Best Historic Restaurants in Waterfront / Belltown

We've been going to Cutters for special meals and taken out of town guests here for 35+ years. It's in a beautiful setting, the service has always been excellent, and the food - although always on the pricey side - has been worth it. This most recent visit was the first time we really felt that the difficulty most Seattle restaurants were having in the post-COVID reality had hit Cutters. Portions were smaller, sauces were meager, and prices were higher. That being said, our friends from North Carolina had a grand time and loved it. One of them had never been to Seattle, never had King Salmon, and had never eaten a Dungeness crab. He was in heaven. And our server, Andra, was outstanding. She was kind, patient, and helpful guiding our friends through the menu, and she did yeoman's labor cracking that crab!

Absolutely incredible experience. The level of detail is unmatched.

Amazing experience! Beautiful interior and fabulous service. Would recommend this for all occasions.

Everyone was nice and attentive. Especially on a holiday. The location is nice being next to the water.
