    This was our second time here in the last month. Jordan, who was our bartender the first time remembered exactly what we had to drink a month ago!!! She is so nice and professional The Henry should be proud to have her as an ambassador! The first time was for brunch and it was amazing (the quiche is awesome!). This time was for lunch and it did not disappoint! The short rib ravioli and the club sandwich were both excellent! We can't wait to come back!

    Walked in late for our reservation, the staff kindly greeted and sat us, from the entry to our dessert the experience was one of the best I’ve had in the past 15 years of downtown dinning. The attention from the staff as group in the entire restaurant was truly a testament to the culture that has been created at the Arrogant Butcher. We look forward to our next experience. Happy Holiday’s! ABOMB the artist

    Such a festive outdoor setting with wonderful food and drinks. We started with drinks at Sidecar and then moved over to the beer garden tables outside for dinner. It was great for our larger group of 7. We love the whole experience.

    My first time here and it was ok. Nothing good or bad about it. Normal food that you can get anywhere. The was food came as I requested. The waitress was great. The bathrooms remind me of being in a club. Toilet paper all over the floor and on the sink they had two big rolls of paper towels just sitting there.
