"There are a number of reasons why, when you go to a restaurant, you wouldn't want to fill up on bread and butter (even if the butter always tastes better at a restaurant): You want to actually enjoy your main dishes at the restaurant and not as leftovers (or conversely, you don't want the bread to make you hungrier so you order more food than you intended), or you want to fill up on something more nutritious than just bread and butter."
"Billed as the Butter Service Garni, and served tableside by a waiter, Quality Bistro's special starter comes with whipped butter that's made in-house from a combination of cream from the award-winning Battenkill Valley Creamery and yogurt cultures (along the lines of what Michelin-starred Moss Restaurant does with its highly acclaimed butter). The butter arrives in a giant crock, and the waiter spreads it onto a marble slab."
Quality Bistro in Midtown Manhattan charges $38 for a table-side Butter Service Garni. The service includes house-made whipped butter crafted from Battenkill Valley Creamery cream and yogurt cultures, prepared similarly to butter at Michelin-starred Moss Restaurant. The butter is presented in a giant crock and spread on a marble slab, then finished with fleur de sel, chopped shallots, piment d'Espelette, and freshly ground pepper. The platter also contains grilled Filone bread from Sullivan Street Bakery, radishes, and cornichons. The offering arrives with hors d'oeuvres such as jambon cuit, mushroom duxelles, leeks vinaigrette, and a hachée Basquaise.
