This is a nice small family owned restaurant. Service is professionally, casual, and very friendly. Do not even attempt to go without a reservation as there are not a lot of tables and they fill up quickly. Had the garlic shrimp appetizer, and also the escargot. Both were quite nice while the regular menu is quite diverse. We both decided on specials at the veal Oso Buco, and also the elk loin. Both were absolutely incredible. For dessert, we decided to share a crème brûlée. The only downside is they don't have coffee, only espresso. Definitely will be back as I'm not sure what more they could do to make the evening more enjoyable read more

The best restaurant in Hernando County. I have been a customer there for over twenty years and have never been disappointed. Try the Rack of Lamb, you won't regret it. read more

Nouvelle Cuisine - French Near Me - Spring Hill, Florida

We had a nice experience here. The food was truly impressive--perfectly prepared, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. While the pricing is on the upscale side, it felt right in line with the quality and absolutely worth it. Service was professional and attentive. The restaurant itself is small and charming, which adds to its appeal, but it also means reservations are a must since there's really no space for walk-ins. If there's one area that could be improved, it's the ambiance--it was pleasant but didn't quite capture the same feel as the food and service. I would definitely come back. The food alone makes it worth the visit. read more

Very cozy atmosphere with attentive staff and impeccably delicious food! I have teams about the potato dish!

I have lived in Dade City for 15 years and never heard of this restaurant until recently. My neighbor said it was really good and worth the upscale price. I have to agree. We had a lovely bottle of wine. The appetizer, the entree' and the dessert were all great. I had left overs, so enjoyed the wonderful taste for another day. The staff was warm and friendly. The owner comes to your table to tell you about the food that is expertly cooked and to take your order. The staff is professional, courteous and attentive. One person wrote it was like being in an European restaurant. I have to agree. It's warm and homey. We will certainly be back. Reservations are a must. read more

The food is very well prepared and beautifully presented. I usually choose the lamb. The menu options make you feel like you are in France. Nice wine selection. The ambiance is marked by low light, low noise level, and a sense of privacy. You won't be rushed - they aren't trying to achieve a 45 minute turnaround time per table here; they give you time to savor your wine and food. Yes, it's expensive but the value is there, unlike some restaurants that are simply high-priced. I hope to be there next week to celebrate a birthday. Reservations are a must. read more

What an amazing little jewel hidden in Spring Hill. We were really amazed. This charming little bistro truly surprised us. My wife and I weren't dressed to go out but we were hungry. Even though we looked like bums the staff welcomed us in and provided very good service. We were totally bummed that they didn't have the elk but the rack of lamb and veal chop did not disappoint. Unfortunately we were too full for dessert so we must go back. Prices are steep but the food is worth it. read more

Nouvelle Cuisine - Menu - French Near Me - Spring Hill, Florida

I have be.en wanting to try this place for a long time having lived here almost 10 years. So we decided to go on our 29th anniversary. I knew it was a fine dining place so I was not shocked by the prices on the menu. We went on a Friday night and the place was moderately busy. We had reservations but we waited patiently by the door of this small place in a strip mall for 5 minutes before we were even acknowledged. (Not exactly friendly) I am accustomed to getting my drink order fairly promptly but it was not so in this case. After about a 10 minute wait, the drink order was taken, they brought us the smallest portion of bread I've ever seen in my life in any restaurant and our drinks. What a shocker to see 1/2 of a 6 oz wine glass with a price tag of $14 when the online menu clearly stated the price as $10 which is gouging enough. My husband had a $9 Stella beer. Gaah.. Is this RayJay?? The owner was evidently the only server in the place. She spent a lot of time with patrons who I assume were familiar regulars since we arrived before them and waited about 15 minutes before she came to our table after chatting them up for a ridiculously long time. Finally arriving at our table she proceeded to recite the specials of the day ..all meat.. before We had a chance to tell her we were pescatarians. I felt like one of many cattle rolling through in this "haute cuisine" strip mall place. We ordered our vegan/ pescataian entres and the iceberg lettuce ( sigh) salad and soup de jour arrived tout suite. However, our meals took one hour (I'm not exaggerating) before they arrived. I think the chef is working alone since the time factor wait was uncomfortably awkwardly long. Perhaps they need to hire a line cook. (?) This is not exactly New York City, is it? The redeeming factor to be had of this whole dining experience was that our dinners were delicious and the plate presentation was impeccable. I despise being gouged financially for a drink and no one I know likes to wait an hour listening to opera music in shitty Spring Hill while waiting for dinner. It's obscene. Personally, I think these people are making a fortune because their hours are only five to nine and the place is ridiculously small. You will need to take a out a small loan if you really intend to eat gourmet liberally and enjoy a dessert and have a decent drink or two. It's kind of offensive for this redneck town. All in all, as Shania Twain would say/ sing "This don't impress me much." read more

Some of the best food in town. If you love authentic French food from scratch, this is the place to go.

Great restaurant, Friendly, it has the most beautiful atmosphere, the food was amazing. I will be going back.

It was like being in a little town in Europe, the Alps or France perhaps. The staff were superb and friendly. Ambiance warm and welcoming. The menu was excellent and exciting & we found the food excellent. read more

Anyone that knows me is fully aware that I adore small restaurants with amazing food and Nouvelle Cuisine is exactly that! Tucked away in a small shopping center in Spring Hill this little place takes you by surprise. When you walk in you are warmed by the charming atmosphere, and graciousness of the one of the owners Isabelle, who is full of life as she welcomes you in. She takes her time with each table sharing her knowledge of the menu, and patiently explaining the options to her guests. The menu is small but packed full of flavorful options from Rack of lamb, mussels, duck, elk, filet mignon, and a wide selection of fish dishes. We started off with one of the cheese boards and it was perfect! Isabelle will also help you with choosing one of her delightful wines to pair with your meal or navigate their European beer list to find just the right fit for your meal. There is something for everyone here. This is a place you can come in, sit back, and Enjoy great food, great wine, and relax with people you love most. Don't skip this place when you're in the area! read more

great food and service; like a visit to europe close to home! Highly recommend as this is a favorite!

