Madame Butterfly is one of my favorite restaurants in Savannah! Yes, it's a bit on the pricier side but if you're looking for a delicious meal this is hands down the place! Every meal that I've had has been perfect. Silly enough, I've never had their Korean BBQ. I order off the menu every time. The crispy wings are a must! The wedge salad, so delish. The mushroom soup, also amazing. Their steaks are phenomenal-- delicious without being heavily seasoned. But the brussels sprouts are the winner. A must order! If I don't order the steak I got with the beef stew, which has a hefty portion of chucks of beef and loaded with veggie. The serving size is enough for two people. read more

Really great and fun dining experience with friends. Unfortunately the service started extremely strong, but we lost Amber somewhere in the first 20 minutes, and it wasn't the same after. We had all of our raw dishes brought to the table and then no follow up with sauces and rice and we actually had to get up to find a manager to get served. They forgot our utensils for cooking too. Actually pretty bad. The service of neglecting actually began to piss us off. They have an automatic gratuity, which is unfortunate because they certainly dropped the ball last night. And they know it. The manager knew it. Amber knew it. They were busy so I'll give them that, but we really feel, as a party at six, that we were literally forgotten about. And there's way too many places to eat to have to endure that. If they're busy, I would move on.....if I were you. If they're slow, give them a try. read more

Absolutely great customer service from the time entered until we left. Our server Nikki was the absolite best. She kept our refills coming, checking in and explained the menu options. We visited on a Thursday evening and it was not overcrowded. They do accept reservations. We didnt have one but we're still seated immediately. Cute and cozy setting. Felt clean. You have the option to cook your meal at the table or oder from the kitchen. The orange blood martini was delicious! The truffle fries came out hot, crisped to perfection. I'm not a huge fan of mayonnaise, but they brought out a mayonnaise aoli with lemon flavor to dip the fries and it was amazing. Now, the entree. I wanted to love it. The noodles were like a rice noodle, thin and transparent looking. I wrapped a little on my fork like I do with sphaghetti. ...I almost choked because the noodles would not break when I tried to chew them. I then tried cutting the noodles with my fork and then with a knife. They were cooked well but they were hard to break down. I literally had to force my fork to cut them and could only take extremely small bites. The flavors were good but it was way too much WORK. I dont recommend this 1 dish but I would come back to try other options on the menu. read more

This was such a fun and memorable dining experience. We sat upstairs which felt a bit more private and added to the overall vibe. The service started off strong with a thorough explanation of the menu and what to expect, which made everything feel easy and approachable. All of the food was delicious and cooking everything ourselves made the whole experience interactive and different from a typical dinner. Once the dining room filled up, service slowed down a bit, but we still had a really good time overall. The only downside was having to go down three flights of stairs to get to the restroom. read more

Such a lovely birthday dinner here over the weekend. Seriously everything we ordered was delicious! We loved everything. Our service was great. The restaurant is decided into a lower and upper dining room. The lower dining room is for if you plan to order off the main menu. The upstairs dining room is if you plan to do the "Korean bbq" where you cook on a gas wok directly at your table! So fun! We opted for the upstairs dining room (make a reservation) for my birthday celebration. You are still able to order things off the main menu as well even if you plan to do the Korean bbq option. We tried their duck skewer and wings as an appetizer. Both were delicious! The duck was tender and savory. The wings were spicy and super unique! For dinner we did the Korean bbq where we cooked THE BEST wagyu filet mignon and fresh scallops on our personal table wok! This is such a fun date night. They give you a bunch of veggies and traditional Japanese sides to pair your meats with, including an array of homemade sauces - however, the meat/seafood was so good on its own we didn't even want to tamper the meat with the sauces! Cocktails were tasty too! You really can't go wrong with this place. Oh! And did I mention they gave me a delicious dessert for my birthday and sang happy birthday to me (: read more

