We had a wonderful Saturday evening dinner at Butcher and Singer while celebrating the day before Father’s Day. It was myself, my husband, and our two boys, ages 10 and 13, and all four of us thoroughly enjoyed the experience. What stood out most to me was how attentive and accommodating the staff was with my dietary needs. I am gluten and dairy free, and I only eat seafood occasionally, so dining out can sometimes feel limiting. Here, it felt easy. The staff was very knowledgeable and ready to modify sides as needed. They even adjusted the mushrooms and onions, which originally had a sauce containing gluten, and the modified version was absolutely delicious. I started with the lobster cocktail, which was incredibly fresh. For my entree, I had the salmon, which was one of the more reasonably priced dishes on the menu and cooked perfectly. I also added three scallops, a lovely upgrade that made the dish feel extra special. The service throughout the evening was excellent. The restaurant was very crowded, but we never felt rushed. When our original seating in the deep bucket seats didn’t work well for our 10-year-old, the staff accommodated us right away and moved us to a table in the middle, which made the evening much more comfortable. My husband and one of our boys also split the Baked Alaska, one of the desserts Butcher and Singer is known for, and they said it was the perfect end to their meal. It was definitely shareable and made for a fun finale. One thing to know before going: it is a loud, lively atmosphere, so be prepared to speak up. The good news is, everyone else is doing the same, so it fits the energy of the room. Overall, this was a memorable meal with thoughtful service, excellent food, and real care taken around dietary restrictions. We would happily return.
