Cutwater Tasting Room

Yesterday was my third time to cut water in two weeks. Enjoyed each visit immensely. Love that they change their menu seasonally and love all the menu choices and drink options. Also dig the happy hour offered daily until six.

Kate T was amazing! She explained everything he needed to know and since we were visiting San Diego helped us find entertainment for after lunch. We're already planning to come back next weekend

The happy hour is 1000% worth it. The shredded beef slides were filled with a good portion of protein and you can't beat the drink prices. Everything was great except the server consistently trying to close us out. We were a group of four girls catching up and couldn't help but feel she was trying to get us in and out. I would definitely go again, but if service is the same, I wouldn't recommend it to people trying to enjoy a relaxing, social outing.

We had a wonderful time there!!!! Our Server Taylor was AMAZING!!!!!!! Any and every time I go back we are sitting in her section!!

Came here with some friends from out of town and we had a great experience. They have a lunch special on Monday-Friday that includes a burger and fries plus a can and it was a good amount of food and of course the can of Cutwater was nice and strong! Can't wait to come back with my boyfriend.

We ate here on a Tuesday evening. The place was a little slow, but that was OK. Food choices were somewhat limited for the men in our group who wanted something more substantial. However, the hamburger was great and they were fine with that. We definitely want to come back for The tour of the distillery. 

Good place overall! A little more help from management or crew to an overwhelmed server would really help the flow of service. Would come back tho.

Great service, great drinks & great food. The waitress was very attentive and did an excellent job

We visited Cutwater on Father's Day x 6 people. Our Server, Taylor was very professional yet personable. She gave us a few suggestions which were excellent. The host was also very professional and reviewed my Diner profile. We ended up buying liquor products on the way out to enjoy later. Food was excellent, great day. thank-you

Zoé was our waitress and she was awesome. She attended to us very well and knowledgeable about the food and drinks we will definitely be returning

We got the hamburger lunch special and the burger was delicious! Very juicy. The salad only comes with oil in it so ask for dressing if you want it. My husband got the French fries ans they were yummy. We could have shared the burger, if you're not starving. It's a good size. The special comes with a burger and one canned drink. Not bad for $17.99

Brought a group in for a business lunch, ordered the smash burger which was not even close to a smash burger was just an average hamburger. Have noticed an overall decline in the food there over the past year or so. Great drinks, great ambience but food is so-so. To be fair have seen the same in Ballast Point which is just a few blocks away.

Love this place. Come here very often and always recommend it. The rotating menu and drinks and flights are awesome

Overall, my dining experience at Cutwater in Miramar was pretty average. We ordered a green goddess salad, a Caesar salad with chicken and avocado, grilled cheese and tomato bisque, and habanero chicken wings.

The Caesar salad and the chicken wings were the best things we had. The tomato bisque and grilled cheese were OK, but super simple, and the green goddess wasn’t bad but the textures of the different salad chops were odd and the dressing wasn’t the best.

The service was only OK, too. Our waitress was friendly and talkative, but she only came around a couple of times in the 45 minutes we were there. It’s possible they were understaffed, and it’s also a pretty big restaurant, but it was pretty light on the attention. That said, she did remember all the additions we asked for.

The restaurant and bar themselves are really nice looking, and the building’s exterior also looks pretty cool. So, in terms of design, it’s nice, interesting, and comfortable. Still, it’s weirdly super cold in there.

Final rating:

Service: 3.5/5
Atmosphere: 3.8/5

Really fun place. Especially since I don't drink beer 😉
