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…

Insist on "the Room" – The food was ok. It's all downhill from there. If you choose to go, insist that your table is up the stairs in "the room" otherwise you will be forgotten. If you are given a table in the entryway, do not politely ask to be moved, be rude. The table to my left and right were accomodated after bitching, I was not. The service was terrible, waiter did not poor the wine correctly, my water glass was never refilled even after asking. There was a half-hearted attempt to accomomdate my requests but it seemed ... read more

Pleasant Experience – I've been to Butter one 2 seperate occasions and both times I was pleasantly surprised by the food and atmosphere. The staff was attentive. I was seated right away both times I've been. The food was superb. I particularly recommend the Black Bass w/ Fois gras and smoked ham.

Obnoxious Experience – I was very disappointed when I went to Butter this past weekend for dinner. The service was extremely snotty and there was tremendious attitude. We were not even given a wine list when we were seated. We had to ask for bread and BUTTER five times...we were finally given bread well after our entres had arrived. For the prices that they charge the service should be amicable. Although the food was tasty, it was not worth the aggrevation of this very unpleasurable dining experience.

lives up to the rep – After a string of trendy new restaurant/lounges raised my hopes only to quickly deflate them (i.e., Smith, Suba, Chateau and Industry) Butter is finally the real deal we have all been waiting for. A great scene, fantastic food and friendly service. The street-level non-smoking room offers a breath of fresh air (smoking is allowed downstairs), and the room is gorgeous, with raised ceilings and a huge white stainedglass window providing an ethereal soft-sunlight ambience (even at midnight). Noone will get... read more

Like Butta – I really liked this restaurant. The entrance is a bit hidden from the street, though I was informed that it is not yet complete. I love the decor of this restaurant as well. Unfortunately, the high ceilings and bare walls make for a very noisy dining experience. A big plus is no smoking in the dining room. I really enjoyed the service and food was excellent. Our server was extremely friendly and very knowledgeable. I expected a bit more pretentious staff from a restaurant that only hires gorgeous people. I thoug... read more