I came here on a whim. I loved it so much I'm going back in a few days with an empty stomach so I can enjoy even more from this great Korean spot. I started with the mom's egg rolls (pork, mushrooms, carrots, noodles, chili lime sausage, and taro). They were crisp and delish. I hope this doesn't make a fool of me, but the ingredients tasted truly fresh, including the veggies. The carrots even had a little crunch to them! I had the bibimbap, made with marinated steak, egg, rice, gochujang sauce, pickled veggies, topped with a runny egg. A hot, savory, sexy dish that I am going to try again when I return. I had their fries too, which were hot and crispy and so well seasoned. They also have grilled meat skewers, Korean BBQ (brisket, short rib, NY strip, filet mignon, wagyu, etc), seafood (catch of the day, trout, scallops, lobster). They also have a great cocktail program. I had the toreador (don Julio tequila, apricot, fresh lime), blood orange martini (absolut peach, blood orange, cranberry, citrus), and the sazerac. All of the drinks were well made and worth the price and then some (13-18 dollars). Can't wait to try some more! They also have a Korean inspired section with cocktails that feature jasmine infused soju, barley, pear, coconut, lemongrass, ginger. Olivia was my server and she did a great job. read more

The restaurant is beautiful and located close to Riverstreet. Due to limited street parking, we arrived via uber. Reservations are highly suggested. The restaurant offers multiple dining experiences. We chose the main level and indulged in a few appetizers and drinks. The Caesar salad, fries, and bang bang shrimp were delicious. The drinks were okay but the customer service was a 10/10. Great location for a birthday dinner as they gave me complimentary bubbles and a shareable dessert! read more

Great Korean BBQ spot! We dined here on a Friday night & made a reservation. We were surprised how empty the restaurant was, but the weather was bad so we blamed it on that. We started with the madame bang shrimp, which was fantastic! My husband ordered the beef noodles & I got the bibimbap. Both were great! The meat on the bibimbap was marinated & so tender. My husband said his was really good & had a slight sweetness to it. We definitely want to come back & try the grill at your own table. Overall, great spot in city market. Service was good & restaurant was really cute & clean. read more

Start with the positives -- service was fantastic, our waitress was super helpful in explaining the menu/ordering and food came quickly. The building is super cute and the elevator between floors is very ADA compliant. I ordered off the steakhouse side (Filet Mignon & Brussel Sprouts) and both were pretty tasty but definitely soaked in butter/oil, to the point where I was sick to my stomach all night. If you typically eat clean, I would steer clear of the veggies and just do the steak. My friends did the Korean BBQ, they said the meats were great but the seasoning was odd for a Korean BBQ place (my friend is Korean) and the "house favorite" sauce tasted like ketchup. They gave it a 6.5/10 as compared to other places they've been in DC & Atlanta. Overall, would come back but would stick to the basics. The flavors for the steakhouse side of the menu were wonderful, just definitely not a healthy option. read more

Went in on a whim by myself and had a great experience. I ordered the Busan Korean BBQ and really enjoyed it. The sides that came with it were excellent, especially the kimchi, which was genuinely delicious. The cheese and corn appetizer was a standout, and the salad was a perfect portion. Even dining solo, the staff made it feel welcoming. Super friendly, attentive, and kind without being overbearing. I'd absolutely recommend it, whether you're going alone, meeting friends, or planning a date night. read more

11.2025, upstairs experience. Attended a birthday party there recently and wanted to share some feedback on the paying process. The receipts were per table, no concern there. My concern was the staffs inability to properly check the table out after we presented 3 cards. The waitress asked the 1st person what are you paying, they gave her a total and she ran their card for that, disregarding what they actually owed. Hope I'm making sense. She didn't not add their tax or their portion of the 25% pre added gratuity. Unsure if this is a systems issue or human error. By the time the 3rd person got their ticket, all the left over charges landed there and the 1st card holder had left. Would suggest running all cards together and returning with all recipes at once. Things got heated and I was very surprised at how the manager responded in the situation. read more

Fantastic service. Nice ambiance. And in the late afternoon, the outdoor seating was nice with shade and a lovely breeze. If you've been to Savannah, you know it can get quite hot and humid.. Tried the Sampler for Two and the Lamb Street skewers. Ordered the lamb medium rare and would definitely go for rare next time. Medium rare was a touch overdone. Overall the food flavors were great and the service excellent. read more

