Old Cutler Inn

My family and I are really excited for this local restaurant that just opened up in Palmetto Bay. Our waitress Maria was exceptional and one of the owners even stopped by our table to thank us and to make sure everything was perfect. The decor is beautiful and creates a feel good dinner Feng Shui. My daughter wanted a cocktail drink that was not in the menu and they were more than willing to accommodate us. We sent our compliments to the chef since the taste was exquisite and the food quality was superb. The price is a bit on the high side, but we'll deserved. We will definitely return and we might even make this our new spot. GREAT JOB GUYS

Old Cutler Inn is a fresh addition to the Cutler Bay area, giving locals something they’ve been craving: craft drinks and inventive cocktails. Since it’s a new spot, I’m willing to give it another shot as they’re probably still finding their rhythm. We couldn’t snag a reservation but got lucky with bar seating. Our bartender was fantastic, and the cocktails were on point. You can tell the owners poured a lot of heart into the place, and aesthetically, it’s very pleasant. That said, the food and overall service could use some improvement. Most of our dishes arrived at room temperature. We were excited about the bread section, but the rolls needed more butter to truly shine. The French onion soup, however, was excellent! Oysters were slightly shelly but still enjoyable. We ordered the steak and frites medium rare, but it came out extremely rare. I had to send it back—my first time doing so—and was surprised when they recooked the same steak, leaving the fries cold. We also had a minor hiccup with clearing our plates, which felt a bit awkward. Desserts were just okay, and the espresso martini didn’t hit the mark (I don’t think they used real coffee), but the White Pearl cocktail was phenomenal. Overall, I’d give Old Cutler Inn a second chance. If you’re considering visiting, give them a little time to iron out the kinks. For cocktails and small bites, I’m definitely coming back.

Absolutely AMAZING! Staff was super friendly and welcoming, the waiter was very well educated on the menus and drinks. Food came out quickly and the taste was amazing. Food presentation matched the vibe and quality of the restaurant. Literally dreaming of going back soon for another passion fruit ceviche. The restaurant is beautifully designed and a great spot for the entire family! We did not have a reservation and the hostess was able to accommodate us. My husband and I are looking forward to another date night at Old Cutler Inn!

We didn’t have a reservation, but the host was able to seat us quickly, which we appreciated. Unfortunately, the service went downhill from there. It took about 10 minutes for our waiter to greet us, and another 10 minutes just to get water and place our drink order. The kitchen seemed to be experiencing delays or issues—our food took a long time to arrive, and when it did, it was underwhelming. The Korean BBQ short rib was a generous portion, but it was very dry. The pork schnitzel, on the other hand, was decent. The restaurant wasn’t particularly busy, and it looked like they had a full staff, yet the service was incredibly slow. Throughout the meal, no one checked on us for additional drinks or water, which made the experience even more frustrating. Even had to wait a long time to get the check and pay when there were only a handful of tables left. Would definitely not recommend…

Kevin was our server and he was super friendly. The bartenders made some fantastic cocktails, my favorite was the guava margarita. All the food came out delicious, between my friends and I we tried 8 different plates and nothing disappointed. I’m so excited this place opened up down the street from my house.

I’ve been wanting to try this place for a while. I’ve had three friends who visited and none of them liked it. Not a good sign, but I like to try things for myself. I came here with my daughter on a Monday evening at 6pm. They were already booked. The dining room is very small. The restaurant looks bigger from the outside than it is inside. There were two seats at the bar though, so we sat there. The bartender was very nice and friendly. We shared a White Pearl drink. It was very good. It usually comes with truffle in it, but the bartender asked if we wanted to add it and we decided to try the drink without it. It was pretty strong so kudos to the bartender. For dinner we shared the 6 oysters. I ordered the BBQ wings. It comes with 6 wings to an order. My daughter ordered the spicy vodka Lumanche. The oysters were great! My wings were delicious! The pasta however was not good. It was VERY bland. They really need to adjust their sauce. It tasted like nothing (but a little spicy). There was no salt and no acidity to it. We asked the bartender for some salt and added it, but it really didn’t make any difference. It was a pretty good size order and my daughter took home her leftovers. We ran into a friend there and went to say hi. She said, “This place sucks!” I really want this place to succeed, but they HAVE to get the food together! People don’t want to pay $30 for pasta that doesn’t have any flavor, after paying $10 to park there. Our bill was $100 after tip. They need to either lower their prices or make the food worth the cost. Otherwise they will never have any return business. Once everyone has tried it, they’ll be the last time they come. Fire your chef and get the food where it needs to be if you don’t want to go out of business.

My family and I dined at the Old Cutler Inn recently and we had a wonderful experience. The food was amazing, service was great, and atmosphere was very relaxing. We shared several appetizers, all of which were amazing, but my favorites were the Korean barbecue short rib and salmon. I ordered the fillet, which was full of flavor and very tender. I’m definitely going back to try other dishes!

Great new addition to the neighborhood! We expected a long wait since it was opening night, but the bartenders kept everyone happy and were amazing. Once seated, service was excellent and every dish we tried—spicy vodka pasta, oak chicken, calamari, French onion soup, and the sticky bun—was fantastic. Can’t wait to come back!

