Cut: A Classic Steakhouse with a Contemporary Twist

Filed under: Dining

Wolfgang Puck is credited with redefining fine dining in America. Indeed, the award-winning Austrian-born chef and celebrated restaurateur has built a vast restaurant empire with locations around the world, beginning with his flagship Spago, which opened in 1982 (famous for its haute cuisine pizzas), and later Chinois and Postrio Bar & Grill, among many others. His trademark dishes have revolutionized the culinary industry.

In 2006, Puck opened Cut, a sleek, innovative and contemporary steakhouse complete with a lounge called "sidecar", located in the Richard Meier-designed Beverly Wilshire Four Seasons' Hotel in the heart of Beverly Hills. After only one year in operation, the restaurant earned a coveted one star ranking from the Michelin Guide--no small accomplishment. Beloved by its many patrons, Cut has been nominated for a Luxist Readers' Choice Award for Best Steakhouse.

The Newseum project on Pennsylvania Avenue in D.C. is more than just another museum in Washington D.C. The project will have 135 apartments, retail space and, as was just announced, a new Wolfgang Puck restaurant to be named "Source by Wolfgang Puck." The Newseum located on Pennsylvania Avenue will replace the old Newseum which was in Arlington, Virginia. The complex will open in 2007. The building includes a large facade which looks out on Pennsylvania Avenue and the National Mall while letting the public see inside to the visitors and displays. It will be Puck's first foray into high-end dining in Washington.
