Been coming to Kai for special occasions for 15 years and never disappointed. Chef Drew is incredible - the front of the house is first class all the way (thank you again Kevin and the team for always making us feel special - I am pretty sure that’s how everyone who comes in feels).

About the restaurant

Cuisine & Wine Bistro debuted in March 2015 when Fabrice and Mairead Buschtetz purchased the former MWC Bistro in Gilbert. Just a year later, CWB Chandler opened its doors. This move let Fabrice work his culinary magic in the kitchen, delighting the palates of the bistro's ever-expanding and loyal customer base. Cuisine & Wine Bistro proudly garners Wine Spectator's Award of Excellence for the consecutive years '21, '22, and '23. This prestigious accolade reflects our exceptional wine program, expertly curated by certified sommelier Killian Buschtetz.

I had the moules and it was the best broth I've ever had--even in Paris. The service was friendly and the atmosphere warm and inviting. Excellent wine selections and cocktails.

Food is always great but last evening the food was one of the very best experiences we have enjoyed at Prime. Brian, our server, was great as usual and he made our guest who was celebrating her birthday, feel very special
