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…

avoid the celebs, go for the food – Most people know butter as a trendy nightclub, but if you avoid monday nights you can experience it for what it really is...a great restaurant. Yeah, it's a little pricey, but i've been there a number of times and had a great dinner and good service. Any fish that the chef cooks is bound to be good, our halibut was amazing. the sides are fun and satisfying (mac and cheese with truffles, crispy artichokes) and they have a nice wine list. And whatever you do, don't skip dessert. Last time my... read more
Worst bar ever – We showed up here late one night. The usual throng of wannabes was crowded around the entrance, but despite the fact we were almost too drunk to function, we waltzed right in. Once inside, the decor is nice, but the bar/lounge itself was horrible. We were bored senseless, and after one drink we took off.
My Worst Dining Experience – If I didn't know better I would think we must have smelled like an old fish and looked like hobos b/c this is my worst dining experience yet. We left so aggravated after the Hostess who was dressed like a real tart was rude and condescending. The Server took the order and disappeared for the entire rest of the night until we had to stop him b/c the bus boy knocked over our entire bottle of red wine soaking the white table cloth, the seats and our business suits. We sat soaked in red wine for 20 m... read more
OK but nothing special – I brought a group of 14 there for dinner. SERVICE: Staff was polite & pleasant, but service was sporadic and slow. They forgot to ask some of us about drinks, and only served 1/2 of the group. However, they were quick to correct, when we pointed it out. FOOD: Helping was small, hypical of this type of restaurant. Quality was average. Seems to be a place for the "Sex in the City" wannabes. Noisy.
Mediocrity – I experienced mediocre, unimaginative food (to put it kindly) and a waiter that annoyed us, provided sub-par service and was tipped accordingly. He then accosted us at the door about the tip we left consistent with his service! While the decor is alluring (if you don't mind sitting inside a hall shaped like a canned ham), the restaurant is quite loud. I sat in the center of the restaurant and could hear the people sitting next to me better than I could hear my date. To me, the music was incongruent with the atmo... read more
Outstanding – our experience at Butter was outstanding. The ambiance was fabulous, the waitstaff impecable and the food was teriffic. You must try the Butter Tini... amazing. This is a trendy place, and a great restaurant to spot some celebs. Make sure to make reservations otherwise foreget it. Overall I give this restaurant two thumbs up :)
DO NOT EAT HERE – After waiting over 30 minutes for our reservation (when they said it would be 10) I found bread plates with leftover butter still on it and lipstick on my glass. We were totally ignored by the waitstaff and finally left. The restaurant looks cool, but the way we were treated was appalling. Take your business elsewhere.
Give me some more of that butta! – I have been here 3 times, and every time has been amazing. The food is superb, the desserts are out of this world (the chocolate cake was to die for). I suggested this place for a bridal shower, and now all the girls know me as the one with great taste and come to me for restaurant suggestions. The service is great, they give you time to enjoy your food, and there is no rush. They leave you alone, but are immediately available when you need anything. The decor is also beautiful.
Incredible – A girfriend and I went to Butter despite mixed reviews for restaurant week. The food tasty - atmosphere incredible.
