What People Are Saying
from Google"Love this neighborhood spot. We come here regularly and always enjoy ourselves. The burger is fantastic. The Wednesday chicken special is ridiculously good. They had a trout dip on the menu at one point that I still think about. They usually have at least one fruited sour on the beer menu which I love, I wish they made more. Their cocktails are also excellent! In general I find their dishes high quality like other trendy restaurants while the ambiance is very comfortable and casual which I like. Interestingly I tried the west town location and although it’s the same food I thought cultivate did it all better."
"The beers made here are a nice twist on standard recipes we see everywhere—floral notes everywhere. Every beer has a note or involves a plant, which is cool! The best beer was definitely the triple IPA—using some very rare German hops there. The burger I got (not smash) was absolutely stellar. Some of the best food in the city, doing some fun stuff with beer. And a wonderful atmosphere. 100% on par with the BR in west town, and 100% recommend this any day of the week!"
"Not sure there's much I can add to Cultivate's string of outstanding reviews. Service and hospitality were excellent and our food--particularly the baby iceberg salad and mussels in jerk sauce--was delectable. The beers I tried--"good on ya" and "cosmic trust fall"--were tasty."
"Cute space, perfectly friendly staff, the service is fine! Nice wine list, really enjoyed their cocktails as well. The food is just so underwhelming which is particularly frustrating because the menu sounds interesting and the dishes look lovely. The flavor is simply not there. We had the roasted carrots as a starter, they were beautifully presented but very dull flavor wise. They needed some acid and/or sweetness to balance out. I had the mussels which were a huge portion for the price but very bland. The sauce sounded great but there wasn't enough of it and it wasn't flavorful enough. The fries are super basic, not absorbent for the sauce. These really should be homemade, it's a shame they're not. My friend had the pasta which was also underwhelming and not flavorful. What the heck guys! Rounding up to 4 stars and hoping it's better in the future"
"Stopped by for happy hour which turned into dinner. I went back in 2023 and only tried beer flight & wanted to return to try their food. Love the open space and also opportunities to try different beer, thanks to their 5oz options. hearth roasted cauliflower $22: debated over shishito peppers or cauliflowers. Glad I got cauliflowers because it had a smokey flavor that I really enjoyed. The black rice, not so much. At first, I thought it wasn't good but as I kept going for it, it was addictive! Spanish octopus $28: looking forward to a good octopus dish, but wasn't impressed. It was overcooked & chorizo was too airy for my taste. Wouldn't order again. beer braised short rib $29: meat too dry. eggplant dip and naan were ooook. Wouldn't order again. Food was disappointing but I'd try other dishes before ruling it out. Service, space, and beer were good, so 4 stars it is."
