Butcher's House is a modern-day brasserie concept centered around the antique craft of butchery. Upon entry, the guest will be totally immersed in the atmosphere and ambiance of a familiar warmth in a new light through the visibility of chefs at work, beautiful cuts of meat hanging in the dry-aging room, and the perfectly seared steaks on the wood-burning grill. The passion and craftmanship behind Butcher's House will not only be translated through the food but also at the bar where you will find a selection of artisan beer on tap, and a well-focused wine selection. Butcher's House aims to share the passion and artistry of the butcher's craft with you.

    I ate the filet mignon with butter lettuce. It was better than Houstons and Mastros.

    So glad we tried this restaurant. The food was amazing, great ambience, service was perfect. We had the Eggplant appetizer and Onion Soup to start. Both were awesome. The Petite Filet with a side of Shallot Sauce were spot on. And the lamb meatballs with olive & feta garnish were delicious. Outside patio was a great option. We will go back soon

    Great place to eat. The owner & chef is from Toulouse, France, and it shows in the quality of the French-oriented food. The steaks are aged on the premises. My wife and I will definitely return.

    Onion soup, which has been highly rated, was just average, in my opinion. Bread was difficult to obtain and slightly stale when it arrived without butter available. Out of filet, which seemed unusual for a steakhouse. Had a French sausage instead, which was good. Service slow and casual; music live and loud.

    First time here and it won’t be my last. Loved the food ( best French onion soup I’ve ever had and I’ve had a lot at many, many restaurants ). Excellent pork chop.. lovely service. A delightful dining experience. Can’t wait until they get their full liquor license. This place is a must..

    We enjoyed the food quality overall. The four stars is because the "French butter" they promote was a week or so past it's prime and the bread accompanying it is pretty meager. They can do better with both.

    This little gem is the BEST steak house in Orange Co. Yes, we have been to the others, but this is hands down the best quality and prep. Oh and their French Onion Soup is delicious. So is their Beet Endive Salad. Tired of paying $20-$30+ dollars for a glass of French wine? You may have found your favourite steakhouse too! We will be back (again)!

    Hangar steak was great, cocktails were very underwhelming. Margarita was very watery. Service was decent but they charged us the large party automatic gratuity (20%) even though our group only had 6 people. Not cool.

    Oh my, where to begin....Maddie, our server, took the time to call before our reservation to reconfirm and see if we needed anything else. Then we were allowed to sit at the bar for a drink before dinner while waiting on our business clients. When we moved to the table, she was so great in her descriptions and suggestions...It made me wonder why she is just a server. As she served as a receptionist, hostess and server...All was great and we can't wait to return. Thanks again Maddie!!!!!!

    I always just read the bad reviews so I can prepare myself. I did not have any issues at all and none of the 1 star reviews showed at our dinner for 3! Overall the steaks were cooked just as we ordered and tasted great! Would definitely dine here again.

    The food was very good but small portions for the price. It's a small restaurant with limited seating. I felt like we were packed in from a seating perspective. They do have outside seating options which looked like it was less crowded.

    Pros: Cute ambience Great live music Good service Cons: Food wasn’t good enough to come back. Steak was ordered medium-medium rare and came out medium well. Fries were stale and martini was like water. Burrata appetizer with acorn was best dish.
