We were completely satisfied with this restaurant. Very good food, pefectly cooked. Quick service, nice atmosphere.

Given the price tag I expected a lot more from our dining experience. The food was very good but at €30 for a fillet steak, with no side included, you would expect nothing less. I had a starter of parfait which is probably the nicest...I’ve ever eaten. A lot of positives here but unfortunately many negatives also. We were greeted by a rather unfriendly blonde hostess. The service we experienced was very hit and miss. We waited a half hour between starters and main courses with no explanation. When an issue with the bill was queried our blonde hostess went from unfriendly to extremely rude very quickly. I was actually shocked by the tone she took with me and it turned what should have been a pleasant dining experience into one that I would not repeat nor recommend to others. I couldn’t fault the kitchen and of course the food is fundamental to the success of any restaurant however the service is just as important. This restaurant is let down majorly by believing its own hype and providing sub par levels of service. An extremely overpriced dining experience with service that didn’t match the price tag.More

Best steak we had in Ireland, very recommended. Located in the city center is the perfect restaurant where you can go to have a walk before or after dinner.

Absolutely beautiful meal in such a buzzy atmosphere. The staff at Butcher couldn’t have been nicer, our steaks were cooked so beautifully. All of our sides were so delicious and the lemon posset we had for dessert was so fresh and had a beautiful consistency....Would definitely eat here if you’re in Kilkenny!More

Recently had dinner here for my mams birthday. The food was incredible. Everyone who ordered steak had theirs cooked a different way and they were all perfect. The starters and sides were also really nice. The staff were really helpful and friendly from the minute...we arrived at the door, especially to our 2 year old. They brought out pages and crayons to colour while we waited for food. Can't wait to get backMore

Second visit last weekend. Love the vibe and our waiter was lovely as are all the staff. I was disappointed with my food this time, it was all very salty and my steak was over cooked. Steak knives also need a good sharpening. I loved...everything on my first visit so will try again and hope it’s back to the high standards I expected.More

Beautiful restaurant Steaks are unbelievable and the daily dessert menu is unreal . Never had a dessert I didn't love

Went to the Butcher on a very busy Saturday night. A great atmosphere and welcome to the restaurant. Steaks were excellent, as was the service. Despite restaurant being full we weren't waiting very long for our meals. We all had different steaks and they were...all cooked to perfection. Will definetely be back. Booking definetely advised for peak times.More

Excellent food, brillant selection amazing friendly staff and atmosphere. Would eat here again!

I quite liked our meal at Butcher’s. We ordered a steak and the catch of the day (salmon). The food was superb. The service was OK. Seemed very slow towards the end of the dinner. Took us about 20 minutes to find someone to give...us the check. Regardless the food made up for it, would recommendMore

We booked a table for 915 on a busy Saturday but got seated at 9. We enjoyed cocktails and then had an excellent meal. The cod was very tasty and my husband appreciated his cowboy steak. Staff are very attentive.

We didn’t have a reservation but they kindly squeezed us in. Everything was excellent, from cocktails to meals. The steak was one of the best we had ever had.
