I'm so sad to leave this review as I have been coming here for over 30 years. My family and I attempted to dine here last night. The hostess was very kind and accommodating to my young family. The waiter greeted us with annoyance and an eye role when he saw my son (2) and daughter (4). When he, finally, took our drink (and kids dinner) order, he made me repeat our daughter's order as if he didn't hear her (she orders her meals independently regularly). He looked at me in annoyance and said "was I supposed to follow that." Upon me reciting what my daughter just said, he scoffed and walked off without a word. My husband and I were left in absolute shock by being treated in such distain for being patrons at this restaurant. We were clearly unwelcome. We decided to leave. I do understand we have young children and perhaps they were a bit louder than their usual patrons. BUT, this is a customer service establishment and to leave a customer feeling so uncomfortable they have no choice but to leave, is unacceptable. It's a bummer to have a hugely negative experience at a restaurant that holds so many great memories. I will no longer dine at this restaurant or recommend it. read more

What a great meal. First off, thank you to our server James (Shamp), he did a great job of taking care of us. We had a great table at the windows. The view of the water is fantastic. The food came out quickly, and it was delicious. The filet was cooked perfectly to order. It was seasoned well. The mashed potatoes were next level! Buttery and smooth. The Baja King Salmon was amazing. Tender and juicy! The meal was one of the highlights of our day! Great location, great service, great food! read more

Our drinks and appetizers were excellent, but the entrees were quite boring and overly expensive. I had a smoked bourbon which was so incredibly good and fun to watch them prepare tableside. The crab and artichoke dip was also very good and they give you plenty to share. For dinner, I had the grilled seafood trio for $39.50 an it included a smallish piece of salmon, a few shrimp, a couple of scallops, and a small pile of veggies. It was good but nothing really stood out about it, so I felt ripped off for that price. A friend had the fish and chips and really liked it, but others were a little disappointed with what they got for the price. I get that this is a Landry's place and so the decor was neat, the location great, and the service was excellent. I think in hindsight we would have been better off eating dinner earlier at a smaller local place, but unfortunately most everything around the Pike Market closes around 5pm. read more

Great views and great service , food was descent Went to dinner with a few colleagues and had a great time - we started with the mussels in Moroccan sauce which was a bit spicy and rich , overall very food (4/5) We also ordered the shrimps on a skewer which was a special , they were also very fresh and juicy 4.5/5 I ordered the fish and chips and my entry which was ok - the fish felt fresh but the overall portion was quite small . The French fries were just meh. 3.5/5 I also ordered a mojito which was not bad at all 4/5 My first impression was more of a tourist trap but it ended up being a descent meal . Prices are on the high side but not super expensive read more

I was in town for work and wanted to try a place near my hotel, but on the waterfront. I found Cutter's Crabhouse and was glad I made the decision to eat here. The view of the harbor is fantastic from most any seat in the place. The decor is nice in the dining area and comfortable in the bar area to give a relaxing feel. Service from Benjamin was entertaining and fun! He knew the menu, had great recommendations and drink service was above bar (pun intended). I had my customary old fashioned, which was really good. We started with Calamari, which was lightly breaded and fried, served with an aioli and cocktail sauce. Fantastic! I had the King Salmon, blackened, with asparagus, mashed potatoes and mushrooms. The salmon was amazing with a buttery texture that complemented the blackened seasonings. The mashed potatoes were thick and delicious and the asparagus and mushrooms did not disappoint. Truly great spot to visit. I went twice this week! read more

Cutters Crabhouse - Blackened King Salmon with asparagus, potatoes and mushrooms - Seafood Near Me - Seattle, Washington

1:30 on a Friday and extremely understaffed. So much that it was a 30 minute wait just to sit at bar and order a glass of wine. Unbelievable. In a high tourist area, I would have expected better. read more

Food and service with Ethan was fantastic. Salmon, Mahi mahi, and oysters were so good .

Amazing select oysters. Waiter Ethan did an amazing job. Top tier service, how it should always be done. We will definitely be back.

