From the minute me and my family walked in we knew it was going to be good, but didn’t expect for one minute for it to be that good. The food was second to none, fresh and cooked to absolute perfection. The wine was amazing, the sides, the sauces you name it and it was delicious! All staff made us feel welcome, comfortable and was a really gentle feel about the place. Honestly, well done. Knocks spots off anywhere I’ve been. Thank you for a lovely evening for my Dads birthday, we loved every second

So disappointed 🤦‍♀️ BUTTERFLIES BAR & KITCHEN your staff are rude! The restaurant was welcoming and well presented, starters were hot and delicious but the main was awful . Ordered the sharing steak at being requested medium, when arrived came out at rare and COLD , along with COLD sauces and onion rings. When complaining, the staff had FORGOT to ask us if we wanted the hot plate - so we could warm it up or cook it to a medium as requested . Absolutely crap - would never go back to this place again . When explaining to the staff we were patronised -“yes the steak is pink” ..

One of the best restaurants I've been to in my entire life and I've been to a few. The food is incredible and the staff are very pleasant and can't do enough for you. To top it off the prices are so affordable. They tick all the boxes for me and my family, we can't wait to go again. You need to book very early because you can't get a reservation otherwise, so that on its own speaks for itself. 😊 😊

Thursday night treat. Wow what an experience. When trying to book a table at Butterflies we had to wait 3 weeks to get availability and we can see why. The quality of service and food was incredible. We will definitely be back as soon as we can get availability. Also really looking forward to trying their Sunday lunch but there’s nothing showing on the booking service til sept - will try to get on the cancellation system and hope for the best Thank you for the most amazing meal

First visit to Butterflies for my 73rd Birthday. It lived up to all the reviews and more. The Service was excellent, The meal Superb. We liked the hot stone sent with our Chateaubriand so that we could cook the steak to our individual preference, and overall our experience was fabulous. Will definitely return. The only negative was that we were unable to leave a tip for the excellent service as this could not be added to our bill. We paid by card and did not have any cash on us.

First time in Butterflies for many years and we are already looking to book again very soon. The place itself is tastefully decorated and the tables are comfortably spaced apart (not crammed together). I realised before we arrived that it was going to be busy as it had been fully booked for weeks when I tried to reserve a table. Despite it being busy the service and food was prompt . The staff/service was to a high standard and respectful. My husband and I ordered the Chateaubriand which comes medium. I prefer a well cooked steak which I was pleasantly impressed when the waiting staff presented us with a hot plate in order for me to cook mine that little bit longer. Perfect. The amount and quantity of the steak was first class. I would highly recommend Butterflies but I would advise you to book weeks in advance if you need a specific date to visit. Thanks again to everyone that made the night one to remember. Stunning.

Absolutely gorgeous meal at BBK tonight! The staff are so attentive and lovely - they seemed to genuinely love what they do explaining everything if asked and also giving us a heads up on how certain things are cooked / tips! Beautiful food - portions were super filling and flavoursome. The ambience was lovely with the fairy lights and it was lovely & toasty inside as out was dreary and cold! We’ve been once before and both times equally as nice - will be back again soon!! (Can’t seem to add photos but believe me it was spot on!)

Travelled over an hour to try out this restaurant with my husband and we were not disappointed. Amazing food, great service and lovely staff. Portions are really good, Thai fish cakes for starter were amazing, the fish and chips were huge and cooked to perfection and the dessert I had, peanut butter brownie was to die for. Top notch food! Will definitely be returning!

We really cannot recommend this place enough! My partner and I went for a meal to celebrate his birthday, and we were not disappointed! The quality and taste of the food was outstanding!! We had 3 courses each, but the star of the show had to be the cote de boeuf. The chef cooked them to perfection and I love that we were shown them beforehand to choose which cut we would like. The service was impeccable, such friendly staff and we were not left waiting for anything. Cannot wait to return! Thank you Butterflies!

