The Butler House has added a lunchtime service and changed general managers since I last reviewed it, so I went back to try a noon meal. I ended up getting a brunch item, the short rib hash, with a cup of coffee. The restaurant itself looks very similar to what it did when it opened. They have a lot of seating inside and out. It is upscale but not overly fancy, but fine dining is still their focus. The short rib hash is rib meat and rough cut potatoes in a wonderfully rich sauce--a very dark gravy with just a hint of Worcestershire sauce, perfect for a brunch. I ordered it with Texas toast and scrambled eggs. The eggs were fine, the toast was very representative. But the hash--oh, the hash. It looks more like a beef stew. Very tender with plenty of that sauce soaking the meat and potatoes. It's satisfying and unique, I've had nothing like it anywhere else, and it stands out to me as the most creative item on the brunch menu so I can highly recommend it. Service is appropriately upscale. I had a server but the manager did most of the service as the restaurant was very quiet when I was there. There was an issue with my table--it was rocking a bit--but they fixed that right up. I wouldn't change my original rating--4.5 and round it up.
