Cheuvront

Unfortunately, they are out of business. Looks like they closed their doors only a few days ago. I have eaten there twice and it was very good. Don;t know why they closed but they had a Thank You banner posted for their customers.
Too bad.

I’m not sure if there is any utility in writing a review for this place since this location is closing down in one week, but here goes!
I came here for Restaurant Week and had a 3-​course meal. For the first course I had a Truffle Mushroom Empanada which was basically a puff pastry stuffed with sauteed mushrooms and Comte cheese. I felt like it was a little dry and could’ve used a lot more cheese inside. The second course was Steak Au Poivre with french fries. The steak was good, not excellent. It was a little tough and chewy, which was especially noticeable because they never gave us steak knives and we had to use our butter knives to try and saw through the meat. The french fries were a big disappointment. I think they were just the frozen crinkly fries you can buy at the store — they reminded me of the fries they used to serve at lunch in the school cafeteria. The best part of the meal was the third course, a chocolate bouchon with vanilla icecream. The chocolate bouchon/​cake was delicious, moist, and rich.
Service was great and my friends who ordered the wine pairings with their meals seemed to enjoy it. Prices for cocktails seemed a little steep ($ 12 for a martini), but don’t take my word for it because I’m not a big alcohol drinker. I do like the atmosphere of the place and the fact that they use open table for you to make reservations, so convenient. I was sad to see this place go because it is one of very few restaurants within walking distance of my home, but after actually sampling the food, I’m thinking I won’t be missing out on much when it leaves…

This is a great place to eat and drink wine. The food is delicious and the service is always wonderful. I have been here several times and I love it. The cheeses are spectacular and I am not even the biggest cheese fan. The desserts are great too.

Cheuvront is a perfect date night place.
My cute guy set up a reservation for a Thursday night out. We arrived a little early after he realized Cheuvront would close at 2100. We wanted to be sure to he our cheese and wine fix to the maximum.
I was impressed at the extensive cheese list. I lived in France for two years & this compares very well to a fromagerie in France with all the different cheeses. The staff is all quite nice and knowledgable on the menu of cheeses and wines to pair with. We selected three cheeses and asked to pair with the suggested wines. I was very impressed. The cheese plate is paired with fruits and a scatter of almonds to cleanse the palate between cheeses. My boyfriend ordered the risotto for his entrée and he was asked if he wanted salmon or chicken … It wasn’t a small amount of salmon as one would expect
, but a quite moderate piece of salmon filet. I had the Cheuvront chicken served with polenta. Rarely do I finish my entire entrée, but this meal was heaven in my mouth. For dessert we shared a piece of hazelnut torte and champagne. Perfect date night and worth the extra workout. The staff is wonderful and the ambience is romantic. The only two things would change is a later closing …& not to serve dinner while the cheese course is being savoured. But because the meal and experience of Thursday night date night was so amazing … Still earns a 5 …& my date, spot on, is a 10 for making this such a great night :)

Went here for the wine tasting. Absolutely love this place. The décor is upscale and the ambiance is quite and cozy. Great place for a romantic dinner… hint hint for Valentines day. A reservation is a must for special occasion days.
The wine tasting was sectioned off from the rest of the restaurant but the service was still exceptional. Got to sample 5 wines and a tapas for $ 15. They offer their regular menu during the tasting also. I tried the fig and Brie bruschetta. A great sweet paring for the French wines. I also had a prosciutto and Gouda topped with onions and capers a great pairing for savory wines. The table I sat with also had a ham and gruyère grilled sandwich which was fabulously amazing.
The food was just as great as the service given by Stephano. He was always there to fill the water glass, take an order for food, and just to make sure everyone was ok always with a pleasant smile and he kept great eye contact. One of the best servers I have encountered in a long time.
Overall I would recommend this place for both fine dining and for their wine tastings which they do on a regular bases, approximately every 2 weeks. I also hear rumors that they also have a cheese tasting. I can’t wait to find out if its true.

So my wife and I are HUGE fans of Cheuvront and the tastings they hold there several times a month. We’ve done Spanish Cheese tastings, Italian Wine tastings and everything in between and always have a great time! This past weekend was the port tasting and what a great event. I learned a TON about port that I didn’t know and got to try several ports that I’d never had. The tastings are typically $ 15 and include a small plate (or in this case, delicious of pizza). Do yourself a favor and go check out Todd, Jeff and the gang and get on the email list for their tastings. it’s always a great time!

