We enjoyed our experience very much at this establishment. The decor was very nice and cozy and we very much enjoyed the Christmas music playing while we enjoyed our meal on the day after Christmas. Great experience and impeccable service.

Went for the Christmas Day Brunch and Dinner buffett as something different for achristmas this year. The food was great. Only complaint was that they needed to have larger plates of some of the featured meats so they didn't empty so quickly. They also had items from the kitchen that were walked around and offered by staff frequently. The wait staff and management team were incredibly attentive and friendly. The noise level was very loud, but that should be expected when a place is that busy, especially with a lot of families or groups of friends sitting around several tables. Overall, a great choice as a deviation from a normal Christmas breakfast.

This was my first visit to Cut Above. Great place for drinks, bites and views. Only suggestion I would have is that they stay open later on the weekends. Otherwise, a great experience and would highly recommend.
