Review Summary

Le Butterblume is described as bright and lively with a seasonal menu and a standout brunch that draws a crowd. Many reviews praise the use of high end ingredients, the beautiful presentation of dishes like ravioli and brioche, and the open kitchen with attentive service. There are remarks about portions varying, with some brunch portions being generous and others noting that certain dishes like gnocchi can feel heavy or that some smaller plates leave you wanting more. Prices are often described as high and sometimes not worth the value given the portion sizes, with some diners leaving satisfied and others disappointed. Noise level is frequently noted as high when the place is busy, though the atmosphere is described as warm and convivial with friendly staff. The brunch and seasonal ingredients receive many positive notes, with compliments on coffee, bread, and creative combinations, while a few critics feel certain flavors lack balance or fail to rise above home cooking. Overall, impressions range from solid to exceptional, highlighting strong service and a vibrant setting while acknowledging room for refinement in flavor balance and pricing.

Just had a light lunch of butternut squash soup & radicchio salad but it was delicious! Sitting at the bar was comfortable & much shorter of a wait than waiting for a table. Prices felt a little high but the food was good.

Great service & atmosphere, but the food was not worth the price. The menu looks interesting with cool flavor combinations but none of them actually turned out special at all. The eggplant tartine had bread that was too thick & large & covered the delicate flavors on top. The ravioli with chicken dashi soup didnt have a great texture & the main element that should have balanced it out (the dashi soup) didnt have any strong flavor & so the overall effect is a bad mix of textures without any standout flavors. The only thing we liked was the brioche, but even that wasnt all that impressive either. & the cocktails were similarly mediocre: the espresso martini was light brown with the taste of coffee barely present & was overall watered down. Overall an okay meal but wouldn't come again considering we ended up paying $115 for two meals, two cocktails, a brioche entree & the tip.

We visited this restaurant for lunch with family. The cheerful outside decor was welcoming. We were greeted & acknowledged fairly quickly. We had reservations but there was a bit of a wait. It was busy but it had a warm, lively & organic ambience. Everything went smoothly. Everything we ordered was quite fresh & delicious & the portion sizes were good. The kids had the French toast & loved it! We had the lentil soup & the Spanish tortilla along with drinks. Overall we were quite happy & the staff were friendly. Thank you! Merci!

Had a delightful lunch here! The mushroom soup with sourdough bread was fantastic-perfect for a chilly January day. The red wine short rib was incredibly tender with a deliciously crunchy crust-easily the best I've ever had. Fair warning: it's a very filling dish! We also tried the beet, fennel, & citrus toast, which was absolutely amazing. The service was great & incredibly attentive, making the experience even better. This is what happens when culinary skill meets fresh ingredients. Truly enjoyed the experience & will definitely be back!

This is a neighborhood GEM. I travel extensively & get to try lots of places. They do a nice job with wonderful flavor combinations. Had a delightful small lunch with the rhubarb & cheese, pea soup & carrot drink. The rhubarb jam is an absolutely memorable winner. I would recommend & will be back.
