    We showed up at 8:10 for an 8:15 reservation and were not seated until 8:50. We were forced to stand by the hostess stand for over 30 minutes because the staff could not or would not ask multiple tables to leave. I understand it is a touchy situation to tell tables their time is up but it is equally as bad if not worse to make a party stand around for half an hour past their reservation time. What is even more frustrating is this restaurant actually called me the afternoon of our reservation to confirm we would be there. We held up our end of the bargain and Montlake Cut did not.

    The Dungeness cocktail which comes with chips was amazing as usual. The shrimp cocktail is a good value. Large, tasty Gulf shrimp. The cocktails were amazing. Best agave martini in Dallas. Same bar tender and he has all the drinks down perfectly. We enjoyed the sole Milanese which was a large portion and perfectly prepared. Our outstanding waitress Cheryl Lynn, who looks like Goldie Hawn in her younger days, was very attentive and knowledgeable about all food and the wines. With dinner, we had the Smith-Chapel 22 Aligote white- burgundy from France. Skip the bread. I noticed that we were not the only table that barely touched the bland cold bread. JCalhoun