Very overrated , food was very average for the price wanted a rump but only had a massive 24oz and wasn’t aloud to have it halfed and have with my partner and pay the difference and order extra sides to go with it so ended up spending less and having our 2nd option , ordered the garlic and cheese and carmelised red onion and it came and it was picked red onion instead , had a chicken burger and the bread was stale but chicken was decent one we had was boiling hot and the other one wasn’t , croquettes were lovely , staff taking orders were rude and not very helpful , lovely pub inside but very disappointing, the surrounding tables also didn’t seem very happy with the service given

Came here for an anniversary meal with my partner and WOW. unbelievable food and service - we opted for the steak experience for 2 and it was out of this world. the steaks were tender and so flavourful. Both sides were impeccable. the mac n cheese being our personal favourite but the dirty onion rings didn’t disappoint. the photo speak for itself but still doesn’t show how truly amazing this meal was. We had everything cooked to how the chef recommended and if it isn’t to your liking they will offer a hot stove for you. But we definitely didn’t need this as the steaks were perfectly cooked for all 3 steaks. Will definitely return

I normally don’t leave these kinds of reviews but I would like to advise people who happen to be reading reviews to make an informed decision. Myself and my partner were looking for somewhere nice and casual yesterday for a coffee if only for a few mins, after hearing good things we drove here specifically, Google says the shut time on a Sunday is 5:30, however there’s a sign on an intimidating looking door that says it shuts at 5 on a Sunday, the time was 16:40 and we rang the doorbell thinking even if we only had 20 mins, at least we’d get a feel for the restaurant to maybe return on a later date, a man dressed in a suit answers and says that they are closed(I did mention the time on Google/the door and the current time), not even slightly apologetic and kinda dismissive especially when we explained we only wanted a coffee(fair enough turning us away from a Sunday lunch) In any case we started making our way back home and see signs for the Whistle Inn and I would 100% recommend here instead, the restaurant has a gorgeous view of the surrounding landscapes and a small railway line and we spent 3 hours there until it got dark, the few staff members we spoke to were incredibly friendly also, if you’re fancying a late afternoon place to chill and have a drink, it’s a go to Edit for reply, I appreciate the response, I understand it's not your fault that Google takes a while to update. However I’d like to address a few things back, your bookings only for…coffee? Unnecessary in my personal opinion, regardless you can’t expect people to check your social media, Kai may be a nice person but he was slightly dismissive and I’d say working in the public sector at least be apologetic of a situation, we did drive there for specifically your restaurant, at least recommend something different to prevent the wasted journey(the one hour you mentioned in reference to opening times was the reason for the hour long drive there and back for us), that small bit of friendly information would have prevented this review, someone trying to be understanding will never be faulted. The door, when I say intimidating I’m not talking about the style of wood I’m talking about the mouldy printed sign and a ring doorbell, making it feel like someone’s home rather than a restaurant, it’s a weird contrast to the beautiful and bright walls, I’m sure you cater to your patrons well when they can actually enter the place, but we sadly didn't get to experience that

I booked a table for my birthday a family meal, due to unforeseen circumstances could not attend as 3 of the party of 6 not well enough to go, as it was a family meal I did not want to still go without everyone present. I called to explain the circumstance and had the most hostile experience I’ve ever had by a member of staff there, he would not give me his name just said he was the owners husband so how he spoke to me would not make a difference due to that! He was extremely rude and aggressive down the phone even hung up on me which left me utterly gobsmacked, all I asked was would we have to pay a deposit due to the circumstances as if so 3 of us would still come as we could not really afford to lose a £60 deposit, but ideally we would like to cancel an book another day as we were planning on driving an hour there also today. I was that shocked at how he spoke to me I recorded the conversation when I called back after being hung up on, it was just appalling behaviour, due to this I will 100% never book to go there now simply based on how rude a member of staff was. You should never work in the public sector if you have no idea how to speak/ deal with customers

We are quite local, we loved it, we’ll be back…

Tucked away in tight streets of Blaenavon/, booked table online, which you need to as it gets extremely busy. Small venue, but don't let that put you off. Great menu of predominantly British dishes. Wife ordered the beef and stout pie, I had the chicken. You get very generous portions. Was pretty stuffed but made room for a dessert, and glad I did, they were great. Plenty of drinks choice. Prices are pretty decent for quality of food you get, paid about £35 a head. Book it soon.

Called here on 22nd February as a group of six. Parking - this was a major issue for us since dedicated parking is non existent and requires a grab a spot parking in narrow streets that contain blocked-off ends and few turning spaces. Situated in a hilly valleys town, access for wheelchair users could be quite difficult and access in and out of of the premises would be equally challenging. Inside the premises, tables and chairs were adequately placed to allow access, but access to the toilets for wheelchair users would prove problematic. The food was of a very good standard and hot, even if my own steak was not cooked as I ordered (it WAS acceptably cooked) and portions were respectable for a rather higher-priced quality meal. The one big let-down for us was the attitude of the one waitress (with a nose piercing) who all too frequently came out with sarcasm and condescending comments. Had this happened at the beginning of our visit, I would seen fit to leave. I still give a 2/5 star for the service since food was delivered timely and other staff members were pleasant. Would I recommend?- Yes, for a visit. The experience is likely to be a pleasant memory for most people. Would I return? - Unlikely. The village has some awkward roads to access the place, one-way streets and dead-ends with difficult parking in my experience. The food was good but the attitude of the waitress left an impression that sometimes could be difficult for one to overlook the negatives and feel the positives.

