Reviews for Butera's in Bay Shore, NY
So where do I begin? First, let me say my overall dining experience was good and the layout is quite nice. Now, this next part... is strictly based on my previous experiences elsewhere but I felt the service could be better. I always say “hey, this is myfirst time here” so I kind of expect suggestions on stuff or a rundown on specials or drinks, etc, etc When that doesn'thappen it feels kind of like a letdown but that's just me. My lunch order was Tuna Seared rare, sliced, sesame-crustedyellowfin tuna, eggplant, tomato, olives, potato, remoulade, crispy capellini garnish. My drink order was a Margarita. This wasmy first time ordering tuna seared rare so I was nervous but it was very delicious. I recommend dipping it in the sauce thatcomes with it for an even more flavorful adventure. I look forward to dining here again and trying something equallydelectable. Second visit 8/31/22 I dropped in to have an early birthday lunch and was happy with my food and service. Jackiewas my server and she was very professional and attentive to my needs. I ordered a Chardonnay from my California and Jackieanswered all my questions. My food order was Balsamic Glazed Salmon Medallions. Lentils, black beans, grape tomatoes, Moroccanspice, arugula, frisée, vinaigrette. To finish up I asked for Jackie's input on dessert and she recommended the brownie. I'mglad I listened to her suggestion as it was very delicious. Thank you Butera for the Brownie and a job well done. Read more
Beautiful bar and dining room. Intimate outdoor seating. Amazing service. The food was ok. Lots of choices. They will alter... dishes to your liking and I think that's great Read more
This was our first visit to Butera’s, but it won’t be our last. The food was sizable and delicious (I had a nice lunch sized... portion to take home), and the service was prompt and friendly. We were made to feel extra welcomed when Martin Butera came toour table to greet us. His professionalism and excellent standards were demonstrated in everyone we encountered. This is clearlya popular place, and because we had not made reservations we sat outside, but I enjoyed that very much. It was shady and cooledby a lovely breeze. Next time we will be sure to make advance reservations though, just in case. Read more
Great Italian food in Bay Shore. Great service, cute outdoor area. Locals that go for certain dishes. Here is one of my most... favorites: Veal pork parmigiana style. Hubby loves the tuna. Kiss to the chef, Christine & server James Read more
The first thing I noticed about Butera's is it's convenient location next to the public parking lot. Then when my friend and I... entered the staff was very friendly and attentive. Also, our and drinks came out surprisingly fast too! I was torn between twoitems and our waitress recommeded the baked gnocci. I'm so glad she did because it was absolutely delicious. Between that andour tasty drinks (I got the mango margarita and my friend got the lemonade) there was not a single complaint. She also ravedabout the orzo that came with her shrimp dish. The only complaint is I didn't leave room for dessert because trust me the platesare huge! I have to come back again to check the deserts out too and for more gnocci! Read more
Very good! Atmosphere was great. My husband had what he called the best pork chop ever and that’s saying a lot. Bringing more... friends back for the experience. Excellent Read more
Went to Butera's for a brunch. It was my first time here. Our waitress/server, Sam was very sweet, attentive, and helpful. I... have food allergies and always let the server know ahead of ordering. She said she would let the chef know about my allergy. Iappreciated that she wrote down my allergies instead of attempting to remember them after taking 7 other orders! I got thepenne vodka which was a little tangy, but good. I like that they had real parmesan cheese. The other members of my party had theEggs Benedict, pizza, chicken sandwich, and a burger. They were all delicious. They loved the tots! The ambience was nice andeven though it was a big room, we couldn't hear the people around us. I'll have to come back for dinner the next time I'mvisiting Long Island! Read more
