We’re in NYC to celebrate our 25th Anniversary and love to watch Alex on the numerous shows she’s competing on; judging; or hosting. The service was absolutely the best we have ever had (and since we have been in 47 states & 16 Countries) I believe that is remarkable. Food was delicious, perfectly prepared and seasoned, loved the decor and while I felt very underdressed (we had been out sightseeing all day and didn’t have time to dash back to our Airbnb to change) I never felt less than or looked down upon as we have in other upscale restaurants around the world when we have shown up for reservations without time to change into dinner attire. The only negative is that I do have food allergies and I asked for a side to be substitutes and was told that sides couldn’t. Which no big deal I just let my husband have that side. (I did not tell the waiter about my allergies in his defense). Overall I would definitely recommend anyone to experience Butter on their next trip to NYC and to be ready for an amazing meal!
