We have been many times especially when they were at their former location. A group of us went last night. The waitress started off lousy and improved as our meal progressed. However, the music was so loud, we could not have a conversation at the table and could not hear the waitress. At one point, the music stopped and the waitress said "finally". We all thought the same thing. Also, the addition of 18% tip is offensive. We always tip well, but it is always based on the waiter/waitress. I can't complain about the food, because it is delicious. However, I can find delicious food at other restaurants that don't have extremely loud music and 18% mandatory tip.

When I first walked in the atmosphere was great. I ordered my food and sat at the bar to wait. Gratuity was already included and I was not told that so I actually gave a second tip. I was never actually asked if I wanted a drink or anything while I waited. Had I known it was going to literally take an hour for my food to come out, I probably would have ordered something to drink or maybe not ordered food. I went up to the lady at the counter and asked if she could check on my food because I had been waiting for an hour. She said "sorry sir you should have reminded me". Really!? I saw several to go Uber /Doordash type orders coming out and my order never came out. When it finally came out, needless to say, it was pretty lukewarm. There is nothing like lukewarm $40 oxtails! I guess I should have walked up to the counter a lot sooner and reminded her that I put it in order? Disappointing, but the music was good, and the Knicks' playoff game was on.

You know it can be a little cliché to state all was great but when it is the truth, it just is the truth. I had an amazing dinner as always and my dish was mouthwatering delicious! I love this place from when it was off Battlefield Boulevard! Now do you have to make sure you funds allocated for such a dish...yes! However, you will not be disappointed! (I had and always get that amazing Ox Tail)

I was there for a coworkers birthday party Friday night. Great place. Best waitress, excellent food and Rajazz playing. Winning night all the way around. The owner came to the table to make sure everything was running smoothly. ?Parking: If you want to park close get there early. Especially weekends.

The food was excellent! It's a little pricey if your tryingto feed a family of fourHowever, you need to treat yourself from time to time.
PLEASE READ THIS REVIEW! I was a loyal customer of this place at least 8 years ago, and I can tell everyone who reads this review that this place has truly regressed from what it used to be.Back then, the food was flavored well. Back then, you did not get CHARGED A 20% GRATUITY FEE, NO MATTER HOW LARGE THE GROUP IS. Back then, the music was a nice addition to the background, now the live music is so loud people do not even bother talking because the music is so ffng loud. Back then you did not come to the restaurant and be told "We dont have clean silverware" How else are you supposed to eat ox tails!I LAMENT HOW FAR FROM GRACE THIS PLACE HAS FALLEN. For what it is worth, if going to the other location on Battlefield when things were so much better, I would take it, but after the move and the Pandemic, Cutlass Grille went from being a nice occasional treat to a ffnng OVERPRICED place with unseasoned food. NOT GOING BACK.

the atmosphere was wonderful. the staff was very friendly. we arrived about 40 mins before they closed and they were still so friendly to us. we got the kids chicken tenders, crab stuffed salmon, the grilled chicken and avocado salad, and the oxtails (no picture sorry, started digging in before we could get one).. I believe our server was also the bartender and her name was Jessica (I may be wrong) but she was very nice and attentive. all that to say, my family and I will be returning to this restaurant. 10/10. thank you for your wonderful service and food!!Kid-friendliness: they were so kind to my daughters. I have two. the kids menu was perfect, the chicken tenders were perfect and not burnt or too crispy. my kids enjoyed the music and food!

Lamb chops were very good. Curry chicken was decent and the drink I had was very good. Went with a large group. Now please tell me if the staff knows it has an area for a large group and it is reserved, why not have menus and silverware readily available for all seats and why say tables are not available in reserved area for the folks that reserved it unless someone is act seated there? Makes no sense.Secondly why reserve another large group an hour apart. My family was essentially rushed out. It was embarrassing.Lastly if it is happy hour and we ordered items during happy hour… honor that and don’t charge regular prices! $70 per person is nonsense.

The food was pretty good and the time it took to receive our food was timely. However our service was terrible. We had a wait before our waitress came to take drink orders, once the young lady bought us our food we never received silverware or napkins, we had to flag a young man down and ask him for some. The young lady came back maybe once to check on us and then we had to wait for our check. Another gentleman checked on us and brought us to go containers. Pretty disappointing. Probably a good thing that the gratuity is automatically added because the service was not up to par.
I tried the Cutlass Grille out for the first time on Thursday. I made a reservation for a large party.We did have to wait forty five minutes because there was a large party that had arrived prior to our reserved slot. Once we were seated the waitress began talking our drink and food orders. She was awesome. The food was definitely worth the wait. It was the best food I had in months.I will definitely go there again.

I'm a countryboy at heart, so it's a tall task for me to find great food in the Virginia Beach area. But, I can put that task to rest, this was byfar the best food I've had since leaving Mississippi. The vibe, food and the customer service were ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. MAMBAMENTALITY#8#24#33#81
