James CAugust 8, 2014The steak was like the name of the restaurant BUTTER. Really nice place. It is pricey though.
Daniela GiacobboJune 29, 2014Delightful and beautiful...great atmosphere, music and service...Love it!
Lowell RocolcolFebruary 12, 2012If you have at least 3 hours to spare, do the chef tasting. Excellent food, I must say. Otherwise, stick to their a la carte menu.
MarionDecember 8, 2014Every steak I've had here is exquisite. I try to come here whenever I'm in town.
Rory ParnessAugust 21, 2012Maya shrimp for a great surf n turf and finish off with the white chocolate soufflé
Beka OuyangFebruary 3, 2012I'll save you the headache of choosing: cavatappi pasta, duck confit and pound cake. Done. You'll thank me later

Jorge BrionesAugust 15, 2014When I read the name of the restaurant I was expecting well...butter. To my joy it was more than that. If you can't pick up my sarcasm then forget you. FYI: I hate Foursquare.
Chris DouglasNovember 2, 2014Great bar staff, but waiting team let it down. Food in our group was very hit and miss. Sadly more miss than hit.

Allison ErnstDecember 29, 2010If you like a simple yet delicious dessert, the pineapple upside down cake should be your first choice!
Andrew C.June 12, 2016Good space for small corporate meals. Acoustics are horrible for larger groups. Food is well executed, but nothing particular to shout about.

Jen jenDecember 20, 2011had the most severe food poisoning of my life!!! I thought I was gonna die! but the donut dessert was delicious!
BravoJanuary 27, 2010Monday night is THE night of music, friendship and great food. The chef can make you whatever, whenever. -Marilyn Crawford, Launch My Line
- Lowell RocolcolFebruary 12, 2012The food is excellent. The service is quite slow. I hope it's just a busy night and Chef Alex was not having a panic attack in the kitchen...
Eaters HeavenJune 2, 2016Fish of the day - not memorable, dry, overcook. Chopped salad - average, a bit over dressed. Space is nice & intimate. I'd give it a pass. Very average. :(
Mandar MJune 14, 2010Butter Mondays are legendary. Impossible to get in so don't even try unless you happen to be Brangelina ;)
Call on an evening with bad weather, get a table for two with 30 minutes notice.
