Cutters Crabhouse

Cutters Crabhouse is a seafood restaurant at 2001 Western Ave in downtown Seattle, close to Pike Place Market and the Elliott Bay waterfront. The setting places the restaurant among the market, city streets and working waterfront that shape the area’s identity, with views across Elliott Bay providing a central part of the dining experience.

The menu follows a Pacific Northwest seafood style. Crab, salmon, clams, shrimp and halibut form the core of the offering, with additional seafood selections rounding out the menu. The focus is on regional ingredients and familiar preparations that let the seafood remain the main feature of the meal.

The address also works for visitors exploring central Seattle on foot, with the restaurant positioned near one of the city’s best-known landmarks.

Cutters can suit several types of occasions. Seafood fans can build a meal around crab, salmon, shellfish or halibut, while groups can use the reservation service to plan a table in advance.
