Brooklyn and The Butcher

This is a place I have overlooked for a while, and wow I am glad I had a chance to try. There is a good chance this might be the best dining experience in Clark-Floyd county, at least it's the best one I have been to.Talking about the food, this is a nicer restaurant, so all the dishes are at least 20-30 dollars. But, I have a feeling you won't be disappointed. They have a lot of red meat dishes here which I do not like, so I went for the salmon. This might have been the best salmon dish I've ever had, even beating out places that specialize in seafood that I've had previously. Everyone at my table was also satisfied with their entrees. We had some desert as well, getting bread pudding and some chocolate cake. The bread pudding was the stand out here. It's topped in this bourbon Carmel sauce that is truly amazing. One of the better desert dishes I've had. The service here is impeccable. They also acknowledged my fiancés birthday so that was nice of them. Overall, this place is great. I'd like to come back here for a special occasion in the future.

We went here a few weeks ago for my birthday and had a great time! It was a great dining experience. Three of us got steaks and a side. I saw a few reviews saying the steaks were undercooked compared to the way they were ordered. I could definitely see this, however it was fine with the steaks we ordered. Another person in our group got the salmon and said it was good, but the portion was small. The sides were all super good. I loved the brussel sprouts!! We ordered dessert and it was all so good! They even brought everyone a chocolate covered strawberry for my birthday. Our server was great and very nice. She definitely gave us an appropriate amount of time and was very helpful. The vibe of the restaurant is a little interesting. It doesn't really match the menu but no big deal!

I was so hopeful but it just didn't deliver. My husband and I drove over an hour for our date night. We showed up early so we accepted a seat in the bar instead of the dining room, which turned out to be a good thing due to the amount of kiddos in the dr! Love kids, just not that night! We were looking forward to the live music posted on their website but were told it's only on the patio during warmer days, so no music.The bartender was our server and seemed annoyed that we were there. My hubs ordered a steak and broccoli, I ordered a wedge salad and lobster bisque as well as the "thyme cocktail ". The cocktail was OVERWHELMINGLY thyme. Like whoa!!!! Nearly undrinkable, so I switched to wine. My husband was underwhelmed with the steak given the price, yet overwhelmed with the side of broccoli as it could've fed 4 people!!!!! The lobster bisque hit the spot for sure but I was disappointed that the wedge salad had bagged bacon bits on it and not fresh bacon, especially given the price point.The kicker was when the server dropped the dessert menu at the table, and said, I'm obligated to give you this!"..... interesting. When we hollered at him that we would like to take the bread pudding to go, he looked at us surprisingly, and said, "oh! It worked!"...We ate the bread pudding when we got home and it was delish!!!Also noticed a gentleman that came to sit at bar while we were there and asked to have channel on tv changed. Visibly annoyed, the bartender went to ask the hostess to change it. The man was never asked what he wanted to drink, and I noticed shortly after, he was gone. I assume he left. Poor guy!!Wanted to love it, especially given the drive, but it just turned into an expensive night out with nothing in return except for the bread pudding in bed!!

Me and my wife had a 730 reservation for a late Valentine's Day dinner. Got a text at 710 that our table was ready a little early! Arrived to a very friendly staff! Walking in a notice a low lit atmosphere that was friendly but classy. I got the prime ribeye and baked potato with Mac and cheese! Food was over the top tasty! One of the. Best steaks I've ever had! Will definitely be back!

Great service, fantastic food, and a cool atmosphere, we will definitely be going back.

Brooklyn and the Butcher never disappoints. We were there with a couple who had never been, and I loved being able to experience the first time through them all over again. The charcuterie was out of this world! The craft cocktails are one of my favorite offerings of the menu / always fresh and innovative. The service was 5 stars! Our waitress was so genuine and engaging. The filet was not the best we have had there, and fondant potatos were not cooked all the way through...however? These things will NOT keep us from coming back! We enjoyed the filet with scallops, and the charred octopus - so good. We will be back!!

Had a great experience at Brooklyn! This was my first time in and the food was delicious. We had reservations for 3 on a Saturday night at 6:00pm to celebrate a friend's birthday. When we arrived we waited about 5 or so minutes to be seated. The restaurant itself was very pretty and clean. Our server was very nice and helpful. He went over a few drink options as well as the night's specials. I really appreciated how knowledgeable he was of the menu. We decided we would each get our own entree and share a few items off of the "sharables" menu. I highly recommend the brussel sprouts- the portion is large and they were delicious.After dinner we decided to get a dessert to split. Our server recommended the Vanilla Bean Panna Cotta so we gladly said yes to that. At that point the restaurant was full and it took about 20 minutes for us to get the dessert. We were chatting so we didn't notice how long it was taking so towards the end we asked if we could cancel the dessert. Luckily, the dessert was making its way to us. If you have a chance, I highly recommend the Panna Cotta. It was flavorful, light, and was a great dish to end the evening.

Those that read my reviews regularly know that I look for value in my meals. Tl:Dr the value is lacking.We came to celebrate a one year anniversary. We had some $$ to spend after the holiday season and thought we would treat ourselves to something special. It was truly a once in a lifetime evening.We arrived and were promptly greeted and seated. There was a note from the owners on our table thanking us for choosing to celebrate with them. While cute and thoughtful, it was unnecessary as it took up table space.The restaurant is dimly lit with grey walls and black and white themes. A true fine dining atmosphere but not my style.We started with the lamb meatballs, yule shoot yer eye out, and an espresso martini (not pictured). The lamb meatballs and the labna are 10/10. Honestly, the meatballs are not needed. The labna was amazing. Strong notes of sesame paste, likely tahini, and citrus forward with a subtle sweetness from the pomegranate. This was the highlight of my night. The yule drink was not as good. A sweet wine tasting version of a cosmo. The wine really drowned out the vodka/Cran. The martini was really good. It was well balanced and could be dangerous.We then split the lobster bisque and steakhouse salad. This second/third course was very pleasing as well. The split portion was plenty for 2 people and we really enjoyed the bisque. Again, it was well balanced between the lobster flavor and tomato. The salad was a salad. The ranch had a homemade flair. We didn't confirm, but it was a good ranch.The main event was the American wagyu and the filet. I was excited to, for the first time, try wagyu and compare it to a filet. The wagyu lived up to the hype. It was melt in your mouth amazing. Unfortunately, it made the filet taste mediocre in comparison. Both steaks were cooked appropriately. I have my gripes but it's a me thing, not a restaurant thing.Finally we come to the real disappointment of the night. The asparagus and the Mac and cheese were not good. They were just there. Bland and lifeless.There are definitely better steakhouses in the area, but you will likely enjoy this one.

Very nice surprise, this place was great! If I am ever back in the area I will dine here

Brooklyn and The Butcher proved to be a fantastic dining experience. The restaurant is gorgeous and has a fantastic menu. The hostesses and server were friendly and knowledgeable.The only thing I hate about solo dining is that I can't order everything I want. I had to pare down my original intent to just the sirloin baseball cut, mac and cheese, and chocolate hazelnut cake. Everything was delicious. My steak was cooked just the way I liked it and it was great, though I could've gone for the zhug addition. Mac and cheese was super cheesy and flavorful. Bread was good. I loved my dessert, but couldn't finish it. My drink, the Isn't Shiso Lovely?, had gin, shiso, and glitter, three of my favorite things, plus it was purple, which is my color. And it was light but strong.I truly had an exceptional experience here and highly recommend Brooklyn and the Butcher. I'd return in a heartbeat if in the area again.
