   Our server was excellent (attentive and knowledgeable), and the food was spectacular! We especially loved the walnut muhammara, the burrata, the roasted cauliflower entree, the burger, and the banana bread pudding. Party of 4 = lots of different dishes to share! It was a little loud on a Saturday night, but we were able to have a conversation without yelling. We look forward to returning :)

   Great little neighborhood restaurant with small to moderate size menu (about 8 main dishes) of food that is prepared and presented very well by pleasant and attentive waitstaff. Make a reservation or you'll have to come back another night!

   Overall had a enjoyable evening. We were seated quickly but it did take a minute to get our cocktails after we ordered. The drinks were good but bot memorable. The menu is quite limited but what we had was good. We enjoyed the chicken under a brick and the cheese burger. The highlight of the meal was the cornbread which was almost cake like. The server was pleasant but not particularly attentive and it felt like the food took forever to come out which was surprising since the restaurant was less than half full. The other negative was the noise level which was quite loud and made table conversation difficult without shouting. As far as value goes, the entrees were priced well with the chicken under a brick costing $32 and the burger $24 and both coming with generous accompaniments but extras added up quickly. Both the basket of fries and the cornbread seemed a bit rich at $10. Overall, we had an enjoyable experience with tasty food, fair service and fair value.

   We love Buttonwood! The food is always on point. The service was wonderful last night, but sometimes it can be very slow. The menu is very small but everything they have is great.

   Buttonwood was a great weeknight dinner experience. Our server was friendly and knowledgeable of the menu. She treated our kids exceptionally and even brought out a canoli dessert for my son's birthday. The food was seasoned well and executed perfectly. We had a table of 4 adults and 2 children, and we shared much of the menu. I enjoyed the pork chop dish the most but liked everything I tried. I can see why it's hard to get a reservation for this restaurant, and I will be returning soon.

    The whole staff was attentive and kind, especially on a busy night (Valentine's Day). We thoroughly enjoyed the experience.
