EaterOctober 28, 2013The brunch menu at this retro Tribeca restaurant includes a fancy patty melt, fried chicken, egg dishes, pancakes, and salads. The elaborate cocktails are also available during brunch.- Brad GaroonJune 18, 2015The Double Cheeseburger features two thin brisket-blend patties, lots of American cheese, ketchup, pickles, and a side of crisp fries. Next time, I'd splurge for dessert. Snickers Pudding? Yes please! Read more
Michael ChanAugust 8, 2014Great cocktail spot from Michael White's group. Nevertheless, food is very good and a great happy hour spot in Tribeca. Very good martinis as well.
Can RoyJune 18, 2014Wow - SALT galore here. Salt with a side of everything; however, the biscuit with honey butter was delicious. I'm so swollen, I may be stuck here over night.
Sundar ArganOctober 3, 2013Buttermilk Fried Chicken and a delicious side of slaw and a light flacks biscuit. The drinks are pretty amazing as well.
Tom AbrahamJuly 20, 2013Don't let the 60's vibe with pocket protectors and distract a very fun vibe. Cocktails are good but a bit rigid in construction. Chicken moist although over salted. Reuben bits are not to miss.
Krystal YuJune 27, 2013Amazing cocktails. The Boiler Maker is surprisingly delicious. Great fried chicken, and that biscuit that comes with it was...just wow.
Denise QuagliaSeptember 1, 2013Very exciting menu and all of the food we had (and saw) was delish. Still working out the service kinks, but the staff was lovely! Def a place to check out.
Drea SeguraJuly 19, 2014This is by far one of my favorite spots in the city. Lovely staff and great food, fun vibe and amazing drinks.
CBS New YorkJune 15, 2015They're serving a special Heaven Hill Whiskey Smash Cocktail and Reuben Croquettes during NYC Cocktail Week (July 13th through the 17th). Read more
JeffreyOctober 4, 2013Patty Melt - a somewhat novel American-on-top/Gruyere-on-the-bottom cheese situation, and a "white label" meat patty that delivers a steaky, dry-aged funk flavor.
Gary TorielloJuly 16, 2015Whiskey Smash Cocktail - Heaven Hill whiskey, simple syrup, lemon, fresh mint
Melissa RogersJune 7, 2014Creative cocktails by Eben Freeman and tasty iterations of classic favorite foods including CHEESE CURDS and Adam Platt-recommended fried chicken.

Jessica SJuly 7, 2014Service was perfect, and beyond accommodating. Also, you must try the crispy soft-boiled egg...delicious!
Nicole GreerJuly 19, 2013The ravioli is delicious! And the desserts are a must try - any of them. A great addition to the neighborhood- Joe DMarch 5, 2015Just get the Patty Melt and be done with it. (Also, if you're a deviled eggs guru, these aren't the most magnificent)
Bianca OrlandoAugust 30, 2013Retro-diner swanky decor, Great drinks by the former WD50 bartender and get the Reuben croquettes!
Leah HammerschlagJuly 20, 2015I might like the burger more than the patty melt... Fried chickens delicious. All winners
LaurenAugust 8, 2013The patty melt is nothing short of amazing. Also try the BLT salad with the breaded soft boiled eggs.
Zayed KhanSeptember 15, 2013Cocktail wise: the rusty nail is strong, but finely balanced and very smooth. Perfectly executed.
@JaumePrimeroDecember 7, 2013For those of you that work in West Soho (like me), perfect place to tie one on after work.
Marc CenedellaNovember 16, 2013The smoked Coke is unusual, unique to The Butterfly, and oddly delicious.- Wendy QiuJanuary 26, 2015Didn't love the drinks .. happy hour food was great - get deviled eggs , rueban arancini balls were really weird
Match ThisflyJuly 12, 2014It can get pretty loud. For some reason everyone clamors to sit at the bar even when tables are available. Great cocktail menu. Food was meh.
CJNJuly 31, 2013Lighting is ghoulish (cold LED vibes). Soundtrack was bad. (Alternative rock anthems!) Food and drink promising.
Do not leave without trying the bratwurst sliders and the little b. Seriously. Do. Not.
It's Wisconsin-themed, but you don't have to like Brett Favre or cheese.
