    Really excellent food. We had the 16oz ribeye steak and the Chilean Sea Bass. Both were full of amazing flavors and did not disappoint! I've just returned from Las Vegas where I ate at the Golden Steer and Peter Lugers steakhouses...this was right up there with them! Really great food if you don't mind the price. It's not cheap.

    First time there. Food was fabulous, had to turn away food a number of time because we were just too full. Dessert was great. Service was wonderful. The server found out that we were celebrating our engagement anniversary (30 years) and made up a special plate for dessert with a message to us. Just a little spendy for us, and they didn't mention that some of the offerings weren't included, so we saw a charge for the grilled pineapple on our bill for 13.50, but it was never told to us that that was an additional charge. Otherwise, a fun, adventurous culinary experience!

    My boyfriend and I went to Butcher & The Boar for Valentine's Day and it was perfect! The food was phenomenal— the long rib was so tender, the cheddarwurst sausage was delicious, the chive + sour cream mashed potatoes were the best mashed potatoes I've ever had. Our server, Ian, was wonderful! He was attentive and fun! Highly recommend Butcher & The Boar!

    The first time the staff were beyond professional. If any other restaurant had half the customer service these people did they would be top rated restaurants. Everything was professionally set out, and staff were on top of getting her drinks ready and making sure our food was to our standards and liking. Biggest variety of meat and buffet that we’ve been to. We’ll definitely be returning and highly recommend.
