Came here for summer restaurant week lunch. We've been to other restaurants by Wolfgang Puck so wanted to try this one. The restaurant is inside the boutique hotel Rosewood. The bar and dining room are fair sized and well appointed, have a private and intimate vibe. There is a narrow row of outdoor seating by the canal. Dining room has half round banquette seating which can seat four but are great for two. The RW menu has two or three courses. Both Butter lettuce and Caesar salads are very good, as well as the beef bolognese. For dessert I had the flan - I always have the flan when offered - and unfortunately it was disappointing. Very dense and gelatinous, creamy but not in a light way whereas my preference is the soft buttery creamy type. The cookie pieces stuck on the flan's very good however making me wish that I'd ordered the cookie (although not sure it would be the same kind) instead. In any case the 4 star rating is reflective of the unsatisfactory dessert. read more

I love this restaurant. I love the masculine, romantic setting. I love seeing the Chefs cooking and the service is over the top. My favorite dish especially as a vegetarian is the corn tortellini. I also love their cheese as well as the pea version. The macaroni and cheese is sinful in a good way. My husband and my Father get steaks which they both say are amazing. I wouldn't do justice in explaining how good the desserts are. I'll just say that I dream of the chocolate soufflé and my Dad still talks about the apple dessert. This is one of our go to places. read more

4.5 stars. I don't know that I'd go the full 5 because our experience wasn't perfect, but to be honest, I'm surprised reviews aren't higher. We went for lunch on a Friday afternoon and enjoyed it so much that we decided to go back for brunch the next day. Both meals were great. The Friday lunch was lovely. It was a beautiful day in Georgetown. The restaurant was fairly empty for a Friday, and they could have used one extra server (we waited a bit to receive menus, water, order, etc.) but the waiter (David) was friendly. The only knock on service was when I ordered my sparkling wine (they feature their own label of Thibaut-Janisson) mine was pretty flat - something a good server probably should have noticed. But, no harm, no foul - I pointed it out and they were happy to replace it. We enjoyed both of our lunches - my husband loves schnitzel, so that was a real treat for him, and I really enjoyed my fish sandwich. As I mentioned, we enjoyed it so much we went for brunch the next day and let me tell you, that "Georgetown local" special is a total steal. You get a ton of food (and they let you take leftovers home). You get started with fruit and yogurt, a salad, more fruit, and assorted breads and jams and jellies (the green tomato jam was so unique) and then you can choose from a select set of entrees. I did the salmon potato hash and absolutely loved it, and my husband loved his hash cake. As I mentioned, lunch was good, but brunch was even better. Service at brunch was better than lunch (more servers, and ours was excellent). Makes me intrigued to potentially try dinner there... read more

Was here back in May, extremely disappointing. The service and food were bland. My bf ordered a stead medium rare, it was served medium well. At one point the waiter noticed and offered to have it redone but we had already waited long enough for our order. Not worth the cost, will not return. read more

It's a typical Georgetown spot, nicely appointed with overpriced cocktails. We stopped by before catching a movie nearby, and sat at bar. We didn't indulge, but was neat to see the fresh seafood available for, what I assume to be, their sushi menu. The service is lacking from the moment you enter, the first impression hostess stand never greeted me, upon entering or exiting, leaving me to wander around and find my way. It's unfortunately a theme it seems for other patrons as well. I wouldn't return to the restaurant itself, but look forward to warmer weather to make to the rooftop (and hopefully new hosting staff) read more

I went to CUT last night for Restaurant Week and was pleasantly surprised. I had fairly low expectations going in, as it's a hotel restaurant, but overall the food was quite enjoyable. The pretzel bread with mustard butter was served warm and tasted very fresh. I started with the butter lettuce salad, which was crisp and light, an ideal way to begin the meal. For my entrée, I ordered the wagyu Bolognese. While the flavors were fine, it was just okay overall, and the portion size was quite small. For dessert, I had the churros, which were decent, though the soufflé we saw looked fantastic. Service, unfortunately, was just okay. We waited about five minutes at the hostess stand and were only partially acknowledged, which felt awkward. Throughout the meal, we also had to flag down servers multiple times to request items, and it wasn't easy to get their attention. The ambiance, however, was cozy and inviting, especially inside with the rounded booths. Overall, CUT exceeded my expectations food-wise, but the service could use improvement. read more

Amazing service and good. Cannot recommend enough. Great for date night or celebration or catching up.

