"American Cut was my favorite restaurant for years. Last night was our first time going since the Covid shutdown. We won’t be back. It was my husband and I’s Valentine’s dinner, in which we were dressed to the nines for. First of all, we had a 6:00 reservation, and got there at 5:20 ish to have a drink before dinner. The gentleman in a suit who I am assuming was a manager offered us a table early. We were obviously there for a nice dinner as I was in a nice dress with heels and my husband in a suit. He seated us downstairs, which is more like a bar instead of fine dining. We made it clear we could sit at the bar and have a pre dinner drink to wait on a table. Who goes to a nice restaurant for a date and wants to sit in front of tvs, with people sitting at the bar with blue jeans on? Definitely not date worthy, with no ambiance at all. We want Mitt back (the old manager)! However, our server was wonderful. Secondly, the menu and food is horrible. There’s obviously a new chef. We used to love the wagyu, which they understandably didn’t have. We ordered our usual Caesar salad which was awful, and bland. Bring back the old Caesar salad! I ordered the New York strip and my husband got the pastrami crusted rib eye and Brussel sprouts. My steak was bland but edible. My husbands was the worst piece of overcooked meat we’ve both ever had. Who came up with the recipe? It’s horrible! I seriously wouldn’t feed it to a dog. The Brussels were incredibly chewy. At this point, we were done and won’t be back. We both barely touched anything on our plates. Save your time and money and go somewhere else as this is not fine dining. They need new management, a menu revamp and new chef. They definitely won’t last long in Buckhead."
