Food:
2/5
Price:
$470,
$556
after-tip,
for
2
people.
Good:
-
The
service
was
excellent.
Some
of
the
best
service
in
Halifax.
-
Foie
Gras
Poêlé
-
fantastic.
-
Chocolate
Mirror
Cake
-
quite
nice.
Not-so-good:
-
The
steaks.
We
got
the
Canada
Prime
AAA
Dry-Aged
ribeye
and
strip.
They
were
unusually
grisly,
and
rather
than
being
properly
marbled,
they
were
just
excessively
fatty
-
not
intramuscular
marbling
like
you'd
expect,
but
great
gobs
of
unchewable
fat
everywhere.
Beyond
the
poor
quality
of
meat,
we
both
found
that
the
steaks
lacked
flavour
entirely
-
no
buttery
taste,
nor
any
hint
of
salt/pepper/garlic/rosemary
that
most
steakhouses
incorporate
in
the
cooking
process.
-
For
the
price,
and
all
the
show-and-tell
re:
the
dry-aging
process
and
the
superior
quality
to
expect
from
it,
I
was
extremely
disappointed.
These
were
among
the
worst
steaks
I've
had
in
a
restaurant.
We
are
quite
familiar
with
dry-aged
steaks,
we
both
cook
with
steaks
quite
frequently,
and
though
they
were
the
main
course,
they
were
the
worst
(and
most
expensive)
part
of
our
night.
-
The
Mac
and
Cheese.
This
seemed
to
have
no
cheese
in
it
at
all.
It
was
like
Panko
breadcrumbs
on
top
of
a
heap
of
dry
macaroni
noodles.
Not
creamy
or
cheesy
at
all,
just
bland
pasta.
-
Béarnaise
-
this
had
almost
no
tarragon
in
it.
When
it
arrived,
I
was
surprised
that
it
was
flatly
yellow,
with
no
noticeable
chopped
tarragon
anywhere,
and
upon
tasting,
it
just
seemed
like
they
had
double-boiled
egg
yolk
and
butter
and
omitted
the
tarragon
entirely.
I
make
a
lot
of
Béarnaise
and
I
was
really
looking
forward
to
trying
this
one.
It
was
not
good.
Overall:
I
was
disappointed
with
our
experience
at
Cut.
This
meal
cost
over
$550
for
two
people.
The
steaks
were
very
poor
quality,
both
in
meat
quality
and
flavour,
the
sides
were
incredibly
expensive
and
hugely
disappointing,
and
the
steak
sauce
was
a
big
letdown.
I
hate
to
mention
this,
but
as
we
finished
our
dinner,
I
felt
increasingly
unwell,
and
experienced
symptoms
consistent
with
foodborne
illness,
including
vomiting,
immediately
following
our
main
course
and
the
entire
night
thereafter.
I
obviously
cannot
confirm
the
exact
cause,
but
I
feel
it's
important
to
share
my
experience
for
the
awareness
of
the
restaurant
and
potential
future
customers.
I
felt
there
was
something
amiss
with
the
quality
of
our
meal
while
I
was
eating
it,
and
it
would
seem
I
was
right
given
how
ill
I
immediately
became.
Anyway,
even
if
I
hadn't
become
sick
following
our
meal,
my
review
would
be
the
same
-
this
was
not
worth
the
price
we
paid.
I
would
expect
much
higher
quality
meat
from
a
proper
steakhouse.
Ours
were
tough,
lacked
proper
marbling,
were
quite
grisly,
and
had
no
flavour.
I
hate
leave
bad
reviews,
but
I
felt
compelled
to
be
honest
given
how
expensive
this
place
is,
and
how
disappointed
we
were
in
a
dinner
we'd
been
looking
forward
to
for
a
long
time.
Had
our
server
not
been
excellent,
this
review
would
be
even
lower.
We
dine
at
Shuck
a
lot,
another
RCR
restaurant,
and
have
always
had
good
experiences.
I
was
surprised
and
disappointed
that
just
upstairs,
we'd
have
an
experience
like
we
did.
