a reservation for 9pm for 2 on a Friday evening. Got there and we were seated at a lovely table for two in the corner. The waitress asked us if we were celebrating and we told her it was our wedding anniversary. We placed our drink order and she explained the specials. The co-owner came over to thank us for coming and before we knew it, he spread rose petals on our table and our waitress brought us complimentary glasses of champagne! How nice is that? The entertainment was a lovely violinist/singer and she was magnificent. Honestly! Who plays and sings Led Zeppelin's Stairway to Heaven on a violin and makes it her own?? Loved it!!! We ordered the filet mignon egg rolls and shrimp cocktail for appetizers - both magnificent! Followed by a wedge salad and a Caesar salad. Entrees consisted of the 16oz boneless rib eye and the 8oz filet both cooked and seasoned perfectly. Dessert consisted of the Trio Creme Brûlée (OMG!) and a Peanut Butter Cheesecake served with a side of homemade grape jelly (sheer genius)! At the end of our meal, the chef/co-owner came out to thank us and introduce himself. Wow! Never before have we had this kind of service or dining experience. If you want a special night out, this is the place!! read more

CuiZine Restaurant - Flourless Pomegranate Chocolate Cake! - Seafood Near Me - Satellite Beach, Florida

I never order steak because we make it better at home then restaurants. This is a very expensive place so come for an anniversary and prepare to pay a lot. The ambiance is pretty much for old people and it could stand to have a little less blah but holy cow is the steak amazing!!!! Mouthwatering deliciousness. The service is great too. Very friendly staff. read more

Very good food. Happy hour is great. A lot of good options for great prices. We sat at the bar and chase and Jeanine were our servers. The were great! Super attentive and gave us great recommendations. Definitely get the coconut baked chicken skewers. I loved the flatbread, but if u don't like goat cheese, I don't recommend it. Great atmosphere. We will definitely be back read more

Well, my apologies must come first as I meant to write the the day after my experience here in order to remember the names of all my excellent servers and bartender.. but I got busy and now I can't remember.. ok so the gentleman bartender -tall white guy, if that helps him get credit- was fabulous. Perfect drinks, and a welcoming host. BRINGS DELICIOUS BACON to snack on as well! Then our server, another tall white man with dark hair, again, sorry.. but he was also the picture of professionalism. We enjoyed all of our food but what has remained and what will keep me coming back was the service. I'll update my review the next time! read more

Bucket list: dinner at Cuizine! After years looking forward to an experience at Cuizine, we finally made it for dinner. PROS: Great food, menu and ambiance. Great cocktails and wine list, and the complimentary bread sticks and thick bacon strips were amazing. Very good to great dinner service. Easy parking, nice location. Great for that "special occasion." CONS: A tad pricey, but not unexpected. Bar lounge service before dinner was terrible, we were one of only two couples. Immediately greeted and shown to a table, then waited 10-15 minutes for our nice friendly waitress to take our drink order (nothing complicated). We also had to ask for water, normally provided within seconds of being seated in most restaurants regardless of status. Waitress promised water then spent another 10-15 minutes chatting with the other couple a few feet away before going to bar for our drinks! Then turns out she was going to make our drinks, not the bartender for some reason. That took another 10 minutes or so as she also chatted with the bartender. Finally got our drinks, but still no water. "Oh, yeah. Your water!" We finally got some water after half an hour. Once we got to the dining room we had a much better and wonderful experience, but not returning anytime soon. Still highly recommended, just be prepared. read more

From the moment we walked through the front doors, we were treated with the finest service! Happy Hour in the lounge, each with a piece of their Signature crispy bacon and very well-priced well drinks, we began our happy ascent into an appy of Lobster MAC and Cheese! Wow, so good! That was followed by the tenderest of Prime Rib and perfectly cooked Chilean Sea Bass (over decadent Risotto). From the Host to the Bartender to our most excellent server, the attentiveness continued to impress! The BEST restaurant and lounge on the Space Coast! Enjoy! (Great Wine Lost too!) read more

We have only just ordered after listening to the longest monologue - insults - one shoe in mouth after another....for 30 minutes. At age 46 my wife was welcomed to the place by Doris with "Grandma's big night out"...and then an apology for "shoe in mouth" and then 10 minutes backtracking.....OMG get me out of here. I asked for a bacon welcome treat offered at the bar the night before. After 10 minutes of explanation of how I can't get the bacon in the dining room - I had to say stop - I don't want bacon. I hate bacon!! I never want bacon again. I wonder if I was the only one curious why the place was almost completely empty. read more