$ 5 martinis and $ 5 manicures on Mondays!!!
The manicurist teaches at a school, so — needless to say — the manicure was great.
The drinks were good. The bartender stayed on top of us, but also out of our way.
The atmosphere is just lovely — chill/​quiet — and the staff (including the perfectly charming (and handsome!) Owner) were really pleasant to be around.
I think Cheuvront may be losing some of its steam to the newer restaurants downtown and, granted, I’ve yet to try this out for dinner and wine, but it’s really a very lovely place and I’d really like to see this neighborhood staple thrive!

We visited on a Friday afternoon and caught the tail end of happy hour. Also catching some tail was some guy who came in with a young lady who was clearly an escort. I was upset that our seating only allowed us to see, but not hear, the — team (?) — interacting. We didn’t ask to be moved by the rookie john and his «friend» so I didn’t hold this against them.
Our server could have offered though.
We ordered a three cheese plate, mango mojito, and prickly pear margarita. The cheese was good (as others have posted) but the drinks were small and rather bland. The ambiance is nice and, for a Friday happy hour, I can definitely see why a guy who pays women for companionship thought this place would seal the proverbial deal. I suspect the $ 500 cash he left in the envelope on her seat when he picked her up was her real motivation, but props to him for trying to keep his game fresh.
In all, if you are on the light rail after work, Cheuvront is worth stopping by.

I really want to love Cheuvront. It’s close to work and I like the atmosphere here. I also really like the choice of wines they offer and they always have great wine tasting events going on. I just get the vibe that everyone takes themself WAY too seriously. It’s nothing that is blatant because the service is efficient and friendly enough but it’s just a feeling that I get, perhaps a slight upturning of the nose or that, the customer should be thankful that they get to be here.
I’m always preoccupied with attitude so maybe it’s just me but I always have that «am I welcome here?» kind of feeling when I come here. Of course if I’m spending $$ here than the answer is obviously yes… still…have to have more of a think on this.
By all means worth checking out, you’ll probably feel a different vibe than me.

Did a HH here. Sat on a long plushy, comfy couch with my babes.
I ask for a Dogfish Head 90. $ 3.75. This is a 94 point draft brew poured into a shaker glass. Nice Copper color with a suddy, head that dies to a one finger lace around the glass. The hops hit like a ton of bricks, but with a slightly sweet malty character. Loud but many consider this beer perhaps to be the best IPA in America. I believe this is the best price I have ever seen this beer in a bar.
My gal loves margaritas and so she enjoyed her prickly pear margarita $ 5. Says it was excellent. Prickly pear cactus has been a staple food of Native Americans for many centuries. It is believed the prickly pear margarita goes back to the 1800 in Colorado from traders that came up from New Mexico bearing syrup made from prickly pear .
Ordered up the happy hour phyllo pockets which are warm savory pastries made of phyllo dough with a soft goat cheese inside. $ 5. These flaky pastries were served with a drizzle of pesto and honey balsamic reduction.
They have a few accolades under their belt including best wine and cheese. Their cheese experience is a must. A wine list that offers interesting selections and their filet mignon one of the best steaks in the Valley. The entire menu is reasonably priced.

I found this place whilst trying to find good mac and cheese places on Unilocal.I’ll be honest, I love my wine and I love my cheese. Bonus points if its melted over mac.
And they do great mac and cheese. Some better than others– my favorite so far has actually been the spinach and pesto. If you want the chorizo, I say pass. The spinach or the bacon is much better. If you’re into bleu cheese, the bleu cheese mac is VERY bleu. Take that for what it’s worth.
That’s not all they do either. Their entrees are consistently great. My boyfriend got some scallops that were incredible, though I don’t think it’s on their menu now.
Their wines are great too. I’ll be honest, I’m no connoisseur, but they had a moscato from Israel that the bf still drools over. It’s enough that the next time I was there I picked up a whole bottle, just for him. I’ve also had one of their mojitos and that was great as well.
As a note– if you’re in for happy hour and get a cheese plate… I really do think its better to splurge and get a regular cheese plate. I got a happy hour cheese plate, and it’s… miniscule. All of the stuff that made their non happy hour cheese plate awesome was diminished. 1 cheese instead of 3. No boursin. Fewer crackers. Less of that fantastic orange blossom honey and apples. You get my drift.
Definitely a must try. Service is great and attentive, and it’s always been nice and quiet when I went in.

