- SSandraNew York City •6 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoAmazing holiday classic! The decor is just amazing- beautifully decorated for the holidays. The food was equally amazing. We had the tomahawk steak special with three included sides. The steak was delicious and perfectly cooked. The lobster Mac and cheese and vegetables were delicious and the presentation was worthy of photos which didn’t do it justice. The service was friendly but efficient. We will be back.More infoTavern on the GreenPrice: Expensive• American• Midtown West•4.7

- RRicardoVIPGreater Boston •20 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoI 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!More infoButter MidtownPrice: Expensive• Contemporary American• Midtown West•4.6
