We’ve dined at Montlake Cut several times and it never disappoints. Our server last night was Abby and she was a delight, making helpful suggestions and then pacing our order so that we never felt rushed nor had to wait for the next course. Their seafood is always fresh and the restaurant is charming and well run. You really can’t go wrong with Montlake Cut!

We had a reservation, but still had to wait a bit for our table, which was fine. The restaurant is popular and I love that. The manager was very apologetic and made sure we were taken care of. She brought drinks and an appetizer to the table. I felt spoiled. It was a great experience. The food was divine and I have never had a bad meal. The crab fried rice is always a must and we ordered it as an appetizer. The oysters were fresh. My husband said the salmon was the best piece of fish he had ever had. Our friend who was dining with us has a shellfish allergy and they were very mindful of that too. From starter to dessert it was a perfect meal.

We had a bit of a rough start for a party of six on a very busy night, but the team made a remarkable effort to delight us. The food and drinks were, as always, excellent. The standards and commitment at Montlake Cut continue at a very high level.

We have been at this Restaurant since it's beginning and always enjoyed it Ceviche was good , but the Sea Bass Tacos were not eatable, totally overcooked and tough Tacos were so bad, like someone in the Kitchen didn't know how to prepare them We were rushed to eat and get out of there, Rum cake was still cold instead of being warm Not going back, we have better Restaurants

Pretty disappointed with our Tuesday evening dinner at Montlake Cut. We have been here before and were looking forward to celebrating a birthday. Service was quite slow. Calamari was undercooked. I ordered the swordfish special. The fish was way overcooked and the side of spicy cheese grits was cold and lumpy- as if it had been made in advance and allowed to sit and harden. My wife had the sole Milanese which was the best dish of the night. I told the server about the issues with my dish and he offered nothing to make it better. Didn’t offer to have the kitchen remake or get me anything else. Very disappointing for a restaurant that is usually top notch.

Had a great meal at Montlake Cut, the shrimp and grits, cod, tuna, and crab fried rice were all excellent. Great wine and cocktail menu too. Highly recommend!

Always a wonderful time at Montelake. Sitting at the bar and the impeccable service by Andrew is the reason we continue to come back. The Opakapaka was incredible this time, we hope you get that back often!
