Buttero

Long story short , I ordered take out . A simple dish of spaghetti and meatballs . The order gets to my home and the meat is raw. I just don’t quite understand how a simple meatball can be raw and when there is supposedly a professional chef in the kitchen . Will never order or recommend this restaurant to anyone. Also the front desk receptionist actually had the audacity to offer me another of the same order as if after sending me raw meat I’ll eat there again . Very unprofessional. This restaurant is the definition of overpriced very bad food . If I could give 0 stars I would !!!!

Unfortunately, the Google listing still mislabels Buttero as an Italian restaurant. That is 100%; this is now a pop-up Indonesian restaurant serving southeastern Asia cuisine. The atmosphere: It has a lovely courtyard section and a modern interior. It doesn’t quite fit the southeastern style, but it is lovely nonetheless. The staff: The servers were very nice and accommodating. They did a good job explaining the menu and helping other customers who thought it was Italian. I was not a big fan of how the food came all at once. There was no pacing to the meal, and some items came instantly while others took a long time. The food: The food was hit-and-miss. Some highlights were the lobster and corn dumplings and the fried rice. I could have done without the spring rolls.

GREAT PRICE FIX VALUE! all the food was excellently prepared. Scallops, tuna, shrimp, raviolli.

If you want a fancy location this is the place to go, however, I was disappointed on the flavor of the cuisine and the service provided. Our main course took over 25 minutes to arrive after we had already finished our appetizer (a $20 salad consisting of aurugula and nuts- not worth the price). Our drinks were ok, we had to send one back as it was just not what we expected (spicy margarita that was more sour than spicy) and even the bread wasn't great. I ordered the fettucini alfredo (pictured) and it hardly had any flavor and my husband's hot dish was cold.

No longer an Italian restaurant! We had eaten at this restaurant several several years ago, and we had made reservations to return. It was only after we were seated that we discovered the restaurant now serves Indonesian food. Although the menu was not what we had expected, the food was good, and the service and atmosphere are still excellent.

*review for the Wayan & Ma•dé Out East pop-up at Dopo Buttero* TLDR: Not safe for people with food allergies I have a serious allergy to avocados, which I communicated to the restaurant when making a reservation, to multiple staff when at the restaurant, and when ordering. They confirmed they could accommodate my food allergy. We ordered the tuna tartare, which does not have avocado listed on the menu. When it arrived, I thought the dish looked like it had avocado in it. I asked them if it was avocado, and they told me no, it was “sambal hijau” (which is what’s listed on the menu). Minutes later, they ran out and told me it actually was avocado – after I’d already eaten it. (By the way, sambal hijau is not traditionally made with avocado, so there’s no way I would have known it was an ingredient in the dish.) This was a completely preventable mistake that could have sent me to the hospital. While our meal was comped and the manager apologized and took responsibility for what happened, it is appalling that a restaurant run by the son of Jean Georges does not have better kitchen protocols, staff training, and team communication.

Ordered two pork chops - one came out extremely well (overcooked) and the other came out blue/rare on one side. Politely sent the second one back to get cooked a little more and didn’t see it again until all other guests at the table had finished their meal. When it did finally come back, it was extremely well done/leathery. Creamed spinach was so sweet you’d think they used whipped cream. $22 cocktails that should have been $18 at most.

If you are looking for a fine dining experience, this is not the place. The waitstaff lacked minimal knowledge regarding preparation of menu items, very poorly trained, not responsive to customers. We dined early in the evening, and the waitstaff looked as thought they slept in their shirts. Very unkempt-looking, and certainly unprofessional! Barely literate. The chairs are extremely uncomfortable and we couldn’t wait to leave, although we had to ask for the check three times. The food was nothing more than average for the Hamptons. Overall, quite disappointing.