I’ve been here a number of times and the food is always good. They have a fantastic selection of cheese and it’s a great place to try boutique cheeses.
The current rating is due to the service we received last night. The hostess was very friendly but our waitress was sorely lacking. After our food arrived and two in our party still needed silverware, we informed her and she never returned with silverware. We ended up stealing it from a neighboring table. She made a bleak attempt at humor telling us that one of the cheeses was a water-​based calorie-​free cheese when we’re pretty sure it’s a triple cream. If she’d had an iota of personality, the joke might have flown. But, it fell flat and left us confused wondering if we’d really just ordered calorie free cheese.
We enjoyed our evening anyway. The service could just use a little work.

So. Good.
My BFF & I go here frequently. The patio is great when the weather suits, and the inside tables are great when it doesnt.
Their happy hour menu is awesome. Select dishes/​drinks for $ 5 a piece.
I havent had a bad item here. From the flatbreads to the bruschetta (the fig and brie is my fave), to the vodka scallops (served in a martini glass) and cheese plates. And oh the cheese, the cheese!
Oh and did I mention their mac and cheese menu? Cuz its bomb. Even reheated, bomb.
Weve never had a bad server here. Even though their attire suggests otherwise, theyre very casual and oh so very nice.
Go here.

I simply cannot get over how much I have fallen in love with this place. I have lived in CenPho for several years now and have only just tried Cheuvront in the last four months or so. I mistakenly assumed it was a pretentious wine restaurant but truthfully, it is far from it.
My first foray was at a Sunday Italian cheese tasting they held over the summer. Around $ 15-​$ 18, you sampled pre-​selected cheeses and had the option of ordering a wine flight with it or anything else to drink. You could also order other food. The tastings began at 3pm, and the best part was the restaurant officially opened at 4pm which began their 4−6pm daily happy hour. Yes, DAILY. Great HH selection, too, between the drinks and food. I am a fan of the one cheese plate for $ 5, margherita flatbread ($ 6, I think) and their goat cheese phyllo pockets with a balsamic sauce. God, those are to die for. On the dinner menu, we also tried a bleu cheese mac and cheese that was delicious.
Since the first cheese tasting, I have been to an American cheese tasting, and most recently a Spanish cheese tasting. It was at the American cheese tasting that I discovered a favorite goat cheese with the consistency of a parmesan. Cheuvront sells their cheeses for about $ 1.50 an ounce which is very reasonable. I also had a fantastic red sangria that I had to stop at 2 for. So good.
The service is great, friendly, laid back and approachable. That is how I would describe Cheuvront, overall, too. Check out their website where they have a calendar with their tasting events.

As I mentioned before, I am very stingy when it comes to giving five star reviews. An experience has to be pretty mind blowing for me to do so. That being said, my experience at Cheuvront tonight was definitely worthy.
Our server, Drew, was absolutely wonderful. He was friendly, charming, and not hard to look at. He made us laugh and made sure our meal was perfection. He provided some of the best service I have received period, which is a lot to say because I go out to eat frequently. I will definitely be returning and bringing my friends and requesting him.
The food was just as great as the service. We went for restaurant week, so we each did the $ 30 dealio that comes with three courses. I did the poached pear salad, salmon, and the peach cheesecake. We also decided to try their mac and cheese because we had heard good things about it. The mac and cheese (we got the pesto and spinach one) was TO DIE FOR. I am salivating just thinking about it. I love me some mac and cheese so I am always excited to find really good ones. They also had a couple other options to choose from that I definitely will be back to try. My salmon was cooked to absolute perfection. The cheesecake was also amazing.
My girls and I left totally stuffed but totally happy.
My only issue with this place was the bathroom. It was a little odd, but hey it had a toilet so I can’t really complain.
They have a parking lot and they are also right off the light rail so they are super accessible.
I’d definitely recommend this place for a date or a girl’s night. It definitely has a romantic, luxe feel. I will definitely be back!

The BEST macaroni and cheese anywhere. It doesn’t seem possible that a classy upscale place like this with a fabulous wine and cheese list would have incredible macaroni and cheese. Ken knows what he is doing here and even though the food is every bit as good as the food I have had in Paris, his desserts will cause you to give in and forget about your diet for the day.
Ask your server which cheeses are at their best and simply have a glass of wine to go with it if you like.
If you order coffee it may take a bit as they always make it fresh when I am there.
Worth the drive, wait or ruining your diet for.

