    The new light rail service from the Eastside opens up a whole bunch of dining opportunities that were too inconvenient prior. Cutters is back in the playlist, and I returned for the first time in years, you can't recreate that view on the Eastside. First up, a heads up. It's a corporate restaurant, the waiter's are all schooled in the art of upselling. Just relax and let them do their routine, they are required to so don't get upset. We came in during Seattle Restaurant Week and they did a great job with their 3 course dinner. One chowder, one salad, one seafood pasta, one salmon, all of it excellently seasoned and prepared. And oh did I mention the view??

    Great food and drinks. Great service, friendly people and knowledgeable of the menu I really like this place because it is consistently great food and great place.

    First of all, I found this restaurant on Yelp when I was looking for a nice place to enjoy seafood with a view of the water. The food was not disappointing...it was delicious! Although you will not see any pictures. Please know that it was also nicely plated. Our server ensured that we enjoyed the evening discussing the menu items that we had questions about. I wish I remembered his name he was very professional and attentive. I will definitely revisit this establishment when I return to Seattle.

    This place was great! We wanted a waterfront seafood restaurant for our last night and this place did not disappoint. We booked a reservation, you need a reservation anywhere you go in Seattle. A great location and choice for dinner!

    We went here for dinner and had a beautiful view of Puget Sound and Big Wheel. The food was delicious and the staff went out of their way to bring us extras. I loved my meal and it was quite nice. Thank you Cutters!

    Walked over from a nearby hotel for an early dinner during their great happy hour. Everyone we interacted with was very friendly and inviting. We grabbed two spots at the bar and ordered a few drinks and multiple appetizers to share from their happy hour menu. I really enjoyed the spicy margarita and the ahi tuna tacos. I was intrigued by the thin cut French fries with old bay seasoning and enjoyed them. I'm a sucker for thin/crispy fries and love old bay seasoning. The edamame was average at best. Luke warm with some salt shaken on them. This was the only dish that we didn't love. We would definitely come back again.

    We had some Landry's credits that were about to expire, so we decided to give Cutters Crabhouse a try. While waiting at the hostess stand, we were greeted by the bar-area server -- he was great. The hostess was also pleasant and personable. Shortly after we were seated, our server came over. He was nice, though quiet and reserved. We started with the Little Gem Wedge Salad. While I prefer a more traditional wedge, the homemade blue cheese dressing was phenomenal. I ordered the Fish and Chips -- unfortunately, it was a miss. Some of the worst I've ever had. When I broke open the fish, water trickled out, which was a pretty clear indication it wasn't fresh. My first red flag should have been that the menu didn't list the type of fish. The beer batter was overcooked, and the oil tasted old. My dining partner had the Dungeness crab and shrimp fettuccine and said it was great. As we were leaving, the bar-area server thanked us for coming in and asked if we needed parking validated -- which we appreciated, since our server had forgotten. Parking isn't fully validated, but you do get a 50% off sticker. Overall, Cutters was a one-and-done for us. We both agreed it's not worth a return visit.

    Food was excellent, our server Christian was outstanding, attentive, knowledgeable on the menu, Friendly and provided a great experience. The view in this place is amazing on all sides. Coming here for lunch it was perfect.

    Had such a great experience at Cutter's Crabhouse during a mother-daughter trip! Everything we ordered was spot on--the oven-roasted crab & artichoke dip was rich and flavorful, and the open-faced crab sandwich was absolutely delicious. Fresh, well-prepared, and worth it. Special shoutout to our server, James; he was attentive, friendly, and made the whole experience even better. Top notch service and recommendations. Definitely recommend if you're in Seattle and craving great seafood with a view!

    Really good. We had Cesar as a waiter and he was amazing. Great view and even better food. More on the pricier side, but worth the ambiance and the experience.

    Three things that are amazing about this restaurant. 1. My wife was there! 2. The Macs & Jacks Amber beer 3. Bartender/waiter Otherwise, $27.50 Lobster & Shrimp roll was over priced and they serve cocktail sauce with calamari instead or marinara sauce. Tourist trap for lunch!

