The food was bland and overpriced. The service was fine.

Bridget, I am so disappointed to see that you were less than impressed with our food but do appreciate the feedback. While the vast majority of our reviews are extremely positive, our goal is for every meal and experience to be great. We apparently missed the mark here but do hope you give us another try so you can hopefully experience what the overwhelming majority of other happy patrons have experienced. -Ray

Cuvee Ray is a must for wine and food lovers. Chef Joey Churchman is a star. We have followed him from his own restaurant, Bramble & Brine to the Buttery in Lewes and now Cuvee Ray. Every dish is beautifully presented. The deckle is a stand-out. We also had the charred Brussels sprouts, warm kale salad and Tagliolini pasta with asparagus and mushrooms. I appreciated options as a vegan. The back room features a private dining room for large groups. Live music on Friday and Saturday nights in the front room/bar. The service is also top notch so don’t delay!

Isabelle, so glad you enjoyed your experience at Cuvée Ray and we really appreciate such a nice review. I will certainly pass on your praise of Joe's efforts in the kitchen!! We look forward to your next visit. -Ray

Michael was our server and did an amazing job of explaining the wine flights and the different selections available. MICHAEL also was knowledgeable with regard to food prep and menu choices, attentive to our needs without being overbearing. Cuvèe Ray has an extensive wine list and menu to which the chef does not disappoint! Our meal with me at all that much better by the entertainment of Joey Fulkerson! We can’t wait to go back and bring our friends! Thank you Ray For the tour of the wine tasting room... perfect for a small dinner party.