Overall I would recommend you check them out. read more

This is an excellent Asian influenced restaurant we dined at for dinner at the end of February 2025 on a Friday evening. First, make reservations. We attended our B&B wine hour by Forsyth Park and walked the several, beautiful blocks to Madame Butterfly. The feel of the restaurant is modern, while maintaining some pleasant antebellum Savannah feel. We were seated after a not unreasonable wait; thirty minutes, or so, as expected. We were seated at shared bench seating, which I generally loathe but were on the end, thankfully, and a comfortable distance from the not-loud party next to us. We tried a couple of appetizers which were very good; the Crab Rangoon Croquettes served with a spicy cabbage coleslaw, yumyum sauce and lemon. Also, the Calamari which was undoubtedly fresh caught and cooked perfectly. One person loved the Bibimbap (tender Korean influenced marinated steak, egg, rice, gochujang sauce and pickled vegetables). Another person loved the Grilled Salmon bowl and I loved the Steak stir fry. Everything was cooked perfectly and spiced very nicely! Lastly, our server was excellent; fully knowledgeable and attentive without hovering. The food was excellent, appropriate portions and decor very nice! read more

I was in the mood for some Asian food and a quick search resulted in an Asian fusion place called Madame Butterfly right near the City Market so I decided to check it out. Here's my take on the experience: Quality of food: Good. I tried the extra crispy Korean wings which were the crispiest most flavorful Korean wings I have ever had. The pork belly skewer, however, was the worst thing ever. I understand that the pork belly is supposed to be fatty but the fact that you could smell the fat and the skewer just looked a little gelatin-ey made it unappetizing for my palate. Décor: pretty modern. There is a really cool ambiance to the place with dim lighting and a beautiful bar area. Cleanliness: good. The bar area was being kept clean regularly. Service: good. The bartender was very friendly and answered all my questions. Price: reasonable. The skewer was around $11 and the wings were around $12. If you're in the City Market area of Savannah and are craving some good Asian fusion (skip the skewers) then checkout Madame Butterfly. read more

Hey Ya'll, Are you looking for a tasty delight for dinner tonight? Are you going to Savannah GA? Do you crave eating Seafood, Chicken, Steak or Vegan meals? Do you prefer an eclectic ambiance that has a keen fashion sense, a laid back atmosphere with a 100% out of 100% health score? Then we highly recommend you visit Madame Butterfly in Savannah GA because it is "OH, S O O GOOD!" Their Spicy Seafood Soup to start was just exhilarating as it tantalises your taste buds! Don't like it spicy? Ask Brandon, our outstanding Server (who was Personable, Experienced, Respectful, Friendly, Efficient, Considerate, and Timely, or PERFECT) to have their Chef dial it up or down between 1 and 5. As it is served at about a 3.7 on the Official Southern Spicy Scale from the menu. Please don't tell the Federal Government about our "Hicks from the Sticks" spicy scale, or they will add a new Department in Washington DC to regulate that too. Their Roasted Chicken with seasoned vegetables was delectable, very moist, with a pristine savory chili garlic glaze and poke sauce which I enjoyed to the very last bite! Their Trout with Crabmeat seasonal vegetables, turmeric lemon basil sauce was very suttely tasty as well, according to my beautiful and breathtaking enchantress with whom I had the pleasure of dining. Their Martini's were, I understand exquisitely crafted by their Mixologist as my enchantress had two. I enjoyed my glass of French Cotes-Du-Rhone wine very much with dinner. That's right, red wine with chicken. I..., I did it, and it felt good to be a Wild Thing as it made my heart sing! So if you want to feel fantastic because you and your date had an exceptional dining experience? Then saddle up Trigger, back the Combine out of the barn, or fill up your favorite four wheeler of choice with some of that Moonshine you been drinkin, and drive to Madame Butterfly at 110 W Congress Street in Savannah, GA. I am leaving you their telephone number (912) 999-8539 because the word is out, and this restaurant is on fire so you will need to make a reservation. The really bad news is this Family owns eleven more restaurants in Savannah GA as well, thanks Brandon! So next on our selection list is The Little Duck Dinner. Enjoy read more

