    It was just ok. I didn’t know what to expect. It was just ok. Hated that it was in Gaslamp. That should’ve been my first clue. But how often do we go down there? So we took a chance… our next outing will not be there.

    The reason we chose Butcher's Cut Steakhouse for our anniversary celebration was because we wanted to take advantage of the happy hour menu and try different appetizers. When we arrived at our table, it was scattered with flower petals, which was lovely! When we were presented with menus we asked about the Happy Hour and were told that it would only be honored if we sat at the bar. We were disappointed and thought this was very misleading and false advertising but decided to make the best of the situation. Throughout the night, we were really won over and will definitely be recommending Butcher's Cut to everyone. We shared a Wedge Salad (could do without the carrots which really don't belong on a Wedge Salad) but otherwise great. I had the Lobster Ravioli, and my husband had the Venison dish. Both were terrific! The corn and bacon side dish tasted like canned corn and was watery, so that needs improvement. Our server, Sinem, could not have been kinder, friendlier or more attentive; she really took great care of us and enhanced our experience greatly. Several other employees stopped by our table and wished us Happy Anniversary, which was very touching. After we finished our meal, we were presented with 2 glasses of Champagne and an absolutely delicious piece of limoncello cake, all complimentary, which was a great surprise and greatly appreciated! All-in-all, we really felt pampered, appreciated, welcomed and had a wonderful celebration for our special day! Thanks so much to everyone at the Butcher's Cut!

    Excellent service. Great ambiance. We had the porterhouse steak which was smaller than an East Coast steakhouse would serve. Nice restaurant though and helpful staff.

    Very mediocre meal for an outrageous price. New York strip (16oz/$46) was stringy and chewy.. couldn’t even finish it, could not cut it. Wagyu was unimpressive and flavorless.. I’ve had Wagyu multiple times and this did not come anyone close to comparison. Sides were bland (lobster mashed potatoes and Brussel sprouts), my ($16) lobster bisque had not a single fleck of lobster in it I’m positive.. tasted like seafood stock gravy. The wine selection was generic and overpriced, the calamari was bland but cooked well. Our server aleksandra was wonderful, she came to check on us at appropriate times and displayed great planning skills with timing of courses. She also surprised us with a complimentary slice of cheesecake with a candle for my daughter’s birthday, very thoughtful.

    Food was over cooked and over priced . Sent it back and it wasn’t much better. Filet is dry , not tender and not juicy. Would not recommend.

    The server went beyond what I was expecting. It was my boyfriend’s birthday and we got complementary Prosecco and desert with a candle. Food was fantastic. It is not cheap but perfect for special occasion. Highly recommend