    I am so happy we came here. We did have to wait 10 minutes for the hostess to show up. The people behind us left and we almost did too but glad we stuck it out. Ethan was our server and was absolutely wonderful. We also got to sit in the window with a view which added a magical touch to our celebrations. We got the Thai mussels, kids butter pasta, oysters and Whole Dungeness Crab. We had informed Ethan of our toddlers allergies and him and the staff took them seriously. I was really impressed. He also recommended the Dungeness crab and I'm so glad he did. It was our first time ordering a live crab at a restaurant. So fresh and we were able to split it, even our toddler enjoyed some. I felt so taken care of here. Oh and the Thai mussels were so flavorful with the perfect amount of heat. Wish I lived here so I could return.

    Caesar salad they broke up into 4 portions for us
    Tansy W.

    Really friendly service but sadly the food was not that good or fresh. Although we enjoyed the raw oysters and the mussels which came in a tasty curry sauce, the rest was largely a miss. The crab was not fresh and did not taste good, so it was sad to waste as much money as we did on it. For sides, we got mashed potatoes and grilled asparagus, which were meh - nothing to write home about. The caesar salad was fine also. We did not like the free garlic bread that they started us off on. Over all, wouldn't recommend sadly.

    Is there a kids menu?

    I didn't see one. IMO, it's not a place for kids.

    What is the dress code like?

    Was there for a weekend lunch and it was casual. I would say more tourists than locals so all different types of dress.

    Where do you park that car that we will be using since taking a bus for a late dinner isn't my idea of a great thing and I live here, in the city- do they have valet?

    No we do not have a valet, I'm sorry . We do have discounted parking on premise . Hope to see you soon !

We had the scallop agua chile, fries with the same mignotte made into a mayo, and the dirty gin martini dip. I wanted to order more dip to take home it was that good.

Located at the north end of Pikes Place (across the street from Cutters) is this gem of a find. We made reservations online and was able to get seated quickly (it fills up fast). Looking at the menu it looked like we also timed it with happy hour (double win!). We quickly place an order for two dozen oysters (at $2/ea it's a steal) while we perused the menu. After ordering the oyster platter arrived and it was so fresh, chilled and tasty. We quickly devoured it. Moving into dinner, some got the crab rolls, but I settled for the new menu item: halibut. The delightfully savory halibut was moist and served with a nice side of potato and was as perfect as one can make a halibut dish. I would eat this again in a heartbeat. If you are in the Pikes Place market and wanting a break for a nice meal, this is the place to pop on in. Be sure to do a reservation as they do fill up quickly! Hope you get to enjoy it soon too!

    A Shell of a Good Time in Belltown…read more Sometimes you walk into a restaurant expecting a cute little dinner... and you walk out realizing you just had a full-on crabsolutely delicious experience. That's exactly what happened during my recent visit to a small seafood spot tucked away in Belltown. First off: parking was surprisingly easy for a Sunday night, which already felt like a win in Seattle. The restaurant itself was smaller than we expected, but it had some fun décor and a cozy vibe. We were seated in the corner, and while it was comfortable, I'll admit the space felt a little plain in that area. I kept thinking a little extra nautical flair would've made it feel more complete. They also had a couple TVs on showing news and sports, which felt slightly off-theme--like I came for seafood, not breaking news. But honestly... once the food arrived, I didn't care what was on those screens. Because the food? Shell yeah. The Main Event: Dungeness Crab Heaven!! We ordered the Dungeness crab cluster and added all the extras (because why wouldn't you?). We went all in with: corn potatoes broccoli andouille sausage And every single thing was cooked to perfection. The crab was sweet and tender, the sausage had the perfect bite, and the veggies weren't overcooked or soggy (which is rare in these types of seafood boil situations). It was hearty, flavorful, and honestly just the kind of meal that feels like a reward. The staff was genuinely friendly and helpful. And the little bibs they gave us were adorable. This place is crabsolutely worth it.

