Butter Midtown has a menu that's full of hearty dishes, many of which are cooked in a wood-fired oven. Standouts include the Welsh rarebit , the roasted chicken , and the monster Tomahawk steak for two.
The grilled double cut pork chop is amazing! Everything on this plate including the collard green sauerkraut was flavorful. This dish is a must. Have it prepared medium, great stuff!
The bread is toasted to perfection, but its sea salt crusted top is the real showstopper. Absolutely divine. For an appetizer , order the Brussels sprouts with homemade ricotta
Nice place, all the food was perfect (we tried the shrimp , NY steak , Mac and cheese , beignets ). Our host was so nice! Expensive and noisy , but the food is worth it.
The pan-seared branzino was delicious. Butter-cut beef fillet was legendary. A great spot for a romantic dinner . Also, a beautiful decor and a relatively quiet restaurant .
The Pork Chop Ribs are so tasty. But the Halibut is a most. We share both an it was a great decision to be able to try it. The key lime ice pie was almost perfect.
The entrees were amazing! Get the NY strip steak . Raspberry beignets were pretty good too, although a tad too tart . The veal bacon wasn't too great, mostly due to the sour mustard sauce .
The raspberry beignets were outstanding! The vanilla dipping sauce took them to the next level. Everything on the dessert menu looked amazing.
The interior decor is enough to check this place out. I have gone for restaurant week but the service is always fantastic and they will give you as much bread and fancy butter as your heart desires
This place is definitely special. Try the pear cocktail - to die for. Also, the raspberry beignets are their signature dessert for a reason. Take your time here. Enjoy every bite.
Great prix fixe lunch for $35. The chicken liver toasts are excellent and so was the salmon special.
came 4 a work dinner & can honestly say we ordered everything on the menu! nettle ravioli and the cobbler were standouts. sooo good.
As much as I love the ambiance here the place is starting to feel dated. Unimaginative cocktail list needs help. Why do the straws come with paper on top? Is this a diner ??
Try the veal bacon . This and the primitvo wine mustard on top definitely gives pork bacon a run for its money.
They drip hot caramel over the top of it so it sizzles briefly and then freezes into this candle-like beauty. Read more
The meal, the service, the staff , the ale and the food. Glorious food! Outstanding
Service is suuuuper slow but the food is tasty. Ask for Salmon with cranberry potatoes and a side of broccoli .
Came for restaurant week . Great food and our large party was treated well . Definitely recommend, whether it's restaurant week or not!
Don't miss out on the private garden in the back, perfect for a summer night!
Veal bacon is awesome beignets delicious. Nice decor, pleasant atmosphere , polite if slightly excessive service
Definitely exceeded expectations. I'm with everyone about that Brussels sprouts appetizer...excellent. Cocktails are also great, but they better be at those prices.
Drinks run a bit pricey , so your best bet is to split a bottle of wine at the bar and an order of very good fries .
If you're lucky, you might catch Iron Chef Guarnaschelli there. If not, you can always get an autographed photo.
butter is a fine dining experience. I do however advise it make a reservation it gets busy but defiantly worth the wait
The French toast is HUGE, delicious, and full of flavor. I also really enjoyed the Brussels sprouts .
Everything is incredible. Don't miss the brussel sprout toasts and raspberry beignets for dessert .
Parkerhouse rolls are amazing! Also get the Gnocchi Mac and Cheese , you won't regret it!
Venue is big and gorgeous. With Alex Guarnaschelli's name, it doesn't have a problem filling that space. Meal food is great but I was not quite satisfied with desserts ...
This used to be a playground for celebrities, now it’s a fun place to have a fancy dinner , especially if you get seated downstairs.
Great ambiance, great music , great food, great service, great choice. Very pleased. Specialty cakes you can preorder for special occasions are delicious.
Very good dinner overall. DO not miss the veal bacon to start and the beignets for dessert .
can't go wrong with anything on the menu, but what shines is the ghost margarita and the beignets
Brussel sprout salad and Veal bacon are a must! Lovely atmosphere and service.
Food was good, the subtle use of just the potato skin with the fries gave a different texture to good house fries .

Didn't make it out for Monday night? Go for dinner any other day of the week—it will more than make up for it. Chef Guarnaschelli definitely know's her way around a menu.
When 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.
The chicken breast is very moist. Not a single dry piece. Just the way I like it.
Food Network chef , Alex Guarnaschelli focuses on local, seasonal ingredients at the celeb favorite, Butter, in New York, NY.
Decent pre-fixe for lunch . Cauliflower entree was unique and good. Skate wing was served pretty cold & needed a side dish to make it a meal. Loud . Not great for conversation.
wasn't impressed with their food during restaurant week , BUT holy crap when we came back for their normal menu, we were blown away! Hudson Valley Foie Gras & Raspberry Beignets were to die for!
Garlic potatoes and the sweet corn crime brûlée! Do it.
Very good butter burger . Soups are very good. Slow service, even for lunch .
Chic and popular hangout. Food will cost a pretty penny but it's worth it.
The midtown outpost of chef Alex Guarnaschelli 's downtown American restaurant .
The gnocchi melts in your mouth. Very creamy.
The Raspberry Beignets are the dessert to have. So yummy!
Owner and chef Alex Guarnaschelli says, “Butter is an 8-year labor of love.” The Cavatappi pasta dish with spicy lamb and yellow tomato sauce is Chef Guarnaschelli’s favorite.
Delightful and beautiful...great atmosphere, music and service...Love it!
Every steak I've had here is exquisite. I try to come here whenever I'm in town .
Beautiful interior and really nice food and drinks. Order the crabtoast and a pasta or turkey sandwich and you're good to go. - Esme Brinkman
We definitely suggest trying the hot fried chicken with honey butter biscuits and slaw. They have our token Southerner’s approval! - Bitches Who Brunch
For brunch, don’t miss the biscuits with thai curry gravy or the monkey bread! - CITY GRIT
Good music and nicely loud sound, also pretty nice work with lightning. good public. Left it at 5 perfectly drunk. It was fun ;) - Polya Shubina
