                                                      the restaurant accepts reservations for bar seating but then doesn’t hold a seat for the reservation. why bother accepting the reservation then? bar staff neglects the corner and far end of the bar and spends a lot of time fraternizing with other restaurant staff. upon receipt of appetizers larger than I was expecting, I immediately canceled my entree order, but this was not taken off the check. all around poor customer service. I will not be returning.

                                                      We happened upon Butter when we were looking for dinner between shows and wanted to get just a bit outside Times Square. And what a wonderful discovery. We sat at the bar and had an excellent experience all around. Friendly attentive service and fantastic food. The short rib and pork chop were both very generous portions and delicious. And you cannot leave without sharing an order of the otherworldly raspberry beignets. This will be my go-to for dinner when returning to NYC.

                                                      We thoroughly enjoyed all of the food offerings which included the mushroom arancini, side of fries, branzino, and double pork chop. However, even with a reservation we were seated in the first booth, which feels more connected to the waiting area than it does to the full restaurant. Again, the food was exceptional, which is why we went to Alex G’s special restaurant in the first place.

                                                      I brought friends from Minneapolis and we were all so happy with the food and service.

                                                      Food was good. It seemed a little pre-prepared but still good. Waitress was excellent. Very nice and didn’t rush us at all. Ambiance is great, good scene, and noise level was also at a low which is perfect for conversation. Overall very pleased with experience and definitely recommend. We will be back.
