We had a pretty decent sized group, and the bartender was so polite and even remembered our names - that's talent! They offer a wide selection of draft and bottled beers, and they even have non-alcoholic options. It's a fun concept because although they have a small menu with food options, you can also bring your own food in as well (which was what we did to coincide with our theme for this months' book). But, next time, I'll definitely be checking out their apps. Loved this spot and I will certainly be back!

Hubs and I came for dinner with four friends a couple weeks back and though it was a splurge, I have no regrets. Everything I had was delicious. We had: Focaccia Roasted Carrots Wagyu strip Rhubarb Panna Cotta Pineapple Pavlova I also had a Freakin' Beacon mocktail. Everything was SO GOOD. That focaccia was like no other focaccia I'd ever had but was delicious; crisp on the outside, soft on the inside. The steak (med rare) was perfect to me, hubs thought it was a tiny bit too rare for him. It was super tender and easy to eat, perfect char. I couldn't eat the chimmichurri it came with as it has Thai basil (not usual in chimmichurri, but I'm allergic, and the server was very good about asking about allergies) but honestly, it didn't need it. That steak stood on its own. Both desserts were delicious, but to my surprise I think the pavlova was even better than the panna cotta (and I love panna cotta). The portions were very generous and I was pretty stuffed by the time I got home. Our portion of the bill was over $200 (hubs also had some cocktails and the steak alone was almost $90) but it was so good, we'll want to come back when we're in town for sure.

Plenty of parking in lot and on street. Seems like a fun place to have a drink at bar on a Polish music night. Special of the night was a lemon chicken. Tried that with a chicken parm and various pastas. Everything was cooked perfect. Chicken was crispy on outside and juicy on inside. It was good, just lacked that enhanced flavor. Can't pinpoint the note but needed more. One of party had the farmers cheese Peroigi which they liked. Bread and salad were average. Tried a limoncello and regular cannoli for dessert which were also average. Was happy with meal but I wouldn't need to seek this place out. I would say that you can tell everything was house made and was way less greasier than some Italian, which is a big plus.

I was a little hesitant after reading several reviews that mentioned poor customer service, but we decided to give it a try anyway. Thankfully, our experience was much different. Our server was excellent. She was attentive, patient, and even offered drink samples when we were unsure what to order. For appetizers, I ordered the pizza flight featuring the stuffed banana pepper, stinger, and chicken spinach pizzas. The stuffed banana pepper wasn't really my favorite, but the stinger was absolutely delicious. The chicken spinach was good as well. While everything was enjoyable, nothing really wowed me. I also tried the French onion soup, which was flavorful, though I wasn't a fan of the heavy amount of Parmesan cheese on top. A friend ordered the garlic Parmesan wings and found them to be dry and overcooked. She ended up asking for extra sauce to help with the flavor and texture. Overall, I'm glad I had the opportunity to experience the pizza flights and see what Butera's had to offer. The service was great and the food was decent, but it wasn't memorable enough to bring me back for another visit.