From start to finish everything was fabulous! Fantastic food and service we can not wait to return. read more

Cuizine is the gem of beachside (maybe in Brevard County). The owners are very friendly and they care about their reputation. I have dined at MANY restaurants and there are a couple things I notice about about an exceptional restaurant: consistency and cleanliness. The utensils are ALWAYS polished and clean (I can't stand water spots and soggy food particles in my utensils). The glasses are always polished too. The place is clean and they've done a really great job with the ambiance. You can come in your best attire and also casual, it makes it not so uptight. The bread, the cracker, the apps, the main dish...everything they serve tastes AMAZING. The head chef is consistent with delivering delicious, delightful and unforgettable dishes. The chefs pay close attention to the plating too (all my dishes always look so nice). I can tell the owners care about who they hire too, each server presents themselves in a very professional manner and they know what's on the menu (they can answer your questions instead of running back to the kitchen to ask). Each server we've had is very friendly and they check on you a few minutes after your meal has been served (that's enough time to get a bite or two in and decide whether or not you need anything else). We now go here for all our special occasions and for date nights. We recently purchased a gift certificate for our neighbors (as a Christmas gift) and they told us they've been wanting to try Cuizine out as they've heard (from others too) only good things about this restaurant. We've eaten at most of the beachside restaurants and this, this place is THE BEST. Honestly, beachside is even more desirable because of Cuizine. read more

CuiZine - Satellite Beach - 5 Stars Top 5 BEST!!!!! - Number 2 How do I love thee? Let me count the ways... When I have a great meal, I begin to ask myself "how hard is this?" I mean really...does it only take a creative mind to create something mind-blowing? Does a person just need dedication and motivation? Can a person be trained to provide great food, or does it have to be something innate to make a meal that is memorable? Who really knows why some cooks can turn out awesome meals with limited ingredients, but others can't cook their way out of the proverbial wet paper bag with the freshest ingredients and the best kitchen set up? I, for one, can't answer that question. What I do know is the chef at CuiZine is a maestro conducting a concerto, with every single item on the menu a cadenza inside that concerto. Because CuiZine is a genius at the execution and presentation of their food, they officially enter the Big Boy Dining Out Top 5 list at number two. It was close, and will be a neck and neck battle for number one over the next year. The first thing I want to mention about my experience is the server, David. It is so pleasurable to have wait staff who give the appearance that they enjoy their work and bring a positive energy to the service. David was effective and impressive in the depth and breadth of his knowledge of the menu. He should give a master class on the professionalism of restaurant service, he's that good. While awesome service won't make a bad meal great, it will make a splendid meal perfect - and David accomplished that feat singlehandedly. The meal started with a 12-year aged Macallan neat. If you have ever been curious about scotch, Macallan is the best of the best. Their 25-year vintage sells for over $1,500.00 a bottle, and I can state unequivocally that you can taste the difference between them. For the first course of my meal, I ordered the Hudson Valley Foie Gras, which is always a standard for me if it is offered at a restaurant. I have had the Foie here no less than five times, and I can state that it is the indisputable best in Brevard. My second course was the beef bone marrow. You need to enlarge the photo so you can see how perfectly executed this offering was, as words cannot describe its perfection. The third course was gnocchi with Italian sausage and broccoli rabe, which sat on a bed of creamy garlic sauce. These gnocchi were executed in a masterly fashion, so much so that I could have consumed three bowls' worth. The main course was hogfish in a Guinness and squid ink batter. These were quick fried for a spot-on redoubtable presentation. They were accompanied by sweet potato fries and a tomato salad, both of which were indubitably executed. CuiZine sits comfortably in the number two spot on the BBDO Best-Of list. Try it yourself - I guarantee you will be happy you went! read more

I walked in and was immediately told I couldn't wear a hat. I was told it was to informal so I obliged and sat down. Then about 20 mins into our dinner another guest gets up and walks across the restaurant with a cigarette in his mouth. How is that not informal. read more

Food and service were top notch. Escargot best in the area and steaks are very high quality. Server was an expert at his craft.

