- EEmmaWashington, D.C. Area •1 review5.0Dined 3 days agoI celebrated my birthday here and had an amazing experience! The staff was friendly, the atmosphere was lively, and the music was fantastic. This restaurant is perfect for a birthday celebration, with a diverse crowd that created a great vibe. The food was delicious—we loved the appetizers—and the drinks were strong, so we didn’t need many. I highly recommend it!More infoThe Park at 14thPrice: Expensive• Contemporary American• Downtown•4.7

The menu selection is okay and definitely paying higher prices for the view. I ordered the salmon and it was just okay.More infoSkydome RestaurantPrice: Moderate• Contemporary American• Arlington•4.2

- WWilliamVIPWashington, D.C. Area •11 reviews5.0Dined on Dec 26, 2024Christmas evening, joined by wife and sister, we dined at the Cut for the first time. Despite high expectations, we were in no way disappointed. Our dining experience validated the consistent praise and accolades that we had been hearing from our “foody friends” and fine-dining aficionados. The food and beverage offerings on the evening’s 3 course fixed-price menu were broad, qualitative, and diverse, the cuisine nicely presented and delicious, and the service impeccable (Pink was our wait-server). GREAT ambiance and decor as well. Nicely done. Congratulations and thank all of you for providing a memorable holiday dining experience!! Already looking forward to our encore. Best wishes for The Cut’s continued success. Bill Keppler Alexandria, VA and find Dining aficionados.More infoCUT by Wolfgang PuckPrice: Very Expensive• Contemporary American• Georgetown•4.5
