Wonderful meal. Absolutely knock out basil cucumber cocktail at the bar before being seated for dinner. Salad and main were well executed. Chenin Blanc wine was slightly more chilled than my taste, but a very small nit. Would definitely recommend.

The parkers rolls and butter make carbs the friend, not foe. Worth it just for a drink and those buttery bad boys. Steak was amazing as well as the crab toasts. Porck chop best i ever tried and i dont usually like pork. The place smells amazing, toasty and warm like a cabin in the mountains but it looks sophisticated. Loved the whole experience

The chef is not in charge of her kitchen. My green salad was dripping oil — a pool of oil was left on the plate. The roasted chicken was overcooked and the sauce was overpowering. Also, no vegetable accompaniment with the chicken made for a poor experience. At these prices I expected better quality food and a little more finesse.

Another great dinner at Butter! We had the fried green tomatoes, short ribs, branzino, and fries, and every single bite was delicious. The service was amazing as well, very friendly and very efficient. I would recommend this to anyone!
