About Butcher and Banker NYC

Butcher and Banker NYC offers a unique dining experience in a stunning bank vault setting. The restaurant's beautiful decor, highlighted by the large open bank vault, creates an amazing underground atmosphere. Originally a bank vault inside The New Yorker Hotel, it was restored and reopened as a restaurant. The food, including the delectable wagyu steak special, rib-eye, New York Strip steak, filet mignon, and lamb chops, receives praise from customers for its outstanding quality. Many diners enjoy the complimentary bread with onion butter, noting it as some of the best they've had. Attentive servers consistently cater to diners' needs, and service is often fast and courteous. While the service is generally excellent, there have been occasional issues with dishes being overdone or requests being awkward, but staff are quick to fix concerns. Butcher and Banker has become a favorite for special occasions like anniversaries and birthdays, thanks to its skilled bartenders, fantastic cocktails, and exceptional cuisine. Many recommend the lobster mac & cheese and suggest saving room for dessert, particularly the apple tart, creme brulee, or homemade ice cream. Guests praise the flawless filet mignon, tender and perfectly cooked, as well as the expertly prepared Chilean sea bass. The atmosphere and food are highly appreciated, with some noting the experience of eating in a bank vault as fun and unique. The warm rolls, flavorful duck fat potatoes, and generous Caesar salad add to the meal's appeal. Friendly and attentive servers contribute to a pleasant evening, even if sitting in the vault can be a bit noisy at times. Overall, guests enjoy the cozy ambiance, great food, and service, though experiences can vary.

Great experience, attention to detail and very attentive staff made for a wonderful evening
Make sure to wear pants. They’ll let you in with ripped jeans if you’re rich. But regular people don’t pass muster. Steak was good. The employees work their butts off. I’d go elsewhere though.
Nice atmosphere and my table was cute. The food was great and I finished my entire plate.

Though, I asked if I could swap one vegetable side that came with my entree for another of the same price and my server gave me a flat “no”. There was no explanation and it was just awkward. However, I did end up getting what I had requested, and my server told me that “the chef was in a good mood”. But I wouldn’t bet on being able to always do that.
