Yummy!

The food is so yummy here and the lycee martini, I love! I also love the fact that they remember your name when you come back second time. Nice decor, especially upstairs. You just have to try!

Pros: Food, Decor, Service

Wow I had such a different VDay experience! Yes, there were a lot of people there on Valentine's Day, but I thought the service was excellent. The waitress would come and say "thanks for waiting!" when we literally waited for like 5…

Cons: not enough people go!

Decent Food, Terrible Service

by: MikeWGS at Citysearch

02/15/09

Well, it was Valentine's, so probably a bit busier than a usual night, but seriously. We sat and our order was taken right away. We ordered an appetizer, a few sushi rolls, a tapas sized filet, and some very small skewers. The appetizer…

Pros: Nice atmosphere
Cons: Terrible and inattentive service

I read all of the reviews before going in, but should have actually *looked* at the prices before ordering. I got a miso soup, 3 yellowtail rolls, an eel avocado roll, and 2 salmon avocado rolls, and finally a piece of toro sushi. My…

Pros: Great sushi! Lots of space to sit, as it's not busy at all!
Cons: Go broke for good fish.

My boyfriend & I went here on New Years Eve for a nice romantic dinner before going out for the night. We had such an amazing time. First of all we messed up our reservation time & got there almost an hour early but the hostess barely…

Pros: Great food, great staff, good drinks
Cons: a little too dark to read the menu (we used the candle on the table...) haha

I've been a regular at Butai for some time and it has always been an amazing blend of food, service and atmosphere. The robata dishes are excellent. I'd recommend the lamb chops as well as the short ribs. As for the sushi it is just as…

Really good food

by: mango_mama at Citysearch

The food was really good. The menu selection reminded me of Gyukaku, tho the food gets prepared in the kitchen. I didn't try the sushi so I have no opinion there, but all their robata selection was excellent and made for a good date.…

Pros: Great food! Quiet.
Cons: Slightly awkward seating

Horrible Experience

by: Toni K at Insider Pages

11/08/07

The food and drinks were good, but what should have been a quick meal took an hour and a half. The first round of drinks didn't arrive until after the appetizer. My husband's entree arrived about 10 minutes before mine, and my second drink…
