Made reservations a month in advance asked for a quiet section of the restaurant for our year anniversary when we got there they wanted to place us outside on a noisy cold street and then I said what the heck so then they put us inside by a table where there was a huge family and it was extremely noisy with screaming kids so we ended up sitting at a bar having dinner there the food was mediocre. The expensive a la carte filet mignon came out super cold and wasn’t good at all and service was poor. Would not recommend it at all. Definitely way better steakhouses out there for sure!

We had the Tomahawk, it was outstanding. The chocolate lava cake however was not molten in the middle - either because that's just how they prepared it or because it was botched, not sure. Service, ambiance, noise level was perfect.

We made a reservation for 2 for 7:00pm Sunday night. We show up at 7 and they tell us they don't have any tables inside for us (which is what I selected when I made the reservation). They offer for us to sit outside on the street or at the bar. Really??? We chose the bar as it was a chilly night and the tables were literally on the street. The bartender was good and friendly. However, my husband ordered a filet and it was cold. That really shouldn't happen at a steakhouse. We were disappointed.

In my opinion it was over priced for the quality and taste of the food. We arrived for an early dinner around 4:30 and it was completely empty inside. The music playing wasn’t great but the music in the kitchen was blaring on and off and there was a lot of shouting which took away from the experience. Even though I wasn’t a fan of the food (under seasoned), the service was great. Very attentive wait staff.

We went for Thanksgiving and had their prefix meal. My family and I chose this restaurant because they had the most options as far as starters, main, and desert. Every other restaurant that day in the gaslamp quarter was only offering two per course. The price was also much lower. The food did not align with the price difference, it was excellent. We were seated right at our reservation time. The meals were hot. They did run out of pumpkin pie-but that was okay because we were able to choose any dessert from their entire menu and they had so many delicious options. I had the molten lava chocolate cake. My husband and daughter had the NY cheesecake. They allowed us to make substitutions for the items we didn’t like on the prefix (we swapped the sweet potato mash for whipped garlic mashed potatoes) and that was amazing! We definitely recommend The Butcher’s Cut.
