    The food was good but not exceptional. The Halibut was a very small portion. The steak tartar was average as the beef flavor was masked by the marinade it was mixed with. The restaurant is attractive but the music level was higher than me and my dining partner would have liked. The best part of the meal was the chocolate silk mouse we had for desert. It was rich with a silky smooth texture and delightfully accented with caramel around the edges.

    Have eaten here a lot and the food was off. I had the Bronzini very little taste -son had swordfish no flavor. Wife had poke bowl (orders it a lot) and flavors were off- cost of meal exceeded value/quality of food. This was the first time I’ve experienced this way surf ambience everything was awesome as always.

    We were a party of six people, made the reservation some time ago and they preceded to cram us into a 4 person booth! We asked are you going to put us there and not a table, and we’re told yes in a take it or leave it manner. One of the men in our party was hanging off of seat! Then waiter takes order, which 4 of us pick the sole, only to have him return to our booth to say they are out of sole!! This is 6:30 on a Saturday night. Then everyone gets their salad except one at the table…..waited for that forgotten salad to arrive. Now onto dessert, waiter brings tab before asking if we want dessert, we order dessert, brings us the wrong dessert!! It was total chaos and other than the fish, a big disappointment! Also there were two tables in the back that could accommodate 6 people, where they seated 4 people each! Do not go here with a party of 6!!! And the girl who seated us could not have been any ruder if she tried…..crazy evening for the price!!

    I traveled from San Francisco w a friend to visit our sons in Dallas. This was our 2nd visit to this restaurant. Loved our experience - the food is DIVINE - we tried several small plates, plus entrees and sides. Everything was beautifully prepared. Ceviche, Ahi, and whole fish, Best fish I can remember in a long time. We will be back!

    This being our second visit, we were confused why it look us so long to return. Everything about Montlake Cut makes sense. Easy, plentiful parking. Nice, casual environment. Great service. And really good food! The amount of food you get is also more then fulfilling. A shared smoked salmon appetizer, wedge salad, and sole Milanese was almost too much food to eat. We noticed the two next to us splitting one wedge salad which we made note of for next time since we would not have wanted to omit the smoked salmon appetizer! Zach and the team provided great suggestions and excellent service. Will not wait as long to return!

    We went for dinner and they seated us at a very small 2 top table against the wall. It was fasten to the wall so it was very comfortable. Our bill with tip was well over 300 dollars but the food and service were wonderful. We arrived at for a 5:30 reservation and it was about 30% full but the hostess refused to give us a large table. I would recommend this place but try not too get the small table

    The food was absolutely delicious and we tried many different things. However, we hadn’t been in several months and we’re shocked how much the prices had gone up. A dozen oysters were $52, higher than most other high end seafood restaurants. Great service too

    We loved sitting at the chef counter! It's in the back of the restaurant viewing the kitchen. Our app and drinks and dinner were all so yummy. It got a little loud when all of the tables were full in the back and a little tight quarters but it was such a nice spot with great food.

    From the moment we entered, we were on the clock. The waiter was rushing us to order our meal, even before we had ordered drinks. We had one appetizer, then a second appetizer and then we were still rushed. We ordered entrees which were excellent, but for four people to eat in 1 hour is ridiculous, plus a second bottle of wine. There were no people waiting for tables, but we were constantly rushed. From now on we will sit at the bar and have Andrew wait on us!

    This place is always great. It had been awhile due to we visit all of Nick’s restaurants (except Brass Ram that just opened). Our server was great, the staff are excellent at taking care of us with asking do we need anything to paying attention to severe allergies. The food is fantastic. Tried the crab artichoke dip and couple of old fashions for the first time. So good. This place hits all of the check marks/list of a great restaurant.

    Overall, we had a great experience. We had a reservation at 7:45 on a Saturday evening after everyone had been “iced in” at home all week so it was a packed house. We weren’t seated until close to 8:20pm which was a huge bummer but the staff did a great job of checking in with us and even comped drinks while we waited - a very nice touch. From there on, it was great. Service, food, drinks, etc were all fantastic. We look forward to going back.

    From the front desk to the bartenders and waiters, this is our go-to restaurant destination. It has a great vibe and we love dining at the bar. We usually see old friends and enjoy meeting new ones. We go for the fresh fish but the menu has a variety of dishes to please everyone. It’s our Cheers bar and we highly recommend it!
