“ Cultured is a super cute spot! Food and drinks were both delicious. Will definitely be coming back! ”
“ We discovered Cultured a few years ago and it’s still one of our favorite spots. The patio is nice and accessible for those in wheelchairs like our daughter, so it’s an easy place for us to visit. The charcuterie boards are always good; a good amount of food for the price. We’ve also ordered a large board online and picked it up to go and that was a great experience as well. **the boards pictured are from various visits* ”
“ I was pleasantly surprised. This was my first time at a charcuterie restaurant, and I will definitely return! The charcuterie that we got was the "make it a double" and it was great for 3 of us. Service was great! All of the employees were helpful and knowledgeable about their ingredients. It is an order-at-the-counter establishment with a bar. The ambiance was lovely and the music was on point to my taste. I got the Regina George cocktail and it was delicious. Can't wait til next time! ”
“ We had a wonderful afternoon here on the patio. We ordered a wine flight that comes with cheese pairings, and then also shared the Make It Double board. Everything was delicious and we liked being able to customize the board. ”
“ AMAZING! The staff was knowledgeable about their products, and even walked us through what charcuterie board option would be the most worth our money based on what we liked. We sat on the outside patio (even though it was a little chilly) and it was totally worth it. They even had live trivia! Our drinks were delivered quickly, and with a smile. We LOVED the 4 off happy hour as we got to try a selection of cocktails without breaking the bank. The Victoria and the Old Fashioned were our favorites.The charcuterie board was fantastic. The selection of meats and cheeses, paired with such a wide variety of produce is exactly what we were looking for on our last date night before moving to a new state. Seriously, you can't go wrong at this place. Thank you Cultured - if we're ever back in the area again we will DEFINITELY drop by for another visit. ”
“ Loved our first experience here! It’s such a cute place and a perfect environment to hangout, eat a light snack and simply talk. The employees were very knowledgeable of their menu and flavors and provided us with a lot of insight with it being our first time ordering. They explained everything very thoroughly! We also went during their Saturday happy hour when they served 3 mimosas (which were delicious!) The space is a bit small so I wouldn’t recommend showing up with a large group of 6 or more. A larger group may also be able to sit in their outdoor area better when the weather is warm. It was placed on Yelp’s top 100 restaurants list for 2022 which is what first caught our attention, and now we know why. Would highly recommend! ”
“ This is a wonderful place to treat a lady to a one on one casual meal. Very much a specialty plated meal. Also a neat date spot. You take your time and chat while you munch. The mocktail was pricy and not worth it. But the charcuterie board was very delicious. You get to build your own cheese and meat flavors. Very tastey. ”
“ Cheese & Vibes? Say Less. I walked into Cultured thinking I’d have a cute little cheese moment—and walked out a full-blown dairy enthusiast. If you love great wine, perfectly curated cheese boards, and an atmosphere that makes you feel effortlessly cool, welcome to your new obsession. The selection?? Next level. Every cheese, every pairing, every sip of wine feels intentional, elevated, and just straight-up delicious. Like, I took one bite and immediately started questioning why I ever settled for basic grocery store cheese. (I’ve changed. I’m different now.) And the vibe?? Absolutely flawless. It’s giving "I’m sophisticated but also fun"—the kind of place where you could have a romantic date, a gossip-filled wine night, or just sit alone and pretend you’re the mysterious lead in an indie film. Final thoughts? Cultured isn’t just a wine & cheese shop—it’s a lifestyle. If you haven’t been yet, grab your people (or just yourself, no shame) and go treat your taste buds to something truly elite. ”
