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…

Great Experience – Went to Butter the other night after it was recommended by two friends and had a great time. We had reservations and were seated promptly--which is unusual in NYC. The staff was very nice and liked how we got the complimentary wine samle along with an h'orduerve. Great atmosphere as well--downstairs is a little loud, so do not recommed eating down there. I will defintely go back!
Obanxious service – The service was really crappy - so we left a small tip.. little did I know, a few weeks later after receiving my credit card bill I noticed the waiter has written in an extra digit to the tip.. This is an outright fraud on top of the fact that the service has been very bad and the food mediocre for the money..
Fine dining – Despite many unassuring reviews, I had a fabulous time at Butter. The food was excellent, the waitstaff was attentive and the service was quick. However, the appetizers were more tempting than the entrees. Definitely try the gnocchi with truffle sauce and the portabello salad. The wine list was extensive. The diners were mixed, but the bar goers were definitely dressed to impress. After dinner, it was only a short walk downstairs to the swanky, more dimly lit lounge. Altogether a very fine dining experience.
Buttery smooth – The room is eyecatching - cylindrical, long, and paneled in cedar with a view of a forest at the far end. soft lighting and comfortable seating. The food although a little pricey is outstanding across the board - salads, the lamb, the bananas foster dessert - all superb.
Slide right into Butter – The space was quite beautiful. Feeling of being in a forest. Friendly service and good food. Great for impressing and looking fabulous.
Oozing Mediocrity – I will never understand why a staff finds it necessary to portray a haughty attitude when the substance of the venue (food, service, wine list, hostesses) are mediocre, unprofessional and bland. Our hostess was more concerned about the appearance of the banquets than wether we had the right menus. The wait staff has little knowlege of what is coming out of the kitchen except you need to eat quickly to make room for the club crowd expected later. It is too expensive for all this. They should be trying to e... read more
A great place if you're not hungry – While the decor and atmosphere was really cool, and good for people watching, one would expect better food for this price level. Not that it was *bad* per-se, but rather unimpressive. The scallops appetizer was interesting and tasty, but they serve *two* scallops! I had the duck, which was slightly bland and uneventful; my fiancée had the sautéed skate, which was a better choice. Despite the negative reviews on this site, the service from the Maitre d', bartender, and our waitress was not... read more
Over Butter!! – Have been twice and both times decent food, cool physical space has been massively overshadowed by a lame crowd and some even lamer service. Perfect spot if you are looking to log some time w/ a crowd of pretentious wannabe Hampton socialites coupled w/ a healthy dose of Bridge and Tunnel tradgedies.
MMM, Good – After reading the reviews for Butter, I had some reservation about trying it myself, but man was I surprised. It was awesome. Sure it reeks of Hamptons aristocracy, but that is why it is a 'beautiful people' place. I love the the vaulted ceiling upstairs and the cozy lounge downstairs. The staff was nice and I had a great waitress. The service was timely and the food well above par. Plus the eye candy was amazing. A group of 5 hotties frollicked to my left and a stunner sat at the bar with midrift showing. I was ... read more
