I visited Old Cutler Inn for brunch and this was my first time visiting it. The brunch is priced $50 p/p and you have the option to add unlimited mimosas or bellinis for $25 per adult. Food was good, but I wish they had more variety to choose from. Their buffet area is kind of small and they also have a menu to order some items á la carte. Service needs some improvement. I will go back in the future to give them another chance.

My husband and I celebrated our anniversary here last night. We had the pasta, conch fritters, Cobb salad, and Mac and cheese. All the food was great and service was prompt. Love the patio and bar area. Cocktails were also good as was the wine selection. We will be visiting again and hope they consider adding a weekend brunch.

We had high expectations for Old Cutler Inn. The place is charming, small but cozy inside. Unfortunately, the experience didn’t match our expectations. The food was just average, not bad but nothing memorable. The real issue was the extremely slow service. It took over 40 minutes to receive a simple bowl during a Sunday lunch at noon, and the restaurant wasn’t even full. I shared my disappointment with the waiter and the manager applied a discount, which was appreciated, but never came to the table to apologize or acknowledge the delay. They definitely need to improve their systems and service. Overall, there wasn’t anything compelling enough, food or service, to make us want to return. The discount was a nice gesture, but we weren’t there for a bargain; we were hoping for a pleasant Sunday lunch.

Our food was great ! Atmosphere was amazing but our service was subpar, our male server with glasses was not attentive nor helpful and gave us misinformation about the Brunch menu.

I wish I could give a 5 star review but this service was not worth the $45 per person for breakfast.

I will try again but not worth it at all.

Unfortunately the dinning experience was disappointing. Our waiter was friendly but slow and not very attentive. The menu is ok but not extraordinary. When our order was finally taken it took a while for the appetizers to arrive. We were almost done with these when the waiter showed up, apologized and informed us that the kitchen had ran out of BBQ Ribs. 2 of my guests decided on the Flatiron Steak instead. We waited about 40 minutes till we got our mains. All of them were lukewarm at the most. A friend ordered the appetizer sliders for her main course. She ended up pulling pieces of wrapping paper out from underneath the pattys. We brought this to the attention of the manager. As soon as we were finished I ordered the check. We didn’t want to wait even longer. To be fair, the sliders were completely taken off the check and we received a 10 $ discount on each of the Flatiron things. I paid in cash and didn’t want to leave that at the table. The waiter was out of sight again and the hostess was not seen either. When he finally went to our table he didn’t find the check and he didn’t see us waiting at the hostess counter. Maybe he thought we disappeared without paying. I gave the money to another waiter. We just wanted to get out of there. Despite this unsatisfactory experience I gave 20 % gratuity. It wasn’t the waiters fault that the kitchen messed up. The place has been open for 3 months now. That should be enough to straighten out any problems. The kitchen has to improve considerably. I am not sure I will give this place another try.

We didn’t have a reservation, but the host was able to seat us quickly, which we appreciated. Unfortunately, the service went downhill from there. It took about 10 minutes for our waiter to greet us, and another 10 minutes just to get water and place our drink order.

The kitchen seemed to be experiencing delays or issues—our food took a long time to arrive, and when it did, it was underwhelming. The Korean BBQ short rib was a generous portion, but it was very dry. The pork schnitzel, on the other hand, was decent.

The restaurant wasn’t particularly busy, and it looked like they had a full staff, yet the service was incredibly slow. Throughout the meal, no one checked on us for additional drinks or water, which made the experience even more frustrating. Even had to wait a long time to get the check and pay when there were only a handful of tables left.

Would definitely not recommend…

This restaurant opened in August 2025. We are residents of PB and live about a mile from this restaurant. In the early days, we ate at the original restaurant across the street behind the old Farm Stores drive-thru. We decided to wait a few months to allow the business to work out any kinks or problems. Our family were in the restaurant business and that is normal…give them time and all is worked out! We’re happy to say that OCI has got it down pack now and has brought a truly brilliant culinary experience and creative cocktail mixology our area. Mind you transforming this previous building that was once a local bank into a stunning restaurant takes huge capital, a lot of patience and talent to get it all done!

We dined there on a Friday at around 3:15pm which was perfect timing. Walked in and got a spot at the bar right away. The atmosphere here is stellar. All modern décor, charming lighting and luxurious design. The open bar from inside to outside is refreshing during our winter cool season.

We were served by “Germany & Joselyn” and they were amazing. They made suggestions from the menu, answered questions and were very accommodating. My wife had some excellent wine selections, and I opted for a draft beers. We watched in amazement as they made their famous cocktails at the bar which BTW their happy hour is from 4-6 pm on M-F and is a great value.

