I was surprised by the sophisticateness of the dishes in this restaurant. It was my first experience dining in a new American restaurant and completely changed my view on how new American can be. Love the food the atmosphere and the desserts.

Best burger in the area. Always demolish the mountain of fries they give you 🫶🏻

Suzanne our waitress was phenomenal. She paid close attention to our table and our cues. Always on point, appearing at just the right moment and very courteous. The food was very good especially the burrata, but the chicken was a bit bland and not crisped. Overall excellent evening.

Yummy and the servers are amazing and attentive. My food came out quickly and the serving was quite large. I got the pork milenese and cornbread

The waiters were friendly but not to be found at times. We got our drinks and salads qucikly but then waited an extremely long time for our dinners. The French fries were a little soggy too.

A very pleasant restaurant. We particularly liked the mussels and the cornbread. Good selection of draft beer. I didn't care for the pork chop - had a sweet onion topping and on top of some tired vegetable puree. I'll try the salmon next time. Lovely service - a quiet and relaxing vibe.

I actually love their food but the last two times I’ve been there the service was horrible.
First time: I made a reservation and was not seated for over an hour. They were very unapologetic.
Second time: I made a reservation for 4 at “high top” seating and got here and the “table” they had for us was 4 bar seats in a row. This is not acceptable for 4 people. How are you supposed to talk to each other. Hostess and manager did not seem to think there was anything wrong with this seating configuration. We left to go somewhere we could actually talk to our friends.
The salmon dish was incredible! I'm still thinking about it.

Food was absolutely phenomenal and service was outstanding. It lost one star because drink service was very slow for only being glasses of wine.

Inattentive server - cold entrees - rude manager.
This was our 4th time dining at Buttonwood, which had been a local favorite. No more though. The restaurant was not crowded yet there were times our server disappeared for stretches at a time.
We did not have any appetizers this time but went straight for entrees - the pork chop and chicken under brick. One bite of both and we could tell they had been sitting out for a while. The corn bread was hotter than our entrees. After finally finding our server we sent both dishes back. When new dishes were served, we saw they were the same entrees, just reheated. Besides being not sanitary, both dishes were now over cooked. (In my experience, in nicer restaurants, if a dish needs to be redone for any reason, you start new).
When the manager came over we explained the issue. He visibly sighed, rolled his eyes, and walked away from us. It was the rudest experience I have ever encountered at a supposedly nice restaurant. We were dumbstruck. He never returned so we left and went to the Irish pub around the corner having a much better overall experience
It's sad because Buttonwood had been a nice place, but when management insults patrons like that, they lose business.

Got takeout from here- and was totally surprised by how great the food was. Will definitely be back! Loved the chicken under a brick and homemade Calabrian chili spaghetti.

Great food, nice ambiance, and excellent service!