Very cute wine bar with a relaxed atmosphere. I went on a Sunday evening so it was nice and quiet, perfect for hanging out with friends and enjoying a long ambling dinner. Being able to watch the light rail go by gives it a very urban vibe which is a nice change from the usual suburban strip mall locale of most places in Phoenix.
I went here with a group of four for spring restaurant week. I am not sure if this was really such a good deal since the pizzas on their menu all sounded awesome and were much cheaper than the $ 30pp that we paid. But we happily decided to save that for another time and so we all ordered off the prix-​fix menu. Everyone at the table liked their food though one person felt their chicken was a little undercooked. We got a variety of options so that we could all sample each others food. For me, the highlight was the gazpacho. It was really delicious. None of the other dishes were really out-​of-​this-​world great, but still impressive food for a place that appears to primarily be a wine bar.
The best part was that our server was able to recommend wines for each of us that we had never tried before but really enjoyed. I love trying new wines so that was a lot of fun. A small plus is that it prints the name of the wine on the receipt so I can actually remember the name to hopefully purchase a bottle another time. Even though I don’t come to this midtown area often, this place is right down the street from the art museum so I will definitely be back.

Was not impressed at all. Atmosphere is like a coffee shop. They charge waytoo much for what you get in presentation, taste, and attention to detail. The short rib was alright, nothing special at all. The polenta was too thick and a bit cold.
Wine list is good.
They seem to be trying too hard to be something they are not. Too many restaurants within a 10 mile radius that execute a lot higher for the same price. Will not be back.

Cheuvront, as the name appears, is evidentially not French, as I first theorized. The only thing remotely French here was the Filet Mignon that was part of the customized menu for the Birthday Event I attended.
The scene here was kind of refreshing compared to many places in the Valley. It’s not everyday you can sip on fine wine, munch on exotic cheese and hear the sounds of a LIGHT passenger train swift by.
One of the best parts of the venue was actually mingling within the cool exclusive, private area where you can lounge on sofas or sit on high chairs at your tables that seated four. Interestingly, they had these transparent curtains that kind of snaked around each table creating almost an intimate feel. It was even more so that the lighting was set to dim with candle lights and modern pendant lighting hovering the tables.
The true highlights went to the food. I started my night with a Mango Mojito! It was an excellent, tasty drink BUT where was the alcohol? Did they run out?! Ahh! $ 8 for a virgin-​like drink?! I did feel ripped off, however, they won me over with:
Apps:
* Warm fresh baguette!
* Pâté: super good!
Main Entrées:
* Nicely prepared DUCK breast over very flavorful risotto with some crunchy asparagus pieces (style points with the artsy presentation!)
* The orange glazed SALMON had this nice surface texture while the inside remained moist and tender. The Fingerling Potato Wedges, surprisingly, complemented it very well.
Lastly, they were very courteous to help slice and box (any leftover) a Birthday Cake that was brought from outside. Extra points for added service.
Overall, it was a great venue to have a nice, cozy dinner with your closest friends in an urbanesque setting.

Tried a mac ‘n cheese «flight» this past Tuesday, ⁴⁄₂₁. One serving costs $ 8, or a trio $ 10. I chose blue cheese, pancetta and caramelized red onion, and butternut squash. I favored the blue cheese for huge flavor and the pancetta and onion for lovely texture. The butternut was alright– mildly sweet and I did like it for nibbling. At the very least, it was my veggie portion of the meal! I thought the presentation could’ve been better; I can appreciate the rustic look– one really cannot control how the cheeses will boil and spew in the oven… Well, have a look at the photos and tell me what you think! I did witness another table receive a «better-​looking» trio of ramekins, of what I don’t know, so perhaps she chose a different set from what I’d ordered.
Loved the section of lemon tarte I had for dessert! Awesome buttery shortbread with a well of lemon curd, then topped with a fresh lemon slice. I did notice that my tarte slice was cracked in a couple of places; Thought it «clever» of the server to hand the dish to me with the lemon slice neatly covering up the defects… Still a great-​tasting dessert, though– it’s a must-​try if you like lemons or buttery shortbread!
