This is a restaurant you go to for an experience. Is the food phenomenal? Yes. Is the 1930s bank setting lush? Impeccably. Do the drinks impress? More than your hipster speakeasy. Are the servers trained professionals? As a dying art. Everyone should at some point know what it is to truly "dine." Butcher and Singer creates an environment that the patrons should aspire to meet. You can come in a jersey and sneakers, but that's like wearing your beer helmet to the opera. There are few opportunities anymore to have a complete dining evening. Enjoy this. Our meal can only be described as 'complete.' Adeptly crafted cocktails and a comprehensive yet accessible wine list set a stage for an indulgent menu. There aren't shocking new dishes, these are steaks and seafood done exceedingly well. I had the aged New York strip, with a bit of truffle butter on the side. The bit of truffle complimented the amazing earthy nuttiness of the aged steak. We had the mashed potatoes and Brussel sprouts as sides, but honestly any of them would be incredible. There are perhaps three places on the planet I would order something like a baked Alaska as a dessert, such an odd old timey dish. But my lord, I'm glad I ordered it here. Closed with a grappa to cut through the sensory overload from dinner, it brought the meal to a perfect close. Service is an under appreciated skill and aspect to dining, and warrants additional mention. This isn't a restaurant that hangs nice curtains and charges out the nose for the pretense. When you dine here you're really cared for, guided and advised if requested, empty dishes don't linger in your face, you're never looking around for someone, nor is there someone intrusively hovering in your space. After going to so many places that try, it is a treat to eat somewhere that actually delivers.

The food was magnificent. My Escargot had perfect texture but was missing 2 pieces and our server apologized and told the chef. The Crab Cocktail was a bit small for the price. Shrimp cocktail the shrimp were big and cooked perfectly. The staff were professional and very attentive. The french onion soup was excellent. Our steaks were top-notch but the Au pourve' sauce had no resemblance of the traditional flavors. The lobster tails were perfectly cooked. The stuffed hashbrowns were wonderful. Also there is no valet parking which is a concern in murder city. Can't wait to return!

Service was great, our server was very attentive but not overbearing. Typical old school steakhouse vibe, dark and bustling. Came here for my sister's graduation. I had the ribeye and the family had a sirloin, a couple filets, the twin lobster tails. Overall temps were cooked perfectly, but salt was a bit heavy handed on the steaks. Thought maybe it was just mine but all the steaks were on the salty side. A steakhouse is only as good as its sides and the sides were amazing. We ordered heavy for a party of 5. Creamed spinach, mac & cheese, stuffed hash brown, mushrooms all of it was amazing but my personal fav was the broccolini.

Ambience: 5/5 Customer Service: 5/5 Food: 5/5 Really enjoyed our experience here. Tried it for the first time for our Father's Day celebration. The staff was really welcoming and customer service was great. The food was really good and nothing felt heavy. We were happy and would recommend others to try it or go here to celebrate again.

Reminiscing on last year's dinner at Butcher & Singer as I contemplate spending another birthday in this fine establishment. My friend and I celebrated both our birthdays last year by sharing this incredible meal. First, our server was great. He shared all the specials and helped us make all of our selections - we appreciated his engagement and his knowledge of the menu. Espresso martinis (with tequila) were made perfectly. We started our meal with a wedge salad, the butcher salad, and tuna tartare. I could have licked the plate clean over the wedge salad! The butcher salad was more my friend's taste, but I was pleasantly surprised by it and would try it again. The tuna tartare was incredible - again, more something my friend was interested in.. but I love seafood and especially love trying things that I normally wouldn't order.. very glad we got the tartare!! For our steaks, we had the delmonico and porterhouse for one. We shared everything and I have no bad words. Cooked perfectly, amazing flavors, no sauce needed. For sides - yes, hash browns were delicious, but I was most surprised by the broccolini and corn. I don't normally love broccolini because it can be overly bitter.. it was done so well here and I would order it over and over again. I think the corn was a special, which is why we felt compelled to order.... Oh my freakin gosh.... It was beyond. I really hope the corn is a recurring summer special!! Drooling just thinking about it. For dessert, we had the baked Alaska and it was really unique in a wonderful way. We were sooo full already with a bag of leftovers, but this was the perfect finish to an incredible birthday dinner. Overall, highly recommend. I was thinking about visiting Barclay prime this year because I haven't been there in 15 years.... But man, I really loved Butcher & Singer!! The ambiance is more my vibe for sure. Might have to go back!

