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…

Better Than Ever! – The review above should be updated...Butter recently acquired a new Executive Chef, Alexandra Guarnaschelli (formerly of Daniel) who has completely revamped their New American menu. I've been a fan of Butter since the beginning and can honestly say that my nights there are always a sure thing for a great time.
Just good, not excellent... – Somehow they had a mix-up with our dinner reservation, however got seated. The warm shrimp salad was excellent! Blackened mahi mahi sucked (too many various spices mixed together that did not go with the fish at all! yuck!). The NY steak was great. Very nice design and ambiance was very romantic. On the weekends it gets really crowded and loud.
Trendy/Tasty – I was taken here as a gift, and I had never heard of this restaurant before. I sat in the downstairs area, and it seemed like a preety happening place by the bar on the upper level. Our table was preety small, but the food made up for the slight discomfort. The steak I had was out-of-this-world, definetly one of the best I've ever had, and the crepes I had for dessert were equally satisfying. Lots of eye-candy, and gorgeous waitresses. The room was preety dark, but an enitre wall was transparant, and it glowed... read more
FABULOUS!! – Went to Butter for the first time last Saturday. The decor was beautiful, as were the waiters and bar tenders. Service was superb, a plus ten!! I will be back for more for sure!!
soooooo good – We went to Butter on a Saturday night, it was surprisingly empty. The hostesses were sooo friendly. Sit downstairs for the scene and the atmosphere. Very romantic and a great place to bring a date. It turns into a club/lounge at 10. We had the romaine salad which was awesome and the portion was big. They also brought us some samples from the kitchen of their special--polenta. I got the salmon, cooked perfectly and so tasty. My friend got the chicken which was also very good. Yes, it's a little pricey but worth... read more
Monday's are cool – Went to Butter on Monday night for a friend's birthday dinner at like 11:00pm, the kitchen was supposedly closed, but we spoke to the manager and we were seated promptly. They had a Monday night party going on, with a nice mix of music, the waiter was awesome, the minute the wine glasses were low he would bring another!!. The crowd was really good looking and the decor is excellent. It was a bit expensive for 2 people, but we did have lots of drinks ( Drinks are very pricey) I would definitely recommend i... read more
Not Like Buttah – I was quite unimpressed with Butter. The menu is boring and very unimaginitive, but we managed to find some things to order. What we did order was just average (my halibut was ok, though a bit dry and my friend's pork chop was ok, though a bit tough). Given the attitude and the prices, I expected more. One utter disappointment was the raspberry beignets. Someone please tell the pastry chef that Dunkin' Donuts jelly donuts can't be passed off as beignets. The service, however, was superb! The decor is very w... read more
A fatman's nightmare..... – So much (expensive) for so little. The table ordered the tasting menu which was a 5 course meal. I swear we came out of the restaurant wondering if we could quickly stop by Cozy's for a burger before the show. My friend's boyfriend was not happy. Decor was really nice. Food not bad, really good sweetbread, better than the one at Babbo's.
Birthday Surprise – My friends took me for my birthday dinner and I was simply in awe by the ambience and design of a place behind a dull outer facade...The food and service was excellent...Definately worth checking out on a weekday to avoid weekend chaos.
