Cuvee

By Kelly Ranasinghe

Cuvee is a discovery… a serendipitous meeting in the midst of springtime. Nestled in the sun-soaked hills of western La Jolla, and guarded by white terraces and spring flowers so reminiscent of Southern France, Cuvee is as much a happy accident, as a restaurant of caliber.

From the grace and friendly charm of Cuvee’s staff, so tactfully demonstrated to this inelegant writer by a young Stacy, to it’s eighty-vintage strong wine list, Cuvee shelters it’s parishioners from society by inviting them to dine in an earth-bound cloud of hospitality, taste, and intimacy.

Cuvee’s menu is unlike the common place three or four page culinary milieu. On a single page, Cuvee’s menu is elegantly brief…ranging from several aperitifs (consider an Arugula Salad), to more complete entrees (For example, Duck Breast and Grilled Sausage on White Beans)..
