Everything on the menu was delicious, and trust me we tried almost everything. Their selection of non-alcoholic beverage options was fantastic for us non-drinkers. And the staff was so kind as to stay late and not rush us even though our dinner ran long.

This was our first time at Ballard Cut and we really loved it. The food was really quite good, the service was excellent and the ambience was nice on a Wednesday evening. Our only complaint is that we wish they would indicate which menue items are gluten free. Otherwise not complaints, hight recommended.