The total came out around $47, so thank god it also came with other stuff. Remember when lobster was considered peasant food?? This is perfect if you're craving a lobster roll and want to maximize your experience. I even shared it with a friend and it was filling enough for the both of us. You're asked if you want the rolls chilled or warm. Chilled is what they're most known for & for warm, they reheat the lobster again in butter, making it extra aromatic and buttery. Because it was quite chilly out, we went with warm. I'd recommend!

    Extra star for good, fast service even when they were busy…read more Between the 5 of us, we tried most of the small menu. The general consensus was...it was OK. The chowder was chunky but a bit bland, my wife thought the potatoes were undercooked. I had the flight of rolls - shrimp, crab, and lobster - myself. I didn't realize they were served cold (should have read more reviews), and they each had just a sprinkle of seasoning. I think my wife stole all the seasoning in the bite she had, she said it was a little dill-y, and the only dill I tasted was the pickle (which was good). Also had the marionberry crème soda, which I need to find closer to home. Overall, 4.3 stars seems pretty generous...especially since when I walked out the door I was still ready to eat. One of the kids said "it was kind of mid." Now that I know what that means, I'd agree.

The oysters were the main draw for me, and they were totally worth the visit. Old Stove serves them with a savory watermelon sauce in addition to a traditional cocktail sauce--eaten together, it's a flavor explosion that I can't quite describe. We also enjoyed the garlic everything fries, which were delicious! We just had to try a flight to sample the brews. There are some really good beers available here, especially the Belgian blonde, citra pale ale, and the stout. I did not really care for the seasonal sour (grapefruit, I think)--to me, it just tasted like a sour and nothing more, but someone with more interest in sour beers would probably enjoy it just fine. Despite the busy night, our server checked on us regularly and was very personable, stopping to chat with us about the local sports scene. There's plenty to look at, inside and out. If you can snag a seat outside, you'll get to enjoy the waterfront. Inside, the decor is industrial but fun. Not sure if this runs all the time, but when we were there, the tvs were playing vintage beer ads, which was quite fun. They also sell some pretty good t-shirt designs. Overall, Old Stove Brewing is the perfect combo of good location, good food, and good beer. Definitely recommend a visit when in the Pike Place area!

They gave us these post cards to write down our individual drinks. FYI - this place requires using your smart phone to scan a QR code for the menu. We ordered 2 apps (salmon dip with pita chips & chips and cheese dip) I ordered fish and chips. Buddy got the meat loaf. Our beer showed up quick. Waiter always checked on us often. Our apps showed up and they were both delicious. Then 5 minutes later our main dish orders showed up. Wasn't too happy with that because we wasted time to taste our beers and snack on the apps. They need to work on their timing. Need at least 10 minutes in between the beer and apps. The food overall is admittedly top notch. Fish and chips FRESH! The fish was juicy and the fried crust was perfection. Pieces were large. They will ask if you want 3 or 4. 3 is enough. If they can work on timing the drinks and food this place would be a 5 out 5, but will deduct a star because of that. The overall vibe of the place was nice. Huge layout with wooden picnic style tables. Outdoor tables if you're lucky to get one. Large tanks to brew beer surrounding the room and a merch table.

I think the saving grace here for my experience was Brandon! Glad I opted to sit at the oyster bar. This was my first time into Seattle, therefore first time visiting Elliot's. Appreciated the tidbits of knowledge he dropped regarding the oysters - honestly made me appreciate it more! Had him pick 6 different ones since I didn't have any context of the different species of oysters. Chatting with Brandon also felt like catchin up with an old friend. The oysters were delish! Super fresh and my favorite was the shigoku. The amount of oyster choices they had were overwhelming, in a good way! The spicy crab and corn chowder was also bomb, which was also recommended by Brandon as I was originally just going to try the classic/regular one. Id totally come back here again next time in town.
