    The location is perfect, and the views beautiful! We went on a Sunday in early Spring, and it was very busy, so consider making a reservation during peak times. The server was good, not amazing but solid, no complaints. The food was also pretty solid, benchmark for local seafood. We ordered from a special menu where we got to experience a little of a lot of items. I'd go back whenever in town.

    The new light rail service from the Eastside opens up a whole bunch of dining opportunities that were too inconvenient prior. Cutters is back in the playlist, and I returned for the first time in years, you can't recreate that view on the Eastside. First up, a heads up. It's a corporate restaurant, the waiter's are all schooled in the art of upselling. Just relax and let them do their routine, they are required to so don't get upset. We came in during Seattle Restaurant Week and they did a great job with their 3 course dinner. One chowder, one salad, one seafood pasta, one salmon, all of it excellently seasoned and prepared. And oh did I mention the view??

    Great food and drinks. Great service, friendly people and knowledgeable of the menu I really like this place because it is consistently great food and great place.

    I really enjoyed my dinner at Cutters Crabhouse! My dad and I ordered a lot of meals to share because we wanted a taste of iconic Seattle dishes, and everything was great. I have to give a special mention to the clam chowder, chipotle shrimp, and the sea bass - they were fresh, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. The resturant itself is in the iconic Pike Market and is on the waterfront, so created a truly stunning, calming and authentic dining experience. Our server was so friendly and helpful. This was a great first meal to introduce us to delicious Seattle food!

    Crab Dip!!!

    Yes to Crabbers! Yes to the Crab Dip! And yes to the Pilsner beer! Five stars for the great appy and cold beer. Order the crab dip, you will not be disappointed. The service by Ben was great too!

    This place was great! We wanted a waterfront seafood restaurant for our last night and this place did not disappoint. We booked a reservation, you need a reservation anywhere you go in Seattle. A great location and choice for dinner!

    Happy hour menu - Ahi Tuna Tacos, Old Bay Fries, and Edamame
    Kyle V.

    Walked over from a nearby hotel for an early dinner during their great happy hour. Everyone we interacted with was very friendly and inviting. We grabbed two spots at the bar and ordered a few drinks and multiple appetizers to share from their happy hour menu. I really enjoyed the spicy margarita and the ahi tuna tacos. I was intrigued by the thin cut French fries with old bay seasoning and enjoyed them. I'm a sucker for thin/crispy fries and love old bay seasoning. The edamame was average at best. Luke warm with some salt shaken on them. This was the only dish that we didn't love. We would definitely come back again.

    First of all, I found this restaurant on Yelp when I was looking for a nice place to enjoy seafood with a view of the water. The food was not disappointing...it was delicious! Although you will not see any pictures. Please know that it was also nicely plated. Our server ensured that we enjoyed the evening discussing the menu items that we had questions about. I wish I remembered his name he was very professional and attentive. I will definitely revisit this establishment when I return to Seattle.

    Little Gem Wedge
    Shay E.

    We had some Landry's credits that were about to expire, so we decided to give Cutters Crabhouse a try. While waiting at the hostess stand, we were greeted by the bar-area server -- he was great. The hostess was also pleasant and personable. Shortly after we were seated, our server came over. He was nice, though quiet and reserved. We started with the Little Gem Wedge Salad. While I prefer a more traditional wedge, the homemade blue cheese dressing was phenomenal. I ordered the Fish and Chips -- unfortunately, it was a miss. Some of the worst I've ever had. When I broke open the fish, water trickled out, which was a pretty clear indication it wasn't fresh. My first red flag should have been that the menu didn't list the type of fish. The beer batter was overcooked, and the oil tasted old. My dining partner had the Dungeness crab and shrimp fettuccine and said it was great. As we were leaving, the bar-area server thanked us for coming in and asked if we needed parking validated -- which we appreciated, since our server had forgotten. Parking isn't fully validated, but you do get a 50% off sticker. Overall, Cutters was a one-and-done for us. We both agreed it's not worth a return visit.

    We went here for dinner and had a beautiful view of Puget Sound and Big Wheel. The food was delicious and the staff went out of their way to bring us extras. I loved my meal and it was quite nice. Thank you Cutters!

    Crab and Oven Roasted Crab & Artichoke Dip
    Tara C.

