Not our first time at Montlake Cut. The service was excellent and our server, Haley, was knowledgeable about the menu. The ambiance was absent largely due to the noise level, which was a 4+ at times. Nonetheless, the food continued to be excellent. The whole branzino was perfectly cooked, beautifully deboned and the sauce was very good though a bit salty. Still the best I have had in Dallas! My wife had the sole milanase, which also was excellent. The side was a nice grilled asparagus. Need reservations on Saturday evening. Continues to be a top seafood restaurant.

Food was very good but it is the first time I’ve ever seen a drink returned to the table. Totally bizarre and truly poor customer service.
