Drawing on the South’s trademark charm, the restaurant offers a vibrant, cozy atmosphere with an innovative American menu featuring Southern-influences. Santos channels his love of New Orleans and all things Southern to transport guests to the Bayou by way of Buttermilk & Bourbon.
Takeout and delivery services are available via our website and Doordash. There are 3 options for seating: Standard (Indoors), High-Top (Indoors) and Patio (Outdoor). All outdoor patio reservations are subject to being canceled in the event of inclement weather. We offer a fifteen-minute grace period and ask that you call us if you will be running late or your reservation may be cancelled.
*We allot 1 hour and a half for a reservation of 2 guests and 2 hours for reservations consisting of 3 or more guests.
We look forward to seeing you soon!

    An almost empty restaurant at 5:15. When asked the hostess for a specific tiny table for two, was informed that there was a reservation for the little table.  In the hour spent not one other table was sat in the entire restaurant during that time. The requested tiny table empty upon leaving. Bartender, eating bar condiments with bare hands from the container. Never going back.

    Our table was so close to the neighboring tables that we had to press our backs onto the patrons who were sitting at the tables on either side of us. Since the seating were stools without backs, our own backs were pressed against those behind us. The young girl who sat us apologized but they were unable to reseat us. It made for some awkward dining. The food was excellent and probably worth the seating issues but it did take away from the meal.

    Music is a bit too loud. Food very good, service a bit slow possibly due to lack of staff

    Pablo was our server & he couldn't answer basic questions. We asked to have 1 order of chicken & waffles divided in two and out on 2 plates for easier sharing and he could not grasp the concept. Anything we asked, he replied, "I can ask the chef. I haven't been working here that long." The butter that comes with the chicken/waffles was too cold to spread. They also had items [fried oysters eggs benedict] on an online menu assigned to the Watertown location that they aren't actually serving, which was a bit disappointing.