We came here for our Anniversary and solely to try their Korean bbq. We booked a Korean bbq table and ordered the meat lovers feast which came with 4 banchan. Our server Amber was nice and attentive given she had a couple of big tables. She was super friendly. Please keep in mind that I'm reviewing only for the Korean bbq experience and nothing else. Everything else was good and would come back here again and try other things in the menu. Where it went downhill for me was when I asked if the kbbq came with rice and she said no. It's $4. She agreed that it should've came with rice. But $4 for a rice that didn't even fill a cup is outrageous. We've been to so many kbbq place and every single one of them came with rice. Second thing that threw us off was the meat seasoning or lack thereof. The meat that we ordered was just plain meat with no kind of seasoning or marinade. Granted dry seasoning in a little sauce cup came with the meat but the meat itself is not seasoned. It came with 3 sauces to dip your steaks in, one was the typical sesame oil with salt and black pepper, a typical lao sauce with fish sauce and some type of gochugang sauce for the third one. The meat once cooked even after seasoning it with the seasonings provided did not make the meat taste any better. Nothing in this experience made me think I was eating kbbq. Pretty disappointing. Would I come back here again? Probably not unless they season their meat a little better and give the rice for free. Also the banchans were ok. I don't think it's made by a real Korean that's all I'm gonna say about that. As long as you're not expecting a full kbbq or part kbbq experience then you can try out this place. They had other things on their menu. read more

This place is disrespectful to what Korean kbbq should be about. Not only is it over priced, but the quality is trash. My grill was dirty, the one they replaced it with was dirty, and no scissors to cut my meat. The sauces they provide are not Korean at all except the sesame oil/ salt and pepper combo. Ambiance and decor is great but the quality of the food is disappointing. Also, safety concern, their elevator hasn't been inspected in 4 years. I would not come here if you're looking for a Korean bbq experience. read more

The food was, uniquely different and very delicious. Emma was the most attentive server.But she did not hover. She allowed my wife and I to enjoy our experience. I had asked how long Madame Butterfly had been here. I was told over five years. I was surprised this establishment had escaped my appetite for new foods and experiences. On a scale of 1 to 10. A 20 two thumbs up Ambiance down stairs was great . We can not wait until next time, to go upstairs. read more

Came here to this place since we are already craving for some Asian food after a couple of days eating southern food. The ambiance of the place was nice and modern and we were greeted and seated promptly. To our surprise, we all liked the food that we ordered. We had calamari, bang shrimp, crab Rangoon croquettes. They were all equally good. For entrees, we pretty much shared all dishes since portions were big as well. We had Gangnam noodles, bibimbap, steak and stew, pad Thai papaya noodle salad and pork chop. To top it off, their cocktail dinners were all amazing. Definitely recommending this place for a nice dinner. read more

I came here with a group of girlfriends over the weekend wanting to do KBBQ after making a reservation for it on Open Table. Unfortunately we arrived and were told that those tables were not available at the time we chose even though that is specifically what our reservation was for. While this was a bummer, the server was incredibly kind about it and quickly found us a table to sit at. For my drink, I started with a blood orange martini. It had peach vodka, cranberry juice, fresh lime juice, and blood orange syrup in it and was the perfect sweetness. I would come back for this drink alone! Whew, it is so good. For my meal, I decided on the bibimbap bowl. It was loaded with veggies, steak, egg and rice. The flavor was out of this world and so rich. While pricey, I was able to eat this for a few meals as the portion was huge! Overall, this spot is worth your while. I would make sure to leave early if you have a reservation because parking can be quite difficult around that part of town. read more

I dined at this restaurant on a Saturday night, it has a nice ambiance, but the food falls quite short of a recommendation. I had what was supposed to be pan seared trout stuffed with crabmeat, it lacked any flavor whatsoever, the trout was overcooked and I couldn't taste the crabmeat at all. read more

