   We shared the Wagyu tasting menu which was very good. The ambiance and service was excellent. Loved the bananas foster crepe for dessert. A romantic and fun place to try!

   This was our first time dining here. Everything was amazing. We were brought a complementary appetizer, our waiter was so knowledgeable and so nice. Our food was amazing and the ambiance was perfect. We will definitely go back. I feel like it’s a hidden gem that some don’t know about.

   Great bar and speakeasy feel. Bartenders were amazing and dinner was exceptional. Enjoyed Steak tartare, meatballs, and octopus. Steaks were delicious.

   Absolutely wonderful dinner for the whole family. Amazing appetizers (especially the octopus) with a great wagyu steak tasting board. Top notch drinks and service. Highly recommend … we’ll be back.

   Our restaurant experience was very positive. The ambience was somewhat romantic. The service was very professional and helpful. My wife really liked the scallops and I enjoyed the brick chicken. The carrot cake was over the top. We would definitely return and bring friends.

   I don’t give too many opinions about restaurants unless it needed an opinion on making it a better experience for the customer. In this case, I have to say that I was glad that my family chose to try this place. The staff were great from front of house, to waiter (who did a great job of making you comfortable and relaxed), to kitchen. Usually things can get sideways on a Friday or Saturday night in a restaurant, and as a customer, you can feel that. You folks were on your game! It was the right place for our daughter’s 18th birthday dinner. Thank you to everyone at Butcher and the Bear for helping us have a nice evening out and a great meal.

   The dining room is beautiful! It's sexy, dark and warm....very inviting. Stash, the bartender made killer drinks and had jokes to match. The food was amazing! Oysters Rockefeller were baked perfectly with a crusty top. Octopus was incredibly tender and was paired so well with the dueling sauces. The wagyu tar tar had a fun twist and was served with hollowed out fingerlings instead of chips or crustini's. The foie gras toast was to die for. The ribeye and the scallops were perfectly executed and the Mac n cheese was super flavorful. It wasn't too creamy or too dry either. It could've been hotter, but that's a small detail. The only thing we didn't care for was the seafood salad. There was almost no salad or seafood. It was primarily farro which was not a pleasant mouth feel. Sky's service was warm and hospitable. It was a perfect night out with my dear friend and I couldn't be happier. It's pricey, but worth every penny. Can't wait to go back!

    The food was excellent. We all had steaks, all cooked to perfection. We shared mashed potatoes, mac and cheese, and crispy brussels sprouts - all were outstanding. We also had dessert. The chocolate cake was delicious, but the biscoff cheesecake stole the show. It was amazing.
