Butter Midtown - New York

This place is a must do. The environment, service and the food are on point. You do need to make reservations ahead of time and the reservations start a month out, which we did. The host was very accommodating in switching time when we asked to pull in the dinner time. The food is absolutely great. The rolls are a must do when ordering and we did the major entrees (chicken, steak, pork chop, and braised short ribs). All were excellent. Easy to find if you?re in the times square area. A much needed stop after a full day of being a tourist.

We?ve been trying to get into Butter for a while. It did not disappoint! We started with the burrata and tomatoes?DELICIOUS! I had the short rib with a side of potatoes, my wife had the chicken with broccoli. Everything was amazing!

Finally made it here for dinner and it was absolutely delicious. Their menu ranges from comfort food dishes executed perfectly to harder to find dishes with amazing tastes. Tried the rolls, the crudo flatbread, the beef Wellington, crushed potatoes, and the raspberry beignets. All were seriously delicious! Well balanced flavors and textures for amazing bites. Their cocktail menu was also excellent, I tried the Gold Bar and their bitter smoky drink (can?t remember the name! and they were very well balanced. Service was excellent and the food was paced perfectly. Also felt like the dishes were fairly priced for a Manhattan restaurant run by a celebrity chef. You can tell there?s a lot of care that goes into every plate. As far as ambience, I felt really welcomed at the restaurant. I wasn?t dressed particularly fancy but I was still treated with respect which was really nice. I enjoyed this meal!

I am on the verge between a 4 star and a 5 star. The service was amazing and we enjoyed their recommendations. My favorite dish would have been one we didn?t order which was the cavatappi pasta. We would not get the fish again and I think I would try something other than the Mac and cheese gnocchi. They were very helpful to make sure we got to our show on time and the beignets were amazing! Make sure to get those!

Outstanding dinner! Each dish is prepared carefully and thoughtfully to bring out the best flavors in everything that crosses your lips. I would highly recommend this spot! I noticed a wide dress standard on the website and that held true, you could easily be comfortable here dressed to the nines, and we also saw a few in couch casual. The atmosphere was great, spacious and comfortable with an intimate but private feel for each table.
