A great spot nestled in Potts Point. Gorgeous views of the city, recommend getting here around 6.30 to enjoy sunset dinner and cocktails. Staff are super friendly, and each dish was served promptly. Definitely check it out, particularly if you can get a terrace table right next to the garden.

The outdoors area has a lovely view of the city! The dishes are for sharing. Food was very good. The half order of lamb is generous and good for 2 or 3 persons to share. The heirloom tomatoes were very tasty too. The service is warm and friendly.

I’m here on a work trip for a few days, being from Melbourne I am quite the spoilt foodie. I was looking for the perfect spot for solo dining. If you are a solo traveller looking for the perfect spot with delicious food, a fine cocktail, lovely service and a beautiful view.. look no further than The Butler I really enjoyed the atmosphere and the beautiful decor, everything from the lighting to the menu design was immaculate. The attention to detail and consistency throughout the venue was very pleasing. I saw one of the waiters resetting a table cloth with an iron, I was like wow, that’s next level but I love it it. What I had to drink: 🍹I had the Mango Mezcal Tommy’s What I had to eat: 🍽️ I ordered the crispy calamari tostada and shaved squash toastada ! It is usually a minimum order of two serves for each type of tostadas I was lucky enough that my very kind waiter checked with the chef if she could do one each for me so I can try two different options That way I didn’t have to order four to try the two options I was keen on. And so grateful that they did this for me otherwise I would have struggled to finish them. I preferred the calamari toastada, the calamari was cut beautiful in bite size pieces, not oily or heavy. It was delicate and balanced nicely with the chile arbol lime mayo. 😍 Not to say the shaved squash wasn’t incredible, I am biased because I’m not a vegetarian. However as a former vegan/vego, if still was a vegetarian - I’d be blown away by the options on the menu and the shaved sqaush tostada was divine ! I could of stayed longer, the atmosphere was amazing, the view was gorgeous. I had to head off otherwise I would of ended up ordering one too many cocktails 😂 I’m really keen to visit again next time I’m in Sydney - thanks so much to the lovely waitstaff, bartenders and chefs!

A gorgeous restaurant with a gorgeous view of the city. I visited recently and went back 2 days later again as the food was just wow. The flavours of the tuna and the seaweed butter were the stands out for me but everything was super tasty. The staff were warm and welcome and I was never without a drink in my hand. Service was fantastic - Pam was an absolute delight taking care of us. Perfect spot for a date night and a great for a catch up with friends too! I will be back for sure ☺️

Thank you for bringing The Butler back to it's usual standard. Wait staff were amazing. Cocktails perfect and food delicious. The oysters fresh so fresh. The flat grilled snapper was to die for. Duck is a huge portion - couldn't finish it. If you order the ora salmon be sure to get the dressing onto it. Loved my experience.

I had my 40th birthday there for a group of 18 ladies. The care and time Roxy spent with me before the event and the level of service the whole table got on the day was incredible. I would 100% recommend the Butler as they were so lovely before during and after my special day! Dietary restrictions: They were very accomodating for all our dietary requirements! Nothing was too hard for them and they were just so lovely about it!

The Butler never disappoints! Beautiful food, staff, atmosphere and views. The staff can t do enough to facilitate a wonderful experience. If you re looking for a bottomless brunch venue, in particular, The Butler is unbeatable for value for money. The non-alcoholic cocktails are excellent if you re not drinking (which is hard to come by in Sydney). Thank you for hosting such a wonderful afternoon for me and my friends particularly Tom the GM who went above and beyond.

The restaurant has a very nice view of the Sydney skyline, especially if you can sit on the terrace. Thanks to radiant heaters, this can also be used in cool temperatures. The food and the mixed cocktails were great. The price-performance ratio is right here. The service was also attentive and helpful. I recommend making a reservation.

This was a difficult review, because the food and staff were absolutely fantastic, but the atmosphere was intolerable. The music was cranked up so loud that it was impossible for our small family group of five to have a conversation, other than with the person immediately next to you. The music ruined our night. I understand they are trying to create a vibe, but that does not justify nightclub levels of music. If youre under 40 and there are just 2 of you, its a great spot. If youre older or in a bigger group, avoid!!!

Beautiful restaurant in potts point with a very interesting variety of cocktails and food The sashimis are so good and the cocktails were delicious but the highlight was definitely the dessert which was the chocolate mousse one The decor is very refreshing and relaxing with garden vibes Good service too

Great view, friendly service but I cant recommend food - fish was oily, duck was dry and we felt sick after having lunch here. Also the music was so loud that we couldnt have a normal conversation as a couple. It used to be an amazing place with fantastic food some time ago. Its a shame that its not anymore.

