Steakhouse
THE CHATHAM CUT offers an especially unique, intimate dining experience.

We specialize in freshly-cut meats. Our steaks are freshly-cut every day.

The Chatham Cut does NOT use pre-packaged previously cut pre-weighed plastic-wrapped meat, or cook our steaks using the "Sous Vide," method as many other non-specialist restaurants do. Every "Cut," is fresh, which offers the special flavor profile our guests have searched for.

Our offerings are prepared in the true steakhouse old-world tradition. Side options are also steakhouse traditional, with fresh vegetables as well as loaded baked potatoes.

For those who love seafood, we offer our oysters, sourced from within walking distance and many exciting spins on traditional offerings. The Cut's Yellowfin Tuna is popular as a Tartar as well as our Sushi-Grade Entree.

Plan ahead for your visit!

The Chatham Cut is an intimate dining experience.

We do not offer a wait-list. We do not have a waiting lounge.

We are a destination.

    Wonderful Birthday Celebration for my sister. The staff was accommodating and their attention to detail was spot on. The crab cake and tuna tartare appetizers were fabulous and the teriyaki filet tips were melt in your mouth goodness! Dessert selection and cocktails stellar as well!!

    What a treat! We had 3 amazing appetizers, the octopus, short rib agnolotti and lump crab. They were all phenomenal. We had smoked ribs and 6 ounce filet. Once again amazing. The blue cheese fondue is out of this world. Highly recommended!!

    Kudos and thanks to the Chatham Cut for a memorable experience last night as we celebrated our 40th wedding anniversary! From the moment we arrived and we’re greeted by the lovely hostess- who congratulated us and seated us with 2 glasses of complimentary champagne 🥂- to the end of the evening, everything was spectacular! We started with the seafood sampler - fresh and delicious! My husband enjoyed the 10 oz Filet - served as ordered - he said it was perfect! I loved the Terryiaki filet tips - so tender! Service was excellent and attentive! What a perfect evening! Highly recommend this very special place!!

    This was our first visit to the Cut. Upon arriving, was impressed by the warmth and coziness of the space, although the restaurant is quite loud. We started with a couple of cocktails (on the small side but delicious), the calamari appetizer and shared a garden salad. Calamari was cooked a bit inconsistently (some pieces were excellent, some a little more rubbery) and the fry was on the pale side (could have been browned a bit), but the side sauces were excellent. Salad was fresh and generous - we were glad we split. For dinner, we both had a special - one halibut and one BBQ pork chop. Both dinners were excellent! All in all, a very enjoyable dinner in a nice atmosphere. We’ll be back.

    We had a very special anniversary dinner at Chatham Cut last night. The food was some of the best we've had on the Cape. The service by Anna and team was fantastic. They really all made us feel special and welcome. When we left, every single server and bar staff we encountered on the way out wished us a happy anniversary. We have never experienced that level of customer service at any other restaurant. The short rib ravioli was next level. The filet mignon was very tender and cooked to perfection. The poached lobster was the best my husband ever had, although difficult to get out of the shell. The cannoli board was a fun way to share a dessert. My only tiny, tiny, negative was that the bearnaise sauce needs some work. We will certainly go back and can't wait to try some other items on their menu!!!

    Didn’t make The Cut. Wasn’t even busy, but it took a good 15 minutes to even be greeted by our waitress or get water, for which they comp’d our first round of drinks. Waitress was new, so we were very forgiving, but that does not account for the food. We did not feel like steak so tried other entrees that looked really good website/menu, so maybe that was our mistake: go with steak at a steak restaurant! The bolognese was tasteless and nothing more than fried hamburg that was not drained from the grease, barely any spices and NO flavor-it was NOT good. Husband ordered clams w linguini and his take was that it was a very bland dish-clams were good, but nothing great about any of the rest if that dish. If you try this restaurant, maybe stick w the expensive steak entrees, maybe you’ll have better luck. At this point, probably would not go back since there are plenty of other solid choices in the area.

    After 2 great meals earlier this summer this one was a real clunker. Hopefully it was just an off night and not the start of a trend. The only item that was good were the oysters which I think are the best in Chatham. Perfectly shucked and served. Everything else was over sauced and not really flavorful. The Wedge salad special was the size of a side salad and had way too much dressing. It was so small we had to order another. The piece of Swordfish in the Swordfish piccata was less than 1/2" thick and over cooked. The dish was over sauced. The Lobster Tail Ravioli special was also over sauced with a sauce that didn't taste like much. We hope the Cut returns to the level of our previous experiences as we really want to keep coming back.

    Food was excellent; my son said that this steak as absolutely one of the best he ahs ever had. Our server was charming, helpful and attentive. The dining room is small so it can get a bit loud but the decor, dark paneling, and layout of the tables lends to an airy feel and the ambience is good. Noise level was not too much of an issue but that would be the only critique we have.

    No sear on the steak. It’s like it was baked on low heat. Ribeye came out grey and lacked any real grilled steak flavor. Great drinks and service made it a good night.
