    My husband took me to Butterfish for my birthday and wow...what an incredibly elevated dining…read moreexperience. The ambience is nice. Tables are a little close together but no one was next to us for the first half of our meal. Service was excellent. They were super attentive refilling water and taking away plates which helped move the courses along. We opted for the Premium menu and we were not at all disappointed. We were especially surprised with how delicious the scallop sushi was. If I had to say, the Toro hand roll was my least favorite course but overall it was the perfect special treat to celebrate my birthday.

    Butterfish is an interesting experience to be sure. As others have mentioned, not having a sushi…read morebar at a restaurant known for Omakase is a bit strange. The interior is quite small and the tables are packed in rather close together. It is Rutherford, so BYOB is expected, though they do have very nice looking mocktails (which we didn't try). The hostess was very friendly as was our server. We opted for the Chef Tasting menu, mostly so that we didn't have to make too many decisions. It is the most pricy option, but gives you a real taste of what the restaurant has to offer. I will note that they are able to make substitutions for allergy or dietary accommodations. That said, I was unimpressed with the swap of the A5 Wagyu in both courses for me (I forgot to picture Course 5 - Blue Crab Handroll topped with A5 Wagyu, which they substituted with Ebi. I would have preferred a high end fish, which would better match the price point of the Wagyu as well.) I was looking forward to the Blue Crab handroll, but unfortunately it was my least favorite course of the evening, followed closely by the Lobster. On the contrary, the scallop appetizer and sushi were amazing (and I don't usually like scallop sushi at all). The Yellowtail Ceviche is pure perfection. They should also probably point out that anything with the A5 Wagyu, Unagi or Foie Gras should be eaten first (before it gets cold), this was a mis. Overall, the fish is very fresh, the flavor combinations are delightful, and the soy sauce eye dropper was fun. The service was excellent as well. We probably wouldn't order the omakase again, now that we know what we liked and what we would skip. The gelato was a surprisingly wonderful ending to an overall great meal. The price point here makes this a special occasion meal, so we likely won't be back soon.

    Wonderful restaurant. Went after my friend's graduation (yay) the food was amazing. Mushroom miso…read morewas amazing and fresh as well as the Salmon Jalapeño app. The fish was fresh and super good. Many varieties of rolls and they all sounded so good. Fall in love roll was my favorite for the evening! The waitresses were so nice and helpful, one of them was new and she was doing amazing. The place itself is really cute and perfect for date night.

    A gal needs her sushi! I was craving raw fish and decided to try out Yellowtail, a BYOB Japanese…read morerestaurant located in the heart of Rutherford. They have an extensive menu with sushi, sashimi, teriyaki, noodles, soup, salads, fusion appetizers, etc. They even have some Korean items like bulgogi, sundubu, and bibimbap. Prices are reasonable. I called and placed a take-out order near closing time. The employee was accommodating, pleasant, and told me my order would be ready in 15 minutes. I drove over and was able to find street parking easily. The interior is casual and spacious, but a little dreary and outdated. They have exposed brick walls, wood tables, and hanging light fixtures. My food was prepared on time. I ordered: *Salmon Lover - 4 pieces of sushi, 4 pieces of sashimi, 6 piece roll ($20.50) *Tuna Lover - 4 pieces of sushi, 4 pieces of sashimi, 6 piece roll ($20.50) The salmon and tuna were fresh in taste, texture, and smell. Vibrant colors, firm and smooth textures, and delicate flavors! The sushi rolls had the right fish to rice ratio. The rice could've been more seasoned. The miso soup was warm, savory, and comforting. Not the best sushi I've ever had, but it did the job of satisfying my cravings. I would return to try their special rolls!
