| - As Gabi likes to regularly point out to me, I did move over a year ago and I am closer to Cheuvront. I suppose it is time for an update.
My initial review of 5 stars has not changed. Not every visit to Cheuvront has been a 5 star visit, but over time I have come to know what dishes and wines that I prefer. I am a frequent visitor to Cheuvront because I like the atmosphere it provides within the downtown area and it takes less than 5 minutes for me to walk there. It provides a relaxed environment where you can enjoy wine or a cocktail and order food based upon how what you are in the mood for. A full dinner? Sure. Just dessert? You got it. A small nosh? Why not. I find myself here most often for small plates and cheese, very rarely do I have a "regular" entree. It is not to say that they aren't good, they are and they are quite large, I just enjoy the variety of the menu.
My favorite time of year at Cheuvront is the fall, as I think that their best dishes involve traditional fall ingredients such as butter nut squash and pumpkin. This is also my favorite time to partake in their extensive cheese list. Their international plates, while may seem expensive at first glance, are literally overflowing with cheese and meats. Happy Hour can be a fun time, although I am personally not a fan of many of the mixed cocktails that they feature. This works out just fine, as the wine list has many choices that I am happy to order at 25% off. The $5 tapas offered during HH are great compliments, my favorites being the gnocchi, ceviche, and the mac and cheese. (Really, any of their mac and cheese options are great).
The relaxed atmosphere and consistent food and service have made Cheuvront into one of my favorite places in Phoenix, and possibly my favorite place downtown.
