The Chalkboard (formerly Cafe Cuvee)

[Rover]

We go to Sunday brunch there often and enjoy it. Food is good. Service has been great. Atmosphere is sophisticated. And it is not loud...you can have a nice conversation at the table.

I've never had a bad meal and have always enjoyed it.

Any dish you recommend?

[Richard at Remax]

The pork schnitzel and short ribs are always good. My wife likes the scallops and risotto as well as the seafood alfredo. They usually have some sort of special too that I'll try every now and then.

The Viceroy closed on July 23rd and is being remodeled to become Cafe Cuvee, "Serving authentic, approachable French fare".

The sign will be changed soon.

Interesting. Viceroy never, ever appealed to me, although I love the Ambassador and REALLY love O Bar.

I first read that as Cafe Covfefe

[Urbanized]

Hahaha

I was in there today. It is gutted. We are working there to improve the sound.

PLEASE make it so diners can converse! I have a growing list of OKC restaurants I won't visit again because the noise level is too high.

Viceroy has had a new chef for the last few months that graduated from the Coach House Apprenticeship program. Taylor's talent and consistency, paired with a rebrand and remodel into Cafe Cuvee have the potential to make that restaurant a prominent fixture of the midtown dining scene. I am biased considering I work for the same group, but I honestly believe most everyone is going to be pleased with the results.

No. I am one of those audio snobs and share your sentiment. The problem in this space is it is all high-end with no mid-range or bass. Tiny, tiny ceiling speakers. It is heavily carpeted and I believe the curtains are returning. So it won't be loud unless intentionally made so by the managers.

I hear ya. Mind sharing your list?

You posters should start a thread specific to this. I have my own opinions as well but would rather not derail the thread.

[Thomas Vu]

There is at least 1 thread.

[TheTravellers]

There is at least 1 thread.

Do you have a link to it? I know there were some mentioned in various other restaurant threads, but couldn't find a noisy restaurants thread easily...

I misread. I thought it was a list of places to visit. That's on me.

[Urban Pioneer]

I just had the Beef Bourgogne and it was awesome.

[LFordD40]

I saw them post that picture, do you have any idea when they are planning on having the new place open? It sounds right up my alley

[Urban Pioneer]

Two weeks. I’ll send Pete the current start up menu at the bar.

[Uptowner]

This is so up my alley. Stews, cassoulet, cock au vin. Gimme! It’s so hard to find a chef & owner that wants to do old school. I usually have to gorge myself when we visit my brother in law in Alsace. I wonder, will they have a baker?

From Urban Pioneer:

[Urbanized]

Wow that looks fantastic. And super-reasonable, considering the fare.

[bucktalk]

Oh yeah....I'm all over that! Want to try it all!

Ok I have to go try the Beef Bourgogne..... That was one of the first savory dishes I learned to make watching Julia Childs on PBS as a kid.