    Had such a great experience at Cutter's Crabhouse during a mother-daughter trip! Everything we ordered was spot on--the oven-roasted crab & artichoke dip was rich and flavorful, and the open-faced crab sandwich was absolutely delicious. Fresh, well-prepared, and worth it. Special shoutout to our server, James; he was attentive, friendly, and made the whole experience even better. Top notch service and recommendations. Definitely recommend if you're in Seattle and craving great seafood with a view!

    Is there a kids menu?

    I didn't see one. IMO, it's not a place for kids.

    What is the dress code like?

    Was there for a weekend lunch and it was casual. I would say more tourists than locals so all different types of dress.

    Where do you park that car that we will be using since taking a bus for a late dinner isn't my idea of a great thing and I live here, in the city- do they have valet?

    No we do not have a valet, I'm sorry . We do have discounted parking on premise . Hope to see you soon !

I'd heard it was Filipino breakfast food, so I decided to go on a weekday after a staff member mentioned there's no wait then. To be safe, I placed my order online ahead of time. That turned out to be a smart move -- when I arrived, the place was packed and there were still two people in line. This is at 7:30am :| I ordered the Combo Silog to try a variety of things. I couldn't find the highly recommended ube pancake on the weekday menu. I later learned that it's only available on weekends, so I'll definitely have to come back for that. The combo came with a pork chop, two eggs cooked to your choice, two types of sausage, a silog with beef filling, and garlic rice. I also added a side of fried chicken. The pork chop and fried chicken were the highlights for me -- both had a thin, crispy batter that tasted great. I ordered my eggs over easy, and they were cooked perfectly: soft, but not too runny. The rest of the plate was solid, though nothing else especially stood out. I did wish substitutions were allowed, but the menu makes it clear they aren't. Overall, Ludi's definitely knows how to cook. The food feels like a tasty fusion of Asian and American breakfast comfort food, and it's hearty enough to keep you full for hours. I ended up skipping lunch. I'd absolutely recommend it, and I'm already looking forward to coming back to try the ube pancake.

The oysters were the main draw for me, and they were totally worth the visit. Old Stove serves them with a savory watermelon sauce in addition to a traditional cocktail sauce--eaten together, it's a flavor explosion that I can't quite describe. We also enjoyed the garlic everything fries, which were delicious! We just had to try a flight to sample the brews. There are some really good beers available here, especially the Belgian blonde, citra pale ale, and the stout. I did not really care for the seasonal sour (grapefruit, I think)--to me, it just tasted like a sour and nothing more, but someone with more interest in sour beers would probably enjoy it just fine. Despite the busy night, our server checked on us regularly and was very personable, stopping to chat with us about the local sports scene. There's plenty to look at, inside and out. If you can snag a seat outside, you'll get to enjoy the waterfront. Inside, the decor is industrial but fun. Not sure if this runs all the time, but when we were there, the tvs were playing vintage beer ads, which was quite fun. They also sell some pretty good t-shirt designs. Overall, Old Stove Brewing is the perfect combo of good location, good food, and good beer. Definitely recommend a visit when in the Pike Place area!

There also was an option to add Beecher's cheese on the eggs, and I'd say it was totally worth it. Most importantly, the Dutch baby was as good as they'd advertised.

The outdoor patio is still there which was a nice addition from 2019/2020 era. Some of their bourbons are still reasonably priced. Their food is pretty good. Would recommend the tacos, the burger, and carne asada. The nachos were not particularly for me, and also seemed to come out cold. Seemed to have cheese sauce instead of actual cheese. It was a cold day however. This place is mainly great for happy hour after work, but will come back and try dinner another time. Staff is great though.

We ended up trying 5 different kind of oysters all sourced locally and they're all just spectacular! Creamy, umami and oh so fresh! Hammersly, Eld Inlet and Cliff point among others. BTW their roasted oysters are also really good - larger size, fresh and juicy not overcooked. Pro tip: The best part is during happy hour from 3-6pm (and also maybe during lunch hours?) they're only $2 each which is a steal! Other than the oysters we also had the smoked black cod which is out of this world and a MUST GET in my book. The seafood assortment called the Pearl Platter if I remember correctly - it is a good way to sample a little bit of everything. It has the smoked black cod, snow crabs, scallops aguachile, shrimps, and oysters. Service is always prompt and friendly. They have cozy indoor seating as well as a patio seating with nice view of the waterfront area. My favorite drink here is the dillenger which is smooth and balanced with a hint of dills. Can get busy at times so book ahead if possible. Located in the quieter section between Pike Place Market and Belltown. Highly recommended. 15 minutes walking from Pioneer Square area.
