I should make clear up front that my boyfriend and I have no interest in "scene," we're just looking for good food. Which wasn't at Butter. The food wasn't so much BAD as it was just PLAIN. I had a fish dish that involved bacon and even that lacked flavor. How can bacon lack flavor? I was bored, every dish was edible and well cooked... but there was no surprise, no diversity of flavor... nothing that said "here is something passionate." On the plus side, I liked the atmosphere (even where we sat in the basement) and our waitress was overwhelmingly sweet and helpful.

Pros: Nice idea, trees on the wall.

Cons: Food that didn't seem to care about itself.

Editor's Review

Like its rich, indulgent namesake, this Village restaurant never really goes out of fashion.  See the full editorial review.

Insider Tips

Where to Sit

The upstairs decor is a bit more dramatic, though the downstairs offers a loungier scene, and a DJ plays after 10pm on weekends.
