What People Are Saying About Cut

Featured Review

Tara Lis

Contributor

The Scene – Awash in his trademark white color scheme, architect Richard Meier (Getty Center) eschews both the dim lighting and dark-leather booths of traditional steakhouses, and the whimsical designs of L.A.'s more recent insurgence. There's nary an antler chandelier in sight. Industry honchos, their arm candy, and overwhelmed hotel guests lounge in middle-of-the-room booths or stylish swivel chairs. Stellar service is synchronized, polite and polished. – – The Food – Wolfgang Puck proffers the kind of decadent protein-heavy appetizers, red meat mains and stiff…

Editor's Tips

Parking:
Even with the validation, valet parking is $10. It's worth it to peruse the neighborhood for street spots.
What to Drink:
Martinis are well-made and the classic version features an olive trio: One plain, one stuffed with blue cheese, and a third filled with jalapenos. The wine list is a gem, and includes in-depth tableside service regardless of bottle price.
Look Good:
The walk to the bathroom is long, but does provide an excuse to traverse more "Pretty Woman" hotel territory.

  4. liked the cobbler and my friend like the banana cream pie.
  5. The wine list, desserts and service are also very memorable and to top it off, the space is absolutely amazing and stands out beautifully inside one of Beverly Hills landmarks!
  6. The desserts (specifically Black Forest) are definately not as good as what's offered at 'Spago'.
  7. Side dish was not great neither dessert.
  8. The deserts are huge and delicious.
drinks
100.0% positive
  1. The wine list, desserts and service are also very memorable and to top it off, the space is absolutely amazing and stands out beautifully inside one of Beverly Hills landmarks!
  2. The cocktails, well-priced wine (Pinot Noir for under $75) and the NY Strip were all terrific.
  3. The drinks were HUGE!
  4. There are great wines by the glass, and the service was very good but they do book in full every night.
  5. If you are in the mood for a great steaks and a couple of stiff drinks this is your place.
  6. The sommelier Dana is very helpful and has turned me on to some of the best wines around.
  7. And if you just want a quick bite and drinks the Side Bar has a great mini menu from Cut.
  8. On my most recent foray to Sidebar, the staff members were great (i.e. very pleasant, attentive, no attitude), the drinks strong and the appetizers delicious.
  9. The steak was delicious as well and so was the bottle of wine we ordered.
food quality
83.90000343322754% positive
  1. Amazing food, great service
  2. The appetizer on the other hand, was very unique and flavorful, but still did not make up for the fact that they ruined a great piece of steak by not cooking in right.
  3. The only upside of the meal were the fries which were really good and the sliders were good too.
  4. The food here isn't bad- BUT they are charging outstanding food prices, and the food is a far, far cry from that.
  5. do have to say though that the flavor on both of the steaks was very good.
  6. However, I recently had the most amazing steak in my life.
  7. made the reservation because I saw the picture of the place in LA Times Restaurant edition and thought what a nice way to dine with a beautifully designed space and good food.
  8. The spinach was not nearly as good as The Palm's creamed spinach and too salty, and the "organic" egg was just an egg.
  9. The tempura soft shell crab was cold and the kobe sashimi was swimming in an overwhelming sauce.
  10. The room is amazing - designed by Richard Meier - its a lot more European , Barcalona , Milan style kind of feeling as opposed to your typical dark old school looking steak house like Maestros
  11. The kobe beef of course was excellent but did make it enough for the whole experience to be a memorable one.
  12. am sure that some people like the steak better at Cut, and some at Boa, and some at Maestros, but why fight to get in, and pay more, when it wasnt noticeably different.
  13. Really enjoyed the flavor of the steak and it was cooked to perfection, would definitely send my friends there.
  14. They have the best steaks, best bread, best fries, best of everything.
  15. Ended up having great simple food and wonderul service.
  16. First of all, their Kobe steak was not the best quality that you could find in LA.
  17. Great ambience but NOT very good steaks
  18. maybe a lil pricey for those who know where to find a great steak but no rip off in my opinion.
  19. The ambience was great but I cannot say the same for our steaks.
  20. Until my visit to Cut I primarly liked steak in NYC.
  21. Always a great experience and the food has never disappointed.
  22. The Polenta was a tragedy, it was gluey, too salty, had too much cheese in it, so you could't taste the Polenta, which is profoundly delicious at Spago.
  23. The Kobe beef was great.
  24. but I liked bread especially pletzel.
  25. The sides were nothing special and the mushrooms with shishito peppers were nauseating.
  26. If you like steaks, ( and fish), want to see service at its best, and dont mind paying a lot for teh best this is the place for you.
  27. got the big eye tuna steak with wasabi butter and tempura battered onion rings with homemade ketchup.
  28. The deserts are huge and delicious.
  29. Everything from the ambiance to the appetizers to the steaks were absolutely fabulous.
  30. We love steak and went to Nick & stef's, Maestro, and the Palm and this time we were very disapponted with Cut.
  31. These tasty little hamburgesas were amazing.
  32. Side dish was not great neither dessert.
  33. We were so disappointed that these were not the best meat dishes we've experienced in other restaurants such as Spago, Maestro's, The Palm, and Ruth's Chris.
  34. Service great, food surprising average
  35. only advise that you think twice before thinking this is the best steak you care to drop your dough on.
  36. Make sure you order the sweet corn side dish - incredible , this is truly the best steak place in LA right now !
  37. Anyway here were the nice plate we had: warm veal tongue, soft shell crab, bone marrow creme brulle and some crab apptizer.
  38. The American Snake River Kobe was the best steak we've ever had and the Foie Gras was melt in your mouth!
  39. The steaks were very good, but not as flavorful or interesting as some I have had.
  40. Face it, if you can do some research and read about a restaurant i'm sure you can learn a new way to cook your own steak at home on a nice fire grill just as good.
  41. The steaks were horrible.
  42. No way in heck did my steak taste normal let alone great.
  43. The steaks were dry and charred on top.
  44. asked the server for his suggestions for a juicy steak, and he recommended the bone in rib eye steak.
  45. They always have had good steak and you know what you will get.
  46. CUT/sidebar at the Regent Beverly Wilshire Hotel is amazing, but be prepared to forego this month's rent in exchange for the best meat in town!
  47. The steak was delicious as well and so was the bottle of wine we ordered.
  48. Great service, Great atmosphere, Great food.
  49. am a self proclaimed foodie and love a great steak.
  50. Great booze, food, and people watching.

