Where do I start? I came here about 5 years ago and it was a great experience. Wonderful burgers and steaks, great atmosphere and good service. I came...

Passable but overpriced food and underwhelming service. I came in a weeknight evening while it was not busy and sat at the bar. Was served a bottle of beer, reasonably tasty but uninspired beef tartare for $21, and a downright basic burger for $28 (I’ve had better for half that within blocks of this place). Server took quite a while to get around to taking my order, came around at odd times, while my mouth was full, in the middle of courses to ask “how was it?”. Atmosphere is fine with a few nice art pieces but nothing special aside from a prime location on tremont. Really couldn’t justify recommending this when it’s surrounded by some of the best restaurants in town.

Pretty rough honestly. Ambience is really cool but the food just isn’t, especially for the price point. Expecting a place called The Butcher Shop to have a good burger, we ordered the $28 burger (medium)… came out basically raw and each bun was thicker than the patty itself. Sub par. Also got the tagliatelle bolognese - solid but a little chewy and too hot like it’d been in the microwave. The couple next to us received a raw pork chop, which they obviously had to send back, which provided good entertainment.

I was really looking forward to taking my wife to The Butcher Shop again. Our first visit (sometime in 2004) was shortly after they had opened, and we had a wonderful experience. We recently moved back to the Boston area and I made reservations for Mother's Day. Let me begin with my praise for the staff that we interacted with, they were kind and wonderful. Sadly, to say that the food was disappointing would be an understatement. I ordered from the Mother's Day prix fixe menu and was looking forward to my prime rib eye. I have no idea what I was given but I can assure you it was not prime rib eye. I am old enough to have eaten my fair share of steaks (at some of the best steak houses around the world). My wife (the reason we were there in the first place) had an even worse experience. To summarize, The Butcher Shop may have once been a "can't miss" eatery, sadly, it is no such place any longer.

I went for Mother's Day. I had been in the past and I was looking forward to a delicious steak. I ordered the menu provided for Mother's Day which was the prime rib eye. The quality of the meat and the preparation was very disappointing. The steak seemed to be boiled rather than grilled. The taste was not of a rib eye. A restaurant of this standard should be ashamed. I definitely will not return. The staff was very nice, but a very disappointing meal.

We’ve eaten here many times and always try something new. We have never ever been disappointed. The staff is lovely too!

Literally the best Italian food I’ve ever had. The Tagliatelle Bolognese paired with a glass of the Haut Medoc Bordeaux was to die for! The service was impeccable and the food was absolutely amazing — well worth the price and would visit again!

WOW! We found this place on a random "local's guide to dining in Boston" and we were so thankful. The atmosphere was welcoming and the staff were very knowledgable about the menu, kind, and efficient. It was easy to make a reservation, even the same day. We enjoyed the bolognese and the roasted chicken dishes and were simply blown away. Each ingredient, down to to the cauliflower puree, was highlighted and enjoyable. The portions were quite large. They had a great wine selection as well! Would highly recommend this place to out of town people looking for a nice dining experience while in the city! Will definitely be dining there again if we come back to Boston!

Great wine selection and the hanger steak was absolutely perfect. However the staff seemed overwhelmed during our visit. I don’t think I will visit again but also didn’t have a bad time. The restaurant is cute and definitely worth a try!

The food was pretty good but not spectacular. It was also very pricey. I don’t mind spending a bit more on really high quality food, but this almost didn’t seem worth it to me. The staff was helpful and friendly but service was very slow. We were there for 2 full hours because the time between ordering and each course was just so long. The interior is cute but the seats aren’t very comfortable. It was an overall ok experience.
