⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Absolute Masterclass in Old Hollywood Glamour and Prime Dining If you are looking for the definitive "Power Dining" experience in Philadelphia, look no further than Butcher and Singer. From the moment you step into the soaring, Great Gatsby-esque dining room, you know you’re in for something special. Our recent meal was a choreographed symphony of classic flavors and impeccable technique. 🦪 The Cold & Warm Starters We began with a selection from the raw bar and traditional French appetizers. • Chilled Lobster & Shrimp Cocktails: The presentation on a bed of crushed ice was stunning. Both the lobster and the jumbo shrimp were exceptionally fresh, sweet, and firm, served with a cocktail sauce that had just the right amount of horseradish kick. • Escargot: These were swimming in a rich, herbaceous garlic butter that demanded to be soaked up by the accompanying crusty bread. A quintessential steakhouse classic done to perfection. 🥩 The Main Event: Steaks and Chops The kitchen’s ability to achieve a perfect char while maintaining a buttery, tender interior is unmatched. • The Signature Steaks: Whether you go for the classic cut or the Steak Oscar (topped with a generous portion of lump crabmeat and velvety Hollandaise), the quality of the beef is evident in every bite. The crust was seasoned beautifully, locking in all the juices. • Lamb Chops: For those looking beyond beef, the lamb chops were a revelation. They were thick, perfectly medium-rare, and possessed a deep, savory flavor that stood up to the heavy hitters on the menu. 🥦 The Essential Sides A steak is only as good as its companions, and the sides here are stars in their own right. • Creamed Spinach: This is the gold standard. It was rich, silky, and seasoned with a hint of nutmeg and garlic—easily some of the best in the city. • Garlic Broccolini: A much-needed pop of brightness and crunch. The sliced toasted garlic added a wonderful aromatic layer to the tender-crisp stalks. 🍰 The Grand Finale We couldn't leave without sampling the legendary dessert menu.
BEST steakhouse in Philly and maybe the country…..I’m not exaggerating. I’ve been here 25+ times and the food has never not been perfect. The biscuits are unbelievable and being from down South that’s right up my alley. The staff is AS GOOD AS IT GETS. Small menu and that’s a good thing because there’s nothing on the menu that isn’t amazing. If you visit Philly this is a must and you can’t beat the vibe in this building….tall ceilings, comfy seating, the music…all of it.
Me and some friends just had 2 dinners here a few weeks apart and all I can say is perfection. Everything was awesome the steaks were magnificent. A truly wonderful time was had by all. In the dozen times I had eaten there it’s one of the few restaurants is Philly that live up to the hype and is worth the price
Outstanding on beyond chandelier was beautiful. Dinner was taken right to us almost immediately after we ordered the service was exceptional, and the food was even tastier. I had an amazing time here the waitress even offered to take a picture of me and my fiancé I mean, I was blown away about how much attention to detail the servers and the interior designer put into this placevery clean. The bathrooms are beautiful and the people are upscale. Definitely a must visit destination if you’re in Philadelphia.
Had the best experience at Butcher and Singer, out for my husband’s birthday. The rolls were melt in your mouth delicious, I had the Chilean Sea Bass which was cooked to perfection! My Crab Cake was also extremely tasty, lump crab savored in every bite. Exceptional service and a birthday plate to finish off our evening. Priced for very special occasions for sure.
