Buttonwood is a charming neighborhood spot in Newton that offers modern American cuisine. The cozy restaurant provides excellent food and wonderful service, with a warm host and attentive waiter. The menu features dishes such as the burger, which stands out as a favorite, and spring pea risotto, which may not impress everyone. Guests have enjoyed mussels, risotto, and spaghettini, describing them as delicious and some of the best they've ever had. The staff, including knowledgeable bartenders and servers, are friendly and helpful, often assisting with wine and cocktail choices. The food is consistently good, with dishes like the cheeseburger and brick chicken praised for their quality. Chef and owner Aaron personally visits guests to ensure satisfaction, and the food is often described as extraordinary, with every dish appreciated. While the atmosphere is inviting, some visitors note that the restaurant can be a little cold, even in summer, and suggest bringing a jacket. Despite this, many find Buttonwood to be a well-done place worth traveling for, offering interesting dishes and a warm, welcoming environment.