We started with their crispy smoked BBQ wings and they were tasty, tender with a great sweet sauce. We opted for lunch entrees with my wife having the smash burger and I had the turkey club sandwich. Both were huge and made to perfection. What I’m going to rave about here is their French-fried potatoes. They were cooked perfectly with a right crisp on the outside and soft & moist on the inside.

We were fortunate to meet one of the partners, Ben, that came in and introduced himself and was most gracious in chatting with us. If you wonder why you drive by here and routinely see the parking area packed, there is a reason and its time to come in and try it. We’ll be back for sure! Thanks OCI!

Kevin was our server and he was super friendly. The bartenders made some fantastic cocktails, my favorite was the guava margarita. All the food came out delicious, between my friends and I we tried 8 different plates and nothing disappointed. I’m so excited this place opened up down the street from my house.

New Review: Redemption Review ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Okay… I don’t do redemption reviews lightly, but Old Cutler Inn earned this one.
My husband and I gave it another go (twice) after our initial bad experience. Truthfully, the only reason we kept gave it a go was because it was opening week when we came AND it’s the only cocktail bar in Cutler Bay (so… slim pickings lol). We came back a third time just to be sure before writing this, and I’m happy to say—it finally hit.
They’ve come a long way since opening week. Service, drinks, food—everything has noticeably improved, and I can confidently say we’ll continue coming back.

My favorite drink is still the White Pearl (pro tip: order it without the truffle). Another pro tip: order the lychee martini if you want the same vibe but a bigger pour.

Fan favorites so far:
Fish dip
Burger
Chicken sandwich for lunch
Honestly… 5 stars for the chicken sandwich alone.

Shoutout to Tony behind the bar (where we always sit). He’s been here since opening, and with every visit it just keeps getting better. I think the sound of becoming regulars is officially starting hit.

Original Review: Old Cutler Inn is a fresh addition to the Cutler Bay area, giving locals something they’ve been craving: craft drinks and inventive cocktails. Since it’s a new spot, I’m willing to give it another shot as they’re probably still finding their rhythm.
We couldn’t snag a reservation but got lucky with bar seating. Our bartender was fantastic, and the cocktails were on point. You can tell the owners poured a lot of heart into the place, and aesthetically, it’s very pleasant.
That said, the food and overall service could use some improvement. Most of our dishes arrived at room temperature. We were excited about the bread section, but the rolls needed more butter to truly shine. The French onion soup, however, was excellent! Oysters were slightly shelly but still enjoyable.
We ordered the steak and frites medium rare, but it came out extremely rare. I had to send it back—my first time doing so—and was surprised when they recooked the same steak, leaving the fries cold. We also had a minor hiccup with clearing our plates, which felt a bit awkward.
Desserts were just okay, and the espresso martini didn’t hit the mark (I don’t think they used real coffee), but the White Pearl cocktail was phenomenal.
Overall, I’d give Old Cutler Inn a second chance. If you’re considering visiting, give them a little time to iron out the kinks. For cocktails and small bites, I’m definitely coming back.

I’ve been wanting to try this place for a while. I’ve had three friends who visited and none of them liked it. Not a good sign, but I like to try things for myself.

I came here with my daughter on a Monday evening at 6pm. They were already booked. The dining room is very small. The restaurant looks bigger from the outside than it is inside. There were two seats at the bar though, so we sat there.

The bartender was very nice and friendly. We shared a White Pearl drink. It was very good. It usually comes with truffle in it, but the bartender asked if we wanted to add it and we decided to try the drink without it. It was pretty strong so kudos to the bartender.

For dinner we shared the 6 oysters. I ordered the BBQ wings. It comes with 6 wings to an order. My daughter ordered the spicy vodka Lumanche. The oysters were great! My wings were delicious! The pasta however was not good. It was VERY bland. They really need to adjust their sauce. It tasted like nothing (but a little spicy). There was no salt and no acidity to it. We asked the bartender for some salt and added it, but it really didn’t make any difference. It was a pretty good size order and my daughter took home her leftovers.

We ran into a friend there and went to say hi. She said, “This place sucks!” I really want this place to succeed, but they HAVE to get the food together! People don’t want to pay $30 for pasta that doesn’t have any flavor, after paying $10 to park there.

Our bill was $100 after tip. They need to either lower their prices or make the food worth the cost. Otherwise they will never have any return business. Once everyone has tried it, they’ll be the last time they come. Fire your chef and get the food where it needs to be if you don’t want to go out of business.