I had the butterfly effect...whatever that means, but in a good way because I experienced the visuals, the tastes, the sounds, the textures, and the smells of Madame Butterfly. Mario was our server. He was extremely gracious and intuitive. First, the ambiance is impeccable. The Asian themed decor with the hand carved wood, the delicate floral details, the marble table tops, and the beautiful stone lit bar sets this restaurant in another dimension. I decided to do the main dining because I was drawn in from the other Yelpies who told me this was the best spot for lobster. I ordered the stuffed lobster with crab. For the table I also ordered the crispy wings and the sweet carrots. Since I was in a celebratory mood, I also ordered a cocktail. The lobster was cooked to perfection. It was not rubbery or tough. It was tender and it was a nice sized tail. The crab meat was the real lump meat that had no bread. This dish sat on a bed of vegetables ( carrots, bell peppers, onions, and green beans) that were also cooked to perfection. The flavors burst onto your palate like a bucket of Pop Rocks candy. The wings were crispy with hints of ginger, and a touch of sweet soy sauce. My mouth did not get bored with all of these flavors. The cocktail had a Korean liquor that I had not heard before, so I thought this would be a great way to be introduced to it. The cocktail looked like a perfect little glass of milk. It had a beautiful violet colored orchid sitting on top. What a lovely touch. Oh, did I mention the way Madame Butterfly pays attention to detail?! Those plates are like works of art in and of itself. Another nice touch about this restaurant is that it's just a vibe, period. The music in the background, the art on the walls, the amazing food---a vibe! I will tell you undoubtedly that this was one of the BEST meals that I have ever experienced in a long time. Now, let me be clear. You will need to open your wallet very wide in Madame Butterfly BUT it will be totally worth your while. I definitely will take some time to return for a trip to the bar. Thanks Madame Butterfly. read more

Really enjoyed our dinner here. Feel it's a little overpriced/nickel and dimey (rice is $4, bread $8) but still would go back. The best dish was the mushroom soup - definitely recommend. The crab rangoon balls were also nicely done. The bibimbap was good/spicey, but I probably wouldn't get that again. Would come back read more

The restaurant is beautiful inside and the staff was welcoming and attentive. The shrimp appetizer was delicious! The crab Rangoon croquettes didn't taste like traditional crab Rangoon, they had an earthy flavor, but my husband liked them. He also loved his beef stew entree and it was a big portion. I ordered a filet mignon, medium well, it came back pretty rare so they cooked it longer but it was still too red. I ate around it, however, found the steak bland without much flavor. For the price of the steak it was a little disappointing. read more

Service was exceptional. Kudos to Chad! Food was really good and the experience was memorable. I would recommend others come here for date night and special celebrations.

We live in Savannah, yet we had never been to Madame Butterfly. My family loves Asian, so we thought this would be a good place to try. Positives: Our server was super sweet and very helpful in describing the dining experience related to how the grilling process would work (you can choose to cook your own protein), although we did not go that route. The restaurant looks great, and it is in a great location. Negatives: Overall, food was just "OK". We ordered the filet and lamb skewers for our appetizer. I don't know if it was the marinade or the filet was old, but it was subpar for sure. If you have ever had meat that was well past its prime, you know what I mean. Both my kids love steak, yet no one really wanted the last couple of pieces. That speaks volumes, especially since it was a small portion. The Steak and Stew was pretty decent. The Gangnam Noodles were just OK. For $30, I expect something better than simply "OK". I would be disappointed if I made that at home. After everyone was very clearly done, we had to wait just over 15 minutes for the server to bring the check. Obviously this was not a big deal, so perhaps I should not have been annoyed, but I was. Sitting at an empty table is annoying when you're ready to go home. It wasn't a terrible experience by any stretch of the imagination, but we definitely won't go back, since there are so many other options. For Asian dining, The Vault is far superior. read more

Wow! Fantastic service, incredible food, great ambiance. My partner and I came here for a special date night and were so incredibly pleased. The food and cocktails were delicious.
