| - Every review says to expect good service, but I did not know how truly outstanding it would be. I brought my partner here for our anniversary and we have never been treated so well at a restaurant. As an interracial lesbian couple with a big age gap we are used to some quizzical looks or even questions, there was none of that here. Every member of the staff treated us with the utmost respect. The meal service itself was like a well choreographed ballet, which is harder than it looks. (reminded me of that episode of Will & Grace where Jack gets Will to be his cater waiter). The servers were charming and funny, not pretentious or stuffy in the least. My girlfriend has a serious Gluten allergy and they were so gracious about accommodating her, they never acted as if it was a hassle. They even had the pastry chef make a gluten free Chocolate Soufflé which was presented very nicely. This was a big deal because my baby used to love soufflés but hasn't had one since discovering her allergy a long time ago.
Ok, on to the food...
Lobster- We don't eat beef or pork but I brought her to this steakhouse for the lobster with truffle sauce. It was every bit as good as it sounds. It is lightly roasted in the oven which gives a much nicer flavor than your typical steamed lobster. They cut it out of the shell and serve it table side, very neat! Truffle sauce was a tad sweet for me but she loved it.
Jidori rotisserie chicken- wow, they presented the whole bird, which was impressively cooked to perfection, then they took it back to the kitchen to carve it up for me. Very cool indeed. The sauce is not gluten free but they let me know in advance so I did not accidentally poison my girlfriend by sharing it with her. The chicken was nicely brined. Brining makes such a big difference and causes the chicken to be verry juicy, even the breast! This brine was a little bit sweeter and less herby than the Thomas Keller Bouchon one. The chanterelle mushrooms had a nice Marsala flavor to them.
Butternut Squash with crispy leeks- Delicious as it sounds, but it's a very rich and filling side dish. I think it also had pumpkin seeds and parsnips or something. Roasted just right, not too browned. It's gluten free.
My gf also loved her Sauvignon Blanc and I couldn't handle anymore booze so I had a nice pot of mint tea.
Pretzel and onion focaccia bread were crazy good but I wish they were served warm. Portions are huge, I was shocked to be served a whole chicken, lol! The food is very rich and they sure don't skimp on the butter. I don't eat beef, but there was some large T bone steak that people around us kept ordering, it smelled heavenly! I'm so glad I opted to come here instead of one of those stuffy French places where every dish is the size of a postage stamp and costs $40. When I like something, I want more, damn it! So that concept does not appeal to me. I'm a petite girl but I eat a lot and I have no interest in spending $800 on my meal alone. You can bet your sweet ass I will be back here the next time I'm in town. You must try Cut, especially if you are celebrating something or you want to treat someone to a perfect dinner. After tip (tip extra because they work hard, take pride in their job and they deserve it), expect to spend around $100 per person, probably more if you are ordering bottles of wine or doing the Japanese steaks. The only thing that did not impress me was the corn fed beef on the menu. Um, hello...Food Inc.! Those beasts need their grass!
