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…

Not Impressed – Personaly I found the decor quite cheesy, the "wood paneling" surrounding the dining room is plastic wall paper wrinkling at the seams. Anyway this is not terribly important as I went for the food but it was hit and miss. The "Kobe" (fake) Beef Empanadas were not bad, the crust was soft and the interior nicely spiced and creamy. The entree of Pan Seared Cod though was very bland, considering the cut of fish was only average they could have made it more interesting. The highlight of the meal was the Chocolate ... read more
Awsome! – Me and my wife went to Butter while we were in NYC to celebrate our one year anniversary. It took us about 30 minutes after our reservation to be seated, but we sat at the bar and had a very stiff drink with the bartender. We then were seateed and started out with a very nice Romaine Salad with an assorted bread basket which you get with all meals. We then both had the Grilled Prime New York Strip Steak, which was a very nice piece of meat well cooked with Fingerling Fries, Caramelized Onions and a Béarnaise Sauce.... read more
very disappointed – This is the worst meal I have had in NY since moving here a year ago...and I eat out ALOT. The decor is pretty and the atmosphere is nice in the dining room, but I have no idea what the hype is about downstairs (except for the sweet DJ set up). The meal was really awful. I got the halibut, which was undercooked, chewy, and smelled fishy. My boyfriend had the beef filet, which was decent, but boring. The service was atrocious (not rude, just non-existant and the restaurant wasnt even crowded). We were goin... read more
One of my favorites in NYC... – I always enjoy Butter..whether it's meeting for dinner, a late night drink, or just to chill on a Monday night..Butter NEVER dissapoints...Not too mention, the space is phenomenal..a must see!
Start the night or stay the night – Ate there this Sat and had a decent experience. We had a 9:30 rez and were seated by 10:00 after a drink at the downstairs bar. The menu offered a nice selection of meats and the wine list was good but a bit overpriced for the offerings. We just picked from the app menu and my favorite was the scallops with tangerine. This place is filled with the beautiful and stylish and the downstairs room turns into a small dance club at around 12. Would recommend eating upstairs as it got a bit loud d... read more
Great time – I went to Butter with my family for my birthday dinner this weekend and everyone enjoyed the space, food, and service. I was worried due to all of the reviews I read but was happy when I found them to be off the mark. Butter is a fun place to go if you want a trendy scene and good food.
Not too bad! – I just went to Butter for Restaurant Week...it wasn't so bad. The food was a bit over salted and the decor is very trendy and great for people watching. Our waiter was pretty attentive (we were missing a fork and he brought it over right away.) I also noticed the table next to ours didn't enjoy her dish and they went above and beyond to try to make up for it. Not a bad experience considering the service standards these days!
Nice decor that's it – Gorgeous unique decor. But I really have to suspect the positive reviews here were written by owners/employees/friends of Butter, because I had dinner there last week with some serious foodies and none of us were impressed. My goats cheese tart was just that, goat cheese in a tart, nothing special. My vegetable risotto was burnt, and infused totally in a burnt flavor. Horrible. Here's the thing, you're in the best city in the world for restaurants. Go spend your money somewhere that really wows you. Ju... read more
Food was much better then expected – After reading all the negative reviews I was a bit hesitant about coming here, but I think the food is much better then the other folks gave them credit for. We had the scallop apetzier which was excellent. The scallops were plump and fresh. I had the duck which was served over mashed yams that were out of this world. We also shared the desert sampler and really enjoyed what I would describe as a warm jelly doughnut. I also had the key lime pie martini which was delicious. I would definit... read more
