Lousy – It is inexplicable how this place is still in business, bad food, bad service, high prices. NY is filled with beautifull restaurants. Dont waist your time here.

Great Food – I went to this restaurant with a friend for his birthday. The food was great .. I personally loved the Duck.. The food was pricey.. save this place for a special evening you can spend $400 on a meal easily. The service was good.. the only thing I did not like is that the waiter kept asking people if they wanted Tap water or Sparkling water loudly, I personally don't think that someone should be asked this question constantly.

Great social Spot Up beat , Great place to take a date,or just hang with you crew.The service is out standing. The prices are reasonable. I would total recommend this spot. I will definitely be in the house again.

Treated Like Dirt – Usually I don't knock a restaurant for service if the food is good- any server can have an off-night. And the food here is good, even if not quite worth the inflated prices. For $21, the foie gras should not be so mushy as to be indistinguishable from the bread and fruit compote served with it. But the food and service are not the problems here; it is the management. The downstairs at Butter becomes a "club" at night, which is fine. But the downstairs is also where most of the restrooms are, and after spe... read more

Food Melt in your mouth like butter? More like dry in your mouth like chalk – A bunch of my friends and I went to butter last night and we were very dissapointed. The staff was rude, especially the bartenders. The food is sub-par - it really was not impressive at all. My chicken dish was super salty and dry and the fish was dry as well. The waitress was not very nice either and did not serve us well. For all the hype this place IS not great. The decorations are plain, and the restaurant itself is quite small. Dont expect to ... read more

Hidden charges – Martini "up" charge? I have no problems paying $12 or $14 for a martini but to get a separate $2 charge for serving it "up" (how else would a martini be served?) was annoying enough for us never to go back...

Shobs – My wife and I had dinner a few weeks back here and I can tell you its not worth the hype. Staff tried there best and the food was okay for the price but watching the owner and managers go around and breath down there customers necks was painful. I saw a customer complain and the manager told him if he had a problem with the dish that maybe he should leave. They then started to rush us out of the restrauant as they had VIPs coming so we were no longer required for there business which is very sad. HOSPITALITY look at ... read more

Go there if you have time to waste time and money – My wife and I had dinner at Butter for her birthday. It was a weekday (wednesday, november 28th) and the place was packed. However we were seated promptly. It was extremely noisy and we had a hard time chatting without raising our voices too much. We ordered the salmon tartare and the foie gras as appetizers. We were served the appetizers 20mn after we placed our order. Salmon tartare consisted of 3 extra thin slices of salmon (cost over $20) and the foie gras was made of F... read more

Not Bad – Very Pretty, Steak is to die for and the drinks are nice. A bit expensive, skip the Kobe and go for the Filet, a much better and cheaper choice. The Maitre' D welcomed me twice as I returned from the bathroom and asked if he could re seat me???? Odd? And our waiter was a bit rush rush at the start of the meal and a tad snooty. But life ain't perfect.
