Butterfish

I didn’t have a great experience at Butterfish but I think my companions enjoyed their meals. I grew up in West Chester and decided to check out this new restaurant after I saw positive reviews on wcdish.com. We headed here for an early Sunday breakfast and were surprised that it wasn’t very crowded. We all ordered, and agreed we’d split an order of the banana stuffed french toast, which seemed heavenly. I had a smoked salmon and goat cheese omelet. It was a nice touch that the breakfasts come with complimentary mimosas or bloody marys.

Unfortunately my meal came out of the kitchen 20 minutes after everyone else’s meal in the party. The waitress asked me if I still wanted it when she brought it to me. It was frustrating also because of the large quantity of waitstaff milling around and the small quantity of actual patrons. It was tasty and came with some nicely roasted potato pieces but I due to the service paying $11 for it left me unhappy. Since I was with a crowd I didn’t want to make a fuss to get it for free.

The stuffed banana french toast was good, made of a baguette, but not soft enough. My companions all enjoyed their selections. I would give it another try but not if I was hurting for cash. The two eggs, toast and a meat are $7.50. Menu is on the website.
