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…

...Parkay.... – Seriously though, Butter is the genuine article. I had a terrific steak and my wife had the shrimp salad. THe well-heeled crowd did a good job of making pretty scenery for us while we ate.

Beautiful Setting! – After hearing Paris Hilton rave about Butter, I thought I would book reservations and give it a try. I booked reservations a month in advance, and while the restaurant was fairly empty at 8pm, by 11 the restaurant was hopping! There was a clear woodsy ambiance through the restaurant that kept it homey but still very chic. I loved the blend of upscale dining but remaining a caual essence. No one here was stuck up or snobby. Our waitress was happy to help us pick the better of two dishes when we were stuck... read more

Great Food, Trendy, Fun! – I love Butter! Food and cocktails are delicous and always GREAT service. I've been here with my mom several times and also with my girlfriends. Downstairs is a ton of fun and the DJ is great! Love it!

A refreshing surprise on Lafayette Street – I dropped in on Butter for the first time last night. I found it a little strange there is no signage outside and it makes the restaurant a little difficult to see but I was drawn to the wooden facade. The place is beautiful inside and unique. The food was really solid. I had a Cavatappi appetizer and the Hawaiian fish special. I shared some sides and desserts with my colleague and, from start to finish, I found the food to be very tasty and prepared with surprising care. Our serve... read more

Try the Carrot Cake. – I visited Butter for dessert very recently, and there is no doubt that it is not a very beautiful and romantic ambiance. Although I did not eat dinner there, I did have every single one of the desserts on the menu. They are all innovative, generally very tasty (although each can appeal to a different kind of taste), all paired with very good balances of textures and ice cream/sorbets. Our server Gretchen was very knowledgeable on the menu, chef's inspirations behind dishes, wine, etc. I'd recommend tak... read more

Not a huge fan – The place is gorgeous!! I wasn't a big fan of the food though (porterhouse pork chop) - especially for the price.

Fun Media Party – I went to a media party recently at Butter for a UrbanEye, and it was really fun! Honestly, I don't go to many media parties anymore- UNLESS they actually go through the trouble of having it somewhere cool and trendy. I think the inside of Butter is very cool; it has this vibe that is somewhat organic...maybe it was the huge tree photograph, but there's also a lot of wood throughout. I haven't had the food there; although the appetizers they were serving were AMAZING, so I can only imagine that the food is ... read more

Inspiring Chef.... we thoroughly enjoyed it! – We were referred by some friends who reccommended the chef's tasting, and our meal was dynamite! We like Butter because its the only place in the city where you can get a tasting that accomodates your own personal tastes, while is still derived from the main menu. Truly unique experience!
