The salmon with asparagus that I had was delicious and cooked to perfection. The restaurant looked nice although it’s probably more happening at night. We went for lunch and had a very nice time.

We were very excited to find a table here for a holiday weekend. The inside is very pretty and the service was great. There were a good variety of selections on the menu. We opted to try one of the special apps, a regular app, entree and side. The food was just okay. The special app and the side of fries were the most memorable dishes. The beef Wellington was under seasoned and slightly over medium rare. Service was great and the dessert was good. We probably won’t be back due to the price.

I am a female dining alone. At some restaurants it is a waste of a table and they force a single diner to sit at the bar. Not at Butter, they sat me at a table where I could enjoy the restaurant’s atmosphere. Food was amazing. I recommend the Smoked Double Pork Chop. Make sure to get Jackie as a server. She was great…made me feel special! Overall, it was a superb experience.

We came for an amazing meal and we were not disappointed. The duck confit was delicious, and our bombolone was the perfect way to end the meal. Our server was friendly and attentive. We wanted for nothing.

Mediocre but tasty option in midtown. Cocktails were stellar, hostesses a little juvenile, full staff not educated on menu specifics

My wife is a fan of Chef Alex and said we must dine here, while we are in NYC for our honeymoon. So glad we did. Food was amazing, drinks were great, and the service was impeccable. Our server, Jackie recommended the rolls, gnocchi, and the pork chop. Hands down the best rolls and pork chop we’ve ever had. The gnocchi was great too but, I don’t eat gnocchi that often to say it was the best ever! Jackie even brought us complimentary glasses of champagne, once she she learned we were on our honeymoon! Definitely will return for a meal, during our next visit to NYC.
