    Excellent service and welcoming greetings from reception throughout the dining experience. We were one of the last reservations for the evening and the team still executed all well. We never felt rushed and had a very pleasant dinner at a table with a view.

    Very hectic when we arrived. The restaurant did not appear prepared for several walk in guests for lunch. The food however was good. Clams were good. Crab and shrimp fettuccine was very good. Drinks were great. I would not recommend the sushi.

    Nice location near Pike Place, easy to get a reservation. Noted that it was my daughter's birthday in the reservation and to our server and no one ever acknowledged it. We were allowed to make a table swap to one in the windows with a gorgeous view of the Sound, but that was the only highlight of the evening. The food was ok, arrived cold. Server was very nice, but the service was spotty. No refills, limited times checking on us. Very disappointing end to our final evening in Seattle. Salty's in West Seattle was a much better seafood dinner!

    Absolutely best multi course custom brunch ever with great views and service. Had oysters, mussels, chowder, crab and crème brûlée and every single item was delicious. 10 out of 10!

    We had a great time at Cutters Crabhouse. The ambience was wonderful—classy without being stuffy, and just the right level of quiet to enjoy good conversation. The view alone made the experience feel extra special. We really enjoyed the crab and artichoke dip—it was rich, flavorful, and a definite highlight. The rainbow sushi roll, on the other hand, was just mediocre—nothing special. We enjoyed our desserts: key lime pie, crème brûlée and birthday lava cake. Our server was friendly and attentive with a bit of sass, which added a fun, quirky vibe to the service. Overall, a tasty and memorable spot, especially if you’re looking for great views and a relaxing atmosphere.

    First dinner at Cutters, and it was great. I ordered the appetizer special and was very glad I did. I also ordered one of the seafood entrees. The recipe was wonderful and it was cooked to perfection. The harbor view is also a treat. I will enthusiastically recommend this restaurant to friends and colleagues.

    We had a fabulous time! The food was delicious!! We just wished the crab and artichoke dip serving size was larger!!! Our server Daniel was attentive to our party of eight needs and he very personable. He helped to make the dining experience very enjoyable!!! When in town again, we will ask to be seated in Daniels’ area!!

    The hostess, and waitstaff were so good. The food was really quite good especially since Cutters is part of the gargantuan conglomerate of Landrys. Many of the Landrys products have become less than quality options when dining. Cutters was a standout for the positive offerings from Landrys. Peohe’s has been consistent as has Vic and Anthony’s. Our crab stuffed shrimp and king crab were prepared perfectly as was the bread pudding, which may be some of the best we’ve tasted. Kudos to Cutters for providing a great experience.

    Crab was good. Would have been nice to have a more balanced menu though so it could feel like a complete meal. The crab didn’t come with much veggies and they didn’t serve bread.
