    Wedge salad
    Rosemary S.

    Food was really great, Salmon awesome and Halibut amazing. The wedge salad was delicious, service and view beyond words.

    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.

    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.

    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??

    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!

    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!

    I sooo wanted to give Cutters a higher rating because our experience here started fantastic! The restaurant inside is spacious and clean, and there's a beautiful view of the water if you're sat by the window like my family was. Our waiter was super patient and detailed in explaining specials and his own recommendations. The seafood here was fresh! The oysters were delicious, the salmon was cooked so well and weren't even close to being dry, and the crab legs and clams were delectable. But things fell short towards the end when we had a complaint about our bill because they charged us more than what was on the menu for the side of mushrooms. We waited over twenty minutes for the updated bill and while my hubby was eating his bread pudding, he found some sort of parchment paper still left inside. We told our waiter and he waved it off, saying it was a small mistake. I think if we're being charged a lot for food, we shouldn't find inedible things in it. And if we do, an apology should be given. After that, it took our waiter even longer to return our final bill to us. It felt like he was avoiding us. We had spent almost 45 minutes just waiting to pay. The food tasted great but the service just went downhill fast.

    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!

    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!

    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 !

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!

From the moment we entered and my son gave his name for the reservation, I was greeted with happy birthday wishes by the hostesses. His girlfriend met us there, and she was already seated. The table had confetti in celebration of my birthday. I was so impressed and truly honored that someone from The Capital Grille took the time to write me a personal birthday card from the restaurant. WOW! Our server, Antonio (Tonio), was professional, attentive, kind, patient, and fun. He was incredibly accommodating, especially to the member of our party who had a gluten and red bell pepper allergy. He was a major part of making sure our experience was a very memorable one. The food was absolutely delectable! I had the surf and turf with lobster tail and medium-well steak, which was topped with jumbo lump crab meat and rich béarnaise sauce. The other guests dined on Cooper River salmon with risotto, along with seared scallops and lobster risotto. The night ended with the most beautiful surprise, which included a well-decorated plate with "Happy Birthday," a cheesecake topped with burnt sugar, and fruit compote, also a chocolate espresso cake that had my taste buds dancing.

Even without a reservation, we were seated right away. Our server came by quickly, and I ordered an Arnold Palmer because I'd been drinking way too much all week and needed a break. Let me tell you--that was hands down the BEST Arnold Palmer I've ever had! For lunch, I ordered the clam chowder and the NY Strip Frites, served with fries and two dipping sauces. Do I remember the names of those mysterious green sauces? Absolutely not. But what I do know is that I'm not usually a sauce person, and by the end of the meal, I was scraping every last bit off my plate. They were that good! Everything was delicious, the service was fantastic, and the atmosphere was welcoming despite our very casual appearance. I'll definitely be back on my next trip so I can experience even more of the menu. And one last thing: as we were leaving, they handed us these tiny candies that packed a surprisingly huge punch of flavor. I'm still kicking myself for not getting the name of them--or any of the sauces, for that matter. If the staff happens to read this, just know that when I come back, I'm heading straight for that candy bowl. No shame whatsoever!

This colored the perception of my meal greatly unfortunately. I love how they included flaky salt with their house bread. The house bread was very pretty as it had a pattern from the banneton. Lighter in texture though, without much of a crispy crust. The Classic Caesar Salad was great. Not many places include whole anchovy fillets. The lettuce was crisp, and the croutons crunchy! It was light dressed and included a grilled lemon half if you wanted more flavor. Very refreshing. The ribeye was very tender and flavorful. There was the perfect sear on it, and while I didn't know how long it was aged, it clearly met the goal of increasing the complexity of the meaty flavor. It was super beefy, and the fat was so tender. No gristle here! The asparagus spears were the largest I've ever seen, yet they were still tender. I'm not sure I would return or recommend this place due to the service. A shame.

But you never get less than outstanding service when you walk into the ZigZag Café. Starts from the top with the owner and filters all the way through the bartenders, servers, and the hostesses. I tried the passionfruit colada and shifted to a whiskey sour with egg whites. Outstanding was the Burrata with yummy fried garlicky lentils, sweet heirloom tomatoes garnished with a generous springy of micro greens and drizzled with a glorious balsamic reduction...and chewy, thick slices of grilled sourdough. Perfection. Bartenders Eli and Ricky were top-notch de rigueur-- this place only has the best bartenders (including the legendary Murray ruled the bar for an era ) -- and Hannah was the hostess with the mostest. Every time I left my seat at the bar I would come back to the folded napkin. Simply amazeballs when the place is so packed. Because it was a Sunday night there was an amazing jazz trio. They started at eight and went through 1030. Not too loud so we couldn't speak but sultry and rich and soulful with joy. No cover charge -- just all part of the extraordinary hospitality that exemplifies the iconic ZigZag.
