    This used to be such a nice place! Most of the staff are nice-ish but a few were just not suited for service, almost mean. Service was so slow, took forever to get our meal, about 2 hours for lunch. The bright spot, the fried cheese curds are still amazing.

    I have been to Cutter's several times over the last year and service and food have always been top notch. Last night's dinner missed the mark. Granted, the restaurant was busy with summer tourists but the service was dismal. Drinks took quite long to arrive and there were only four of us. We ordered a beer, glass of wine, club soda and martini. I understand that the bar can get backed up but let us know if that is the case. I ordered a salad, and it arrived right before our entrees. I am a fast eater, and they tried to clear my salad twice while I was eating it. Same with the shared appetizer we ordered. Given our service, I would think twice about recommending this restaurant.

    Chose this restaurant for its location overlooking the water and its profile as a “$$” (<$30) classification. All the entrees were north of $30, ranging to $52 for halibut. $$? I had Dungeness crab and shrimp fettuccine. It was served warm, not hot. Shrimp were tasty and cooked nicely. I didn’t find any crabmeat until the last bite. Mrs JWLnGLL had grilled seafood trio, salmon plus scallops plus shrimp. It was served somewhat less than warm, and when she offered me one of her shrimp, it was stone cold. Is there an aversion to hot food in Seattle? Dessert was a black cherry pastry, which was long on the pastry and short on cherries. Everything tasted fine, but the serving temperature was disappointing and the value for money paid wasn’t there.

    Great night at Cutters! This is our second visit and it was just as incredible as the first. Thanks to Sophia for helping us choose between entrees bc we wanted everything. The seafood trio and lobster pasta both hit the spot.

    Had a great dinner overlooking Seattle Harbor. The mussels were a real treat as the sauce was excellent. Also enjoyed the tuna and sole with crabmeat. Nice wine selection and cocktails. Great place to dine. Definitely for fish lovers.

    Food was slightly above average, our service was excellent. Had king and local crab, wedge salads, potatoes and sprouts. Nothing was bad, everything was good, but it wasn’t the best crab I’ve had.
