"My Impression..."
by SLY
(9 reviews) February 12, 2008 - On my first trip to The Butler Bar and Grill...I was not too impressed with the service. When I arrived there was a host's podium at the entry, the place was moderately busy and a couple people were waiting. I politely waited, and waited, and waited, and I was never greeted. I decided to just leave if they didn't have time to acknowledge me in the five minutes I had been waiting (eye contact was made), then why stick around.On my second trip...We arrived and the host's podium was in the corner; plenty of tables were open so we seated ourselves. The menu is rather small in items to order (less than 20). We ordered two of the drinks off the bar menu, the Agave and the Boat Drink. The Agave wasn't my cup of tea and the Boat Drink was blended so well that I could not taste the alcohol.The surprise of the evening was the 5 Spice Calamari with Ginger Aioli. The breading was fantastic and the aioli was complemented the calamari perfectly. I could only suggest that the oil be at the appropriate temperature or a more attentive eye kept while the food is in the fryer. The calamari was a little greasy and a tiny bit chewy.For my entree, I ordered the NY Steak which came with garlic mashed potatoes and broccolini. The garlic mashed potatoes were the highlight of the plate. Even now, I can still imagine the flavors melding together. The steak and the broccolini are another matter. The broccolini were over cooked and the tips were just shy of being mush. While I had ordered by steak medium rare, you could visibly see that not enough attention was paid. Rather than having an even line around the steak, you could see that the cook had negleted the meat on the grill (pink was not in the center).My dining companion ordered the Grilled Chicken. The entree arrived with a risotto and caprese salad. The risotto was quite tasty, but I do not know if it was intentional to have the exterior of it crispy. A sign that it was reheated in a skillet or left too long without stirring. Either way the grilled chicken entree was good. 7 people like this review - Recommend |
