Excellent food, service, catering

by elyseneiman

The food at the Butterfield is top notch, and always has been my entire life. It is the go-to place for gourmet and homemade pastas, sandwiches, soups, breads, and cookies, not to mention premier olive oils and beautiful pears! The people who work there are always ready to help, and from what I've heard about the catering department, it is absolutely high class, delivering impeccable service, 100% and beyond. I love this place!!!

• Pros: Fresh food, delicious choices
• Cons: None

Like Having A Friend In the Catering Business

by JPC1254

A life long New Yorker, I had my fair share of catered food. Whether it be a social or professional function, it's pretty ho-hum if you know what I mean. That is until, a dear friend of mine introduced me to Butterfield. Faced with an upcoming family gathering, I decide to give them a call. I spoke with a young lady, her name was Joelle. I shared with her my vison for the event and she was quickly on my page. I liked that she just didn't run through the menu but actually took the time to learn about the kind of occasion I was planning and what I hoped to achieve. She made some helpful suggestions and made a concerted effort to work within my budget. I thought that was a good sign. With the exception of my building's tempermental elevator, there were no other anxious moments. The presentation of the food dazzle the eye but more importantly the food lived up to its appeal. The quality, the taste and the freshness could easliy rival a high end restaurant. The stuffed loin of pork quickly became a favorite. Needless to say, my family wanted the recipe. Unfortunatley, the best I could do was to offer them Butterfield's card. I would urge you to include the apple pie in your dessert choices. The apples were expertly spiced and not over cooked and the pastry offered a flakey crunch that melted in your mouth leaving a buttery flavor that linger on your pallette. (yes, dessert is my favorite part of the meal) It so reminded me of my mom's apple pie. I really believe I got outstanding value. I am so pleased with Joelle and her crew that I feel I owe them this review. Going forward, it's as though I now have a friend in the catering business.

• Pros: The quality is definitely there and the presentation makes your mouth water. The delivery persons were so courteous.
• Cons: none