Really a fantastic, perfect date night, special occasion establishment. Ask for John, great server!! We started with the Octopus (amazing dish, can't wait to order again) and the steamed buns with pork belly (as close to living back in Hawaii as you'll get) had a couple of potent Martini's and then to one heck of a dinner. I had the Parmesan Veal chop and my husband had the Osso Bucco. So many entrees to choose from! Trio of crime brûlée finished it off. read more

- [ ] Tonight I visited Cuizine Restaurant and Lounge. I usually enjoy these types of "high end" restaurants, especially when I am celebrating something that's important to me. I am from NYC so I am used to these restaurants and their specialties. I am going to give saltbae's restaurant as an example as it's very well known in NYC and social media. Like I said, I am born and raised in NYC and have been exposed to many high end restaurants in downtown. In restaurants like Saltbae's I've left with bills equating to over $600 - $800 for FOUR people and it's been worth it. The flavors are amazing. I know what fine dining is like and I know what it's worth as I have traveled all over the globe and have had splendid fine dining experiences. The food at this restaurant was good, just like the normal NYC scene (not the really fancy ones, just the basic). Can not complain about food, it was good, just the fact that the "specialty" which was a rib eye for me and my partner to share had a lot of fat, so we had to cut off a lot of the parts in order to enjoy them meat. After the bill was paid and I waited for my partner to finish up in the bathroom, the "owner & chef" came up to me to ask how everything tasted. I answered truthfully and stated that everything was good and said thank you. He then continued on by stating that the I left only 7% tip. The bill was $401 and I left a $35 tip. I think that's more than enough for a restaurant that is in Melbourne,Florida. It's not even about the location, it's the fact that it was just BASIC. Like I've stated I've been to a lot of places all over the United States and also outside the country. I asked the server for one scoop of vanilla ice cream on my chocolate cake and he said "could we make it two scoops?, that way it'll be enough for both of you" and I said "Yes sure, two would be fine" and NO ICE CREAM WAS SERVED ON THE DESERT LOL. I didn't care, as long as it wasn't on my bill, I'm fine lol.The food was good but not exceptional. They knew we were celebrating a birthday and no exclusivity was even offered like most restaurants usually do in New York City. Again I am from New York City, the best city in the nation so sorry that I keep comparing, however the restaurants here are very exclusive so I love to compare. You're telling me that $35 is not enough for a server that you should be supporting financially yourself? You're the chef & owner and you are not offering your employees who have to learn the menu top to bottom, a better pay? He says to me "Our severs live off of tips". Are you serious? You're this high end wannabe restaurant and you're not even taking care of the people who work for you and try to make your restaurant stand out? I feel bad for the server as he also mentioned he's from NYC, but even as my partner was waiting for the bathroom, they ignored him after he saw the tip that was left for him which is fucked up.I have already been warned by my partner that the owner is very responsive on these apps lol. I do not really care about his response because at the end of the day I already went and will NOT be going back. There are better places and I'll leave some options down below for you to try. Please take this review into consideration and do not go here, not matter how persuasive the owner may seem through the comments. He has a big ego lmao. Trust me. He really made me feel like I was a rat or something.I have been to plenty of restaurants post pandemic in Las Vegas, Atlantic City , Dominican Republic etc. and not even in gordon Ramsey's restaurants have I ever been this humiliated over a tip that I left for a waiter. Everyone has always been very appreciative. The chef's responses are full of bull s&^%*, do not believe him and go somewhere else while visiting Melbourne,Florida. Not top of that, the restaurant was very loud, I did nit feel like I was in a exclusive 5 star restaurant like it was described on Google. LIKE I SAID, DISREGARD THE OWNERS COMMENT'S LOL, HE JUST WANTS PEOPLE TO KEEP GOING, HE'S FAKING IT TRYING TO MAKE IT. NOT COOL! Please read the negative reviews, they ARE REAL. - [ ] Restaurants to Visit: - [ ] -Crush XI (GO HERE GUYS :) You won't regret it - [ ] -Chart House (I Know lol, the restaurants are all over, but it's worth it) - [ ] -Ember & Oak read more

Food is ok, but very expensive..nice restaurant, very be elegant, but expensive for what you get. I can can get the same at cheaper places..

