From Sam Fox's Restaurant Concept group that brought us Culinary Dropout, Arrogant Butcher lived up to their name. Long wait times, even with a reservation; self important wait staff; and prices higher than the food warranted- good, but not amazing.
After waiting at the bar for about 25 minutes past our reservation time, we were seated in a comfortable booth, but waited another 10 minutes to see any wait staff. We also waited almost a half hour between courses. It was a good tactic if the goal is to keep you ordering drinks.
We started with the Tabbouleh Salad $8 and the Crispy Shrimp $13. The Tabbouleh Salad was good, but not exactly what we expected. It was more akin to a dinner salad than Tabbouleh you would expect at a Mediterranean restaurant. The shrimp were drenched in oil and not something I would recommend.
For entrées, three of us ordered the special- a 5 oz filet and 3 scallops with creamed spinach. The entrée was good, but given the menu prices, we were surprised when we received our bill that it was $56. The fourth in our group ordered the Sweet Potato Tortelli for $15. She seemed the happiest about her meal.
For dessert we picked the warm peanut butter cup chocolate gelato and the salted caramel pudding for $6 each. Both had a cloying sweetness where you could only eat a few bites. However the peanut butter cup was pretty tasty if you dipped a piece of the cookie in the gelato.
