Diner beware! We arrived 45 mins early to grab drinks at the bar. The hostess was very rude when we entered and acted like our arrival had completely inconvenienced her. It was 5:30 and the restaurant was almost empty! Our dinner service was rushed and the hostess kept coming by with an iPad to update tables. This practice is very distracting and makes it difficult to enjoy your dining experience. Our food was average; waiter was fine. When we left, the same hostess gave us a curt, sarcastic BYE on the way out. She was unprofessional from start to finish--literally. We are lucky to live in a city with many fabulous restaurants and we will take our family and friends out to them, not Montlake Cut. We had a very sub-par, disappointing evening.

Cute and cozy restaurant, meal and service were excellent. Generous portion of crab with a perfectly prepared bistro steak frites plate. Wahoo was delicious and fresh. scallops were buttery. This is a hidden gem worth finding.

We enjoyed our dinner as always. In fact it was our anniversary and they gave us champagne to celebrate. That was a nice touch! It is a great place for fresh fish!
