I very rarely rate 5 stars: 4 is already a very good level. T.J. Buckley's is a charming little restaurant, a French-style table setting and a limited menu because the chef wants to master what he does. The salad is already worth the detour: a real little sight for the eyes, fresh, varied and crunchy as can be. Then, that evening, poison or rabbit. Cooking the fish: the flesh is still supple, the taste is very present, the accompaniments creative, light and excellent without covering the taste of the fish. The rabbit is perfectly cooked and melts to the bite. The vegetables are superb and still barely crunchy: mastered. Varied wine list, including by the glass. In our case, a perfect red Zinfandel. Dessert: Crème brûlée, a classic that allows us to compare: the test is very successful! The Michelin guide would say: Worth the detour!

Usually outstanding, a pleasure to enjoy a night of better than average food. Was a miss tonight on the wagu hanger steak. Not sure how but ordered med rare, was rare and tough and not seasoned. Should have melted in mouth but chewey and no flavor what so ever. The ice tea and simple syrup is very good. Overall, just ok.

When the chef dashed out of the kitchen to grab a few things from his garden, I knew this was going to be as good.
This is a wonderful place. Some of the best food I've eaten. Excellent staff. The crab cake is a cut above any I've ever had. The rabbit will linger in my memory.
Have been returning annually for five years. A very unique and well crafted experience with local flair. Intimate, unique and detail-oriented.

Exquisite food in a funky little diner environment. This establishment seats only 15 patrons at a time. Note that they do not have a full bar, so have your before dinner cocktail elsewhere before arrving. The food and sevice were excellent; would definitely go back.
My boyfriend and I dined here while on a short trip to Vermont for my Birthday last Thursday. We saw the great reviews and got a feel that it had to be a must try. We are so glad we did! Everything was so delicious and the presentation was outstanding. A wonderful spot if you’re looking for something unique/quaint out of your dining experience, while still eating fantastic food. Coming from the Southern NH- MA area the price range here was a plus as well:)

T J Buckley’s continues to be outstanding year after year. Michael and his staff prepared a wonderful menu for the evening. We came to celebrate a 75th birthday and as ordered the lighted birthday candle arrived on the Crème Brûlée. Just the restaurant to have a romantic dinner with someone special.
