The food was just ok. My menu choice was not good and involved something called forbidden rice without any of the described vegetables in it. The scallops did not taste fresh either. The drinks were average. The staff tried to make it right with the meal but the salad ordered in its place was doused in dressing. I left without eating since my entire party had finished their food. It was a celebration for my birthday so pretty disappointing.

Our server, Jack was amazing! Right on time, attentive and friendly. The food is always great, and this is our go-to spot for pre-games/concerts in the area. Ambience wasn't great as we were seated in a back room with only 3 (maybe 4?} tables with a large TV playing college softball playoffs. It was quieter compared to the rest of the restaurant though.
The Arrogant ButcherResponded 1 day ago
Hi Kathleen! Thank you for the review! We are so glad that we have been such a go to spot for events down town and that the service was on point! I do apologize and the back room wasn’t the most ideal point for seating. We still hope to see you again soon, maybe in a booth!

Vibrant and fun place. Food was just ok. Assumed a place with Butcher in the name would have much better steak. The steak was sad and flavorless Sea Bass was pretty good

We have been at Arrogant Butcher multiple times and keep coming back because the food is outstanding. We haven’t been for over a year until last evening. The oysters were absolutely fantastic, as usual, however we found everything else in our order to be subpar and certainly not what we are used to from AB. The pretzels were overly salty, but the dipping cheese was good. The cauliflower soup was overly runny and lacked flavor and the butcher board was thrown together and lacked what it had flavor wise in the past. The manager did remove the pretzels from our bill, which was a kind gesture. Service was excellent, ambiance was great per usual. But, we should’ve just ordered more oysters for the $100+ spent.

Hi Kristen! Thank you for the review and for coming back to see us so many times! I am sorry sorry to hear that this visit fell short of others when it came to the food service. That is not our standard and it seems we definitely had an off night. There is a lot of care that goes into making our dishes. We would love to see you again soon to remind you what we’re all about!

Went back a second night in a row with 8 of us. Equally spectacular. The filet was cooked perfectly, another person said best burger she ever had. We had shrimp, brussels, spinach and artichoke dip for appetizers, all yummy and such big portions! We also had great cocktails and desserts - the cobbler was AMAZING, as was the sticky caramel cake. Service outstanding again!

Hi Jill! Thanks for coming back and seeing us again! I am so happy to hear that we made such a good impression with every stage of the meal. See you tonight for round 3? Haha!
