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…

Horrible Customer Service – Well, I must say that although this place came highly recommended, the customer service was beyond horrible. We went there to celebrate my friend's person. We had about 40 people present, yet management could not accommodate us. No music, limited bartending service, and a bad attitude all in one place on a Friday night. The lower level was closed and there was no ventilation. Lastly, we were unkindly told that it was time for us to leave at 1am on a Friday night...after they made money off of us. ... read more
Terrible... – As would be expected from the owners' maxi-club backgrounds, this feels less like an upscale restaurant than just another dim-lit, over-priced, over-hyped club with a scary "door guy" and service staff complete with the look (and attitude) of super-models. I would reccomend spending your evening somewhere else, unless you are a fan of "the scene." Something tells me the scene is elsewhere.
Good, but... – It could be better. The atmosphere is nice and the drinks are good. The food is just ok, not really memorable and not what you expect for the price but I guess the atmosphere is what you pay for. Our waitress had a weird attitdue toward us, it was not really bad per se but somewhat uncomfortable.
Breathtaking Dining Area – Ask to be seated on the main dining floor. IT's the perfect atmosphere for dinner. Large round booths make it spacious for dining for 2-4. The food is pretty good, roast beef is a standout. Otherwise, everything else is just average. I would go there for top notch service and a great dining atmosphere. Otherwise, if you're looking for a ultra, ultra fine culinary experience, this is not the place. Check out the website for pic.
Butter Melted... – Butter has clearly opted for the quick buck attracting the most trendy, shallow clientele with their VELVET ROPES and surly staff. The space is fabulous but WELL-WORN, with peeling wallpaper, scuffed wood floors, torn banquettes, etc. My last visit, I was thoroughly "checked" by the bouncer before being admitted to the EMPTY dining room for my reservation. Once seated, the service was terrible, the food was average but not inspiring. The waiter kept pouring wine into glasses filled with water. Flatware was... read more
the food is inspired – Looking around the room, it was obvious that diners were initially there for the scene - but what becomes rapidly aparent is that the people in the kitchen are using the plates as canvass. The determined and unwaivering use of seasonal ingredients and the steadfast committment to high quality is what diners at butter come away with. Whether you are healing your soul with spare ribs cooked with love - or tasting the devine halibut, sturgeon or scallops... you can't go wrong. My reccomendation - don't mi... read more
What a Find! – The new chef at Butter has outdone herself. We went for NYC Restaurant Week and were so impressed with our lunch. The food was fabulous and service was wonderful. What a great deal for $20.12. And now that Restaurant Week is still over....the prix fixe continues for an amazing $25. Go! You'll love!
Good food but LOUD!! – I love the popcorn they serve at the bar, and I really enjoyed the food but boy, if I try to speak to anyone even a person next to me is not possible here. So Loud!!
B-utter disappointment – Butter is atrocious. I spent the entire 2.5 it took to get any kind of service being horribly embarassed that I brought my date there. The crowd was totally B&T, the waiter was completely unprofessional and inattentive, food mediocre. I had to ask twice for a wine list, the waiter gave SO much attitude for no reason, a terrible wine selection- nothing from South America or Australia and four pages of "new world" (read "california"). They were trying to pass themselves off as hip by giving the smalles... read more