November 23, 2024

This was, hands down, the worst restaurant experience I ve ever had. First, despite making a reservation, I was left waiting indefinitely while staff figured out where it was. Then, my boyfriend ordered a whiskey, not once but twice, and both times the glass was filthy and covered in dust absolutely disgusting. To make matters worse, the menu was completely misleading. We ordered king prawns expecting a substantial main course, only to receive a pathetic serving of just four prawns for a shocking $50, with absolutely no sides no salad, no rice, nothing. Just four sad prawns on a plate. It s beyond belief. I would never go back.

November 23, 2024

Incredible food and drinks with perfect service to match. This was our second visit in the last few months. Firstly, the Spicy Ex and the Mango Mezcal Tommys on the cocktail list have to be among the best Margaritas in the city. The new food menu is simply sensational; pan seared scallops and the achiote red rice were the standouts for us but everything we ate was faultless. The ambiance on the terrace was beautiful, and an amazing vibe out there even on a Tuesday night. But most of all, the friendly staff and service made this a legendary experience. Our server Hannah from the UK was a delight and the manager Jorja added some magical finishing touches to our night, like a sparkler on our dessert to celebrate my mums first visit to Sydney. Couldnt recommend this venue enough, especially when celebrating something special. Thank you, The Butler!

We came here for a special occasion and were drawn in by the terrace photos and it didn t disappoint! We visited on a relatively cold night, but the temperature was perfect. I regret not takingg any pictures of the food because the presentation was spot on. The staff were super friendly, and when our choice of wine wasn t available, they gave us a free cocktail instead nice touch! We felt the value for money was solid. We shared the Butler crudo to start, followed by the lamb, and finished with pannacotta and chocolate mousse. Every dish was delicious, and the portions were just right (the lamb was perfect for two to share). We ll definitely be back!

We thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere, and I appreciate the Butler team for making the birthday celebration special. The food was delicious, especially the fries, market fish tacos, and Red Achiote rice, which were bursting with flavor. The only dish that fell a bit short was the cheese empanadas, which could use a bit more flavor. We will definitely be visiting again. Dietary restrictions: They are open to modifications and can accommodate vegetarian and vegan dietary requirements. We loved the red achiote vegan rice.

Has lunch at The Butler yesterday, absolutely stunning spot, really nice decor with amazing views over the CBD. The food was excellent, very very good. The only reason the seduce was a 4 is because it was a little inattentive - not particularly friendly and had to ask for everything, from asking if we could order our mains to top ups of water. That said, the waitress who took over our table towards the end was fantastic! In the scheme of things not a biggie as the rest was outstanding, would absolutely recommend and will definitely go back.

The service was good. The host was nice. Drinks were good (I feel it is hard to get drinks wrong) Nice venue and view was great. I can imagine the atmosphere would be great when it is busy (we went early and it was quite). The food was very average in terms of price. Waygu steak 250g at 89 was nothing to rave about. I have had better pieces of steak at cheaper restaurants. Lobster gnocchi was ok but again, nothing to rave about. I just felt the food was average for how much it was. If you arent a fan of red meat or seafood there isnt much else in options. Perhaps a chicken or (I know its basic) or veg options that isnt just a side? Different strokes for different folks I guess.

Our family of five dined here, and unfortunately, we all ended up with food poisoning, which led to severe diarrhea and completely ruined our trip. The experience was awful, not only because of the subpar food but also due to the terrible service. It took 1 hour and 30 minutes just to get our main courses, and the dishes were far from worth the wait. Do yourself a favor and avoid this restaurant.

We had a lovely dinner here out on the terrace. Service when we arrived was fantastic but was a little sparse once seated. Great food - the oysters were very fresh, the duck carnitas were full of flavour and very tender. Fresh, large crispy tortilla chips and vibrant broccolini were great accompaniments. Beautifully toasted and empanadas filled with salty cheese. The food complemented the amazing view over the city. Good vibe - good space between tables and smaller groups on the terrace.

One of the fine Sydney gems tucked in the secretive yet very seductive spot of Potts Point. The atmosphere is perfect for a night out with your friends or an intimate eve with your partner. The service is excellent and the menu offers such indulging delicacies. Ask to be seated closer to the terrace edge for more wow effect when booking. Parking: Most of the street parking is 1P which is not enough to enjoy the full evening in this restaurant. Its best to opt for public transport.

