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…

Great place for people watching. – A fun, hip place. I wasn't too crazy about the food. Had the pasta and chicken pie as an appetizer and thought it was just okay. For entree I had their grilled halibut, and I tried my friend's lamb. Both were good, but not amazing. I can't remember what I had for dessert but it was something chocolate-like. Not sure if I would go back for the food.
Why is this place so trendy now? – I ate here years ago when it opened and barely remember it. The food was mediocre and the atmosphere was nice, but nothing to write home about. I have been shocked recently to keep hearing that it is now a celebrity hotspot. My experience was that it was a nice, passable restaurant that I wouldn't go back to (too many others in NYC I like better.)
Good ostrich – If you can spend a little extra this place really has it all.. From the decour to the food its really a top nich place.. I urge you to try the grilled ostrich its out of this world..!
Delicious! – The food was delicious. I had the pate to start and the cod as my main course, both were amazing. I also had a sip of my friend's lobster bisque and it was incredible. We ordered two bottles of wine both complimented our food very well. Gratuity was included in the check and honestly for the great service and yummy food we would have paid just as much, perhaps more. I read some of the negative reviews and am amazed to see the ridiculous reasons for the bad reviews. If your party is late YES your table will not w... read more
Great experience! – My girlfriends and I were visiting NY from out of town. We had heard a lot about Butter and decided to try it out. We sat downstairs and had a great waiter. He was very nice and attentive. They have a DJ downstairs playing music - which was nice because it was a Saturday night and we were going out after dinner. It just seems to keep the mood very upbeat and exciting. Our food was fabulous - everything we tried had such an amazing taste. The food is not too light or too heavy. I would definitely recommend... read more
I've had Butter... – Butter is a beautiful restaurant and is certainly worth a visit. The food is wonderful, ambiance is pretty and romantic and downstairs lounge is trendy for after dinner drinks or late night socializing. The only thing that was sub-par here was the service. Very attentive and knowledgeable at times, and then forgetful and absent at others. Try it for yourself- it was a nice experience but not the greatest dining I've had in New York.
Amazing!...(Long Review, but Worth the Read) – I went to Butter this past weekend and truly had one of the best, if not the best ever, dining experiences of my life, and make no mistake; I am no stranger to dining. I have visited some of the greatest restaurants in the world--from Paris to Los Angeles, Milan to Chicago and in my very own New York. I took a special guest to the restaurant on a Saturday night for a celebration, and we decided to partake of the chef's tasting menu. The waitress asked us about our likes and disl... read more
I have a new favorite – We selected Butter for its location, not its reviews. We'd been to Gramercy Tavern the night before. Well, were we surprised to have our favorite meal, friendly service, absolutely beautiful surroundings ...a new favorite restaurant! The food was amazing. And we're foodies, so we have eaten in many of the world's finest restaurants. The wait staff was friendly and there when we needed them, but disappeared when we didn't. I will definitely put this at the top of the list when we return to NYC in July ... read more
Great Restaurant – I usually dine at Butter about three times a month and have to say, and I really enjoy it! The food is consistenly great, wine and atmosphere... everything.
