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…

Pretty good food - Cool decor - Excellent Service – Butter is a high end place with a somewhat unique decor. You notice the arched ceilings as you walk to your seat - but then all the trees decorating the place gives it a natural feel. The staff was very friendly - with one of the hosts stopping by to give us his picks from the menu. The food was good - I had venison - cooked just like I ordered it - medium-rare. It was tender and a good cut of meat (I would have preferred more spice, though). We also had the foie gras - I a... read more
Stay Away – This "restaurant" is run SO poorly I can not fathom how it is still open. I tried to give it another shot as my first visit was deplorable, And now I marvel at who they pay off to stay open. The GM? pressured us into a bottle of wine and when poured the description was completely wrong- AND was 30 dollars more then the wine we had wanted. His response was the server was an "idiot" and did not allow it to breath. Then to make it up to us he told us to go downstairs to the "private party". How sweet, until the door... read more
What a great spot! – Butter is the kind of spot that everyone should go at least once. If you go once you will be hooked. They have great food and a hip atmosphere! It's great for any occasion.
Butter left a BAD taste in my mouth. Avoid – The food was sub-par and during the entree a waiter spilled a full glass of wine on me and also the guy sitting at the table next to me (the waiter spilled the glass pretty hard). The manager and waitress quickly came over and apologized and the said ?Don?t worry we are going to take care of this.? Thinking that I would get a free desert or more I said that it was ok and that didn?t really worry about it because it was a simple mistake. At the end of the meal I got my bill and was... read more
Welcoming Staff....a refresher in nyc! – I have never been greeted or served by a more accomodating staff, ever! Quality food and drinks are standard among nyc restaurants BUT I find most servers to be just "blah".... uninterested, no motivation and concerned about how much money I spend, not my dining experience. Butter consistently excels at hospitality, way above my expectations!....and I have dined there since they opened in 2001.
Well run family oriented and owned restaurant! – There is a man that owns Butter named Simone Akiva who will do everything and anything to make his guests happy. Butter is a very warm, the food is spectacular and Simone is the Best! Me and the girls will surely be back Simone....
Butter is delicious – I love the duck egg pasta that I had the other night. I can taste that the Union Square ingredients in the dishes. I was amazed that they have a really great wine list with some good stuff. I was seated on time and treated with respect. The air conditioning could have been stronger. It was a tad warm (I wonder if they were trying to get me to buy more drinks...) The music needs a little help too...All in all a great experience in an area where there aren't many good restaurants.
Butter more like Margarine – Went to Butter on Monday evening and was gravely disappointed. Had an 8pm reservation and was not seated till 9pm. Hostess was very rude and did not even offer us a drink for our troubles. The menu featured typical american fare and was not worth the price of admission. One thing worth noting that it was definetely a place to be seen and people watch!
Don't believe the hype – After hearing all the buzz and reading the great reviews, my friend and I couldn't wait to try this celebrity haunt. We got there 15 minutes early for our noon reservation. The restrooms hadn't been cleaned from the night before and paper was scarce. Our waitress was very cordial, and attended to us throughout the meal. We chose selections from the prixe fix menu that sounded appetizing, but lacked any taste appeal. The lobster ravioli was generously filled, but the sweet roasted pepper sauce did not... read more
