I had such a great experience at Butterfish! The food was incredibly delicious and presented beautifully. I loved the truffle sashimi, yellowtail ceviche, salmon buratta, and the butterfish spoon appetizers! I also loved the grab rolls which were served with seaweed paper which allowed you to grab each piece. This was the most unique sushi experiences I've had! We finished our meal with delicious gelato flavors and a sorbet. Thank you so much to our incredible and lovely server Marilyn! Our service was excellent! She's the best. Special thanks to the manager Jojo who made us feel so welcome! I can't wait to come again and bring my family.

Been here a few times now and it’s always a vibe, but this time Ryan was our server and it was easily the best visit yet. He noticed we were celebrating and surprised us with a little something extra from the kitchen. Just a class act all around. Legend.

Butterfish is always a solid choice, but Ryan took it to the next level. Friendly, fast, and you can tell he actually cares if you’re enjoying everything. That kind of service is rare.

Ryan was the highlight of our night! He walked us through the menu like a pro and made us feel completely taken care of without being overbearing. The omakase was unreal, but it was his energy and attention to detail that made it a 10/10 experience. Ask for Ryan!

We had an incredible experience at Butterfish. The food is incredible. Very fresh fish and unique fish preparations that were amazing. The Premium omakase is very worth it. The service is incredible. The manager Jojo went above and beyond to accommodate us and make our experience special. The entire staff was incredibly nice. This is an all around amazing dining experience.

My daughter and I had an unforgettable experience at Butterfish today. From the moment we walked in, the hospitality was exceptional—especially from the General Manager, Jo Jo, whose warm and attentive presence truly elevated the entire visit.

As a longtime sushi lover, I can honestly say I’ve never had anything quite like this. Every bite was a revelation. For my daughter, it was her very first sushi experience—and I may have set the bar impossibly high. Once you've flown first class, it's hard to go back to coach.

The specialty mocktails were outstanding. Every dish we tried was handpicked and perfectly prepared - unlike anything we ever tasted: vibrant, fresh and bursting with flavor —we savored every bite. Capped off with gelato and sorbet that ended the meal perfectly.

From presentation to quality to creativity, Butterfish exceeded every expectation. We’re already looking forward to our next visit.
