Hey people, be careful with this restaurant. I did the reservation and after 5 minutes I called them to cancel it and they said I am gonna be charged for late cancellation!!! 25$ per person! This is fraud! Also they won’t take the call and it’s so hard to even find them to cancel it

Loved Buttonwood! Our first night there. Service was amazing with Alex at the bar. The food was terrific, fresh and perfectly prepared. Had the arugula salad to start. Lightly dressed perfect portion so good. My wife had the brick chicken. Excellent dish, so tasty and moist. I had the Salmon. OMG crispy crust, perfectly cooked and the best Brussels I've ever had. Great experience and met Chef Aaron. We will be back and adding this to our top restaurants list. Thank you!!

Each time I have been to Buttonwood it is a wonderful experience; between the mouthwatering food (you can taste the chef's love and expertise), to the relaxed and friendly service, and the overall atmosphere - truly special!

Buttonwood is always fun and delicious! Service is friendly & the menu is creative. I particularly appreciate that there is almost always an interesting vegetarian offering. The corn bread is absolutely the best in the world!

Great place with yummy food. The one drawback is that they don't always have a vegetarian option on their menu. I went with a group that included a vegetarian and a vegan. When I was selecting a restaurant, there was an obviously vegetarian entree that seemed like it could be made vegan on the menu. It had disappeared by the time we dined. When asked, they did offer an off-menu gnocchi option, which was nice. But I think it would be great if they always at least a vegetarian option on the menu, with the ability to adapt to vegans. The server, while nice, offered up no vegan options for small bites, salads, etc. I'm an omnivore but was a little surprised and disappointed on behalf of my friends.

We had a lovely time food and service were excellent. It was pretty loud but it may have just been that the people sitting next to us exceptionally loud. I would definitely recommend going here. It's a little on the pricey side but given what restaurants cost these days it makes sense and the quality was definitely there, great for a special night out!”

Wonderful birthday dinner! The appetizers were fabulous, especially the cornbread, which may be a side not an appetizer, but so so good! Everyone loved their entrées as well. The banana bread pudding for dessert was exquisite. This place feels like a neighborhood restaurant with excellent food. There were seven of us for dinner, and it was wonderful that we could actually each other even though it was a very lively convivial environment. Nice service too!

The food is still great, though I wish they'd make more changes to the menu. Cocktails are always excellent. It doesn't feel so neighborhood-centric anymore, which is probably good if you're coming from a distance; but for us locals, it would be nice to get that back.

Wonderful birthday dinner with friends at Buttonwood! The food was delicious, the service was lovely, and our server made our experience perfect! The birthday girl was surprised with a delicious cannoli and candle at the end of the meal. I highly recommend and will be back soon!

I always get the chicken wings and was surprised when they were covered in maple syrup. Maybe for regular customers you could alert them either on the menu or by the waitress. Personally I'm not interested in anything sweet until desert.

Food oversalted. Salads overdressed. Noise level off the charts—suggest you invest in acoustic tiles or something! Servers were attentive and food was served promptly. Appetizer was lovely and menu was very interesting.

Our server was attentive, helpful and very fun. The food was inventive and very good. What was disappointing was the atmosphere/decor. Although the interior is not old, it feels tired. It feels like the intention was to make the ambiance comfortable and cosy but it's coming across as worn and dated. I think they should try again to give the place a new 'vibe'. Otherwise, we had a really nice time and will be back.

Excellent food. Short rib was some of the best I've ever had. Wine by the glass selection very limited with some odd and overly expensive prices ($22 and $26 for the two pinot noirs by the glass...really?!) Service was solid but nothing special nor friendly. Enjoy coming here but like most restaurants these days the prices are creeping ever upwards meaning a simple dinner and drink for two approaches $200 after tax and tip and I'm not entirely sure it's worth that much money.

Didn't try the cocktails but they looked interesting. Apps were good. Cornbread almost as good as advertised. Mains were good but the $49 steak was very small and so sinewy that my wife had to saw through it to get a bite. Service was very good.