Verdict: Recommends for Afternoon tea (but come with a sweet tooth) Located inside the Rosewood hotel I checked out Cut by Wolfgang Puck for their spring Afternoon tea. For those unfamiliar, afternoon tea is typically served in three parts: savory, scones and then sweets/cakes. At Cut, they had a trio of sandwiches for their savory course: a smoked trout and cucumber sandwich, a lobster roll, and an egg salad croissant. All of the sandwiches were delicious. They served both golden raisin and lemon zest scones with clotted cream, honey and jam. The scones were not too dense and paired well with the clotted cream and the jam. For the sweet course they served Madelines, a pineapple and passion fruit tart, a meringue based dessert and a dark chocolate mousse base dessert. Overall I enjoyed all aspects of the afternoon tea. The servers were attentive and they took the time to explain each part of the afternoon tea menu. My only critiques were that the menu leaned very sweet. At other afternoon tea options I have been to there is more of a balance between the sweet and savory options; however, at cut the savory options being served at a different time than the sweet options made the sweetness of everything else overwhelming by the end. My second critique would be I wish they had more incentive tea flavors. Some other afternoon teas I've been to that have the theme of spring have selections like Lavender Earl Grey, or Cherry blossom themed tea etc. At Cut, the tea selection was extensive but with mostly basic flavors like English Breakfast, Lemon Ginger, Darjeeling etc. not a lot of flavored teas to match the season. I really I still had a good experience and would do tea here again. read more

Came here for Restaurant week in February 2025. It's priced at $65 a person which is a great value considering how expensive their regular menu is. All of the items in the RW menu are on their dinner menu. The interior is classy not modern like their Vegas location. Cocktails range from $20-$30 each so it can really add up fast. Valet parking is $25. We all enjoyed most of the dishes though the rockfish was a tad overcooked. I would definitely get the American Wagyu Bavette au Poivre Frites, the Basque Style Cheesecake and Dark Chocolate Soufflé again. Been to the Vegas location couple of times and that one is a tad better. I'll come back to try their regular dinner menu though. read more

We celebrated our one year anniversary at CUT, and the food did not disappoint. The quality of the steaks were the finest, the shoe string truffle fries was a must, and the dessert (complimentary chocolate mousse and churros) were a nice indulgent touch. Knocking down a star due to service - at first, service was attentive but midway through, the waitress had too many customers at once - we had to ask for water a few times. The kitchen operated a bit slow (took us 30-40 mins to get our entrees), which was disappointing given that we were there for a bit too long! Given how expensive this restaurant is, I would expect service and kitchen timing to be impeccable. read more

I've had nothing but fantastic experiences at CUT DC. I've been twice for dinner and once for breakfast, all while as a guest at the Rosewood Hotel. It's beautiful and tasteful, with a lovely patio and elegant bar. It's a comfortable and relaxed experience, yet still refined. Service has always been outstanding. For breakfast, I had coffee, French toast, and bacon, all of which made for a good, hearty morning meal. For my evening meals, I've had a variety of items and one cocktail, the rum-based Start Me Up, a delicious passion fruit concoction. Meals have consisted of halibut, mac and cheese, Maine lobster pasta, bread basket, winter citrus salad, and pineapple vacherin. Halibut is always a favorite, and this was paired with carrot curry, pea shoot, Thai basil, and lime leaf oil, and it was delicate yet flavorful. The bread basket is delectable and a must-order. The lobster pasta has plenty of lobster, which is great. I think the stand out for me has been the winter citrus and burrata salad, which has castelfranco, rosa del veneto, wildflower honey, and fennel pollen. It's a gorgeous bed of citrus and vegetables for the burrata. It's the most beautiful and delicious salad I've ever tasted. I am completely obsessed. I appreciate the seasonal changes to the menu and I am really looking forward to returning to CUT DC. read more

