What People Are Saying About Butterfly Restaurant
Featured Review
Patrick Heig

A striking view of the bay provides a beautiful backdrop to a chic, lofty dining room and a bar backed dramatically in lapis-blue. The crowd is often a bit random--tourists from the piers and Ferry Building, special occasion couples and groups there for dinner-with-a-view, and downtown boozers who make the trek for Butterfly's great happy hour deals. It's hard to tell if former Chronicle "rising star" chef Robert Lam's menu is more Californian or Pan-Asian, but with dishes like duck confit spring rolls, kalua pig lettuce cups, and whole-roasted fish there's something for everyone.

Must eat here!
by CSMobileUser4 at Citysearch
The restaurant is beautiful. The staff was great and the food was fantastic! We had the calamari as an appetizer, which had a sauce on top that was to die for. For our main course, I had the aghi tuna (pan seared) oh man, I practically licked the plate! My husband had their famous burger and said it was the best he's ever had! The staff helped us pick great wine, overall the bill was on the high side but well worth it!

Great Restaurant on the SF Waterfront
by PamNewcastle at Citysearch
We stumbled on this restaurant after taking the Alcatraz Tour. We felt very lucky to end up here instead of in some tourist trap. The food, drinks, service, and decor are all very good. We ordered from the brunch menu, which is excellent.
- Pros: Great drinks and food
- Cons: None

Go here!
by foodieSS4K at Citysearch
I?ve been here before and each time, I have had a very pleasant dining experience. On top of that, did you know this restaurant is teaming up with StreetSmart4kids? It?s actually really cool what they?re doing. I just heard about how SS4K is a nonprofit organization that helps underprivileged teens stay healthy. They are running their ?Dine Out and Donate? campaign here (as well as approx. 70 other restaurants in SF) during October and early November. After having a fabulous dining experience, just fill out the donation form when paying the check (minimum donation $3). This is perfect for people like me, who love to eat out all the time and also like to give back to the community. Check it out for yourself on the StreetSmart4Kids website!

Odd Pairings of Ingredients
by siciliana at Citysearch
Dill on hanger steak? That didn't work for me. The food was incredibly salty.
Great drinks. Great service. Beautiful interior.
- Pros: Many dishes are flops.
- Cons: Great drinks. Stunning interior.
