    Everything went very well. My wife and I ordered and shared 16 ounce prime rib. Others ordered prime rib meals, pastas and short rib ravioli. In addition, we had the seafood tower. Service was fantastic and all servers were very attentive. Will definitely go back.

    The steak was good as well as potato and salad. The cheesecake should have been thrown away a long time ago, it was awful. It tasted like it was frozen and defrosted 10 times. We couldn't eat it and it was tiny. The waitress didn't know the difference between New England and Manhattan clam chowders. No clue at all. Overall way overpriced for the experience, very basic steak for two - $180

    We had a reservation and were promptly seated upon arrival. The staff were very friendly, and our waitress was attentive and informative. The team went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. The portions were generous, and the food was flavorful. I particularly enjoyed the variety of steak sauces offered. Highly recommended!!

    My Husband's ribeye was very tough, he couldn't chew it so he sent it back. He asked for a filet(medium rare), it came out medium. We probably won't be going back.

    We had a great time celebrating early Father’s Day dinner. We come to the Butcher Shop on special occasions. The food she drinks are very good. The restaurant has many stories as you can see from the decor. It’s a very nice restaurant for any occasion The service is very good too.

    We went because of the great reviews to celebrate a birthday but were disappointed. The host was very scattered and confused. We had a review on Open Table and he didn’t check our name and we had designated a special birthday. It took us awhile to get seated and he was just going back and forth and just seemed very befuddled. Our waitress must have had too many tables because service was extremely slow. We had to ask for water 3 times before we got it. The food itself was very good. The steaks were good and two of us got fish. We also ordered dessert which was good. The steaks were a little too done compared to what was asked, but the fish was very tasty. We started with the parmesean bread and that was very good. The food is good but the experience overall was not exceptional. The waitress uniform was very skimpy for a steak house while the male waitors wore long shirts and long pants- it seemed demeaning to the female staff. The boys should also wear short shorts if the girls have to.

    Staff throughout the restaurant were professional and attentive. The bartender really knew how to make a good manhattan and that’s hard to find. The food was prepared and presented to perfection. My first time there but it’s a new favorite.

    You will feel like you're out with VIPs in 1950s Chicago or New York! What a great restaurant! The service is excellent and the food is fantastic. We had the shrimp cocktails and a bottle of champagne to start...then on to Merlot with lamb chops, steaks, and pasta. We had a lovely birthday celebration and more scrumptious dessert!
