Best Dish: The best dish is a tie between the delicious beefy burger and the sweet succulent crab cakes.Β The crab cakes were moist and delicious but how can you resist a big juicy burger?
Overall: Great adult atmosphere. This is not a family place this is the space for mature grown up fun.
Last Friday we spent date night at one of NYC’s hottest venues. The Cutting Room is a great bar/lounge restaurant and concert all in one. Since our visit was right before Memorial Day we were swept up by a swarm of service men and women celebrating fleet week and enjoying the fun at ease atmosphere of the Cutting Room. As an added bonus the evenings entertainment was a musical tribute to the troops, courtesy of Marcus GoldhaberΒ and his amazing band.
We took our seats which were located directly in front of the stage. Β The intimate space allows fans to truly enjoy a unique entertainment experience.
As we waited anxiously for showtime we ordered a round of cocktails and appetizers. My companion had the and I chose the “Figgy Pop” a bubbly mix of fig infused vodka and soda.
To start we ordered the lamb sliders and the Pu Pu Platter. The lamb sliders were delicious.Β They are well seasoned and served with cucumber and a creamy yogurt sauce. These morsels are very tasty but be advised they are more like lamb meatballs. This was perfect for us since we also ordered the platter which consists of a tasty assortment of finger food favorites. This app can easily satisfy up to four adults.
The platter consists of tangy wings, light shrimp dumplings, veggie spring rolls, savory potato samosas and my favorite mini hot dogs.
By the time we finished our apps the band had hit its stride and the crowd was enjoying every note.
For our next course we went with a flat bread pizza. The Pesto Prosciutto flat bread is a light crispy pizza topped with cured salted prosciutto Pine Nuts and Parmesan Cheese.
After the last slice of pizza our entrees arrived; we ordered theΒ Super Lump Crab Cakes which are served withΒ Mescalin Greens and a Spicy Remoulade.Β The fresh bitter greens worked well paired with the savory sweet crab.
For our last entree we devoured the 24th street burger; a thick juicyΒ 8 oz. Black Angus Beef patty topped with melted Pepper Jack Cheese, Bacon, Avocado and tasty chipotle Mayo. This is a great burger! The meat is flavorful,Β tender, and the chipotle mayo adds the right amount of spice. The burger comes with a generous helping of crispy seasoned fries.
Despite our full bellies we simply could not pass up dessert.Β We ordered the banana split a sweet treat to cap off a night of great food and music.
As far as the venue, The Cutting Room is the right space for a date or a night out with friends. The soft romantic lighting is the ideal setting for enjoying a serenade and some premium cocktails. The musical talent offered by the space is as diverse as its menu with a plethora of exciting acts to choose from. You can see R&B crooners one week and a wild drag show the next! The space is lively energetic and some how still laid back enough for a low key night out.Β For information on the menu and the show schedule please visit www.thecuttingroom.com.
