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…

DON'T GO HERE FOR AN ANNIVERSARY !!! – Me and my girlfriend had heard so much about this relatively new and hot spot in NYC. We figured it would be a great place to celabrate our 2 years of happiness together. From the moment we arrived the service from the front was below average. We had to ask to have our jackets taken. We then went to the bar for a drink while our table was being set. It took the bartender a good 5-10 minutes to notice us. FYI-It wasn't even that busy either !! We finially get sat and the hostess who sat ... read more
Disappointing!!!! – I had heard soooooo much about this place so we decided to go for dinner last friday. As we were running late (stuck in traffic) called the resturant to inform them and they made us wait for an hour! 1 hour for being 10 minutes late!! When we finally got the food, it was bad. There was sand in the clam chowder, had to return it. The spinach was soooooo salty, had to return that too. Overall a bad expereince, not going back for sure. There are plenty of great places to go to in this city.
User review by nazee14 – We heard many great things about this place and decided to give it a try. We had reservations and got seated right away in the down stairs room. The room is nicely decorated however, it is simply just too dark in there for dinner. Our waiter was extremely rude, and not attentive at all. The food was aweful, I ordered duck and because it was so dark in there, I put a piece of fat in my mouth. Not sure why there is a big chunk of fat in there in the first place. The waiter rushed us through the last ha... read more
My experience dining at Butter was a very pleasant one. My husband & I were wise enough to call and make a reservation beforehand. Anyone who lives in this city should know this. The service was beyond excellent, and the food was amazing. The lower level was a little tight for me...but that's not my scene anyways. Overall, I enjoyed my experience at Butter. One thing I have learned from my dining experiences....if you want great service, try smiling to you're waitor. You're guaranteed a "fine, dining experience"
Frequent Customer of Butter since it opened! – I just read the previous review and completely disagree. The downstairs is unlike anything else I have experienced in this city. It does feel like a lounge, but that's what I want on a Friday or Saturday night with my friends. I have dined at butter since it opened in 2001 and the food, ambience, and service have been nothing but stellar. Good times at Butter!
User review by lindseynagel – I think my expectations were a little too high when I walked into Butter. We had a fairly large party and I felt as if we were being rushed by our waiter. We also had reservations, but had to wait around at the bar for about 15 minutes before being seated. The food was pretty good, but I would have preferred to sit upstairs. I think the downstairs area is better if you're just going for drinks... I felt like I was in a dungeon.
Butter is Better! – There were 10 of us last Saturday for my bachlorette party and the Butter Staff went above and beyond to make sure we had a great evening. Service was excellent, the halibut was to die for, and the DJ downstairs had a great vibe. At the end of the night we had drinks in the lounge and the maitre'd called us in to another club (Hiro). Had a blast at Hiro and no wait! The line was all the way down the street. No restaurant compares to Butter, they have connections and really made our night!
Stay away!!! – We waited over 45 minutes for two people during an off time -- when we were seated we saw tons of open tables and they still made us wait! The food, which took forever!! was nothing to brag about. The waiters were clueless and SLOW!!!! We should have walked out, but we were hungry. Would not recommend and would NEVER go back.
Better than expected – I took my family to Butter early on a Monday night and the hostess sat us in nice booth in the upstairs great room. They were suprisingly very accomodating with my two girls under the age of 8. The server was very attentive and the halibut was cooked more than I wanted so they brought out a new one and took it off the bill completely. Great place, I will be back.
