the butler

amazing food. the portions were quite small however, when purchasing a large spread of food it comes to a very decent price considering location and quality. the service was a bit mediocre withstaffrushing customers a bit and not paying too much attention. #food

this place has one of the most beautiful views of the city at night! it's magic. great atmos, wallpaper,staffand cocktails. onya butler 👌👏

some of the best customer service i have ever had in australia. thestaffare so attentive and friendly, they were able to seat us on a saturday at the table we wanted without reservations, and were always there to refill our waters and pick up our empty plates. the food came was also exceptional! it came out so fast and was absolutely delicious. we ordered the empanadas and the vegan eggplants and both were incredible. will definitely be back to try some of their seafood dishes and cocktails.

i love the views of sydney from the butler. it’s the perfect spot for a long lunch. the food, which is quality, is designed to share and the waitingstaffare informative and attentive. and as a bonus it’s not too overly expensive given it’s in potts point. #thebutler

i dined here on a friday night with a friend. we pre-booked a table and were seated in the undercover inddor/outdoor area. it was severely storming that night but the area was well protected from the weather giving us a nice view of the city. we ordered a series of share plates both small, large, side dishes, one of the specials and dessert. we had the tuna tartare, duck liver pate (special), the lamb, roasted cauliflower and lemon panacotta with passionfruit. all the food was delicious and filling. the dishes are definitely designed to share and give you a great way to try a large portion of the menu. overall, i had a good experience at the butler. the waitstaffwere attentive and food was served promptly. they also had a nice selection of beer and wine available to pair with the meal. i would say that this would be somewhere to dine if you're looking for something a bit more fancy than "cheap and cheerful". for the five dishes and two drinks each, we paid $80 pp. i only managed to get a couple of photos as the area where we were sitting was quite dark!

5/5 decor, view and location
they get excellent view of sydney city 🌃 ~~~ no matter you just wanna grab a drink or have a decent meal with you bestie of your mr./mrs right, the butler is not bad choice! cozy yard seating with green plants 🌱, lovelystaffand warm heater let you stay longer and chat more~

2/5 food
i am really sorry to say we didn’t enjoy the food at all. the grilled octopus 🐙 is super salty and over cooked. after the first bite, cannot have one more piece.

hunter steak 🥩 lol.... ewww... ewwww..... sorry, maximum 3 our of 5. but i do love the baby carrot 🥕! lol

4/5 sweet corn 🌽 and chips ~~~
this one is not bad, suitable for sharing. grilled corn with shaved cheese. and mexican style corn chips.

3/5 barramundi
not bad, fresh but i won’t recommend if you are barramundi lover.

try at flying fish! barramundi at flying fish is best in sydney!

really nice restaurant, very packed on sat. friendlystaffand nice food, will go back~. the food is little bit small in portion and dessert is very generous

come to this place for the first time, such a great ambience for me to experience this. i sit outside with a beautiful scenery surround me. the staffs were really friendly and kind. they served me really well.

i order the lamb ribs and massive portion(1.2 kg). the meat was so tender and juicy, lots of flavour,perfectly seasoned & cooked to perfection. the meat was easily pulled from the ribs. you can imagine how good and full your tummy was!

the chips was good too. it was crispy and not to oily, the spicy mayo was exceptional. my faveeee!

the cocktail was nice too! recommended by thestaffas the cocktail of the day.

the chocolate dessert was good too. thick chocolate cake with cookies crumble on the bottom of the cake. the pecan eas crunchy, its not too sweet,just a perfect balance.however, there’s no wow factor,just an average taste..

overall,good food, good ambience,nice staffs. will come back again in the future!

it was a sunday night and not really busy. we started with the drinks, a mocktail and a special cocktail, which were really good. for starters, we ordered the cured salmon, i really enjoyed it, it was flavoursome, a bit sour, but fresh, a really nice way to start a meal. we also ordered the pork empanadas, it was kind of middle eastern flavour, not my type of food but it was still yum. then the cauliflower, probs my favorite dish of the night!!! i love the cauliflowers like roasted, full of flavour on the outside, but remains the sweetness of itself on the inside😍i just cant resist it😋but the wagyu for the main was a bit disappointed, no flavour, tender but not juicy, a bit dry. and because the wagyu skin itself is dry, the corn tortilla accompanied with it didnt lift the dish, made the dish even drier instead. however, the customer service was great! everyone made us feel welcoming, and one of thestafftook the price of the wagyu skin off for us because it wasnt very pleasant, so overall it was a pleasant night.

atmosphere - the restaurant looks well decorated. i was seated also outside as it was a lovely day and was able to enjoy the city view from my seat.

service - when seated, the waiter explained the menu on my table thoroughly and gave me a run down of what can be expected. although the drinks weren’t served promptly, thestaffcommunicated that to us and made sure we were occupied meanwhile.

drinks - only ordered a rose sangria and it was made well.

the butler is always very nice to go to, either for lunch or dinner. food is nice,staffare lovely and if the weather is nice, book/ask to be seated outside! during our lunch we were feeling hungry so think we chose some of the heavier dishes on the menu, i would recommend getting some of the fresher stuff like ceviche or salad as well lol.

you could almost walk past this place and not notice it. however, once you are in there you will see the great abundance of indoor plants decorating the whole place. the food is south american inspired and twisted with some modern surprises, and all ideal for sharing. thestaffwere also very friendly and had great humour.

popped in for drinks and what a find. it's like a tardis! unassuming little place from the outside, but it's huge. fabulous decor and ambience, friendlystaffand great cocktails. definitely be back here to sample the food.

what an exceptional venue, i enjoyed everything about my experience at the butler.staffare super friendly, really efficient, know the menu and make some cool recommendations. food is super tasty, as are the cocktails.i would definitely recommend this venue for a catch up between friends or date night.

discovered this restaurant when looking for nice views to dine at sydney. really friendlystaffwith food that has the value for money. i recommend getting the prawns and the organic red wine :)
