    Dining for two. First time at Buckley’s. Was sat at a cramped table in a busy room, someone must’ve ordered oysters nearby, you could smell them. For a $130 bill for two, I don’t think i’d come back. The server was amazing and the drinks were fantastic (will definitely come back for drinks) however I don’t think the food portions/quality was enough for the price and cramped seating. The food was good, not much flavor to the veggies. Don’t think the portions are worth the price as someone who often visits restaurants. Again great service, great drinks. Stay blessed!

    Service was slow for some reason. Hope it was just an off night.

    The restaurant was extremely cold. We first were seated in a room that was extended off of the bar area. We booked our reservation months in advance and we were still seated in a drafty room. And then when we were moved to another room on the 1st floor, we froze during dining. The steaks we ordered were fatty. We enjoyed our service but the entire aspect of being so cold will not bring us back.

    The service is outstanding. They moved us to a different table. Really went out of their way. Food is really good. The tavern area is full of energy. Too loud and the windows need to be better insulated. They might want to look at some acoustic material to absorb sound of the noise. Overall, though, a really good place.
