   I have been to New York many times and have always wanted to try Butter, but I was always alone and when I go to nicer restaurants I always want to have a shared dining experience. This week my husband and I had a week of Christmas in New York and I made sure Butter was on the list of places we would eat. Butter did not disappoint. The hostess and our server Janeth were top-notch. I had a modified Butter Espresso Martini minus the Mezcal. Delicious. For dinner, we split a Buratta Salad and some Parker House Rolls. Whatever the vinaigrette that accompanied the salad was fabulously delicious. The best hunk of Buratta which was so creamy and not the usual curds that most burattas are. The acorn squash and delicata chips were a welcome accompaniment. The Parker House rolls were better than any I've had in Boston's Parker House. We both had the Brazino with Rainbow Chard in a lemon sauce viniagrette. Crispy skin, and tender fish. Well done. We had a bottle of Whitehall Lane Sauvignon Blanc. I was the only who had dessert, just one scoop of the Mocha Chocolate Ice Cream. Perfect finish to a wonderful dining experience or so I thought. Our lovely server Janeth, who was a delight all evening brought us a glass of lovely Champagne to send us off into the busy cold New York City night. The reason I had heard of Butter was because a former New England Patriots Quarterback used to frequent the place and also I am kind of a fan of the own of the restaurant. But yes, if you are in NYC and want a lovely dinner, visit Butter. You won't be sorry!

   Great food. Waiter was slow and inattentive. Again, food made it worth the experience. Nice ambiance!

   We’re in NYC to celebrate our 25th Anniversary and love to watch Alex on the numerous shows she’s competing on; judging; or hosting. The service was absolutely the best we have ever had (and since we have been in 47 states & 16 Countries) I believe that is remarkable. Food was delicious, perfectly prepared and seasoned, loved the decor and while I felt very underdressed (we had been out sightseeing all day and didn’t have time to dash back to our Airbnb to change) I never felt less than or looked down upon as we have in other upscale restaurants around the world when we have shown up for reservations without time to change into dinner attire. The only negative is that I do have food allergies and I asked for a side to be substitutes and was told that sides couldn’t. Which no big deal I just let my husband have that side. (I did not tell the waiter about my allergies in his defense). Overall I would definitely recommend anyone to experience Butter on their next trip to NYC and to be ready for an amazing meal!

   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 .

   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?

    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.
