    We went here for my birthday and loved everything about the experience. From the moment we set foot in the restaurant the staff engaged with our kids and was constantly checking to make sure all was OK. The ambience was intimate and not too noisy. Every dish was amazing - I could cut the filet mignon with a butter knife and the kids ate it all. My salmon was perfectly cooked and I loved the sweet potato/ginger puree. The oysters, sashimi, and salad were all tasty. Drinks were a nice take on some classics and well-balanced. The special mandarin mouse with sesame seed ice cream was surprisingly good. We will definitely be coming back!

    I find the food in Seattle to be incredibly underwhelming so I was a bit leery about going to yet another restaurant in the city. I am glad I did because the food at Cutters was fantastic. This is the first restaurant I have ever been to in Seattle that I would actually go back to (and happily) The food, service, ambiance, and view are all terrific.

    Service was slow (dinner took 3 hours), but the waitstaff was pleasant and helpful. We were not in a hurry, so the leisurely pace was ok. We sat right in front of the hostess stand, and she seemed angry, and we felt like she was glaring at us all night. It may be that she was angry about the slow service, but we felt her wrath. The food and wine was very good, and the waitstaff was friendly and capable. We had a wonderful time and enjoyed our dinner very much except for the disapproving hostess.
