We celebrated our anniversary at Butcher and Singer, and while there were some wonderful highlights, there were also a few missed opportunities. First, Andrew, the maître d’, was absolutely outstanding! He truly made the experience special from the moment we arrived. His hospitality and attention to guests were exceptional. We started with drinks at the bar, which were delicious! The bartender was incredibly efficient and clearly skilled at her craft, but there was very little guest engagement. Hardly two words were spoken to anyone at the bar. A simple smile, a little conversation, or even a warm acknowledgment can make such a difference in the overall experience. Definitely a missed opportunity. Dinner had some great moments. The biscuits were delicious, and the petite filets were seasoned perfectly. However, I could see one of our steaks sitting in the expo window for quite some time. While it was cooked perfectly, it unfortunately wasn't very hot when it arrived. My husband's baked potato was cooked perfectly, but my filet was significantly undercooked, and my baked potato wasn't cooked all the way through. And the corn? Absolutely outstanding! As someone who appreciates great hospitality, I notice the little things that can take an experience from good to exceptional. Andrew certainly delivered that level of service, and we appreciated him tremendously. Overall, we enjoyed celebrating our anniversary at Butcher and Singer. There were some wonderful elements to the evening, but a bit more attention to consistency in the kitchen and guest engagement at the bar would have made the experience truly memorable.
