Raw Oysters without Cocktail Sauce?. I was quite surprised when our oysters on the half shell were served. When we ordered the waitress asked if we would like anything else. I said I would like Tabasco with the oysters. She gave me a strange look. When the oysters were served, they provided three sauces, not one of them cocktail sauce, and no Tabasco, and no lemon or horseradish. I asked for cocktail sauce, the server acted is if they didn't have any. I told her to forget it. The oysters weren't bad with the sauces they prepared, but paleeze... I don't care how nouveau a restaurant claims to be, I expect raw oysters to be served the way the are at every other exceptional raw bar.

Food only decent, but too expansive for what it is. There is nothing really special about the food. We ordered the linguini with shrimps as one of the entree, and you could count the number of shrimps.... they were very few. We ordered the tuna as entree as well and the taste wasn't refined. For starters, we had the octopus, which was just ok, but not great, and the mussels, which was very bland.

For the price, you would expect more refined and interesting flavors.

The atmosphere is great though. The service is really good. The place makes for a very pleasant evening. Too bad the food isn't more satisfying.

Citysearch Editorial Review. This Guthrie restaurant gets an under-the-sea makeover with modern-chic chairs the color of seafoam; wall etchings that emulate seashells; steel accoutrements that reflect light like the ocean; and bulbous light fixtures that hang from the ceilings like water drops. A new venture from chef extraordinaire Tim McKee (La Belle Vie, Barrio, Solera), Sea Change offers an open, inviting and celebratory dining room for Guthrie goers and seafood lovers. Like the bold, bustling restaurant itself, the plate presentations are contemporary and modern, showcasing the unique colors, shapes and tastes of the sea. And the menu ranges from affordable apps and raw bites to larger seafood entrees perfect for any after-theater experience.

you'll enjoy your experience. I'm not entirely sure what people are ranting about...amazing space, spectacular service and superior food. Our waiter respected our time, didn't rush us and was incredibly polite. Each dish was perfectly prepared and arrived in perfect time. No complaints. We were taken care of.

If you think more money=more food, perhaps you should try Burger King. Cue delivers exceptional value because their menu features cuisine and an actual menu I was excited to order from.

If you are looking for an upscale dining experience, I recommend Cue.

Beautiful space, Friendly service!. I've looked at reviews on sites like this many times, and I've always toyed with the idea of writing a review myself. I guess it just takes either a very good or a very bad experience to motivate oneself... I was in Cue on Friday night with a good friend. We were honestly a bit worried that we would end up spending too much money by even entering the building. What actually happened kind of restored my faith in humanity--the economy is in the toilet, I payed $50 to refuel my tiny little car that very same afternoon--need I explain why sales people can begin to feel like sharks who smell bl**d (apparently I am not allowed by City Search to use that word with 2 'o's in it--I didn't realize it was a swear word), in the water? Actually our server was that 'Minnesota' kind of friendly--I instantly knew that she didn't want to rifle through my pockets for my last dime, which was enough to work the nervous kink out of my shoulder. In fact, we were surprised by the fact that there was a live jazz band setting up, preparing to offer us a free show! My girlfriend and I settled in to our cozy booth, and ordered a cocktail. After catching up on some long overdue gossip, we decided to try out the wine flight "paired with the jazz music"--"big reds with big band," or something of that sort... The "Wine Captain"--a very military-sounding, yet very friendly brunette woman--came over to pour the wines and chatted with us about them. Her enthusiasm was infectious, but please don't quiz me on what she told us--all I know is that the wines she poured for us were really good, and, yes, by gosh I even think they "vibed" with the music. We enjoyed our booth for quite a while, and felt completely comfortable even though we only ordered crab cakes (yum!), and an entree between us. Our water glasses were kept full, and we felt well-served (yet undisturbed), while we caught up on conversation and enjoyed the music. Honestly, the night was just... perfect.