  52. The steaks are juicy and simply melts in your mouth and the evening ended with

  56. All in all a horrible meal but at least the manager was nice enough to say he was going to comp dessert for us and then forgot to take that off the bill as well.
  57. But we both agreed upon the outstanding quality of the steak.
  58. Even the fries and aolie was ridiculously good.

Not what we expected - on any level!

by flytba

For $160 a steak, with everything a la carte, you would expect the steak to be outstanding - but it wasn't!

I wanted to take my wife out for a nice dinner for her birthday. After reading the reviews, I decided on The Cut and made reservations. We were on time and they seated us right away. When we got to our table my wife commented that it looked like an ultra modern 1950's diner. It was very loud and crowded with many tables very close together and not much room. Very unromantic. Our chairs kept getting bumped by people being seated or getting up and we had to duck the waiters serving food, as well as holding our water glasses from tipping over. You could hear everything everyone was saying all around you and some of the things were very private and should not have been said in public, so we did not talk very much. My wife ordered the $160 steak and I ordered the $60 steak. We tried each others and there really was not much difference. They were very good - just not outstanding. We have had better steaks for a lot less money. The sides, desserts, and coffee were very good as well. The service was average with us having to ask several times for more water and coffee. I was surprised to see on the bill an extra charge for bread when we asked for more. Our bill came to $350, but the reason it was so inexpensive was because we did not have drinks, other than coffee and water, and did not have a salad or appetizer. The couple next to us did and they were very shocked when their bill came to over $500.

All in all, it was a pretty expensive meal, really not worth that much money, and the decor, seating, and noisiness of the restaurant, make it a forgettable and disappointing experience. We will not come here again.

OVERRATED

by MaksMom

We decided to go here for my husband's 40th, and I will highlight the evening. Arrived and was seated during some sort of alarm/flashing light was going off. I had a slight headache from the strobe lights. Did not get the meat preview/overview, meat was not done properly and had to send back and ate it 10 minutes after everyone else had eaten their food. Double-charged for drinks and when we brought all this to the manager's attention, not really apologetic. For this kind of $, I expect a lot more. Especially because Spago is completely opposite. Will not go back.

DISAPPOINTING overrated and terribly slow service

by debbiew2005

I was excited to go here after reading a lot of the great reviews.

The food here isn't bad- BUT they are charging outstanding food prices, and the food is a far, far cry from that.

The menu is so expensive- much moreso than the much better Maestros.

Also, we waited over 1 hour for our food.

My friend's steak was supposed to be med well and they did it med rare- when he asked for it to be redone, it came back virtually inedible.

The overpriced dessert was only so-so.

When we asked for more bread, they told us there would be a $6 charge!

  • Pros: brussel sprout dish was good
  • Cons: vastly overpriced, cannot do anything other than med rare,

Highly entertaining scene at Sidebar

by ATLAX

Echoing comments from others, Sidebar is a great spot albeit only once in a while because it is overwhelming to the senses.

On my most recent foray to Sidebar, the staff members were great (i.e. very pleasant, attentive, no attitude), the drinks strong and the appetizers delicious.

As to the people watching - CLASSIC!!! Including several hookers, one porn star, Russian and New Jersey mafia, a transvestite, too many gold-diggers, several Cougars, plenty of the clueless, the bewildered and the surgically-enhanced.

  • Pros: Great service/drink/food, crazy fun people watching
  • Cons: Sensory overload

Overpriced Confusing Presentation

by Stanley225

If you want to be swept up into the world of over-glamorizing steak, then this place is for you. The room is cold and noisy. The view is of the entry and exit ramp for cars coming and going from the hotel. It's a scene, not relaxing nor is the food worth the price. Try Dan Tana's or the Grill. They always have had good steak and you know what you will get. Also try the chains like Arnie Mortons and Ruth's Chris, the original shrines to a piece of meat.

  • Pros: Great Variety But Confusing
  • Cons: Price, Room, and Service
