Totally Unique This restaurant has a very unique concept and interestingly enough it really works in the South End. As you can imagine their food is basically all meat all the time and it's really good. They also sell some of their meat, sauces, dips, etc. out of a freezer near the back of the restaurant. It's a small place but can be quite the scene on a busy night. If you're looking for a South End unique gem, this is it.

Cool concept, nice execution Cool combination of specialty store and a very good restaurant. The starters are really wonderful but I am a little surprised that the selection is as narrow as it is for main dishes. That said, the quality of the food is very good and this is one of the South End's real finds.

South End nibbles Glenn and Amber basically said it all - I'll add that the counter in the back (standing room only) is perfect for a glass of wine and a small plate while you wait for your table at the nearby B&G Oysters (same owner, chef Barbara Lynch, who also runs No. 9 Park, among others).

Meat in many permutations – I am writing this after eating at the Butcher Shop many times. I have never been disappointed. The first time I went, I sat at the bar and devoured everything out in front of me. I was introduced to a delicious raw honey that accompanies the bread (& can be purchased by the jar). The honey was amazing and opened my eyes to honey like I never tasted before. I can say that this theme continues with the components of the appetizers and entrees. Barbara Lynch has created a wonderful place with interes... read more

what a disappointment! – Do not waste your time or money. The atmosphere was dreary and quiet. A few girls and I met in Boston and had dinner at the fabulous restaurant Stella and headed over to the Butcher Shop for drinks and we were greeted by the hostess/manager Amanda who immediately said they were at capacity. She was unfriendly from the very start and after they treated us horribly, to which I must thank them as they actually did us a favor and we ended up across the street and a much better place.

Food, service and wine outstanding!!!! – Simply outstanding food, wine and service. I was impressed how the manager and staff are real foodies and love discussing the food. The wine was paired nicely as well. For what you get, the price was not bad at all. If you want to pay dog food prices, you'll get food that tastes like dog food. This is the real deal and well worth the moderate price and wait!
