I disagree with what this other person said. I don't think Cutters is anything like "Joe's Crab Shack". I had a delicious crab there with my husband and he never eats crab! The staff was indeed friendly and the view was wonderful. Their salad was wonderful and the shrimp was cooked to perfection. Even after a rich meal, we still had room for the wonderful choice of deserts. My husband and I had a great time there and we look forward to another visit.
Pros: Good food with consistent preperation.
Cons: A little pricy.

I'm amazed by what I've read here. I can only assume folks with a vested interest in the place are writing these reviews. Pros: the view is nice, if you're seated at the window. The staff is VERY friendly and efficient. Cons: I was very disappointed overall; "Cutter's" is like a "joe's crab shack"-style franchise, only with a veneer of classiness--various affectations in place of dangling lobster pots etc., or Joe's Jimmy-Buffet theme. We were made to wait in line, I think to create the illusion that we were about to enter an exclusive place, even though there were open tables all over the restaurant. My food was acceptable, but not for the price range. The "fresh-baked focaccia" was a flattened sort of white bread with garlic powder and margarine smeared on it. I got the seafood grill and an order of mussels. They were unobjectionable, but nothing too special...just good. If you regularly drop 40+ bucks for a meal, you'll be happy to chow down with others of your class here. Cologne-soaked shirt-tie-and-a-smile guys and tourists--suburban and out of town alike--abound, late into the evening. The eating--not dining--atmosphere is cafeteria-like. The "open kitchen" wasn't the problem--it was the horde of hungry diners cramming their faces with food. I saw food fall out of a guy's mouth while he was yakking and shovelling, and a woman dribble something on herself. The atmosphere almost demands it. So if you're looking for a nice dinner out, definitely go elsewhere. For the $20-40 an entree range you can do WAY better in Seattle, and you won't come out feeling somehow cheated. The Cutter's business model is based on the middle class presumption that if you're paying more, it must be better. You are, but it's not.
Pros: windows, palatable food
Cons: It's Denny's Plus
