    If you have sensitivity to noise or light, go somewhere else. The fire alarm went off roughly 12 times during the hour I was there. No staff or management offered an explanation or even an acknowledgment. There was a bright white light from the fire alarm that continued blinking throughout the entire dinner. At the end of the meal, I asked to speak to a manager because this seemed pretty ridiculous for a high end restaurant. The manager couldn’t have been more cold and dismissive, saying there’s nothing she could do and that they’re working with the fire department. No apology, no empathy for our awful dining experience. Also, the person who was sitting at the table next to me said the same thing happened a month prior when he dined there, so this clearly wasn’t a one time thing.

    Food was overly plentiful, fresh and very tasteful. Wine list was pedestrian and somewhat overpriced. Service was solicitous and accomodating.

    We had an excellent dinner at Butera’s of Bay shore which has never disappointed us. Their dishes are consistent and very generous served with a bread basket of the freshest bread and garlic knots! The staff is friendly which makes the ambiance delightful. Note a prix fixe dinner Monday through Thursday is a bonus don’t miss it!!

    Great food and service. Way too loud as they need fabric or panels to absorb the sound.

    Always a huge fan but tonight’s dinner was pretty bad. I had a plate of sauce, chicken parm and the chicken was grilled. Penne instead of rigatoni. Everything was smothered in a thick paste of sauce. My daughter’s meatballs were uncooked and pure mush. The meal could not be eaten. They were pink.
