   A really disappointing experience for a restaurant by an Iron Chef. We were looking forward to a dining experience but it wasn’t that. Our server never told us his name and was inattentive and unavailable. Food was adequate but not anything memorable.

   The place is beautiful. The food and service amazing. The only reason for 4 stars was because it was so uncomfortably warm. Ugh!

   Butter is a favorite for my husband and I! We are big fans of Alex Guarnaschelli and the food at Butter is always incredible. We shared the strip steak and branzino and both were cooked perfectly. The crispy skin on the branzino was amazing. Of course to finish things off, we shared the raspberry beignets which did not disappoint!

   Charge for the infamous rolls and butter now. A bit disappointing. No oysters now, it was just not how I remembered it.

   Out of this world food. From the main courses to the sides -- Cavatappi pasta and smashed potatoes. Who knew potatoes could be so so delicious!! Excellent, friendly, attentive and competent service. I will be going back when I am in town again. Kudos to Alex and her team!

    Everything was delicious and the service was incredible. I love that Butter has delicious options for vegetarians. The cauliflower was so good! I’ll be dreaming about the gnocchi mac and cheese until my next trip to New York. I would definitely plan for spending 2 hours here for dining. We had a 5:15 reservation and were out in just about 2 hours in plenty of time for our 8 PM show.

    Our waitress was emotionally void and made the overall experience sub par. It was our daughters 13th bday celebration and she didn’t even acknowledge it after we told her what we were celebrating. Food was ok but the great look/feel of the place was killed by the staff.

    This was everything we hoped for when we booked the reservation. The place is very nicely decorated and the staff delightful. We started with a drink at the bar and then sat down, meeting our lovely server Janet. Everything was just perfection and the meal was over the top. I was going to get the chicken but she recommended the pork chop. I'm so glad she did, it was the best pork chop I ever ate and it was the sauce that really did it. Oh, and the homemade bread and butter, damn good. I cannot say enough good and can't wait to go back next time I'm in town!

    I am not exaggerating that our meal was one of the best ever. From the delicious Parker House rolls to the Raspberry Beignets… I am so sorry I cannot remember our server’s name, he was excellent. The restaurant has a great vibe and greater music. Thank you Alex, Butter and staff Kathy McGowan

    I really enjoy watching Alex on tv and following her Instagram, so this was a treat! Let’s start from the top…. The Calamansi cocktail was refreshing and delicious and I thoroughly enjoyed the watermelon ice cubes. My friend got this as a mocktail and was equally impressed. The Parker rolls and 2 butters were great. For appetizers: Prosciutto di Parma with melon and caper berries was solid Gnocchi Mac and cheese. The gnocchi was the best I have ever had, like little clouds but there were too many breadcrumbs on top which made it hard to enjoy the simplicity of this really wonderful dish. For mains I had the chicken - it was alright. Not as wonderful as I thought it should be…but it’s chicken and it was cooked perfectly My friend had the branzino which she said was very good. For sides we had the broccolini -also very good Smashed potatoes - addicting even without the blue cheese Lastly the lemon roll cake….just get this and eat it! So light and refreshing after a heavy meal. Service was great - our waiter was very conscientious about making small talk despite how very busy he was. Overall the staff was super attentive and showed you that they cared about this restaurant and this food. It was nice. While I can’t rate this as outstanding - it was still all I wanted it to be. I do highly recommend

    We had pre-theater with a 7pm curtain and while our children were late, we ordered by 5:45. Appetizers came in 15 minutes. Our entrees came at 6:40. We asked for the check with the entrees. Had to ask 3x. Had to carry the check to the server to pay. No time for dessert and coffee. Food was great but not a pre-theater restaurant.

    This was our second time to Butter. The first time was before the pandemic. We are so glad that Butter was still here when we came back to NYC! We love ICAG and the food was just as amazing as we remembered! Make sure you save room for the raspberry beignets! Our lobster risotto was also cooked to perfection and melted in our mouths!

    Everyone loves Alex G. The rolls were good. The mac and cheese was delicious. Son enjoyed his lobster risotto. My Branzino was good. Wife’s pork chop was pink throughout not just in the middle. Sent it back. She enjoyed the Branzino. No dessert we just wanted to leave. Server and manager took good care of us. We would not go back.

    We had a great time. Went there to celebrate the date. The chicken butter was so succulent and the chicken was very tender. It was a bit loud so we couldn’t hear each other very well. The servers accommodated our request to change and the wine was just so refreshing and smooth. Really nice experience, will definitely come back!
