My best friend has been raving about the $28 ounce of kobe from Cut and how great it was (his gf didn't let him eat it after she tried it) and so I've wanting to try Cut for a while. I'm not a big fan of steak houses but thought Cut would be different. For the record, I didn't order the $28 an ounce kobe, I did order a dry aged new york sirloin. It was a big piece of meat and that's what it was. It was dry, flavorless, and very average. I just wasn't impressed. The wasabi-yuzu sauce was a nice compliment for the steak since it gave it some flavor. For appetizer, I had heirloom tomato salad which I again thought was very average. The salad was $21 and the steak was $59 and I don't think it was worth it. For that same price, I could have ate somewhere else and probably had a tasting menu of some sort. There wasn't anything spectacular about the meal, it just felt like over priced steak and salad.
The service was relatively good, they were attentive and courteous. The decor was somewhat depressing. Perhaps they were going for the dim lighting of a steakhouse which is fine but I felt it didn't go well with the chairs and tables.
There were three of us and the bill was $336. We had some alcohol and also a souffle for dessert which was so so. My best friend has said that he and I will go to Cut together next time I visit him. I think I'll have to find another restaurant to try instead.