Went to Old Cutler Inn last night and had such a great experience! We had a 7:45 reservation and were seated right away. The space is beautiful--indoor seating is cozy, and the outdoor area is huge. Even in the Miami heat, the fans made it super comfortable. Service was excellent. Our server Anthony was fantastic--super professional, friendly, and gave us spot-on recommendations. I tried the Fresh Breeze cocktail (so refreshing!) and the Rosé Hugo Spritz--loved them both. We started with the Tuna Tartare and Salmon Crudo, both fresh and flavorful. For mains, Anthony suggested the Korean BBQ Short Rib and the Lasagna. The rib was massive and fall-apart tender, with kimchi and rice that tied it all together. The lasagna was rich and delicious, with lamb in the sauce and served over truffle sauce--completely devoured! Overall, amazing food, great drinks, and top-notch service. Huge thanks to Anthony for making the night even better. We'll definitely be back!

We walked in with a 7pm reservation, we arrived a little early so we were seated on time. However, come 7:35 we still don't have anyone come to the table to greet us or even offer us water. We went for my brother's birthday and around 7:45 he went in to speak to the hostess, some minutes later the server arrived. He took our drink order and appetizers. My sparkling water and my dad's beer took forever to come out and then the server finally took our food order. Around 20 minutes after the food order was placed, he comes out to let me know that they don't have my order, the Spicy Vodka pasta at the moment. At this time, I'm upset because I am notified when everyone else is close to receiving their food. He tells me that the manager will come out to speak with me. The manager comes out some minutes later, and he does not apologize for the delay any of us have gone through and just asks me what I want instead. I'm a vegetarian and the options are extremely limited, by this point I'm not even hungry anymore but I order the flatbread anyways in case I'm hungry when it comes out. When the entrees for everyone else come out, they're cold. I ordered the chili crunch broccolini and as you can see by the picture there was no chili crunch only sea salt on them, and super cold, definitely not worth the $8 price tag as they had no flavor. The lasagna (both orders) were super cold, my brother said that it was okay. My sister in law stated that the steak wasn't that great and it was also cold. The flatbread was comped which was nice, but after waiting that long, no apologies and getting all the entrees cold, I would have expected a little more. The best part of the meal was the bread rolls, which you also have to pay for. After looking forward to this restaurant opening, it was extremely disappointing from the food to the service from the server AND the manager. I was expecting a lot more.

Go for yourself and make your own opinion. Omg you have too sorry! Go for yourself and make your own opinion. Omg you have too sorry!

Ariana, the host greeted me at the door, walking me to the bar. Where I had The swordfish couldn't finish. Had to save room for the chocolate cake. The staff was very friendly. My bartender was professional. I think there was 2 of them. also, there was also a guy in training They all treated me real nice. The manager came over and introduced himself to me. It's a little far from my home, but I'll come back for a special occasion.

They are doing their best as they are just starting out-the wait staff is very nice lots of young people. 2 things. #1 They need to put on the website that it's basically reservations only. That's not advertised anywhere. #2 As a previous review said: They need a new Chef For those prices, aesthetic and that area the food has no taste or culinary creativity. They need to fix this fast or they may not make it. A dive bar has better tasting food! I'll come back in the new year! Best of luck to them.

Having to pay $10 for valet when there is no parking at the restaurant is the not the best way to start off. Food was average at best, they have a lot to figure out so hoping to give the benefit of the doubt ..::Have to say though their prices are high, food needs to warrant the price. I can't really say it does, hoping they can pull it together .

I am not going to judge service because they just opened and are clearly figuring stuff out. However, they need to fire their chef asap. Food is absolutely disgusting. Bland, flavorless garbage!!!! Wings tasted like cardboard, shrimp cobb was a very sad excuse for a salad, flat bread looked and tasted like DIY kids pizza, parker rolls were hard, and short rib dish was tasteless and rice was undercooked. Not 1 dish was decent. The only positive thing I can say is though I drank wine, all the drinks I saw looked well made and delicious. Bartenders are their current saving grace, I hope they can improve!!!!

We had dinner at Old Cutler Inn tonight, and it was fantastic, from start to finish. It's really a beautiful space, open and airy, elegant, and warm and friendly at the same time. Our primary server was Anthony, who was super friendly and knowledgeable, and his level of attention and service was outstanding. There was also clearly a team effort to make things even smoother, which we appreciated very much. Drinks were delicious and creative, and I loved the "Old-Fashioned cart", which is unique and cool. The food was delicious. Appetizers were excellent, and the steak frites I had was perfectly done. They had a new dessert the night we were there - a homemade key lime pie which was incredible. Music was great. Everyone person we interacted with was really nice and friendly - what a wonderful staff (especially Anthony). We will definitely be back, as soon as possible - we absolutely loved Old Cutler Inn!

Unfortunately they could not find my reservation so we ended up sitting outside and soon were inundated with mosquitoes. Staff was nice and efficient. They ran out of pork schnitzel about 8pm and offered chicken instead of pork. We declined and the spicy pasta lumache was delicious and a good substitute. The cobb salad was average and the chicken sandwich was okay. The only fish I saw on the menu was swordfish but was hoping for dolphin or grouper. Obviously they have some work to do to get the kinks out and work on their menu, but think they will be able to do so in the near future. We will give it another try after about 6 months to see if they have been able to get their food as good as the old Snowden's restaurant was.