CUT was not a bad experience by any means; however, as compared to other steakhouses in the city, it is not the greatest nor would it be my first choice. We were seated promptly at our reservation time. Love a restaurant that is timely! The decor was your typical steakhouse repertoire -- glass wine encasings, classy/beautiful seating, dim lighting, etc. I ordered the Hamachi Sashimi as my appetizer and their fish with rice. I also tried their burger and steak. The Hamachi Sashimi was amazing. I don't recall the name of the sauce, but it was delish! I wanted more. I would go back for that. The fish with jasmine rice sat in a sweet curry-based sauce. I cleaned it. No complaints. The ribeye fell a bit short for me. It didn't have the succulent, juicy, robust flavor I am used to. It could have been executed better. The burger was also tasty. So, I was going to rate CUT as a 3 -- but, it's closer to 3.5-3.75...so I guess with rounding, a 4 it is. Oh! There's valet and CUT is located inside the Rosewood Hotel in Georgetown. Cheers read more

So I came here for restaurant week and what can I say? This place is so good! Pretzel bread was so good my friend had to order another one! So a great start. Everyone else was going dry January so they enjoyed the mocktails but for me if I'm paying $16 (how much the mocktails are) it needs to have some punch to it. Also the featured restaurant week cocktails were 15... I think I got a Long Island. Group ordered the butter lettuce salad- clean tasting I loved. You can get the bluefin tuna but if for r week be mindful of how add ons can impact that restaurant week price. The Ceasar was a favorite as well. Second course: I got the wagyu bolognese and it slapped! The rockfish was also super good! My friend got the crab rice which she enjoyed and of course someone got the steak (up charge as well). And all of us loved our food. Really enjoyed the rockfish. We ordered all desserts from the r week so churros, cheesecake and soufflé. We have no complaints about the foood at all! All the food is good- make sure if they are busy you double check what was ordered. Thought I ordered a Long Island but yeah... cocktails are like 18-27 ish? Be prepared for that. Still water is $10, sparking water 10$ by the bottle so be mindful of that. Ordering more pretzel bread is gonna cost you like $4 so agains be mindful. The place is cute they didn't rush us out and honestly no issues there! Stop here! read more

CUT by Wolfgang Puck - A Name with Prestige, but a Service Letdown (3-/5) We chose CUT by Wolfgang Puck for our July 4th dinner -- a special evening before heading out to catch the fireworks in D.C. The restaurant, located inside the Rosewood Hotel in the heart of Georgetown, carries a big reputation, and we were genuinely excited to dine there. First impressions were promising -- we were greeted by the doorman and welcomed by the host. The space has a classic, elegant look -- not overly modern, but stylish and well put together. However, once seated, things started to go sideways. We were placed at a small square table for two by the window. Considering how much food and drinks we were planning to order, we felt the space was tight. I noticed several larger tables and booths open, so we kindly asked to be moved. The host told us it would be a busy night, but at the time (around 5:45 PM), there were maybe 4-5 tables occupied in the entire restaurant. She offered another table -- still small. Finally, after asking our server, we were moved to a more comfortable spot. But even by the time we left around 7:15 PM, many of those larger tables and booths remained empty. That part left a bad taste before dinner even began. Now, on to the good stuff: the food was excellent. * Oysters were fresh and briny. * The tuna sashimi was a big surprise -- beautifully prepared, no fishy smell, and almost a meaty, umami flavor like dry-aged beef. * We ordered the Australian Wagyu ribeye and lobster pasta -- both cooked perfectly. The steak was juicy and tender, and the pasta had that fresh, handmade texture with a tomato sauce that was sweet, tangy, and full of flavor. * We paired it with a bottle of Textbook Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa -- smooth, well-balanced, and a great match for the meal. The food truly lived up to the name. Unfortunately, the service didn't. Despite the restaurant being less than a third full, there seemed to be only two servers working the entire floor. Service was slow and disorganized. It took too long when we asked for the dessert menus, and by the time someone returned to take our order, we had to skip it so we wouldn't miss the fireworks. Even getting the check was a chore -- I eventually had to get up and track someone down just to pay. We came here expecting a polished fine dining experience -- and while the food delivered, the lack of attention, delayed service, and inflexibility from the host were major disappointments. If this had been a casual place, I might've brushed it off. But at a restaurant of this caliber, service should be seamless, not frustrating. I'm giving it three stars out of courtesy for the food and ambiance, but based on service alone, it honestly felt more like a one-star experience. read more

Food was incredible! The space is very pretty and has lots of seating options. Definitely get the filet, you won't be disappointed! read more