It’s difficult to get in at Butterflies and I can totally understand why, the food is absolutely amazing, my husband had the soup to start, potato and leek, and then steak pie with vegetables and chips , I had the lamb with vegetables gratin potatoes and a side of cauliflower and broccoli cheese bake, I can honestly say I have not had a meal out so good for what seems like ages. The service was welcoming and so helpful what a wonderful homely feeling it gave, thank you for a great evening.

So we was able to have medium instead and use the hot block. the steak came out rare completely undercooked and mostly blue in parts. We spent more time cooking the steak and even had to ask for another hot block. by this time our sides and sauces where cold. the food was tasteless and I don't know what all the fuss is about as the lady's serving us was very rude, after speaking to manager she was very arrogant. And then went off and told the staff about us and all the staff where speaking about us by the bar and looking.

We were running 20 mins late for our booking, but the welcome was great and we were accommodated within 5 mins. Staff were really friendly all evening and service was impeccable. As for the menu, only problem was choosing out of so many things that we wanted. The menu was wide and varied, I recall there being at least 3 starters I wanted!! Food was served in a timely manner, not too quick, but nowhere near slow! We prefer not to feel rushed and this was it!! Perfect. Portion sizes are huge, no one could leave hungry! Unfortunately I could manage a dessert but the others shared one and it was excellent and plenty for 2 Bill was surprisingly reasonable even after a good tip, which was fully deserved! If we can we will be back…….. soon!!

If you wanted to sit in a cold draughty back room,which was not very inviting from the off,a red brick wall to one side & other draughty windows & a green like Deco wall covering another which is the way out which is access to toilet & kitchen.the waiting staff were not very pleasant one was quite short with the way she was talking not just to us, our starters were warm not hot at all,I myself had the lamb kebab which was greesy I know lamb is but it was not nice very chewy the meat was 3 small pieces which were uneaten.our mains came which was lukewarm again,all of the 4 meals, again very oily to taste,I has salmon with garlic butter & shrimp sauce,there was no garlic in it 2 king prawns which are not shrimp I ask for the sauce to be separate which the waiters was pulling a face and said I will ask the chef.it came in a small saucepan I tasted it & thank god I didn't put it over the salmon it was awful I left it.we didn't have a sweet as we were cold the room was noisey & tbh glad to get out from that back room as it wasn't at all relaxing.a shame as we was looking forward to a lovely cosy evening with family 😔

Had a great meal and experience, me and my wife went for the ultimate steak experience which was a shared serving of rump, T-bone and ribeye steak along with two sides and two sauces. The steaks were cooked perfectly, very tender, especially the ribeye. For the sides we went for the dirty loaded onion rings and dirty loaded fries, the fries were probably the best "side" I've had, topped with brisket & cheese they were very good. Had more than enough steak so we took the left overs home which even the next day were still tender and reheated very nice, showing the quality of the meat they serve. Staff were also attentive and friendly! Parking is the only downside to dining here, surrounded by busy, narrow residential streets, trying to park whilst trying to be considerate to the local neighbours is very difficult, but it wouldn't affect the rating or put me off coming back!

First thing to mention is that this restaurant is in a very narrow residential street and there is absolutely no parking. How on earth this restaurant was given planning permission to operate I have no idea and it must drive local residents mad. We, a party of 4, arrived at 7.10pm for 7.30pm reservation . We were told we could not be seated as a larger party had to be seated first however when we were shown to our table it was a table that had been free and set when we arrived and we could have sat down. I mention this only because we were offered a drink at the bar however the bar is tiny and has no seating. My advice to other diners don't arrive early! It was pouring with rain outside, noone offers to take your coats so these had to be put over the back of the chairs we were seating on. Our orders were taken. Two of us ordered lamb. Appreciating that lamb is often served 'pink' my friend prefers her meat cooked through. We told the server our preference to be told that the chef will not cook it anymore than he sees fit as it's a 'signature dish'. The starters of soup, goats cheese and mushrooms were fine. Our lamb arrived. The ends were pink however in the main it was raw. The steak was cooked as ordered(not a signature dish?) and pie was acceptable. Two desserts were ordered and were acceptable. Coffee on offer was limited just black filter coffee (coffee machine broken). For 4 people bill was £200. We felt rushed throughout. Not sure what this place is trying to be. When we were leaving there were 4 elderly gents drinking pints of beer sitting at a table?? Customers ranged from smartly dressed to baseball caps and jogging pants. Food was good if you can eat raw lamb. It feels like 'Emperor's new clothes' syndrome is at play here. We will not return and would not recommend.

