What People Are Saying About Butterfield 8

In Short – Young midtown professionals flock to this restaurant and bar--named after a 1960s Liz Taylor movie--for American fare (wraps, steaks, and apple pie) and, perhaps more important, after-work relaxation. Guys in collared shirts and well-heeled ladies fill the brown-leather booths and jostle their way to the long wooden bar. Although the music gets loud and the crowd grows thick on weekends, few customers seem to mind after several rounds of draught beers and specialty cocktails.

Great Experience at Butterfield 8

by LRab

I worked with the manager to organize a surprise 30th birthday party at Butterfield 8 in November and am just now getting around to complimenting her. She was totally helpful and offered many options for our party. We could have the back room (must spend a min amt), reserve several booths (no fee), and order some food. We reserved a few booths and they were cool about me bringing a cake I made. The staff was really nice, totally available when we needed them, but not intrusive. The bar is a step up from my usual "dive bar" hangouts but not much more expensive. It was a really great surprise party (even though the bouncer accidently asked the birthday girl if she was there for the surprise party--oops!) and everybody at Butterfield 8 helped make it special.

  • Pros: Accomodating Staff, Classy Place, Not too Pricey
  • Cons: Gets Crowded Late

slow service

by mrylng

i was really excited to go here since the pictures of the restaurant looked awesome, so my friend and i decided to ht this place up for the dine about town week during lunch. i would have to say the service is slow as hell and the food wasn't even all that great. i think we all ordered the rib eyes. eh, i don't think i'd ever pay that much for food here.

the only good part of this meal was the dessert!!

The food is TO DIE FOR!!

by albert23

Top five favorite places to eat in NY .... yes that's right top FIVE! :)

The ambiance in here is so where it should be. The lighting is just right .. not too bright .. not too dark. Perfect background for a fantastic dinner. The food is 'TO DIE FOR'! We had the mediterranean salad style salad --the best I've ever had!! My friend had one of their atlantic salmon dishes , and I ordered their sesame crusted ahi tuna --Wow, so yummy! We also ordered a glass of wine that was fabulous! I recommend to anyone.

  • Pros: food,ambiance
