"New Years Trip. Had an excellent time here. Highly Recommend if you are in the Area Deserts are fantastic also. My bill was high but Drinks were flowing."

"The ambiance is definitely on the nicer side, where the decor looks elegant, warm, and welcoming. The staff and service were also very nice and speedy! The corn chowder special was tasty but felt a bit lacking where, as you can see in the photo, is only half full. The mussel special on Tuesdays was also a bit small for its price, where we counted around 15-16 pieces for 21 dollars, averaging a dollar and change per piece. The sauce that accompanied the mussel was on the sour side, which I personally would like it to be more garlicky or buttery than sour. The prickly pear yuzu drink was my personal favorite and I highly recommend it! The bolognese ricotta pasta was so incredibly flavorful that I literally couldn't stop eating it...even though it is my wife who ordered it haha. Our server, Briella, was so sweet, kind, and friendly that she literally made our dining experience so much more enjoyable! Our ribeye steak had some issues where it was first over cooked to well-done when we asked for medium-rare. Briella apologized and did her best to remedy it by requesting another one be made. However, the second one came out overly rare and Briella once again apologized profusely, which showed us that she really cared that we got what we requested. She never once argued with us or tried to persuade us that we were wrong, nor was she ever defensive about it; truly illustrating what customer-oriented service really looks like. Ultimately they were able to remedy it and the ribeye came out delicious with its herbed aioli! We want to take this moment to thank Briella for her diligence, care, and consideration in making our meal as perfect as it can be! Thank you, Briella, for being such an amazing server and for demonstrating what exemplary service looks like! We will definitely come back to try their many other delicious looking options! Definitely highly recommend the prickly pear yuzu soda and the bolognese! Thank you so much for reading and best of luck! (:"

"This venue is charming, and immaculate with high quality food and service! Our waitperson JoJo was attentive, enthusiastic, efficient and friendly. Our food was absolutely delicious. The fresh, homemade bread was out of this world as was the fine dipping olive oil. The main courses we enjoyed were creative and cooked to perfection. Dessert was amazing. See photos below. Highly recommend! Will definitely return again and again."

"Strings of hanging fiesta lights draw one's attention to the big yellow house with an ample front porch. If you are lucky enough to have a reservation, you are in for a treat- "from soup to nuts". The basil cooler cocktail caught my eye for starters. It did take 20 minutes for our drinks to arrive, one at a time, which was an unfortunate way to start our evening. Our server Sean, was attentive and apologetic but the bar was swamped, as he said. Diners know that if one is promptly served a cocktail and a piece of bread, waiting is no longer an issue. Our meal was absolutely worth the wait! The risotto with lobster, scallops and saffron was perfectly prepared with all the care and attention it takes for a proper risotto. The delicate flavors lingered on my tongue long enough to make me smile! All the dishes were of the same caliber, with another special mention - of the affogato desert - on a plate with the words "Happy Anniversary" written in script with fudge sauce around the border! Thank you to all the staff at Cucina for a lovely evening!"
