A Michelin star restaurant with a more than reasonably priced menu. I ate veal tongue and brains for the first time and honestly was impressed. The wine is excellent and such a reasonable price. The waitstaff was amazing and patient and spoke great English. Definitely a recommend. We had the 2 person steak - one of the best steaks I’ve had and I’m from Texas. Desert - chocolate lava - just exquisite.

Generally the dish is fine, you get what you pay for. The service was decent but it takes too much time for them to prepare a main course. For us, we wait for an hour to get our main course served.

Not recommended to come if you are really hungry.

Simply amazing! Okay, the menu is very meat-heavy, but that’s to be expected in light of the name, I guess.
Very high quality dishes, decent selection of beers, nice and friendly service stuff, nice ambient (industry flair is anyway kind of a soft spot for me 😀) and so on…
Highest recommendation from my side!

We enjoyed a delightful evening at the Butcher's Son, where both the food and service were of high quality. The ambiance was pleasing as well, and I would suggest opting for seating downstairs for the added experience of being near the kitchen.

Do review the pricing beforehand; while not the most budget-friendly, the overall experience certainly justified the expense!

Nice place for a business dinner. Good choice for a good steak. Best to save place for dessert and coffee as they are delicious