Great place to grab a filet mignon and some of those lovely potatoes that make my mouth water just thinking of them. They always have cool specials and the food is incredible. We've never had a disappointing meal at Nouvelle Cuisine and feel very fortunate to have this gem of a restaurant just a few miles from our home. Love the ambiance and service! read more

The reception, the ambiance and the service was as usual a 5 stars. I had the frogs legs as an appetizer, and carrot soup which were excellent. My husband and I ordered the rack of lamb, which we always do when we dine at Nouvelle Cuisine, and it has always been excellent in taste and tendernessl. Unfortunately we were very dissappointed last night. The lamb was very tough and hard to cut with a knife and hard to chew. The sauces were excellent, and the rest of the meal also. My fault, I really should have returned it and ordered something else. This was our first bad experience with the rack of lamb at NC. read more

This is our favorite fine dining place in the area. The atmosphere is perfect for a date night. Isabelle and the staff are always warm and welcoming. The beer and wine menu is excellent. There are several delicious appetizer options. The French onion soup is awesome. The specials are usually hard to pass up. My favorite meal so far has been the elk. My fiancé got the lobster tail the other night and loved it. They haven't served us anything we haven't enjoyed. For dessert, we love the crème brûlée. If you live in or around Hernando County and you haven't been here yet, plan your next night out at Nouvelle Cuisine and you won't be disappointed. read more

Took my girlfriend here for Christmas dinner before I headed to work and I must say it was an excellent experience. The service and ambiance was great. The owner and server were very attentive and explained everything we had questions about and even explained each cheese on the cheese board. The elk was by far one of the most tasty and tender pieces of meat I have ever had and the filet was amazing. Dessert was amazing. The molten lava cake was cooked perfectly and the chocolate ran out when we cut into it. Would definitely recommend and will be back read more

Our favorite spot in Spring Hill. Family owner and their food is unbelievable! Your main course comes with the best potatoes you'll ever have, as well as a vegetable.

horrible food-half raw duck , on menu as duck breast , served as half raw medallions of duck - When I told Owner I didn't like it it was undercooked , she said I don't know what you want me to do??? Then she said I could cook it more, but that's the way it is supposed to be??she took it back, returned in 2 minutes , Still totally red , I could not even chew it, It tasted raw . Duck I have had previously nicely browned & actually Cooked. Only reason I did not walk out without paying is because I took someone there for Birthday & did not want to ruin their Birthday . Owner rude & could care less about Customer .it was disgusting . You can see the duck glistening with rawness in the picture . read more

Food, service, everything was great! Ordered the Elk, it was very good! Owner is awesome along with the staff!

We had visitor's from Ca. and made a reservation for Feb.15. for a party of five. They looked forward to the restaurant, have been told about the fine food and service. Two of us ordered the carrot soup, to salty and both of us could not enjoy it. One party had Salomon, ask for it well done, but it was decently undercooked. Potatoes and vegetables very tasty. The server did not ask about the uneaten soup or Salmon. Very unusual for this fine restaurant. I think it was a busy night, the staff had to much on there plate. read more

This was my second visit to this restaurant. This is a great restaurant in an unexpected location. When you walk in it's as if you left Spring Hill behind and walked into a restaurant in Europe. Services is attentive, patient and kind, especially for a friend's young daughter having her first fine dining experience. The food gets 5 stars plus. It's all about the sauces. This food is prepared from scratch and it's evident in every bite. read more

To my surprise (location), this was by far the best and most expensive food I have eaten in a long time. That includes many countries. We had the Chateaubriand (only for 2, no single portion). It was extraordinary! I don't know how much the Chateaubriand costs;(TBD costs -to be determined?). My friends had Elk, Filet Mignonon. The price is over $500. Now, the not-so-great stuff. The Chef's Wife, both from Belgium, was taken care of, and she is pushy and argumentative. I tried to order a Panaché in many countries called this way, or Radler in Germany, Bicicletta in Italy, or Shandy beer elsewhere. Light beer with Sprite or Lemonade half and half. It's not that she didn't know what it was and started arguing that she had never heard of it and it didn't exist. I just told her to bring me a regular beer with Sprite. I mix it myself. She wanted to try it and hated it. OK, it's no big deal. But then she pushed some disgusting peach beer and some other fruity beer on me. I relented, tried it, and felt like her, hated it. Was this the end? No, she continued to argue that Radler didn't exist at the Oktoberfest in Munich. I'm from Switzerland and went to Oktoberfest every year for over 15 years before immigrating to the US. So, I didn't enjoy that part at all. It's the only reason I gave them four instead of five stars. read more

Amazing!!!!! Everything about this place is absolutely perfect. I cannot express enough how great this place is. Staff is pleasant and wonderful and very personable. The menu is plentiful, food choices are unique and delicious. I want to come every week just to try everything on their menu. They have Salmon with their style of sauces, Elk which she said is better than filet mignon, (wish I would've tried it, but wouldn't change a thing for my meal). The only thing I wish it had was a kids menu. I ordered Cabernet Wine with the filet mignon with goat cheese, my daughter ordered shrimp in garlic sauce, my son ordered whitefish with Dijon mustard, and my husband ordered rabbit with plum reduction as their special. All of us couldn't have asked for better. Absolutely amazed and impressed. We will most definitely be back. read more
