I had an excellent dinner before a Broadway show just down the street. The Foie Gras was outstanding and the lamb sausage cavatappi was excellent. The Calamansi cocktail was perfect with the mint and frozen strawberries.

We loved butter! Went with my girlfriends and we now are implementing wine and rolls Wednesday cause the rolls were that good! We loved the ambience and made you feel like you were not in NYC for a second. Food is amazing we got short rib and salmon. Cannot recommend enough - we will be back for a wine and rolls Wednesday!

The food was excellent although surprisingly needed a little more salt on the polenta and gnocchi. The beef short ribs were so rich and melted in my mouth. Definitely worth a visit but allow 2-3 hours for dinner service. It took a while.

Very cozy. Our double cut pork chops were prepared to perfection! Cocktails were excellent! Mac and cheese gnocchi to die for!

If you’ve watched Gossip Girl or follow the culinary scene, Butter is a highly acclaimed restaurant from celebrity Chef Alex Guarnaschelli Between the high arching ceilings creating a modern, posh experience for the intimate diners, there are also laid back booths that let the casual tourist come in for a laid back bite As the name suggests, the butter here is fantastic. The homemade rolls (really tasty) come with a sour cream butter, and an herb butter Given our group size, we had a prixe fix menu. The garden salad could have used something crunchy.. felt like a LOT of lettuce. But everything else was delicious Even as someone who isn’t vegan, the grilled white cloud cauliflower rocked my world. It’s bathed in a creamy, rich coconut milk.. and is prepared using Alex’s grandmother’s recipe (or so the server said) The roasted potatoes with rosemary were outstanding For dessert, the triple chocolate cake was good.. but nothing to write home about. To our surprise, the exterior texture is ‘crunchy’ almost like a glazed syrup (think creme brulee) that’s been torched.. different. But very very rich The raspberry beignets were served with a thick creme anglaise.. tasty but also a tad bit dry (but still delicious!) Btw shout out to our server, Jaclyn, who was extremely attentive and did an outstanding job looking after all 19 of us!

I came here to be a guest speaker for a technology Networking event. I had no idea how a "restaurant" was going to host. I was pleasantly surprised. The space was set up in a private area. They created a wonderful ambiance, and comfortable seating for 10 ppl a table. The staff was top notch, the food was primo and I couldn't have had a better time than I did. I think the main part of the restaurant is perfect if you want to impress some clients, or that special person you know deserves great treatment. Highly recommended, and I'll be visiting again.
