    While the food was okay, the service was incredibly slow and the carpet smelled unbelievably bad. It’s hard to understand why a restaurant doesn’t notice such horrible smells and do something to address it. Really disappointing.

    I have mixed reviews. We were seated a while before a server greeted us. However, the server was professional and courteous. When our entrées arrived, portions of my meal was not warm, which suggest it may have been sitting under the heat lamp for a while. (The server had to bring me a fresh side of potatoes that were heated. I didn’t bother sending back my seafood, which would’ve taken too long,) My wife ordered a salad, which did not come until after the meal. My entree actually very good in spite of it not being hot. When we received our bill, the server needed to make an adjustment in the price because we were up charged for the special menu. In spite of that the server did the best he could, and we did not fault him. Our overall experience was good not great.

    Cutters must have been unbelievably short staffed on Memorial Day for lunch because we have never had such terrible service. 4 of us were seated at a lovely table with a view. Then we waited for our waiter to bring menus. We ordered drinks and asked for water. It took us 20 minutes to get our drinks, & no water. We ordered food and that took almost half an hour. One of us ordered another drink and it took so long he told the waiter to cancel it. We all wanted another drink but did not because we knew it would take too long. A few minutes later his drink came. The drink was comped and they comped 2 desserts knowing the service was extremely slow. We were disappointed to say the least.

    The only complaint I would have is that despite having made a reservation and expressing my wife coming back home to visit for the first time in a decade, we were given a terrible table despite there being wonderful tables available right on the water that were never used our entire meal. We had a great view of trash cans and cargo ships. The server was excellent.

    The atmosphere at Cutters was perfect. We had a great table with a view of the waterfront including the great wheel. It was a sunny day so Mount Rainer was out! The food was very good. The fish was cooked to each of our specifications. The service was exceptional!

    Outstanding views with food and service to match. Get a table along the water facing windows, and try the jambalaya. You won’t regret it. Sadly we live on the other side of the country or we’d be here on a weekly basis to try everything on the menu. If, like us, you’re just passing through town, don’t pass up Cutters Crabhouse.

    Service was excellent and the food was also very good. What our table didn’t appreciate was the large party brought in towards our table to their seats. The guests were allowed to surround our table where they talked loudly across it for about two minutes. It would have helped if they had been advised to quietly follow the host to their tables.
