   Jasmine was the absolute sweetest server!! Very kind and attentive. This was our first time at Butter and it was exquisite. The food was impeccable. The restaurant was absolutely gorgeous. It didn’t even feel like you were in the heart of New York City. It’s like you were transplanted to a rustic restaurant and the food. I can’t say enough good things about it. The drinks were delicious. The price was outstanding. This will definitely be one of our new spots when we visit New York .

   Our third time visiting Butter restaurant and always had an excellent experience, but this visit our waiter "Freddy" seemed to be overwhelmed. He "charged " us for two drinks that we did not have and when we questioned the charge he said they were drinks from another table that he accidentally put on our bill (over the years we've found this is a scam that wait staff do to increase the bill for more tip, so we always double check the bill.) We also enjoy drinks with dinner but the one tequila drink we did order was so strong we definitely did not want a second one. This for sure was not the best experience we have had at Butter, but like most, people do have bad days. Food was very good, but very disappointed in the service and so called mistakes made at the bar and on the bill make me question another visit.

   I love the restaurant and the ambience. My only complaint is that I booked a reservation and when I arrived, they asked me if the bar was OK. I said yes. However, they didn’t lead me to the bar. They simply pointed me in the right direction and when I got there , there was no place to sit and I had to wait 15 minutes for people to get seated at the table before I could have a place to sit to eat. I wonder then why did I bother to make a reservation?

   We loved everything about our Butter experience! We shared several apps— the Parker house rolls, a Brie and mushroom tart and a cavatelli pasta— all delicious. The dinner portions were generous and divine. We will return!

   We truly enjoyed our dinner at Butter. My aunt had desired to eat here, due to her love of the chef. We arrived and were quickly seated for our reservation. We tried everything from the mac n cheese gnocchi, the rolls (the butter of course, delicious), the pork chops, and the short ribs. The cocktails were delicious and service was exceptional. It was then a short walk over to see the Rockettes to continue our fun evening out.

   We were celebrating my wife’s birthday and we couldn’t have been more happy. Service was amazing, food was amazing.

   The food and service were great. The tables were tall and not comfortable to sit at. There were also a lot of missing finishing touches for the expense.

   Have family in from Ireland and so we made a reservation for 5:45 for 5 people with various tastes in food. We had the most delightful patient waitress great disposition, happy to be there !!! That says a lot right there. The girls had a special cocktail that they just loved, we had a few questions about the menu and our waitress was confident in her answers ! Also a huge plus. We had just excellent service, delicious food a warm comfortable atmosphere and it restored our faith in good service ! A time when people were happy to be at work and confident in the food they were delivering ! I think that all shows a great Team effort ! Their was a younger hostess that seemed to miss the memo, but we didn’t let her energy bring us down

   Butter has been on mine and my wife’s list for some time since we love watching Alex Guarnaschelli and it did not disappoint. We came to NYC for the Macy’s Parade and had a group of 7 where we got many menu options to share around the table and everything was incredible. Trying the Gnocchi Mac & Cheese was creamy and textural and a personal favorite. A lot of thought was put into how simple dishes was elevated to something that just gives you that burst of serotonin. That staff was very polite, attentive, and helpful. The barkeeps crafted flavorful cocktails with combinations that at first we wasn’t sure of, but they ended up tasting balanced and smooth which I loved. The food itself came out quickly and without any errors for how many people we had with us. The ambiance of Butter was beautiful with great music in the background. I look forward to stopping in again the next time I am in NYC!
