   The food was terrible. The lamb scallopinni was presented well, but the lamb was outrageously tough and full of gristle. It was embarrassing to have to find a discreet way to spit out the unchewable meat. The $50, 8 oz filet was not cooked medium as request and was more than well done. The rib eye steak was about 1/2" thick, over cooked and gray. It looked is if was boiled and worse than most hospital food.  This is a restaurant that originally presented itself as offering choice meats, I guess that's over. New "chef" and relatively new owners are driving yet another Chatham restaurant into the ground.  The noise level makes conversation difficult. There were 2 mistakes in our orders. One drink was made incorrectly and replaced. The other mistake was that four salads were brought to the table instead of 3,  with one being returned. I believe we were charged for the drink and the 4th salad we did not order. I did not look at the bill, but after  doing the math at home i am pretty sure we were over charged. We were there on a Sunday and they aren't opened again till the following Friday so I was unable to communicate with anyone. I emailed requesting a copy of the bill, but have not received a response.  Our immediate server was very nice and not responsible for the low quality food. This was a formerly nice restaurant. It appears to have turned into a restaurant that will profit from one time tourist patrons and not reputation for quality food...until word catches up.

   This was our first visit back this spring. We dined here in last year twice. Sadly the food was not up to past visits. My wife's Salmon dish came out undercooked. She asked for it to be done over. The waitress and manager both responded with apologies and said they would taker care of it. The kitchen obviously cooked her another piece and it also came out undercooked. The dishes were beautiful plated. Service was good but it was obvious that they were working out some bugs. Also, there was always a $20.00 burger on the menu that was outstanding and is no longer available. Lots of other places to try locally before I consider heading back to The Cut.

   Disappointed. This is one of our go to places. The menu has changed dramatically. So many favorites are gone. Literally everyone that came in starred at the menu and commented. I suppose it didn’t help that the online menus are still from last year. The staff were are great including the bartenders. Drinks fabulous The crab cake still good. (Different salad now but still tasty) recommend Skip the tuna crudo. (The tuna itself was good but the other accompaniments eh). So disappointing since the tuna tartar they had was the best on the cape. (Imo) No more chopped salad (please bring it back) The Greek chopped was good. Salmon entree: salmon good, accompaniments didn’t pair well I should have gotten a steak. My back up plan was the burger which sadly is off the menu. Why?? Everyone loved it. Hopefully they will re evaluate their menu choices (like why are there 2 short rib items on the menu? It’s spring going into summer.) The summer  salad sounded  good. Need to give that a try when we eventually go back…But I think that won’t be for awhile until they figure things out. I recommend sticking to appetizers, salads, drinks and steak. I have hope the owners will bring back all the great!

   I was disappointed when we arrived and our party of 5 was squeezed into a table meant for 4. We mentioned it to the staff, but they didn’t seem to care and made no effort to accommodate us. There were plenty of larger tables available that could have seated us more comfortably. While the food was good, the cramped and uncomfortable dining experience—especially with my senior parents, son, and husband—made it unenjoyable. Unfortunately, I wouldn’t return.

   We had an excellent server, Amy, who was absolutely outstanding. However, the restaurant had just opened for the season and there was definitely a sense of not being ready for diners. The food was good but not amazing. The ambiance was a little odd because there were very few people when we arrived around 8pm. The place had been recommended by a local friend but I don't think I'd return given our experience.

    We went and had a top-notch dinner. Everything we choose was so tasteful and great quality. This restaurant is a real addition to great dining. We ordered prime rib. It was so tender and cooked perfectly. Also, the rib-eye was fabulous.
