Easy 5-stars. One of the top-5 meals and dining experiences I’ve had since I moved to west Michigan in 2022. Our server Marianne was kind, funny and attentive and Butch himself came around at the end of the meal to ask about our experience – a level of attention I wouldn’t expect after around 30-years of successful operation. We shared the scallop appetizer with broccolini and cream sauce as a starter which was amazing, followed by chili whitefish which was cooked to perfection- crisp and perfectly complimented with a little bit of sweet chili sauce. We also had the sweet corn risotto with fresh mushrooms. The garden salad was perfectly fresh and lightly dressed. Later we finished with espressos and dark chocolate mousse for dessert which was also amazing. Their wine list was amazingly procured with extremely reasonable price-points for the quality of both wine/food and experience. I can’t recommend it enough and as a first-time visitor, can’t wait to return!

A delicious dinner in downtown historic Holland. We did not have reservations, but we’re still seated promptly. Our server was friendly and attentive. The food was wonderfully delicious. We started with the curried pumpkin soup, it had a wonderful flavor. It was delicious. I had salmon that was prepared perfectly. We also had the filet mignon, which was equally delicious.
I would definitely eat here again the next time I’m in downtown Holland.

A really good restaurant. Great cocktails and wines during happy hour (4-6pm). Staff was great. I chatted with several locals and tourists during happy hour as I tried various wines and cocktails, and then got a table on the back patio with outdoor seating. Had the burger paired with a really nice Gamay. IMO the best place in town for a nice private dinner, or sitting inside at the bar. First time you go there it is a bit tricky finding the bathroom (but locals had funny stories about it).

Went here tonight for a work dinner and there were only 6 of us. The appetizers came out first and the cauliflower was amazing. The service in-between the dishes took quite a bit of time. The salad came out and I had the garden salad and took one bite and talk about no flavor what so ever I could not even eat anymore. I next ordered the filet and asked for it prepared rare. When it arrived it had a decent presentation on the plate but when I went to cut into it I felt like I was trying to cut through a tree branch and did not want anymore of that either. If you can’t cook a rare filet you don’t deserve to even be in a kitchen. Last but not least the chocolate mousse was ordered to go so when I got home I thought I would try a little taste and save the rest for tomorrow. This was a total disappointed as well. It tasted like fake chocolate box mousse with heavy whipping cream and a fresh raspberry on top. Another disappointing restaurant for Holland that I would not return to or recommend to others especially for the price.

First time visiting here, my girlfriend had a few glasses of wine, each glass was very much under poured, visibly comparable with other tables around. Server was not nice or friendly with us, seemed put out by each request. My steak was cooked well, but unseasoned, just charred. The garlic frites appetizer was frozen fries, and my girlfriend’s fish portion was minuscule, served over average fried rice. There is a lot of effort put into the ambiance which is notable, and the wine offerings are extensive and well-rounded. All my friends loved this place and recommended but I will not be returning.

I rarely write reviews but decided to today. I’ve been to Butch’s multiple times and will say this will be my last. Waitress was very snotty especially when I asked to put us on the list for the speakeasy so we can go after our dinner. Instead, she put us on the list after we got our bill which was then, over an hour wait. She also put appetizers on my bill when ordered by somebody else at our table before I even arrived. I decided just to pay for it without causing a scene. I did write it on the receipt that I never ordered this. I would expect more from a high-end restaurant such as Butch’s. I told my wife I’ll never go there again, she agreed 2/21/26

We went here for my birthday. It was a lovely place! But my partner and I had some feedback:
1. Old Fashioned: my partner ordered this. It was too strong. A lot of the sugar was sitting on the bottom and not mixed in. However the more he drank and swirled, it became more watered down and easier to drink.
2. Rib Eye Steak: 6/10 For the price, this missed the mark. The fat was not cooked enough and the meat was somewhat rubbery – may have been frozen. It needed more salt and pepper before cooking and I ended up rubbing the butter from our bread to help enhance the flavor. The house Demi did not do enough to make up for it unfortunately. Recommendation: Go to a steak house instead if you have a steak craving.
3. Sourdough Bread: it was really good! But salty (I know it says salt in the menu, but it was really salty). And it was not worth the price (you get like four pieces of bread for $10)
Now on to the positives!
1. The Dark and Stormy cocktail was really good as well as the glass of wine we ordered. They have many to choose from.
2. The chicken I ordered was really good! Very juicy. I just wish it came with a side.
3. The service was very good. We were directed to our seats right away and our server was very friendly and attentive.
4. I love the tulip wine glasses! They are very cute!
5. Espresso: Tasted freshly ground. Good flavor and not too acidic.
6. Fall Gelato: Seasonal. Best thing on the menu! Fall notes: cinnamon, gingerbread. Not overly sweet.
Bottom Line: Lovely place, worth a try. We would still come back, but will try different things!

Second time eating here. First time I had a pasta special which was good and my husband ordered the filet medium rare. It arrived over cooked and tough. We ate there again this week and both tried the filet to give them a second change. Same as before ordered it medium rare but it was medium to well, dry and tough to cut with a steak knife.

Food and wine were selection were excellent. Definitely a small plate place so don’t expect tons of food for your money but the quality was exceptional. The wine was also amazing as well as the drinks. My biggest gripe with Butch’s was the acoustics were way off. It was super loud in their and all the waiters are whispering so I can’t hear anything. Once the family with a bunch of kids left it was way better but it was really noticeable until then.

Very hit or miss. The restaurant itself was very nice, good ambiance, nice music. The seater was a sweetheart, the server was ok. The food was both good and bad. The crab dip was burnt on the edges and my scallops were raw but the burrata and beet salad was heavenly and Conor’s pork chop was perfection.
