Cuvee Awarded 2014 Tripadvisor Certificate Of Excellence

DESTIN, Fla. - May 20, 2014 - PRLog -- Chef Tim Creehan's Cuvee Bistro in Destin has received the 2014 TripAdvisor® Certificate of Excellence award. This is the fourth consecutive year Cuvee has won the accolade, which is given only to establishments that consistently achieve outstanding traveller reviews on TripAdvisor.  The recognition further stacks a banner awards season for Cuvee, which recently landed on Opentable's national Diner's Choice awards list of Top 100 Hottest Restaurant Bars.

“No seal of approval is more important than that of the customers," stated proprietor and Chef Tim Creehan.  "A Tripadvisor award comes straight from them, and inherently proffers authoritative validation as we strive to offer our guests the best dining experience in Destin.”

Establishments awarded the Tripadvisor Certificate of Excellence are located all over the world and represent the upper echelon of businesses listed on the website.  TripAdvisor uses a proprietary algorithm to determine the honorees that takes into account reviews ratings.  Businesses must maintain an overall TripAdvisor rating of at least four out of five, volume and recency of reviews. Additional criteria include a business’ tenure and popularity ranking on the site.

“TripAdvisor is pleased to honor exceptional hospitality businesses for consistent excellence,” said Marc Charron, President of TripAdvisor for Business. “The Certificate of Excellence award gives top performing establishments around the world the recognition they deserve.”