Folks with food allergies, BEWARE! In a huge way. I have celiac. Made abundantly clear to waiter, clarified safety/ingredients of menu choices--and literally was served breadcrumbs--and not the gluten free variety. Waiter was entirely clueless/clearly did not grasp the gravity. Manager far more concerned/apologetic. But wholly unacceptable and very dangerous. If you have anaphylactic reactions, I most certainly would steer clear. Full stop. Outrageous, really. read more

Two years between visits and, wow, prices have significantly increased. 50% higher I'd guess. Two people, each with an appetizer and main, $85 bottle of wine, and no dessert -- $500 with tip. Ouch. Artisanal Bread -- the rosemary & tomato foccacia was excellent but there wasn't much of it. Maybe it's good w didn't fill up on bread. Bluefin Tuna Sashimi - exceptionally fresh. Wish there was a low sodium version of the soy. Hamachi Sashimi -- eh. Was disappointing and a very small portion. Filet Mignon -- Ordered medium rare plus and it was perfectly cooked. Very tender. Heavy hand on the salt. Tomahawk Ribeye -- 40 ounces counting the bone and a distressing number of fatty pieces. This dish (and the price) is the main reason I dropped from 4 to 3 stars. A large wine list at surprisingly decent prices. Service was solid but not amazing. Cut is good. At these prices it should be great. read more

This little hidden gemof a restaurant! Ambiance is elegant, classy, and inviting! Much larger than you would expect for a restaurant in Georgetown and quite comfortable! Juan was our server and he knew the menu backwards, forward, up, down! He was quite specific in his suggestions. Inquiring as to the level of our appetite and what we generally had a taste for. All of his suggestions were spot on. The food was meh as an overall experience. Each dish was served at the appropriate temperature, a beautiful presentation and arrived to the table in a timely manner. Appetizer: The salmon and avocado sushi was wonderful. I could've eaten four plates of those! The sushi was rolled very large which was a challenge that I happily took on! The rice was warm and soft and the Nori was perfect! I requested spicy mayo, which did not come with it, but it was served with soy sauce. Again, I could've had an entire dinners worth of it! Entree: My crab fried rice was a generous portion and a lovely egg tortilla. Unfortunately, it was incredibly salty so much so that I really could not taste the crab. I would order it again to give it a second chance though. My companion had the Wagyu fillet which he said was definitely a nine out of 10! He chose the broccolini as the side and it was really good. Be careful though because if you don't want Parmesan, it automatically comes with it and unfortunately, we had to send it back because we were not aware of that. We did not order Wine nor cocktails, but I feel pretty confident that they would've been paired nicely with our meals. The ambience really made this a wonderful place to dine. Plus velvet seating warm lights, a gentle atmosphere that made you feel at these with exceptional service. I look forward to coming back here again, but I may only get appetizers. read more

Attended a birthday party here. I was greeted by the hostesses who took my coat and escorted me to the elevator. They were so very friendly and chatty. Loved it! We started on the rooftop. It was exclusive and great ambiance. The service was great. Never an empty glass. We then moved down to the dining room. The ambiance is romantic. The menu was preset with a few options. I got the mushroom tortellini which melted in my mouth. Then I got the steak, of course. I requested melted blue cheese on top and they got it right! Dessert was yummy too. The side of Mac and cheese was delicious too. My friends had provided the "decorations" which were beautiful ripe fruits and vegetables. It added to the ambiance. Service again was amazing. Highly recommend! I want to return for a dinner. read more

There are certain restaurants where based off of reputation, you have high expectations- and CUT was one of those for me. When I entered the restaurant, there was no one at the host stand, and I had to wait over 5mins before someone came. Not a big deal... But also, for the price point and calibre of restaurant, I expected more. We were seated at a table near the floor to ceiling window in the main dining area, which was nice. I do wish however that there was a little more lighting; not only to be able read the menu better, but also to see the beautiful presentation of the food more. If you love steak, this will be a great restaurant choice for you. You'll have options such as Japanese Wagu New York Sirloin, Bone in New York Steak and Filet Mignon etc. However, for guests with dietary practices such as vegans and vegetarians, I would consider the menu as quite limited. I eat just about everything, but I too wish there had been more selections/variety with the menu. As a conscious consumer, and working within sustainability , I LOVE that everything is locally and sustainably sourced. With information on the menu detailing which farm the produce is sourced from. The cocktails and mocktails that we tried were delicious!!! And I would highly recommend Pins & Needles (a gin based cocktail), Au Pair (a whiskey based cocktail), and a mocktail which passion fruit and mint (which I unfortunately can't remember the name of). read more

