Our first time dining at CUT. Our server was amazing and the food was out of this world. We had the Caesar salad, bone in ribeye and baked potatoes followed by crème brûlée for dessert. We had a wonderful experience and definitely plan to come back for our anniversary.

We had an incredible dining experience - thanks again you so much! Staff were so attentive and the GM Carlo was exceptional - he truly went above and beyond to make the night special for our family. He took special care to ensure my dietary needs were looked after and attended to every detail! The food was delicious - kudos to the chefs as they certainly know what they’re doing. We loved the DJ music coming from downstairs - wasn’t too loud… it was just perfect! Ambience, food & service - 10/10!!!
