About this business
Editorial fromOddly enough, the titular ingredient can scarcely be discerned on the menu at Butter, an ambitious dining room situated over a trendy subterranean drink-and-dance scene (the Birch Lounge). The decor could be called Adirondack-chic, with…

Speechless.... – Genuinely, I am left with so much to say. It's simply wonderful. Atmosphere, food, service; all amazing.. I was quite excited to go, despite my frustrations about Butter being closed on Sundays, went, and was subsequently perfect including the dessert!
Meh. – I should make clear up front that my boyfriend and I have no interest in "scene," we're just looking for good food. Which wasn't at Butter. The food wasn't so much BAD as it was just PLAIN. I had a fish dish that involved bacon and even that lacked flavor. How can bacon lack flavor? I was bored, every dish was edible and well cooked... but there was no surprise, no diversity of flavor... nothing that said "here is something passionate." On the plus side, I liked the atmosphere (even where we sat in the basement) and o... read more
Exceeded expectations – Went to Butter during NY Restaurant Week, despite lukewarm reviews on the site. Was pleasantly surprised by the food and service - much better than expected! We had beet salad and goat cheese salad (OK) and butternut soup (great!) to start, grouper and duck for entrees (both excellent) and passion fruit flan (delicious) / apple crisp pie (only average) for dessert. The waiter was caring and helpful - we never felt snubbed, even though Restaurant Week service in other restaurants generally comes with a... read more
Can't wait to go back! – This place was great and the ostridge was tasty, but expensive. Best ostridge i've had in the city!
What A Night – Let's get one thing straight, I?ve never been inspired to write a review. After our experience last night, I felt I needed to share. My co-workers and I work around the corner from butter, yet none of us had been. I?m so glad we did. First off, we were greeted by the most gracious host staff, who treated us like celebrities even though we didn?t have a reservation. We were given a comfy banquet upstairs that fit all five of us perfectly. After we ordered, we were greeted with a little spoon with a creamy risot... read more
Twice in one week! – My husband and I went to butter last week for their restaurant week special. We were blown away by everything about it, from the attentive service, to the stunning decor, and of course the food. Normally restaurant week meals are small and not impressive. Not so here. My shrimp appitizer was delightful with a tasty sauce with a hint of nuts. The beef short ribs were perfect for the cold weather. I topped the meal off with a warm apple crisp, that put my mother to shame. We were so thrilled with our meals... read more
I will be honest – Out of sheer curiousity I came to butter- The decor is well done but the bathrooms were broken down and ratty. A surprise for the price you pay for a meal. I was ignored by the front desk So i made my way to the Bar upstairs and was glad i did. Being a weekend night i was surprised at how attentive- warm- and charming my dinner at the busy bar was. The food was.... good- but not great. What will make me return and tell a friend was the bartender- that made me feel I can sit there- eat, drink, talk- and not... read more
Best Dining Experience in years... – We were referred to Butter by my daughter who raved about the place and ended up having the best dining experience we've had in a very long time. We were given a warm greating by the maitre'd and our server was so charming, and reccomended a fabulous red wine from Rozak Ranch. The display, portion size, and flavor of the Halibut were dynamic and wonderfully displayed, the best Halibut I have ever had. I found out the chef is from Daniel, and the pastry chef (go for the chocolate cake) is ... read more
Great Wine list, impeccable service – There are so many wonderful things to say about this place. To begin, the atmosphere is breathtaking. We sat downstairs in a comfortable banquet for 3. The place is trendy, but doesn't try too hard. The food is outstanding, I had the braised short ribs which were well seasoned and filling. The wine list is very extensive, perfectly selected, and reasonably priced. The only con is that we had to wait 20 minutes for our table, but we had a few drinks and they have two cool bars.