Ethan was a great server! Food was delicious, view was beautiful, and we enjoyed our meal.

Ethan was an excellent server food was nice and enjoyed the atmosphere. Cutters was a wonderful representation of Seattle.

The ambience and food were incredible. I would highly recommend dining here. The crab cakes, chicken sandwich, salmon belts and the fish and chips were amazing. I highly recommend. The food was worth every penny. read more

Great food located on a hill overlooking the harbor. Service is excellent. Recommended. So good we went there twice!

Amazing experience. Amazing recommendations from our waitress Ethan. He was super attentive and proactive with whatever needed. Will be coming back :) read more

We walked into Cutters Crabhouse with our children and accidentally entered the bar area. The host (manager?) was rude while shooing my wife and son out. Nobody was at the front of the restaurant, it was clearly a mistake, and he could have been more tactful. After we found our party in the restaurant, she asked him if we could sit at an empty table next to them. This second interaction wasn't great either. We waited at the table, nobody came to take our order. We didn't feel welcome so left. They have a nice view of the Puget Sound and the restaurant is close to Pike Place Market, but after the weird experience today we won't be coming back. read more

Made a reservation for 830 PM - restaurant closed at 9;00 PM. We arrived a few minutes ahead of our reservation and were turned away. The host indicated that he didn't think they could handle a group our size - 5 people - and didn't understand how we were able to make a reservation. The place was nearly empty.... Tables everywhere,... and then he said "the bartenders are just trying to get things cleaned up" - what???? You are still open-very rude. Told him I was going to leave a negative review - response was "go ahead" Bottom line - Sunday night and they want to go home....followed us outside and started taking down all signage, etc. if you are going to do that, then close earlier.... read more

Ethan had really good customer service. Food was awesome. Highly recommend!! Will come back next time I come to Seattle

Fine, but lacking. The food was expensive and unimpressive, including the chowder. Once you've been to one seafood restaurant here, they all seem to be the same. None is exceptional. read more

Ethan was amazing!! My Chilean sea bass was delicious. Bf had filet and shrimp which was little dry. Overall a great experience on Valentines. read more

Was surprisingly pleased with this restaurant! It was massive inside and even though it was packed with tourists, we had a quiet booth in the back and the food was delicious. Had to wait a little for service because the place was understaffed. Great option for a restaurant near Pike Place. read more

Came here on a whim straight from the airport on business travel seeking a good place for steamed Alaskan King Crab legs. I found the menu outside Cutter's storefront and looked good. From the outside looking in, Cutter's looked like a nice spot to relax after walking spot to spot along The Pike only to encounter overly crowded restaurants. Walked in and seated right away. The restaurant was fairly empty during early Sunday afternoon. I knew what I wanted so Red Alaskan King Crab it is. Comes with herbed couscous, seasoned veggies, butter and lemon. Served steamed which is the way I like having crab served, this 1 pound serving wasn't prepared for easy de-shelling. This crab leg was thorny as hell. Wasn't split or slit down the middle. For $110 for a pound, you figure the chef would do some work. The legs weren't as thick as I expected and lots of shell. Also, tasted a bit dry. I asked for more seasoned veggies and skipped the couscous, but the serving was still skimpy. Tax, tip, iced tea. About $150 for appetizer size dish. Not worth the visit. Service here is about average. The manager was kind enough to give me another cloth towel for de-shelling the crab legs. The only thing I did enjoy here was the view from the restaurant. Great view of the Sound and the cruise ships close by. read more

James, our server, is amazing! Loved the atmosphere and vibe of the place. Food was delicious! I had the dungeness crab, crab and artichoke dip, and calamari. read more

Service was spectacular and the seared crab cakes were delicious. The wine selections from the Colombia Valley are suberb, especially Sauvignon Blanc. Next time in Seattle, worth going especially if you visit Pikes Market read more

A great option around the bustling Pike place that has been consistent over my several visits. I have not found a favorite on the menu yet but continue to sample different fare on each visit. I keep hoping for a signature dish to try but most for my selections have been a strong 3. That said, the ambiance is uptown to match the great service. The views on a nice day are hard to beat and the kitchen has been notably quick to turn order's read more