Looking for an elevated dining experience in Philly? Look no further than Butcher and Singer, arguably one of the most beautiful restaurants in the city from a structural and architectural standpoint, there's a reason it's been on just about every "best of" list. I had my first experience over the weekend for a special night out with one of my girlfriends, and was really impressed from start to finish. I screwed up and forgot to book a reservation, but we decided to just show up and try our luck at the bar. This worked in our favor as we got to enjoy the full Butcher and Singer experience from a table in their cocktail lounge space, which is full service and was actually completely open when we walked in on a Friday night at 6:56pm. These unreserved tables filled in quite quickly, and the only hiccup of the night was trying to get a server over to us after we grabbed our seats. I went back up to the host stand after we waited for about 10 minutes, then after that point we waited awhile longer for someone to come over with a menu. Not enough to dock a star, but I found it surprising for a place that should seemingly have very clear and polished FOH systems in place. After this though: pure perfection. We each ordered a French 75 from our server Ricky who was a complete rockstar all night long. He gave great suggestions and was super attentive for our whole meal. We then put in our order (we were splitting everything) which one could essentially title "The basic bitch's guide to ordering dinner at a steakhouse" + Caesar salad + NY strip steak + Creamed spinach + Mashed potatoes + Glasses of Côtes du Rhône and Chianti Everything really was perfectly executed, presented, and priced for the quality. You are not going to have a cheap night but you will leave FULL, tipsy, and happy. This amount of food was too much for two people, but I regret nothing and wish I could have tried one of their many tasty desserts. I will absolutely be back, even just to the bar before a night out to take in the gorgeous space and feel transported away from 15th street for a brief moment. Thank you B&S for the wonderful evening and hospitality!

Walking in here and you're immediately greeted with a wonderful dark and cozy ambiance reminiscent of the early half of the 20th century. Decor and music all match the theme, and the mural of dogs overlook all diners. The wine and spirit menu is very extensive, and the cocktails are premium. The sidecar was actually 10/10 blended and tasted exactly as it should. The biscuits served to start come with delicious honey butter and are quite tasty, warm, and flaky. Steak was cooked beautifully and was a high end chop. The blue cheese melted on top added great savory flavor to complement the steak. The sides were great as well. Nicely cooked sprouts and very buttery, creamy mashed potatoes. Do recommend the baked Alaska though it is very sugary! Quite an uncommon dessert and they do it well. Nice end to the meal. Overall a very tasty and memorable dinner. Thanks

As far as elegant restaurants go, this place has to be among the finest in Philly. The interior is very classy. I'm a huge fan of dim lighting and circular booths. The staff is top notch and on top of everything. The food in general is very good. Overall, this is an excellent choice for a special occasion. One thing that I did notice was that our server was slightly less engaged than others nearby. At the table behind ours, the server detailed the specials a bit better and provided more recommendations throughout the dinner. Our server was good, but the difference was noticeable. Escargot - I'm a big fan of escargot and these were great. Sizzling in butter and garlic, these went nicely onto the toasted bread. Very savory. I only wish there were more. Aged Strip Steak (Special) - The steak was good. However, at its price, I was a little let down. I probably would have been happier with the filet mignon. The aged strip was perfect in some areas, but a bit too charred in other areas. I like a nice crisp on my steak, but the charred flavoring really overpowered at times and distracted from an otherwise nice steak. I did not order a sauce to accompany given it was the chef's special, but I probably would have preferred it in this instance. Overall, the seasoning was spot on and the meat was incredibly tender. Stuffed Hash Brown - This was delicious. The exterior was crisp and well fried , while the interior was featured a light cheese sauce interwoven between the hash brown shreds. Nicely done -- very much recommend. Broccolini - Nicely seasoned and topped with garlic chips, the broccolini is a solid side. This was a good dish -- not much more to say. Chocolate Fudge Cake - It's as good as you can get. Absolutely delicious and large! I couldn't finish it all myself by the end of the night. If you like chocolate, I fully recommend this one. Biscuits - When your waiter comes back around asking if you would like more biscuits, DON'T be modest. These are literally the best biscuits I have ever had. I could eat them all day long. With the sweet cream butter, they are addictive. Perfectly flaky, easily pulled apart, fluffy, and buttery -- truly well done on these.

What a time. Reservation was easy to make (we had a part of 8). We celebrated our parents 50th wedding anniversary. The restaurant is 50s themed, dim lighting and old fashioned. The service is top tier. They bring biscuits w/ honey butter to the table and they were delicious (we asked for another basket full). I had the salmon Brussels sprouts and baked potato. All the sides are shareable. The potato comes with toppings on the sides. The food is amazing. It is flavorful, made to perfection and seasoned well. Everyone enjoyed their meals. Although pricey this is a must try.
