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.
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…
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!
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 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.
