    Upon arrival, we were promptly seated and prepared for dinner. The restaurant's cleanliness and organization were immediately apparent. Although the rear seating area became uncomfortably warm, and bathroom access was limited due to high demand, the outstanding cuisine made up for these drawbacks. The Butcher's platter, generously portioned for four guests, was a highlight, and its delicious flavors ensured a thoroughly enjoyable dining experience.

    Food was good! Portions were stingy and they didn’t have a variety of vegetables sides. They should offer more entrees with sides.Service was ok the waiter didn’t check on us much. But I like u can see the cooks make your food it was cute

    The restaurant was closed when we showed up for our reservation. No call or email letting us know. We had to find another place for brunch on a Sunday at the last minute. Very disappointing

    My twin and I went there to celebrate our birthday. Our first time dining here here. Everything was amazing! Starting from the first thing we saw. I liked the front entrance. The appearance glowed and was very welcoming and the door wasn’t your average normal door, it was a wall that was knocked down and made into an entrance, I really liked that. The host, was very friendly, helpful and handsome. We were seated in the best seat in the house. We weren’t crammed, it was well lit and comfortable. Our server was super friendly. Liked her Russian accent. She took care of us from the moment we sat down at our table until we said our goodbyes. She guided us with the menu. We told her what we liked and she helped us figure out what we were going to have. With 2 big guys and 2 petite girls, The Butcher Block was plenty for the 4 of us and super delish! I can’t forget the drinks , Butchers Sip was very tasty, but the Old Fashion was my fave. Last but not least, our birthday desserts was decadent to the last drop of sugar. Our first time experience here was simply amazing from beginning to end. We will definitely be coming back for more deliciousness. Thank you Blind Butcher!🙏🏽🫶🏽🙌🏽