My wife birthday treat she started with salt and pepper chicken, and I had the garlic mushrooms. For the main meal, we had the surf and turf share platter, half a lobster tail each with plenty of fleshy lobster inside and chateaubriand with about 15 slices cooked to perfection we enjoyed the two sauces of beef dripping and red wine and the sides we chose were dirty onion rings and dirty fries. Both were a great compliment to our main meal. I finished off with an Irish coffee, which was delicious. I highly recommend a visit if you can book a table. The staff are very friendly and helpful, we can't wait to come again

Lucky enough to get a cancellation this evening. We have visited many times and it never disappoints 😁 quality of food, choice and standard is outstanding! Staff are all friendly and welcoming. Lovely atmosphere made even better with the log burner. Always our restaurant of choice… nowhere else comes close to Butterflies standards. If you haven’t visited yet.. do!!! Can’t wait for the next visit!

Visited for my 21st birthday and I will definitely be returning. The food was absolutely amazing, the portion sizes were massive and full of flavour. I personally had the Rueben Burger with a side of the loaded onion rings, while my parents had the Chateaubriand for two, Both dishes were presented stunningly! The staff were all extremely friendly and helpful.

I have been to butterflies many times but never to a funeral buffet, this was second to none, everything was so fresh, beautifully cooked and presented. My mum would have enjoyed it so much. Thank you Dayne, Curtis & staff, you gave a little light into a very sad day. Rosalind & John Thorpe.

Some issues with our on line booking but was dealt with considerately professionally and the staff were brilliant fair play. Great starters and the main meals were fabulous… steaks were amazing and sauces and Mac and cheese side really added a bit extra to the meals. Desserts were fab and I loved my peanut butter stack. Atmosphere and surroundings were just right and excellent service. Another customer I spoke to said the Sunday lunches are fabulous but as with this evening need to book well in advance. Hope to visit again in the future and highly recommended 10/10👍🏼😎

I have given 5* before for meals during the week before, but after a long wait for the Sunday roast I was disappointed. If I could book another roast in a couple of weeks or month or two I wouldn't mind and give it another go, however as the waiting list is so long (which is a good thing) I probably won't get another chance to try again. Potatoes were seasoned lovely and tasted really good but we're very under cooked. There was a group of 7 with myself. Half of us had cooked potatoes and the other half had under cooked, so we know it was just the batch that we had. As I cannot eat red meat I had chicken with the veggie gravy. Although the chicken was lovely, the gravy was a sweet cranberry gravy which I was not informed of or expecting. As a table we were not asked how our food was or if there were any issues until after our desserts. The waitresses are nice but as they're busy you do not want to stop them when they're carrying food or dirty plates or drinks, also waiting for food to be changed while the rest of the table is eating isn't the nicest feeling. Was hoping to go home full and with a doggy bag as we usually do, but ended up having two desserts and then cooking when we got home 😂 After a long wait and a lot of hype around the roast, I was very dissatisfied and disappointed. I feel the response has been to cover your back more than to apologise. Staff didn't ask us if our food was ok when the napkins were dropped over, he asked. If there was anything else we needed. If it was we didn't hear it because none of our table answered. And we all mentioned it at the end to the lady that no one asked us. We would have told you, but also as I said 3 of us didn't want to wait for more potatoes when the others were eating when you were so busy. Which as I said is a good thing when you like your food. Because the veggie gravy was sweet it would have been nice to have been informed to be given the option as sweet on a cook dinner if quite unusual for me. And I am sorry we were late, but we travelled from Newport and my grandad parents were driving for the first time and found it hard to park, even though my partner her mum and my son were all on time as I was helping my grandparents park. If customers being 10 minutes late is a problem please let us know when we walk in. Not telling us it's not a problem and sitting us down and then mentioning it on here when we have issues. I feel because of the reputation of the pub, some staff assume everything is ok and fine when sometimes things aren't. It's always good to check. I do hope I will try the Sunday roast again, but I am not willing to wait another 3/4 months for something I can get plenty of between Newport and bleanavon. After this response I probably won't be, my family will they enjoyed it. But I won't be Thanks