Wow! We stopped in twice during our trip. Early in the day on 2/17/24 we sat at the bar and had exceptional service from Heather the bar tender. She was a delight and made unbelievably delicious cocktails. No crowd midday on a Saturday which was awesome! Because the service was so good we decided to make a dinner reservation for that night. The restaurant hostess accommodated and saved us a table by the water! I ordered the seared ahi and a bowl of clam chowder and it was so good. The views along the water windows are serene and beautiful!! Waiter was kind and we had very fast and attentive service. Overall excellent experience here and will return! read more

Beautiful restaurant with excellent views! The staff was very nice and helpful. I had the lunch special and I have to say it was nice to have a decently priced lunch in this area. I had the open faced crab cake sandwich with a wedge salad and couple oysters. So the crab cake sandwich was pretty good- however, while it tasted good, there was almost no crab in this. It was mostly cream, cheese and artichokes. It seems like they take the dip and put it in a sandwich. I hoped that being in Seattle I'd get some crab, but there was almost none in it. The wedge salad was tasty and done well, kind of small considering they up charge you for it. So while it's tasty this crab cake sandwich totally missed the mark! I had a couple of each of the oysters and they brought me delight! Perfectly shucked. (Although I did have to remind my server to bring them). Also- the iced tea was so watered down, it was basically water, I wouldn't normally care except they charged 5.50!! For watered down iced tea! I would try this place again but I'd skip the crab cakes and tea.I'd love to see the crab cake mostly composed of crab and I'd give that another shot, though. read more

We came here for our wedding anniversary. It was a nice quiet weeknight, so we had the place almost to ourselves. The waiter was so nice. He took a picture for us and brought us a free dessert for our anniversary. All the food was excellent. This is an excellent place to go for a special occasion. read more

Always a decent choice when dining around the tourist area in Seattle. Food was excellent except for my shrimp that was a little too cooked so it was tough. Can even tell it is from looking at. The cheese curds was the best I've had. Customer service was on point as well. read more

Food was fabulous. Service by James our server was impeccable and ambiance was stunning. This is becoming our go-to for seafood in Seattle. We like that it's down still with views of the water and wheel. read more

It was lunchtime and being from out of town we were looking for some fresh seafood. As we walked up to Cutters and about to enter, we noticed a Sysco truck making a delivery. Part of that delivery were cases of canned clam chowder. Canned clam chowder at what appears to be an upscale restaurant??? We moved on to Plan B. I can easily open a can of soup at home. You should be ashamed of yourself. read more

We had a long layover in Seattle so we went down to Pike Market Place and came across this restaurant nearby. We had a beautiful view and the service was good. It wasn't too busy, but started to pick up after we got seated. Daniel was our server and he was sweet, engaging and attentive. I ordered half a dozen of seasonal oysters and it was delightful. I got the lobster and shrimp pasta which was so yummy, it was better than I expected. My partner ordered a burger and fries. It came with this sweet and sour sauce or jelly, it was unique and flavorful. I'd definitely come back here again when I'm in town. My only regret is not getting an Espresso Martini. read more

Food and service was poor. Our over $80 meal was not good. We waited for our food for about 40 minutes and it came out a little cold. Mediocre at best fish and chips for my husband and rubber prawns with a tablespoon of crab fettuccine pasta for me. Our server was new, asked how the food was and I said "not great" and he promptly walked away. The other bar tender ignored my 3 uneaten prawns and also said nothing. No one asked if I wanted a box even though the prawns are the primary ingredient of the dish. I should have asked to speak to a manager or talked to the server but it's not my job. I would think they'd have more at a somewhat expensive steak and seafood restaurant. Positive: the view. Cons: just skip it. read more

We came here for Christmas Day so take this review as it is. The food was a major disappointment, but the service was fantastic. Shrimp was way overcooked, mashed potatoes were garbage, and the fettuccine was overcooked and watery. Not sure if this place is better other days, but I won't come back for Christmas. read more
