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…

Wonderful experience – I will admit I had my doubts after reading mixed reviews, and after were an hour late for my husband's birthday dinner Butter was more than accomodating. We were stuck in traffic and when I called the reservationist she said it would be no problem, and sure enough we were sat right away. I was taken back buy the space, our server courtney was so accomodating, and the food was wonderful. I mentioned it was my husband's birthday, and we were sent a complimentary dessert with candles and the whole 9 yards... read more
Overrated and Over Priced!!!!!!!!!! – Overall, my impression of Butter was that the best part of the meal was actually the bread and butter. So the name gets and an A+. However, the overall food, decor and experience is just average. A local bar serves better drinks and the service is much friendlier! Not to mention they dont require a 20% tip! The apps and entrees were nothing spectacular and the dessert could have been delivered from Dunkin Donuts. Hopefully Butter does a better job impressing other patrons, cause Ill sure... read more
I really wanted this place to be good. Alas, it was not. I went with 3 other people and tried everyone's food so I got a sense of what it was all about. Everything tasted like I had burnt my tongue and couldn't taste anything. Fish was overcooked. Meat was blah. Water was delicious but scarce. What's going on? Why was the restaurant full? I think the crowd wanted to be there because they heard the Olsen Twins ate there once. The waiter was friendly but an idiot. This was like being in some terrible movie about snotty people ... read more
Atmosphere is all you're paying for – If you want to impress someone from out of town with a trendy restaurant than this is the place - but only by appearances and not by food quality or service. High marks for atmosphere but a ZERO for service. I went for restaurant week June 2005. We were promptly seated but waited 25 minutes to get the waiter to come back around and take our order. Drinks were ordered and those came 20 minutes later. Food was salty and mediocre. I waited 15 minutes for the waiter to take the bill from me ... read more
Butter: NOT WORTH THE FUSS – I am not one to complain, but I was so frustrated by my experience here that I thought I had to warn others. The dining room was beautiful but that was about the only good thing. The worst part was the horrible service and snobby attitudes. I went here for a business lunch. Our waiter was not attentive, we waited about 20 mins just to order drinks. We decided to do a 3 course meal. The first course was fine, second course was cold and we waited over 30 mins for desserts that never came. I tried t... read more
Butter Is Not Better – I wish I had listened to the reviewers, they were right. Butter has a nice scene, but in my eyes, food and service should always trump scene. We went during June 05 Restaurant Week. Waiter couldn't have cared less what we ordered. Entrees - Mahi-Mahi was flavorless. Short ribs had a crock-pot like quality. Appetizers - mushroom soup was good but all cream, if you like that sort of thing. Carpaccio was just ok. My main "beef" with this place was the aloof, too-cool-to-serve-us waiter and the 20% automat... read more
hahaha – um no. just because you think you're cool doesn't actually make you cool.
Pathetic – Seriously, don't waist you time or money.... After all the hype, we had to eat at Butter, but it plain out stunk. It was bright and cold in the dining room and the service was terrible. They sat us in the middle of the room under a gust of air from the vent. When we asked to move to an open booth, they told us that it was reserved for a bigger party. Needless to say we were pissed when a party was sat with the same number of people as us. The food.... ok. However, the portions are small and overpriced. I had the f... read more
A Surprise Ending – Went to Butter this week for the first time. The space is really interesting and the food was wonderful. We got the bill and saw we were charged a 20% service fee. We thought that was a little bizarre because that's usually added for groups of 6 or more people and there were just 2 of us. We asked the waiter if this was correct and he said yes. I don't recall that being mentioned on the menu and it's the first time we ever had that for a party of two people, and we eat out a lot. I don't recall it being m... read more
