    Had the gnocchi Mac and cheese and boneless beef short rib with polenta. The gnocchi was delicious as was the short rib. Beignets filled with raspberry jam with a vanilla dipping sauce was also good. Sat at the bar because I was a solo diner. Bartender (Alonso?) was excellent and friendly. Great location for broadway shows, very good comfort food. Not inexpensive, appetizers $20-$30, main dishes $40-$50, desserts $12-$20 range.

    Butter was a fantastic restaurant. We made our reservation at 5:00 to make sure we’d make it to our show that had doors open at 7:00. The service was friendly and attentive and we had our meal and were out by 6:00. They were very kind in not trying to rush us out, but it was the exact dinner experience we were looking for! We had the beef Wellington and the Duck Confit. Both dishes were outstanding.

    The restaurant ambience and atmosphere was great. For appetizers we had the tuna tartare and red and green oak salad, both wonderful. For dinner we ordered the salmon and a pasta appetizer to spilt. The salmon was good but not great. The Cavatappi Pasta was awesome. For desert we had the figs and Raspberry Beignets, OMG! So good! Will definitely come back but will not order the salmon. Server was attentive and nice. Way too long between appetizers and dinner though, we ordered everything at the same time.

    Butter is a beautiful restaurant. My husband and I went for lunch. Everything we ate was delicious. We plan to go back for dinner next time we’re in the city.

    Every time we come in, Janeth takes excellent care of us. She is part of what makes Butter great! The food was great and the atmosphere was wonderful for a Saturday night.

    There is a reason they don't put the price on the sheet they give you with the specials of the day. While I expected they might be more than the prices on the menu, I did not expect to pay $90 for a ribeye steak. And especially for one that was not particularly tender. So, shame on me for not asking the price before ordering it. Lesson learned. We also had the burrata, which was very good, and the parker house rolls, which were also good, but didn't care for the herb butter. My husband had rack of lamb. Service was good, noise levels not too bad. We did mention in the reservation that we were celebrating my birthday, but they never made mention of it although I heard them asking others if they were celebrating a special occasion.
