Decided to take my wife here for her birthday because of the good reviews. Unfortunately, reviews can be misleading.
Very nice and cozy small restaurant. Once we were seated it took the waitress 15mins to show up to our table. Mind you the place was practically empty. She brought us water and left, the next time she came around is when we were asked if we wanted any drinks. My wife and I ordered some drinks and our appetizers. The drinks took a while and we were waiting so long for the appetizers that we started looking online for another restaurant to go to. While I was on the phone with another restaurant, the hostess brought our appetizers. Since the food arrived my wife decided to stay. I told the hostess we were about to leave to another place because of the slow service and lack of attention. She was kind enough to comp the appetizers but the damage was done.
After ordering our entrees with the hostess, we were baffled by how long it took for the food to come, since by this point there were less people in the restaurant than when we arrived. Our waitress didn’t even know we had ordered our food. To make matters worse, the food had good portions but was bland.
Overall, a very bad experience. We will definitely not be returning nor recommending to my colleagues.

The food was very good, but the service left much to be desired. As far as I could tell, our server had three or four tables at most, but somehow she regularly walked by our table without even looking over at us. It took forever for her to come take our initial drink order and my iced tea stayed empty if I didn’t ask for a refill. Our food was brought by other servers, and she didn’t check on how it was for some time after we got it. My wife asked for a glass of wine with her dinner and it took forever to get it. There was just a general slowness and lack of attention throughout the meal. Meanwhile, the table next to us got amazing service from another server. We were going to stay for dessert, but once again we didn’t see our server for an extended period of time and just decided to go elsewhere. At least the food was good, and the atmosphere was inviting. This is why I’m giving three stars instead of one. We might try again someday, and hope we get another server.

An enjoyable quiet little place to have a fine dining experience. The staff is friendly and accommodating.

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.

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.

The food was delicious and the prices were good. We also loved the classy environment! We especially appreciated the friendly and accommodating restaurant and hotel staff for making our Easter brunch special! I appreciate them!

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 :)

The Escargot were as under seasoned as the waitress….. One order came in wrong where the other was tasteless and bland. Salads were partially served with the middle and strangely tasting. Ambience is beautiful, very disappointed with the food quality however.

Wow! Café Cuvée is the reimagined restaurant and our favorite hotel in OKC the Ambassador! The food here is approachable French, and it was absolutely fantastic!! The ambassador sling was a wonderful cocktail to start and the food was extraordinary!!! Service phenomenal and attentive!! Edited to include the fantastic Saturday brunch!! Highly recommend for a night out in Midtown!!

My favorite food is Chicken Crepe. I always got this whenever I visited Cuvee. Today, the crepe was very dry. And, the waitress offered me another delicious Lunch (it's like a ham sandwich - Croc Monsieur).
