Butchers Cut Bistro

"Like a previous reviewer, I am not inclined to give out five stars easily, especially to a restaurant. This one makes five stars feel inadequate. We so desperately needed a place like this in our area. It was hard to believe it was their second night open. We went with two dear friends to celebrate some birthdays. It’s a simple things that really mark a great restaurant, and in this one it was the pear salad; an absolute beautiful pairing of textures and flavors all dressed, absolutely perfectly. Everything we had was delicious and we tried a whole bunch of things. Cannot wait to see where they go with this. I was tempted to give a one star rating just to make sure we could still get a reservation when we wanted to, but I think that’s about to get really competitive!"

"Those who know me know I don’t give out 5 Stars casually. Really, 4 Stars is an excellent review from this food curmudgeon. Bennett and his staff most definitely deserve all five. We parked right across the street. Not too long out of the truck I commented “I wish I could take a picture of this aroma!” Truly mouth-watering. Someone was obviously smoking pastrami; and from across the street I knew what I was having for lunch! On the menu, it manifested as a Pastrami Reuben. An excellent sandwich, indeed. Grilled to perfection on tasty bread with just enough grease to let you know it was cooked properly. Yes, grease is a good thing here. I thoroughly enjoyed a bowl of French Onion soup. Lovely. The bread in it was excellently paired with the onions and cheese. Served in the classic FO soup bowl that makes it impossible to finish it all. I turned to chugging it late in the game. Hopefully no one was watching… I didn’t dive deep into the beer list. Honestly, I’m not sure it is deep enough TO dive. But, the Hell’s Lager I had was cold and crisp and in no way interfered w my lunch. Just as a lager should be. Our server, Heidi, was spot on. Treated us like family, sarcastic wit included. Everything was clean and orderly. Located in an antique home w Roma’s Butchery. Reviewed separately. I am trying to dream up an excuse for a quick return!"

"Excellent lunch menu, very nice deli case, great service, beer and cider on tap. Overall a lovely experience!"
