Butterflied

Yes, Butterflied is a great choice for date night. Guests praise the warm, attentive service, well-priced Greek wine list, and beautifully presented dishes like octopus, butterflied shrimp and lamb chops that make for a special meal. The Midtown location (near Bryant Park and Broadway) and cozy, casual-dining vibe create an intimate yet relaxed evening. Consider dinner service for the full wine-and-shared-plates experience.

Portions feel satisfying and good for sharing, guests mention value for money and often order multiple sharing plates and appetizers. Several groups shared starters and mains (kefte sliders, pitakia, beet tartare) and left impressed, suggesting plates are generous enough to build a meal by sharing. For heartier appetites, mains like Skirt Steak Frites or Lamb & Beef Kebab are substantial on their own.

Family-friendly, yes. Guests celebrate birthdays and visit in groups, and the menu includes shareable plates plus kid-pleasing options like burgers and chicken with fries. Accessibility details (wheelchair access, specific seating accommodations) aren’t listed, so call ahead if you need confirmed accessible seating or special arrangements.

For the full atmosphere and wine pairing, dinner service is ideal, guests rave about evenings and it’s a convenient pre/post-Broadway spot. If you prefer a quieter visit, weekday lunch or an earlier dinner seating tends to be calmer. Reservations or an early seating are recommended for weekend nights or theatre evenings.

Butterflied has a warm, friendly, and casual atmosphere with an approachable, modern take on Greek dining. Guests describe attentive service, a cozy Midtown setting, and a small-restaurant feel that’s great for special dinners or relaxed meals. The focus on Greek wines and shareable plates adds a convivial, lively vibe.

Casual dress is the suggested attire. The restaurant markets itself as casual dining in Midtown, so comfortable smart-casual clothing is appropriate whether you’re coming for lunch, a pre-theatre dinner, or a celebratory evening.

Yes, Butterflied can accommodate special requests. A guest noted they asked via OpenTable and the staff decorated for a birthday and created a custom menu name, so the team is willing to help with celebrations and personalized touches. Call ahead to confirm availability and any fees or lead time needed.

Yes, families do dine here and guests have celebrated birthdays with children. The menu includes kid-friendly choices like burgers, chicken & fries, and shareable plates that work well for family meals. For younger children, consider an earlier seating and call ahead if you need high chairs or other accommodations.

Dinner service, especially evenings around Broadway showtimes, is likely the busiest, with lively crowds and wine-focused dining. Weekday lunch and early dinner seatings are typically quieter if you prefer a calmer visit. If you want a buzzy night out, aim for weekend evenings or typical theatre times.

It depends on your goals: pick a weekend evening for a lively, special-occasion vibe (dinner and wine), or a weekday lunch/early dinner for a quieter meal. Because it’s steps from Broadway, theatre nights are popular, reserve ahead if you plan to visit on show nights.
