Butter? Yes, that Butter. The Noho clubstaurant where you took a bottle of Belvedere to the face in 2007 has moved to midtown. It's not an underground hook up fest anymore, but the food is actually pretty good for a semi-formal but not too fancy meal.

Butter used to be a pretty fun restaurant/nightclub downtown. It’s since moved north, and is actually making some pretty good food now. Which is probably a pretty good metaphor for the person you’re about to eat with who needs to catch the 9:42 to Larchmont. The food is classic New American done pretty well, and will satisfy your “kind of fun business dinner” needs. If your dining companion makes it through dinner without talking about their property taxes, take a shot.
