Stopped in for an early and impromptu dinner with a friend who was having A Day. She had the tenderloin, I had the sea bass, and we split some mashed potatoes. The food was great and the drinks (Heather’s Heart for her, flight of whiskies for me) were tasty.Better than all of that, though? The service. Our server, Jonna, was attentive, thoughtful, knowledgeable, and sympathetic to my friend’s rough day, and honestly provided a spark of positivity to the evening. Grateful to her and the staff at Butcher’s Tale!

From the outstanding customer service to the dining experience, The Butcher's Tale was an exceptional venue for our private corporate event. Highly recommended!Vegetarian options: Our event coordinator was very easy to work with and ensured that the menu offered options for our attendees with special dietary requests.

I hosted a business dinner for 20 people. The Butcher's Tale staff treated us extremely well. The food was absolutely fantastic. Unique combinations. Masterfully, and beautifully presented. The atmosphere was fun, relaxing, warm. I could not have picked a better place. My guests congratulated me on the dinner - and in turn I congratulate the staff at The Butcher's Tale for their flawless hosting.

Excellent team dinner. 17 people all served great food with only a few glitches. Focus here is on grilled meats but the fish dishes were

The food and ambiance was great. I was not disappointed by those aspects. My main issue was two things. My wife and I don't drink, and after we politely declined, the waitress became extremely pushy on the rest of the menu, trying to upsell us on our main courses along with ordering extra sides (we had already ordered 2), salads, and deserts. It seemed like we were a waste of her time because we weren't ordering alcoholic beverages. We had spent around $285 for the evening, so it wasn't like we were only ordering the cheapest options. The other was a first for me, which I felt should have been disclosed prior to the bill coming, which was that there was a 5% surcharge on the entire bill. I have not seen this before and was confused as to why there was a surcharge.

We celebrated my son's birthday. Everything was the best. The charcuterie tray was delicious! We loved every item. The steaks were so tender and cooked perfectly. The hot Brussel sprouts were amazing. Cocktails were made with an expert hand. Music was soft and inviting and our waitstaff wonderful. Awesome experience!!

Great spot. I have been here a couple times. Think it is way overpriced for what you get.

When I made the reservation, I requested a booth in the bar area. This was a special night for our group and we wanted the ambiance of the venue. We were basically sat in the door way of the restaurant at a half booth/half table. The tables were very close together, there was no privacy and there was a constant presence of wind and the hosts seating people. Our party of 3 spent just under $1000 after the tip. The experience was a disappointment. We won't be returning.

Absolutely delicious. And our server was well informed and helpful. We were a business group of 8 and had a perfectly quaint, secluded table. Oh, excellent wine by the glass!
