Jasmine was our server and was delightful. The meal started with their fresh breads—the Asiago bread is to die for, along with a perfectly complementary, light, whipped, divine butter. The seasonal cocktails were fantastic! I am rarely enamored with fish dishes, but my wife had the hogfish, which was superb, and my Mahi Mahi was excellent as well. Wines are reasonably priced and are focused on pairing well with the meals. A lovely creme brûlée, along with an espresso martini, finished off an excellent evening and meal! Cheers!

Crab cakes were black burnt. Fried goat cheese was black burnt as well. Both inedible. Bread with goat cheese was hard as a rock. Cesar salad was tasteless. The serving order was incorrect. They served my wife her salad for dinner! Terrible experience.

We arrived at the restaurant at our reservation time and our table was ready. We were greeted by our waiter, I think Michele was her name, which was very friendly. We ordered a bottle of wine and a French onion soup and a lobster bisque. The onion soup was good but the lobster bisque was very watery and it had fish scales in it, of course, I did not want it after finding fish scales at every spoon-full. We then ordered a tuna appetizer and the avocado was not fresh and tasted bitter and the tuna was brown. We returned that too. Our waiter was very apologetic. We then ordered the yellowtail franceise. The sauce was tasty but the fish was not fresh and mushy but we ate it because at this time we were hungry. We have been to butterfly cafe many times and we are locals but this time something was way off, perhaps a different chef. Very disappointing after spending $283.00 for a dinner which did not match the price.
