    I have been here in the past in the evening and it was such a wonderful experience that I thought I would try their brunch. Such an elegant atmosphere on the patio with top notch service from the staff. We had a phenomenal waitress named Sasha who made our experience amazing. She took lovely pictures of my daughter and I. The food was delicious and incredibly tasty. I highly recommend this stunning experience. Also, gratitude to the chef who provided a complimentary appetizer.

    Walked in late for our reservation, the staff kindly greeted and sat us, from the entry to our dessert the experience was one of the best I’ve had in the past 15 years of downtown dinning. The attention from the staff as group in the entire restaurant was truly a testament to the culture that has been created at the Arrogant Butcher. We look forward to our next experience. Happy Holiday’s! ABOMB the artist

    Such a festive outdoor setting with wonderful food and drinks. We started with drinks at Sidecar and then moved over to the beer garden tables outside for dinner. It was great for our larger group of 7. We love the whole experience.
