Butcher & Singer, in the amazing historic location of 1500 Walnut, is an intimate and sophisticated dining experience in a relaxed clubhouse setting. We brought back the true classics from perfect Manhattans and Sidecars to hand-cut steaks and chops, and freshly caught fish. Timeless and fun for all in the continued age of the American chophouse.

    Everything was fantastic. Lunch specials were great - but we ordered a cup (not a bowl) of French onion soup and it was $16 for a cup. Extremely pricey for a cup of soup.

    We had a great experience overall. While my wife’s food was cold in the middle, the staff handled the situation promptly and professionally, which we appreciated. One standout moment was their attention to detail. I had noted on the OpenTable app that it was her birthday, and they not only read the note but acknowledged her special day without me having to say a word to the staff. That personal touch made the experience memorable. Despite the small hiccup, we would definitely recommend this place, especially for special occasions.

    This was our first dining experience in Estia and the restaurant did no disappoint! The service, food and ambience during our Dec. 24, 2024 dinner were all one could hope for. Our party of four went for the $40.00 pre-theater menu, which had a generous selection of the restaurant's dishes. Our starters---lamb keftede, octopodi and Romain salad were all tasty, fresh and well-prepared and served in generous portions. Three of us chose the fish of the day---Mediterranean sea bass simply grilled, with a side of spinach accented rice; the shrimp souvlaki, with its cherry tomatoes and onions was outstanding---its tomato flavored rice complemented the dish perfectly. The lemon sorbet was a lesson in balance between sweet and tart. Overall a wonderful Christmas Eve treat.
