Butterworth's

A cozy full-service restaurant in the heart of Capitol Hill, a short walk from the U.S. Capitol. Chefs Bart Hutchins and Matty DeFranza are in our kitchen, and our talk-of-the-city bar staff can guide you through our exquisite cocktail menu and wine list. Our well-composed, seasonal French dishes were featured in The Washington Post's spring dining guide for 2025 and have received rave reviews from the New York Times Magazine, the Wall Street Journal, and beyond. Our full cafe and daytime service offers our house blend espresso, a handsome selection of teas, and a separate daytime food menu. There are even a few tables out front on Pennsylvania Avenue, for those who like to watch the world go by. See you at Butterworth's!

Join us for a special evening at Butterworth's in support of The Father McKenna Center, a nonprofit serving men experiencing homelessness and families facing food insecurity in Washington, DC. Half of all ticket sales from this event will be donated directly to the Father McKenna Center to help provide food, shelter, and essential support services. The Father McKenna Center offers a haven of hope and dignity for guests by providing daily meals, case management, and programs that help men move toward stability and meaningful, independent lives. Your ticket helps sustain this mission and directly supports your neighbors in need. Throughout the night, guests will enjoy a selection of passed hors d’oeuvres and a full bar with drinks available for purchase. It’s a relaxed, social evening to connect with friends, meet fellow supporters while enjoying good food and drink for a cause. Come out, raise a glass, and stand with the Father McKenna Center in its work of meeting needs and reclaiming lives in our city.
