    Everything at Butcher & Rose exceeded my expectations. My fiancé and I went to celebrate our 4th anniversary and upon arriving at the table there was a cute notecard saying happy anniversary. From the person who was refilling our waters, to our actual waiter and even back up waitress everyone was so extremely friendly and knowledgeable about the menu as this was our first time there and had valuable recommendations. The ambiance was nice and felt the price for everything we ordered and the experience was worth the money. I plan to come back again.

    Excellent experience overall! We were seated upstairs, which got to be a little warm, but it was a fun place to sit. Alejandro did an amazing job in taking care of our table. The food was outstanding and we will definitely be back!
