Great food and service. Way too loud as they need fabric or panels to absorb the sound.

Always a huge fan but tonight’s dinner was pretty bad. I had a plate of sauce, chicken parm and the chicken was grilled. Penne instead of rigatoni. Everything was smothered in a thick paste of sauce. My daughter’s meatballs were uncooked and pure mush. The meal could not be eaten. They were pink.

This was by far one of the worst dinners we’ve had at Buteras . The lasagna was like glue the meatballs were not cooked they were pale with a gooey texture. The sauce tasted awful . The server never came to see how the meal was and we didn’t eat any of it ! We just got a check and left . We will not be returning ; they have gone downhill with their food . Very disappointing basically threw our money away !

The service was excellent. Our waitress was very personable and friendly. The bus boy was on top of everything. When we asked for something there was no waiting. Probably the best service I’ve had in all the times I’ve been there. Very happy

I had a great experience at Butera’s. They were great with changing my reservation last minute and being flexible for accommodations. The food came out super quick and staff was readily available to help. This might be one of the best meals I have had out dinning.
