    Walked in late for our reservation, the staff kindly greeted and sat us, from the entry to our dessert the experience was one of the best I’ve had in the past 15 years of downtown dinning. The attention from the staff as group in the entire restaurant was truly a testament to the culture that has been created at the Arrogant Butcher. We look forward to our next experience. Happy Holiday’s! ABOMB the artist

    They changed the menu and we didn’t like it as much as we used to. Also, the waiter made us wait so long to get a drink and was really just lackluster and flatlined. Not super friendly or attentive but he did take a dish off the bill that we didn’t care for that was quite bland.

    Our server was amazing. The host stand was a 2/5. Not very pleasant and couldn’t be bothered but the server definitely made up for it as we were worried that the start of our experience at the front was setting the tone. Lucky us our server was a 10/10 and the food was delicious!
