First time here for date night. Fabulous dirty martinis and espresso martinis. Fantastic grilled octopus and very delicious fried cauliflower! It’s a popular place so recommend you a reservation in advance

We went here for the whiskey selection and we were not disappointed. It’s huge and the staff is super knowledgeable and passionate about whiskey. They will help you select a flight or make a flight for you based on what you like and want to explore.

This is the spot every whiskey and steak connoisseur would dream up but never be able to make reality. Well, Tommy made this heavenly dream a place. And the people who work there are passionately trained. Each customer is treated as kings and queens. Try some recommended neat pours. Get the biggest pork belly pieces ever. Can’t go wrong with an old fashioned or Manhattan made with the bars own private barrel. Eric is amazing. And if you find yourself lost in great conversation with an attentive bartender you may just have talked to the owner without knowing. I would come here every night if I could.

Lovely, comfortable atmosphere, with great service and friendly staff. Salmon was delicious but the once-crispy skin was flabby when served, and the accompanying gnocchi were gummy and bland. The dry aged NY steak was stellar as was the octopus app. We had a sampler of four Japanese whiskeys and it was a unique and satisfying experience.

Absolutely one of my favorite restaurants in the city for a nicer meal. I’ve been here so many times now and have taken family, friends, and visitors. Their pork chop changed my life I think. It’s definitely the best pork chop I’ve ever had.

Honestly the pork chop was probably the best that I’ve ever had! But everything was so good, I remember getting the NY steak, fried cauliflower, and pork belly too. Overall I found everything to be reasonably priced, with massive portions! The inside is very nice too, this is easily one of my favorite restaurants in Seattle.

I can’t say enough about our dining experience at The Ballard Cut. From the mussels and clams appetizer to dessert, paired with some great bourbon, we enjoyed every aspect of our dinner.

This place has options for both veg and non veg. In veg, Fried cauliflower and mushroom risotto was good and my friends had lamb and they were very satisfied with the lamb. Nice place to have dinner after 9pm.

I was here based on my colleagues recommendation. It looks like a small village when you come to this area. Something completely different from the city. I made a reservation for myself and my friend and we reached here before our reservation time. We were given an option to sit outside otherwise they can keep our table by the time it’s our reservation time. It was windy and chilly so we decided we would walk around and come later. As I said it’s a small village because most of the stores were closed at 7 pm on a Friday evening. We walked around and chatted standing there until we were called to be seated. It’s a small place not much of a seating area inside but they have extended outside seating. I’m sure it will be good on a sunny day. As soon we were seated we were served water with a menu card. We ordered appetizers such as Thai chicken wings and I asked for a green tea with lemon and honey. We were busy talking and the place was crowded, it was very loud and there was music played as well. A perfect Friday vibe. One thing about this place, the food is Michelin kind and the ambience is that of a sports bar. Anyway expect delay because it’s a bit laid back as we got our appetizer late and when we got we got our main course as well. The server apologized and we also didn’t say much. It tasted good too. The server who served us was nice and courteous. Overall I had a good experience. Loved their whiskey bar. I was pretty sure there’s a story behind that whiskey bar and someone very passionate about it as well who must be managing it. Since it was crowded I didn’t get a chance to interact with the bar attendant otherwise I wanted to ask about Rum . I will definitely go here next time but day time as the lights are very dim. If you’re in town please visit this place as the people in the kitchen are really passionate about what they do.
