   Butler Inn has always delivered good results. People there are always welcoming and service is always great. Their 9 oz filet is their mainstay quality choice ( accompanied with house made chicken rice soup and hash browns) . Ownership did change a year or so ago and most things have remained the same with one exception for me >>> they need to improve the quality of their NY Strip steak - ordered it last two visits and thumbs down both times .

   Excellent food and service! The French onion soup was amazing. The filet was one of the best steaks I've ever had.

   We reserved a table for 4 people on a Saturday night at 6:30. We've enjoyed every meal over the years and have had excellent service, too. That's why my husband and I brought our family to enjoy the Butler Inn. However, there was an EXTREMELY LOUD Elvis-style lounge singer that night that we didn't know of in advance. We'd have come another night if we'd known. My brother has hearing difficulties and could not hear me standing next to him. I have no problems, but the sound level was so excessive as to be stressful. We had to leave, giving up our reservation. Next time, we'll call to ask if there'll be live music before we reserve. Open Table can't tell me that, unfortunately.

   Dear Ann, We sincerely apologize for the experience you had during your recent visit to the Butler Inn. We understand how the loud music affected your dining experience, especially with your brother's hearing difficulties. It’s always our goal to create a comfortable atmosphere for all our guests, and we regret that we didn’t meet that expectation. Thank you for your feedback, and we’ll make sure to better inform guests about live music events in the future. We hope you’ll give us another chance and look forward to welcoming you back soon. Sincerely, Butler Inn Management

   We've always enjoyed BI's 8-9 oz. filet (very tender, juicy, and perfect medium rare). Combine that with a baked potato and a tossed salad and we're a happy couple. Just a suggestion - the interior, although nice, could use an update.

   Our reservations were at 6:30 but we went a little early to have a cocktail at the bar. We had a vodka gimlet and beer and our bill was $14. I ordered another gimlet at the table and was charged $16! The waitress said that the price was correct! It was not even a call brand of vodka. For dinner I had scallops which were good, my husband had shrimp which came from a box. He said they were good but I could have made the same thing at home for less. He did try to order the special which were ribs but they had run out of ribs. There were three choices of potato which were listed on the menu. I ordered the hash brown and was charged a $3.50 up charge which was not stated on the menu nor did the waitress tell us. Since I don't eat much of the potato I would have opted for baked instead of having the additional charge. The atmosphere was nice and service was good. A few of the steaks look good.

    Andres was our server. He was rushed as it was busy on a holiday weekend, but he did his best to meet our requests. The food was very good, even the steamed broccoli!
