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…

My best anniversary was at butter, great service, amazing meal – The attractive dinning room and kind, attentive maitre'd made a great first impression, but I fell in love at the first coarse. If it is on the menu (the waiter mentioned that the menu changes frequently to reflect what is fresh in the current market) you have to try the stuffed soft shell crab appitizer. For the main coarse my wife loved the halibit but I couldn't get away from my veal. The waitstaff was extreemly friendly; I couldnt be happier with the servic... read more
Well worth the wait! – Flew in for the weekend from Miami and was referred by the Soho Grand. Butter went above and beyond. We waited about 20 minutes because I wanted to sit upstairs in a more formal setting, it was our anniverary. The Maitre'd granted my request and asked us if we were happy with our table and indeed I was. We were showered with champange and a midcourse, and the filet with the maitre'd butter melted in my mouth. The server acted like she enjoyed working there and was very detail oriented. I have no compla... read more
What a disappointment – It was the worst restaurant experience I have had in the last seven years of living in New York City. We were there 10 minutes early for our reservation. After waiting 45 minutes at the bar (during this time three other couples who came after us were seated) I complained and I was told that this was New York City and I should get used to it. " Have you ever been to Tao?" one of the maitre d' assistants asked me. Apparently they are aspiring to be like Tao by seating their reservations half an hour or ... read more
There are alot better places in nyc – So I decided to try this supposedly great spot for restaurant week. We sat down , decided to order from the ala carte menu since we didnt like anything on the price fixe (which ended up to be the same amount) ordered cesar salad and sea bass (which ended up tasting more like sea a**) cesar dressing was more like mustard dressing , they wouldnt give us any more bread - said they didnt have any more - it took them about 45 min to deliver us our salad- the waiter was nice and bought us a dr... read more
Not worth the hype – I definitely will not be returning to Butter. First, my seven girlfriends and I had to squeeze into a booth intended for 6 - we were so squished our plates touched, our legs touched and our purses were our backrests. Into our appetizer, an adjacent table became available, and we asked if we could use it, but the waiter said it most likely was being used. Weird how the table was empty for the next hour and a half. Food was good, but the dishes never came out at the same time, and each time we had to remin... read more
Over rated – Read the reviews about butter before I went there but I decided to go anyway despite the recent mixed reviews. The food was pricey and was mediocre at best. I went with a friend who went to butter in january and absolutely loved it. She changed her mind and said that this was the last time that she would go there. Aparently they changed their menu, possibly a new chef, and the new menu not only was small but the food wasn't nearly as good as it used to be. The restaurant is nice UPSTAIRS, the downstairs isn't th... read more
The Maitre'd Rocks!!! – It was my anniversary and first time to Butter and despite the mixed reviews I gave it a try. Not only is Aaron georgeous and dressed to perfection, he knew how important the night was for us and gave a selection of tables on two different floors. "No" was never an option for Aaron. He gave us the whole nine... champagne, midcourse, and anniversary dessert and checked on us frequently in an non obtrusive way. All that and a wonderful wine list for 60 bucks a person exceeded my expectations and made Bu... read more
Boo! – We paid over $300 for a meal, just to be rushed through the end of it and asked to please leave b/c they needed to turn over our table. Not recommended if you want a nice liesurely night of dinner and drinking with friends (unless you a huge group of women who are squealing, screaming and doing shots, you're more than welcome, apparently) It was dissappointing. But the food was amazing.
What a nice surprise! – We went to the restaurant despite the mixed reviews we had read, and what a nice surprise! The wait staff was very friendly, the service was prompt and the food was really excellent. We ordered cocktails, and they were done very well - not surprising given the reputation, but still nice. The food was great - and one person in our party ordered the steak - which nearly melted in his mouth (this guy is picky). There were a couple of celebs when we were there, but it wasn't a big hoopla which was very ni... read more
