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…

Value A Concern – As my divine date traversed the cavernous archway to greet me, her beauty was accentuated by the glorious wood finishes and perfectly lit hallway to the main dinig area. We were promptly seated. Our Aussie waiter was attentive and knowledgeable. Appetizers arrived promptly and met standards. The entree's were another matter. For the price and expectation, they were just ok. My date had the yellowfin, I had the Szechaun filet. The yellowfin was fine, just not spectacular. The filet was requested at medium an... read more
Good Food, Good Service – Made a reservation here last minute on a Wednesday night with no problem. Seated right away, friendly host and waiter and chicken entree and my friend's bass were both perfectly cooked and the sauces were delightful. Downside to this place is that the tables in the middle of the restaurant (where we were seated) were too close together and it can feel a bit invasive at times. Also, the restaurant is quite small so the noise level can get a bit loud. Would definitely go back for the food.
Buttah – Very nice. Very swank. My kind of place. Waitresses were awesome. Bartenders were hot. Nice decor. Good drinks.
BUTTER IS TERRIBLE!!!!! – We waited an hour for a table even though we had a reservation; the maitre'd was snotty; the waiter was incompetent. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY OR TIME!
Butter Lover – I went to Butter on a Saturday night, party of eight, many out of towners, and we all had a wonderful time. Two levels of the restaurant appeal to two different moods. Upstairs is more for the serious diner with a calm ambience and downstairs is more of a scene, dimly lit, and more upbeat. If you have friends that you want to impress take them here. I highly recommend the snapper, sea scallops, and the peppered filet mignon. Make sure to show up on time for the reservation because they have many people to plea... read more
Butter Was Sour – The host was annoyingly condescending. I have a stressful job. The last thing I need is a host to give me attitude. Our waiter was completely MIA most of the night. After ordering a bottle of Dom Perignon I got up to use the facilities. Upon my return my glass of champagne and my napkin were missing. I kindly asked him to replace them. 10 minutes later he wasstill MIA. My belief is that if a bottle of champagne is going to cost me $500 after service charges, I believe it should poured for me and I should ac... read more
Great food despite all the hipsters who look more like extras from TRL Live bouncing around the joint. -- Seriously, I was very impressed with the food all five times I've been there and I've been everywhere in the city. Clearly the chef has talent, but the front of the house is run like a wanna-be version of Bungalow 8. Or a low rent Bungalow 8 I should say. The result is that you might have to wait outside or in the lobby just to convince the door person that you in fact are there to give them your money for dinner.
Classy – I have visited Butter several times and with each time it gets better and better. The food, despite the editoral listed, is as exquisite as the atmosphere. I feel comfortable and welcomed at this new hot spot. I only wish more people didn't know it existed!
Sexy But very Smoky Dinner – Have been to Butter a few times and my opinion changes every time I visit. The best experience I have had was when I went with a large group of girlfriends and sat upstairs. I like the upper level better since it is smoke free and just nicer altogether. Good food though a limited menu. The skate is a wonderful dish and would reccomend to amy diners who have yet to visit. Downstairs is cool too since you can smoke at your table (which I do) However it gets very very smoky which isn't really pleasu... read more
