My fiancee and I dined at Cue for the first time last week and were blown away by the entire experience from start to finish. The ambiance was one of a kind - blue, silver, sparkley - exactly the kind of place you want to get dressed up and go to for a special night out. Our server was perfect, not over bearing but there when we needed her, and all of the other employees around seemed to have the same kind of welcomed attentiveness. We decided to try their tasting menu - a 5-7 course meal that the chef puts out every week and opted to add the flight of wine pairings that could accompany each course. The dinner was awesome, there was smoked artic char, a beet salad, black pepper pasta with duck, mushrooms, shallots, etc., a beef entree and a cranberry dessert. It was especially cool how the ""wine captain"" came by before each course with our next pairing and explained to us what he was pouring and why it related to our next dish. For what a great night out we had, it really wasn't too expensive - at least not anymore than anywhere else we would have eaten that quality of food at (I think our check was under $200 after gratuity and all). After dinner we got to walk around the Guthrie and take a look a look at the theatre, the great views from the observation deck, etc. which really made the whole night more than just a dinner. I will be back to Cue to try a new tasting menu in the future and recommend that anyone looking for the perfect evening out do the same.
Pros: tasting menu, perfect service, get to visit the Guthrie as well