My new favorite! From valet parking (no coat needed), to the service (attentive, not intrusive and great suggestions), to the food (everyone enjoyed and devoured all!) I love the ambiance. My second visit and it's just as comfortable and enjoyable as last time. The staff know their menus and the suggestions were spot on. Service is prompt and not intrusive. It's a small thing but I love that they clean the crumbs off the table between courses. The food: excellent! I love the lighter fare: burrata salad with grapefruit is super yummy, as is the merengue dessert. It tastes great and feels light which is perfect after a steak. The cheesecake was a big hit also. Eaten in record time and almost ordered a second. We had the filet and ribeye. I love that the filet isn't covered in butter and oil and cooked perfectly to temperature. My peppercorn sauce was spot on: enough taste but not overpowering. The mixed cocktails are yummy and wine is delicious. We devoured our food just as we did the first time. A truly enjoyable time. I can't wait to come back again! read more

I got horrible food poisoning from eating here from a 3 course dinner. We suspect it was the steak tartare. Management did nothing and claimed no responsibility. They need to investigate all their food items. Paying $300 for a meal should not result in this type of food quality, and lack of accountability. read more

My filet mignon was cooked perfectly. However, they put so much salt and pepper on it that I could hardly taste the meat. I didn't spend that much money on a steak just to taste salt and pepper! Disappointing. My dinner companion's steak was half cooked correctly and the other half over-cooked. It was a real shame because he had opted for the Australian wagyu steak and got half crap. The fries were over-cooked. There was no soft potatoey inside. All hard outside crunch. My butter leaf lettuce salad was superb. The dressing was delish! The service could not have been better. I want to say the room was dimly lit, but it was just dark! There is valet parking for $65. read more

I had an amazing meal when I came here. The old fashioned cocktail was great. The duck was delicious.

Endless regret - that's how I feel after eating at CUT DC last night. Aside from our server, who was kind and professional, I cannot identify any redeeming qualities about this restaurant that would justify the astronomical prices on their menu. We had the shrimp cocktail, the filet, the ribeye, the truffle fries, and the broccolini. The steaks were correctly prepared, but my ribeye did not reflect any dry-age flavor as suggested--for all I know they picked it up at Giant earlier today. The fries and broccolini could have been served by an above-average Applebee's location--maybe the steaks as well. I ordered an expensive glass of whiskey--Springbank 18--as a special treat, but the flavor was way off. I have to question whether CUT's supplier has fooled them with fake whiskey bottles. Nothing about our experience merited the $460 we paid after tip. read more

excellent food. top notch. but seems lacking in creativity somehow. service is meticulous but impersonal. something seems off, but I very much enjoyed the meal. service seemed a little slow for this level place. food excellent but not inspired. maybe I'm just jaded. we arrived early - the dining room wasn't open, but the maître d' escorted us to the elevator to relax at the rooftop bar. very nice. separate review for that. read more

The biggest thrill of eating here was that Wolfgang Puck himself was in the house, came over and introduced himself to us. We got good steaks, very well prepared (perfectly medium rare, just salt, pepper and maybe a little garlic) and truly fantastic deserts. Cocktails were tasty, strong and excellent all around. All that said, Cut is pricy even by steakhouse standards and even by D.C. standards. I'd come back...but probably do it again on expense account. read more

We went for restaurant week. I was frustrated that I couldn't find the menu online, but I figured a steakhouse would certainly have steak on the RW menu. Once we arrived, I was shocked that the upcharge for steak was $35. That's more than 50% of the RW cost of $65. Two other items on the menu also had upcharges, which narrows down your options and really doesn't feel in the spirit of Restaurant Week. On top of that, my husband's steak frites (*which we paid an extra $35 for*) didn't arrive with the frites. It took forever to flag down the server and then a surprisingly long time for the fries to actually arrive. All in all, wasn't expecting to spend over $320 for two Restaurant Week dinners, 2 drinks and a beer. read more
