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…

Absolutely Positive experience.......just awesome – Great food, great service, great ambience.....What else can I say but Greaaaaatttt!!!!! I recommend the tasting menu and wine paring. The chef was very creative as the food had really good presentation and good tastes. The wine paring totally completed the food too. Our server Gretchen had extensive knowledge of the wine she served...she described how each would taste after the first and third sip, and recommended a fabulous bottle of wine. She was just outstanding, right o... read more

Simply the best on Lafayette – North of Houston Street there are several great restaurants. Butter is one of them. Great food, romantic, just a great allover dining experience.

Superb Maitre'd – I work for Bloomberg and we have our own restaurant review website which I go on every now and then. I had heard consistent positive things about Butter's Maitre'd for the past two years so I decided to give the restaurant a try. We were greated immediately, coats were checked immediately, and I was given the best table in the house. I have never met such a charasmatic individual in the restuarant industry, and the food and service are on par. Great experience!

long wait time.... – There were 5 of us with no reservation and we waited about an hour before we sat down. Service was attentive and food was pretty good too. The chef came out and send us complimentary desserts which was very thoughtful. I would go back if I didn't have to wait an hour for the meal!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great party, Better food! – As a regular at ?Parkay,? Butter?s Monday night party, I?ve enjoyed the space and vibe for years. Monday night that all changed. I decided to take my date for dinner before the party. I don?t know why I didn?t eat there before. I let the waitress pick the wine. I?m not into wine, but she got us a pinot noir, and my date said it was excellent. I love lamb so I got the pasta with lamb sausage to start. Really good, curly pasta, and a creamy yellow sauce. I then had the Lamb Chop. Done medium rare. I... read more

like butter baby... – The service was great, the food was excellent, and the dessert was ridiculously delicious! It was a thoroughly enjoyable and memorable meal. My table had calamri, two fish dishes (halibut and snapper), and two desserts - all of which were excellent. Very fresh. The space is beautiful... I felt like I was in an airy forest in the middle of the city.

Speechless.... – Genuinely, I am left with so much to say. It's simply wonderful. Atmosphere, food, service; all amazing.. I was quite excited to go, despite my frustrations about Butter being closed on Sundays, went, and was subsequently perfect including the dessert!

Meh. – I should make clear up front that my boyfriend and I have no interest in "scene," we're just looking for good food. Which wasn't at Butter. The food wasn't so much BAD as it was just PLAIN. I had a fish dish that involved bacon and even that lacked flavor. How can bacon lack flavor? I was bored, every dish was edible and well cooked... but there was no surprise, no diversity of flavor... nothing that said "here is something passionate." On the plus side, I liked the atmosphere (even where we sat in the basement) and o... read more
