Not one for taking photos of the food, but each dish was beautiful. But not just beautiful, they were presented by the floor staff and chefs also, explained in the most thoughtful way and also offered to suggest appropriate wines along the way. Waves of...snacks, wonderful bread, and then a progression of the most beautiful dishes. We couldn’t fault this evening, and would recommend the experienceMore

That was such a wonderful way to spend an evening! Strongly recommended the Classic Wine Pairing and also the Non-Alcoholic Pairing with 6-course Evolution, the taste combination bringing us so much fun and surprising us!

From the Minute we walked in we were enveloped into the atmosphere of this Stunning Restaurant We had chosen the 7 course Experience and every Course exceeded our expectations in taste & presentation The service was amazing with the lovely touch of the Head Chef...Zennon serving us some courses I enjoyed having the Courses explained to us & although we are not wine drinkers I was very impressed with the Young man's wealth of knowledge on the wines he was serving to other patrons (Ben I believe his name is) Lamb was on the menu that night but by choice we were able to have the Duck instead WOW this was the Stand out for both of us,that alone would have been a credit to the Team @ Paris Butter We traveled from Canterbury to enjoy this Restaurant & will certainly return soon Thank You & Well Done to the Staff at Paris ButterMore

Fabulous atmosphere, the chef(s) did an amazing job of the 7 course set menu (including modifying for dietary reasons), and our waiter was superb, with perfect wine suggestions.

Food was excellent as always and great service from our waitress. We were a group of six celebrating my daughter's birthday party. Surprising dampener was being told it would cost $15 per person to serve a small birthday cake we'd bought with us ie $90!...Having already spent $1240 we declined and enjoyed the cake with more wine at home. I am a local who strongly supports local restaurants, this was a bad call.More