Overall it was nice but I won t rush back because for groups they force you to do a set menu. I m vegetarian and to be honest the food I got for $79 just wasn t worth it for the price. The food was nice but not special enough for $79 and the cauliflower tacos had hard-ish cauliflower in them. For the price I don t think that kind of issue is ok. For the $79 I think all I got was: corn chips with bean dip, 3 slices of zucchini, 1 cauliflower taco and red rice. The service was nice and the staff were very friendly. I can t fault them at all. I didn t like the cocktails. They also didn t seem to have much alcohol in them. I d prefer more basic white girl cocktails TBH like something super sweet way more suit than the options available. Also one of the cocktails has a giant square ice cube in it so the glass is 80% ice cube, 20% liquid. Need to see more vegetarian options added to the menu to return. Something with protein (vegetarians need protein in our meals just like meat eaters.) maybe something with lentils or a chickpea curry? The ceiling fans turned on were annoying. It s cold. Even though they move slow they are very big so move cold air around. Vegetarian options: They don t have many vegetarian options here. If you re vegetarian and your friends are going - still go there is enough to get by though. On the set menu they bought me out nacho chips with 3 dallops of bean dip.

A truly special restaurant for a special occasion. The atmosphere was stunning, lots of greenery, and the city lights were beautiful even on a rainy night. We had the Butler Banquet and every dish was delicious. Our English waiter was great (although had he had a football team he followed, it would have made my husband s night!!) Highly recommended.

Hidden in Potts Point but such a gem of a restaurant with amazing staff, tequila, mezcal and extensive wine list not to mention an exquisite selection of tapas and main courses! Was in Sydney for 5 days and went to The Butler twice! Georgia and Max who served us were very friendly and extremely professional. ... and it has the best view of Sydney for a proper sundowner!

This restaurant has been on my bucket list for a few months, and I m glad we visited it for an early Sunday lunch. The venue was quiet at that time, so we got a nice table at The Terrace even without booking. Their service was great, the team explained the cocktails and dishes to us, served it fast and checked on us for feedback. The menu has good options, with nice dishes for sharing with groups as well. All fresh, and with a beautiful taste.

The oyster is too salty. Of all the oysters I had in Australia, it was the saltiest and disappointing. The tacos were very tasty, but the sea bass and eggplant were average - not as good as I remembered! The atmosphere is at its prettiest during the evening sunset, and the neighborhood below the stairs below the Butler store looks so unsafe that you need to be careful after sunset, so if possible, come to Kings Cross Station to visit!

Each dish was extremely tasty and the service was top notch and very attentive throughout our dinner!Not to mention the breathtaking Sydney view.

Upmarket eatery/brasserie in Sydneys Potts Point with rooftop dining offering views back towards Sydneys downtown. Platter-style and/or banquet dining offers an excellent quality menu which is definitely on the more expensive side. Cocktail selection is also top notch. Unfortunately visited on one of Sydneys hottest days in 4 years and even the oversized ceiling fans and roller shades could not compensate for the afternoon sun and hot westerly breeze blowing straight through the dining area. Parking: Highly recommended against battling street parking in Potts Point and Kings Cross. Take the train to Kings Cross and walk 5 minutes to the Butler Kid-friendliness: Not really a child-friendly venue

Food and service is at the standard expected in this place. Wasn t blown away but nothing bad to say either. Overall a really enjoyable meal and great summery atmosphere. Would highly recommend the lobster gnocchi ! Only disappointing thing is you have to have a minimum of 4 people for the set menu which looked delicious and took all the thinking work out of quite an expansive menu. The couple next to us wanted the sharing set menu too so I m guessing it s quite a common request so it d be great if the 4 person minimum could be reviewed!

The good; - the Regal Rhubarb and Pretty in Pisco cocktails were amazing. Give the bartender a payrise. The not so good; - we had to wait for some time to be greeted and seated as there was no one at the reception. - I specifically requested a table for two (was entertaining an important overseas guest) but was seated at a table for four despite two-seater tables were available. Our request to move to a smaller table was abruptly refused due to other bookings. - the service was poor and clumsy. The mains arrived before the starters were served. - other guests seated after us got their dishes in a timely manner where the wait for us was too long. When asked thr staff, we got the silent treatment. - the portion size of the gulf kingfish was disappointing, mere shavings of fish covered with cucumber. - the staff served us food we didnt order, apparently there was a mix up with another table. - biggest disappointment was the Lamb (which is why weve came to the Butler in the first place). It was such a small portion, dry and looked like leftovers from another serving. Considering other restaurants in the area (Apollo, Ezra etc), the quality of service and value for money was absent. This was my first visit to the Butler, and the experience was disappointing. I was embarrassed in front of my guest for bring him here. Will not come again. Thank you.