Not impressed by all the hype here. Ambiance is great and servers are excellent which is only reason I'm giving them 4 stars. The Hudson Valley A+ foie gras was very sad!! I love foie gras and have tasted it in many restaurants here in the US and in France and have never been so disappointed! They tried to do something with fig and "toast points" but it is literally a chunk of half-pink liver on a softly toasted THIN slice of bread with fig pieces and some type of purée. Sorry but that is NOT foie gras. I would have been happy to just have some bread slices and cold foie gras!! This was the oddest presentation I have ever seen. I could tell that it was definitely high quality liver but the presentation was so odd and weird (and such a seriously small portion) for $20 do not waste your money on this appetizer! For second course we had the gazpacho soup, which was delicious and I would highly recommend if you enjoy gazpacho. We ordered wine and they had a decent selection but apparently if you order it by name, the server doesn't know and they have to look at the menu to check the bin #. You could just do your server a favor and just say Bin # whatever instead of telling them the name of the wine. A bit odd but I don't expect my server to know bin number of every wine lol but they should be at least familiar with the names of the wine. Our server had to look at the menu, then I had to tell him where the wine I ordered was located on the menu so he could find the bin #. Strange. For entrees I had the Baked Chilean Sea Bass and my boyfriend had the Parmesan Crusted Veal. Once again, I was disappointed. The Sea Bass was a Pearce portion, not the freshest (I could actually smell it a bit), and although it was cooked perfectly, it didn't have much flavor. The saffron champagne reduction was fine but honestly taste like any other burre blanc. And the sauce was all over the plate and none on the fish. The sea bass sat on top of a large serving of "risotto" which was over cooked slightly and had small pieces of asparagus, which tasted fine. I wish they had put more thought into including the saffron with the sea bass rather than having a seriously bland fish with mild sauce and boring risotto. The whole plate was shades of white and cream and that bothered me simply because it was so colorless. My boyfriend had the Parmesan Crusted Veal and shared some with me. I was jealous of all his flavors or rosemary and delicious cheese! After tasting my plain fish his was a big happy change of flavors. It was so juicy and succulent, I immediately wished his food was mine lol! We drank our wine and cucumber water which was good too, and enjoyed each other's company. For dessert we each had an espresso martini which was delicious. Our bill was $180 and for the meal we ate, I didn't think it was worth it! Awful foie gras and bland fish. If you come here just get some wine and gazpacho and you won't be disappointed. read more

I give him kudos for days!!! read more

When I asked if their beef was prime, our Waitress responded that it was "Angus." I specifically asked if the beef was PRIME and she again said "Angus"... she didn't seem to know the word "prime" and couldn't explain where their beef fell in the standard hierarchy scale of "select, choice or prime. First off, "Angus" is a breed AND a new marketing word that can be quite confusing to the consumer to think it's "better" than any other cut. It can also be used in the terms: "certified angus brand," "certified angus prime" or just plain "angus" which really means one grade below prime. For $39, I would expect prime. Ulysses Steak House in Cocoa Village serves prime filers and charges $39 also, so I was expecting same pricing. Only a few restaurants in the city serve real prime beef; Ulysses Steak House in Cocoa Village and Chefs Table in Suntree,and Djons. "Certified Angus Beef Brand Prime" is how they describe their beef at Chefs Table on their menu. So you can see how the word "angus" can be confusing! My husband ordered the filet. He found the béarnaise sauce very vinegary. The filet was way smaller than 8 oz, but cooked properly. I ordered the carbonara and it was not like the other creamy types I've had in other Italian restaurants. I found it to be very "gluey" in texture. But it's just my opinion and preference.... it was cooked to a traditional way and nothing was wrong with it, just not what I was expecting. Their menu offers a nice variety of offerings and you can tell the owner and chef takes great pride in his restaurant. The charcuterie plate was amazing and almost a meal itself... better for 4 people as an appetizer. The mushroom pate is not to be missed!! It is amazing! The breadsticks are fresh, crispy and unique. I hope the restaurant thrives and continues to prosper. The area it's at beachside is convenient (in the old Dove) restaurant . It's one of the better offerings beachside. Check it out! read more

Some friends of our recommended Cuizine so we made a last minute change to our dinner plans and went there last night. The Yelp reviews were over there top so we were excited for a great meal. Unfortunately, the food did not meet our expectations. Pros. Very attentive wait staff...maybe a little too attentive. Atmosphere was nice. I ordered a martini with blue cheese stuffed olives and the drink was very good. Cons. My wife had the crab cake dinner which was below average. The texture was more of a meatloaf then lump crab meat. I had the sea bass which was good but portion was small and I was left wanting for more. I would give this place a solid three stars but it didn't have the wow factor to rate higher. Good but not great. read more

Ten minutes later our server stopped by to let us know that his bourbon of choice was back on the shelf again; they'd run out to get it! read more
