We visited Old Cutler Inn for a Friday night date around 7:45 PM. The waitlist was packed (apparently 150 ahead of us), so we left our name and were told we'd receive a text when a table became available. Thankfully while we went to order a drink at the bar 5 minutes later, we spotted an open table outside in front of the bar - which was first-come, first-serve - and grabbed it. I'm glad we did because our text for a table didn't arrive until 3 hours later when we were already home.
We started off with the ceviche, bread rolls, and fish dip and all delicious but the ceviche and bread rolls were the real standouts. My husband enjoyed smoked Old Fashion while I sipped on the Versailles cocktail which was sweet, yet fantastic.
For the mains we both went with smash burgers. They were juicy, flavorful, and paired with a great sauce (similar to Big Mac sauce). The only drawback was the burger bread because it was too thick and dry. A brioche bun would have been a much better fit.
Service from the bar was excellent. I didn't catch our bartender's name, but she was attentive, kind, and anticipated our needs throughout the evening.
Although we really enjoyed a Old Cutler Inn, it has its downsides. We found the menu to be on the pricey side. With burgers, apps, and drinks, our tab came to $250, which feels steep. Also worth noting is that there's no kids menu. While families can order flatbreads or burgers for little ones, dedicated kid-friendly options aren't available.
Overall, Old Cutler Inn delivered a fun date night with some yummy bites and drinks, but it's definitely more of a splurge spot than a casual dinner go-to. We would absolutely go back but next time, we'll definitely be making a reservation.
