So delicous! We had our anniversary dinner at Butter and arrived to a special decoration on our table and they surprised us with a free dessert! Everything in between left us wanting more. The Chicken Milanese was so incredibly moist and perfectly cooked. The Crab crusted Cod special was also cooked to perfection and flavorful. The ambiance was rustic and cozy. I wanted to go back the next night but we already had reservations somewhere else. We will definitely be back!

Did not expect this place to be so amazing. Ambience is excellent. We sat outside and it was a little chilly but there is an outside area where you’re under the heaters. The view of the bridge and river is beautiful as the sun goes down. Food was outstanding start to finish. Great fun seasonal cocktails, apps- we got the house bread, arancini, kale Caesar were all delicious. The boneless half chicken was the best chicken I’ve ever had. Filet was solid, scallops were cooked perfectly and the short rib was super flavorful without being fatty. All in for five people with two apps and a salad, and three cocktails was just over $60pp. Excellent value.

We were visiting from Philly with a big food scene and generally have high expectations when it comes to fine dining. Kevin’s blew us away. The food was delicious. Everything was flavorful and had great presentation. The cocktails were well crafted and elevated. The atmosphere was also cozy. We certainly will be returning on our next visit to the area.

The food was delicious. Some in our group had the Lobster Friday night special, it was done to perfection. Birthday celebration for one of our group and they made it special with a skillet chocolate chip cookie with ice cream ... it was heavenly.

We highly recommend dining at Hotel Fouchere. The Delmonico Room is elegantly decorated with white table service in a cozy and comfortable atmosphere. Our server was friendly and attentative. We began with a glass of a French Sauvignon Blanc which was delicious and just right with the warm assorted breads and flavored butters. Then we ordered the wonderful, tasty butternut squash soup, a crisp wedge salad, and the evening special a NY strip steak cooked to perfection with a peppercorn sauce topping and purée potatoes. Everything was well presented, prepared and delicious. Compliments to the Chef. We were very pleased with our dining experience and will definitely make reservations again.
