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…

"SWEET" as Butter – "BUTTER" was just great, despite all the negative reviews. I went there on Aug 9, 2002, from the start I was impressed. First, by the prompt seating ( even though we had no reservations), the very pleasant staff and not to mention the very cozy decor. Our waiter was helpful and friendly. Food and wine from appetizer to dessert was great too! For such a "styish " restaurant the portions were "right on the money". I loved everything and would recommend to everyone.
Beware! Melting Butter... – I have basically tried all the places in the east village, and Butter is mediocre in comparison. The food is fairly good, but everything is spoiled by the OVERALL experience. I recommend Industry (food) instead.
I cant believe its NOT butter – screwed up our reservation had to sit 3 ladies at a table for two when we reserved a table for 4. The owner lied to me when i asked where our food was 1 hour after we placed the order - he said oh your friend said you were not ready for it. Basically it was so bad that we got them back and we dined and DASHED - thanks for the free meal BUTTA. I will say the food was good but hey when its free it always tastes better right?! he hehehe
Hey, Butter, you are not BOULEY! – I should have listened to all of the poor reviews on this website...but I had faith. For a new restaurant in a bad economy they sure have a boatload of unecessary attitude. The maitre 'd is particularly full of himself. I have been to almost every top restaurant in the city and I have never been treated with such snotty service. Go spend your money somewhere else.
Give Me Olive Oil – The service is absolutely terrible. I waited 45 minutes just to get a bottle of a wine placed at the table. The wait staff is incredibly inattentive and rude. We were immediately seated (the restaurant was no where close to being packed, surprise, surprise) There are very few selections on the menu and the food is not that great and the dining experience at Butter is completely overrated. You're better off walking down half a block and going to Serafina or across the street to the Time Cafe. I give this r... read more
"Butter Choose Another Restaurant" – I was looking forward to this dinner - the reviews were great, the venue looked amazing. But, alas, the service was TERRIBLE. The management the most ungracious in all of New York (and that takes some beating). We were hassled from the beginning. The booking was made for 8. We were asked to sit down at 7.55. We were then asked again at 8.05, and again at 8.10. Our last party member arrived at 8.11 and we were told to sit or else we would loose our table - there were 3 other people in the ... read more
Is it Butter or Margarine? – It looks like Butter's architect designed a space that ultimately the owner's could not afford. The entrance is a bit unwelcoming, after you pass throught the glass doors you enter a cedar rich hallway and the woods at the entrance and downstairs are rich, but to my horror the main dining room is wallpapered in faux wood veneer making it look like a bad episode of trading spaces. The flowers also fake seemed to match only the bad wood wallpaper. Reservations were for 9:00pm,. we were sat at 10:30... read more
Better at Butter – Went there with some friends on Sat. night. Our waitress was so friendly and helpful it set the stage for a great evening. Great atmosphere and vibe. Food was delicious - definitely try the tuna.
i was bitta at butta – we had an 8.30 ressie for my friend's bday party in the lively room downstairs. we were bumped so jay-z could have the table intended for us and were not seated until 10.30 (2-hour wait!) in the quiet room upstairs. the stuck-up host had the audacity to tell us the wait was due to him trying to give us the best table they have (puh-leese!) we didn't get bread til nearly an hour after we were seated and that was after we asked for it. we did not finish dining until 1.30. if not for the fabulous hot sauc... read more
