The Ballard Cut

I recently had dinner at The Ballard Cut, and it was truly an incredible experience. My friend ordered the 40-ounce steak, while I had the aged New York strip, and both were outstanding. I haven’t tasted a steak that good in a very long time — perfectly cooked and full of flavor. Mine came with an espresso rub, which I didn’t personally love since it was a bit strong for my taste, but still enjoyable. The green chimichurri butter on the side didn’t add much flavor, though the steak honestly didn’t need it — it stood out beautifully on its own. The sides were just as memorable. The smashed crispy potatoes were amazing — crunchy on the outside, creamy and soft inside. We also had the green beans, which included both light yellow and dark green beans, and they were delicious and fresh. The atmosphere was absolutely beautiful — the vibe, the music, everything came together to create such a welcoming, stylish energy. I especially enjoyed the Black Manhattan cocktail (so much that I had two), and for dessert, the butterscotch chocolate layer pudding was divine. It was gluten-free, not too sweet, and the perfect finish to the meal. Overall, it was a lovely night out with amazing food, great drinks, and a fantastic atmosphere. I would absolutely recommend The Ballard Cut to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience in Ballard.

Delicious food and drinks. Good Gluten free options.
