We ordered several dishes, the only one that was “tasty” was the eggplant. The sushi and tuna tartare have so much rice that whatever taste you have in the protein is missed with the rice. The other pasta dishes ordered were not great either. For the price you are expecting a good balance of flavors, not this bland experience. The drinks, service, and ambiance were very nice. I would go back for drinks. Save your money, there are so many good places to eat in DC.

What a fun way to spend Easter morning. We were greeted by baskets with little toys and an absolutely amazing dessert bar. We enjoyed everything, especially the ‘'lemon'' and ‘' cherry'' desserts. What a treat!
Excellent location, beautiful design and decor. Had show me love cocktail, pretzel rolls, butter lettuce salad, filet mignon, and caviar pierogis. The food is very good quality but not on par with the exorbitant prices. Tried three desserts and they were all below mid to just plain bad. The chocolate soufflé was clumpy in texture and bland in taste, overpowered by the salted caramel ice cream and the chocolate sauce tasted sour. The apple tarte tatin pastry was dry and did not feel cohesive with the apples, which were not hard but also not fully cooked. The basque cheesecake was too runny and extremely sour tasting, by far the worst example of its kind that I have ever had.

Service was great. My ribeye was tough and after 2 bites, I sent it back. The manager was very accommodating and offered something else, which I declined. The Bibb salad was really good, but a bit overdressed.

CUT did not skip a beat. From the moment we entered the restaurant until the time we left, we were in awe about the detail and love that went into creating these recipes. Balanced and just impeccably perfect. Bravo to the CUT team. We will definitely be back.

Food was perfection - carrots were off the charts! Nebraska filet - divine! And the service was even better than the food - Abdel and Gonzalvo were so welcoming, personable, hospitable and friendly - a genuine bonus!!

It expensive but not more so than some local steak places that don't come close. I much rather spend my money for overall best steak in DC! Excellent service. Highly recommended. ??

Terrible experience. We had a noisy table next to us configured with dozens of tacky electric tea lights, a neon sign, 2 bright light stands, 2 cameramen, a videographer, and an event planner noisily setting up for 2.5hrs during our Valentine's Day dinner. Asked our waiter what was going on. She was clueless. 3 managers stood in the corner and refused to address the situation with the distracting and noisy set up or check in on guests throughout the meal. Almost as if they were embarassed themselves.

Everything was great. Second time here and loved it. Service and food were great. We were there for my birthday back in December, and now for my husband's birthday. We will be back for sure!
The food, service and vibe were all spectacular. The food was a bit more expensive per ounce of meat, then other similar steakhouses in DC. If your celebrating or just want something consistent and delicious this is the place. I will be back

We celebrated my boyfriend's birthday at Cut and had an amazing experience. From the time we walked in the restaurant each staff we encountered greeted us on our way to the table. Our server was Oscar, who was knowledgeable and attentive. We both ordered the rib eye steak which was seasoned to perfection! We both throughly enjoyed our meal together. The macaroni and cheese was delicious, I highly recommend! The ambiance in the restaurant was perfect. We ended the night with a nightcap at the roof top bar. Gio the bartender was friendly and fun. The views from the rooftop were beautiful!

Cut is my "go to" restaurant when I want nothing to go wrong. The food is terrific and service first class - but the vibe and ambiance in the place is unbeatable. It is as if you are in a swank Manhattan club - and it is 4 blocks from my house.
Shockingly low level of service given the price point. I've dined here several times and this was the most disappointing. Had a reservation but was seated for dinner in the lounge area, not the dining room. I definitely felt as though I wasn't dining at the same restaurant and didn't receive the same level of service and attentiveness as those in the adjacent main dining room. A large table adjacent overwhelmed the staff as the lounge was not properly staffed and set up for a full dinner service. There were a number of major service mishaps including my main course going to the wrong table, sitting for several minutes at said table, and picked up and then delivered straight to my table as if it came freshly from the kitchen. This was a major faux pas with no attempt to acknowledge the mistake from anyone. I didn't make a scene, and there was no manager visible anyway, as they were occupied with... the main dining room. Unacceptable.
