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…

I would definetely go back! – It's clear the food is prepared with quality ingredients at Butter. Last week was my first visit, and I'd love to go back. The prices were reasonable, the service was knowlegeable and friendly, the atmosphere is hip, we walked in and didn't have to wait that long for a table, and the food was great. Have the beef carpaccio--excellent! The calamari was delicious, too. My dining companions had steak and the veal and enjoyed both thoroughly. My cavatappi pasta was well prepared--thank god no mushy ... read more
Finally a place that lives up to the hype – Expensive drinks? check. but they are balanced by the very friendly priced menu. Good looking people? check. including most of the staff. Great food? check. not everything...but most things..wow Solid service? check. well at least plentiful and attitude-free Butternut squash soup was spot-on yummy. genius. It's worth going here just to see the amazing space and try this soup. Halibut was also outrageous. Veal the portion size..OMG! The hyped kobe empandas were "good" and the pasta ... read more
Butter is hot – This is one of my favorite restaurants. First of all, there is lots of eye candy: the staff & clientele. The drinks are delicious. The menu changes each season. The food is contemporary American & always inventive, sophisticated & fun. Save room for the raspberry beignets at the end. They also have a hot club on the weekends.
Fantastic! – Butter has really come along way. I would say it's restaurant and food is at par with its club and lounge, which was not the case when we went there 3 years ago. My husband and I went here for our anniversary and everything was perfect. From the moment we walked in the door the staff were fantastic, really friendly and accomodating. I couldn't choose between sitting upstair or downstairs so they told us to have a look around and let them know when we had decided. We choose to sit in the main level dining room. O... read more
Fun Stuff! – Having only 2 nights left during our trip to NYC from London and after a tremendous disappointment at the Rainbow Grill the night before a friend suggested we check out the Butter... What a nice surprise. The food was great and service very attentive. The lobster salad for starter was the best I have ever tasted! The warm chocolate cake for dessert - simply heavenly. The dessert wine suggested by the waiter - absolutely spot on, and because we are from London we don't usually tip but I made sure to give him a co... read more
I swear, this place is addictive... – Every time we go to Butter, whether it's for their incomparable lunch or the genuinely fun and elegant dinner service, we have an outstanding time. To me this is the epitome of a New York restaurant: artistic food ingredients and presentation; a young, very attractive, and knowledgable staff; great downtown location; intelligent and well-maintained design of the space; stylish fellow diners; and an all-around good vibe every time I walk in the joint...a must-go...I know I can't get enoug... read more
Great Restaurant – Went to Butter for restaurant week and it was amazing from the beginning when we walked through the door. The atmosphere is great. There is a club downstairs so if you are there late, then you can hang out at the bar upstairs and hear the music from downstairs. Food and service were both fabulous. I highly reccommend this restaurant to anyone and everyone.
Delicious-Great Service,Ambience – My experience was awesome! 1st of all, the ambience is pretty damn cool with the trees. I have absolutely no complaints about the service. And I went during restaurant week--while other places this week have treated me like an unwelcome step child and treated me funny for ordering from the rest week menu, butter did not. The Food: AMAZING!! App:arugula salad with warm goat chees, butter croutons, glazed pears. Entree:Gnocci w/pesto, shaved parmesean, portobello mushrooms Dessert:Warm chocol... read more
Worst dining experience in NYC – Don't waste your time. This place is genuinely terrible. I read the CitySearch reviews and thought, "there is no way it can be THAT bad." But, it was!! I am disguisted at the level of service, the quality of food, the management and the wait time. I just cannot wait until this place goes out of business.
