CUT Above

Small rooftop but super nice. Great for a date. Delicious cocktails. The grilled cheese was a perfect snack

Girls night out for rooftop views and fancy cocktails!! Ordered the Skyline Mule and Above the Rest. I really liked the Above the Rest because of the sweet and frothy flavors of egg whites and yuzu. Drinks are definitely pricey but great views and ambiance!

we arrived early for a reservation at the main restaurant - the dining room wasn't open, but the maître d' escorted us to the elevator to relax at the rooftop bar. very nice.loved the view - enclosed with clear tenting, so the chilly breeze didn't bother us. the drinks were top-notch - my wife got a French cider she hadn't tried before. excellent & crisp. I had a perfect Manhattan that was spot on. very enjoyable as the appointed hour for our reservation arrived.

We all ordered a round of martinis, and then asked if the bar does birthday drinks/shots. It was my birthday and the waiter offered a mind eraser that was disgusting and I took one sip of. the manager dominic came over and said "we could also do a zipper" which we assumed were part of the birthday shot (this was a Penn State drink that Dominic recommended because someone in our party went to Penn State). he said "when you come to nice places like this you should expect to pay". we ended up getting charged $200 for drinks that were not good. the bar was not crowded at all, not worth it.

Great views of Key Bridge and Rosslyn! Came on a Sunday so the bar was pretty empty - we were seated and served pretty immediately. I did see here on Yelp there was complimentary popcorn which would have paired well with our drinks but we didn't get that perk unfortunately. In addition the menu was pretty limited and expensive so we stuck to our drink to enjoy a city rooftop view. I'd definitely return to catch a sunset city view while sipping on wine/champagne with some friends.

Words cannot express my visceral anger and disappoint in the Nee Years Eve "Party" at Cut Above. Imagine walking out of a party you spent over $600 on BEFORE ringing in the new year. Yes it was that bad and we were not the only people who left. Even the bottomless " champagne" which someone never gave anyone the slightest buzz wasn't enough to keep most people there. At 1030 it was practically empty as most people cleared out. Is it possible to mess up a seafood tower, charcuterie board and churros? Well according to Cut, it most certainly is! I've had better shrimp from Wegmans. The food was inedible and stale. Hard churros, thick and cold chocolate and caramel sauces, dried out cocktail shrimp, really bad cheese on the charcuterie board and no decent fruit or bread to speak of. The "DJ" looked incredibly bored and seemed to play music from his iPod, no mixing, Mike or enthusiasm. Most of us decided this was no way to ring in 2025, and headed over to the free and lively gatherings at the other hotels in the area. Unfortunately this place was no cut above, we simply cut our losses.

The service was great I had a server who made sure my needs were met and went further when I could barely finish my drink because of the spice level. However, I will say the space is kinda of small. Intimate if you want a positive twist tight if you don't. The cocktails are expensive as you might expect (I don't know how the price compares to other bars in georgetown). It was loud and I could barely hear myself. For reference I went around 5:30 on a Friday. Not my vibe but not a bad spot either.Tldr: service is good but due to price and space I don't think I'll return.

Service does not fit within a Rosewood. Server was not friendly. Also no checking for allergies but brings a bowl of peanuts to the table? Felt strange. 5 start prices but 2 star service. Four Seasons is a much better choice.

We were there yesterday for their fourth of july dinner. We bought tickets in advance and they cost $350 per person, plus an automatic gratuity and tax. For two people, we paid very close to $1k. Now for that price, we were supposed to get a three course meal, a champagne toast, and a nice view for the fireworks later in the night. We arrived and it started off pretty well. They had an ice cream cart in the lobby serving up creme fraiche ice cream topped with caviar. This wasn't really to my taste but it was playful and fun. My husband happily ate mine. Then we took the elevator up to the rooftop and were escorted to our table and promptly served a glass of champagne. This was the end of the pleasant part of the evening.It was extremely hot and humid and they had no fans on the roof at all. This was an easy thing they could have done to make this more pleasant for everyone but instead we just all sat and sweated. Then we waited 90 minutes for our first course. Inexplicably, two tables near us were served food about 45 minutes in. Mind you, we were all seated at the same time. The restaurant knew exactly how many courses they'd need to serve and when. And there was no choosing what you wanted - we all got the same thing. So this was very easy to plan for. But instead we sat, hot and sweaty, and now hungry, and watched while some tables were served their first and THEN SECOND COURSES, while we had NOTHING. I suppose we should consider ourselves lucky because some tables around us waited a full two hours before receiving any food at all. This was utterly unacceptable in any setting, much less one where we all paid what we did.Now, on to the food itself: it was embarrassingly bad. Here is what we had:First course, a trio of softshell crab sliders, corndogs, and truffle deviled eggs. The deviled eggs were good, the corndogs were cold, and the crab slider tasted off - I took one bite and didn't eat any more. Really I think the reason the deviled eggs were good was because they were prepared ahead of time and didn't need to be cooked that day.Then the main course - a dry aged ribeye with chimichurri, a whole lobster with chili butter, watermelon salad, corn tabbouleh, and duck fat potato salad. The steak was served well done wiht no chimichurri - and at no point were we asked how we would like the steak cooked. I guess we should consider ourselves lucky we got it at all. The lobster was cut in half and served plain - no butter. Also no cleaning out of any guts or gunk, which rendered most of it inedible. The potato salad was bland and needed salt, the tabbouleh should have been incredible but tasted like it was made a week prior, and the watermelon salad was the best thing we had on the night. It is hard to go wrong with fresh watermelon, feta, and a drizzle of balsamic. For dessert they served us a chocolate mousse cake, which was good, because clearly it had been made by someone else well ahead of time. So to sum up, what did I actually eat for $350+? A deviled egg, a cold mini corn dog, one bite of off crab slider, a few bits of overcooked steak, two bites of plain lobster, a spoonful of corn, a forkful of potato salad, a bowl of watermelon, and half a chocolate mousse cake. Does that sound fun to anyone or worth the price?The only good thing I can say about the service is that they clearly knew the kitchen was effing up spectacularly so they kept refilling everyone's champagne. But nobody came through and apologized or offered updates. And we had to ask for water refills.In short, this was a total disaster of an evening and I feel like they robbed us. We will never, ever come back here.

My second time at CUT! The rooftop is wonderful, and has a great view. The music and pool added to the vibey ambiance. Ordered a bottle of a French pinot which my friend and I enjoyed. While our waiters tried their best, I do believe they could have been more attentive as we had to wait for them to be in sight a bunch of times. Apart form the service, I would definitely recommend this place! Comfortable couches and lovely view are the highlight.
