We had the three-course prix fixe with a couple of appetizers to supplement, and came away sated and happy. The quality of the fish was outstanding and the waitstaff were jovial and attentive. We were not rushed and the coursing was well paced. Definitely recommended.

This was our first time at Ballard Cut and we really loved it. The food was really quite good, the service was excellent and the ambience was nice on a Wednesday evening. Our only complaint is that we wish they would indicate which menue items are gluten free. Otherwise not complaints, hight recommended.
