We have such a fantastic time at Buttermilk and Bourbon every time. Our service with Ethan was perfect and Mimi is a rock star, ensuring everyone was smiling and having a blast. The Christmas decorations look so good, I could only imagine how much effort was put into making B&B look festive. The kitchen was on point with each plate, with the mussels special being the best dish. 10/10 will be back again

Went here with my girlfriend for our two year anniversary. Had a great time! The jerk chicken tacos and the Cajun shrimp and chicken pasta were fantastic. It was quiet on Sunday evening so the chef (Tony) personally brought our food to us! 10/10 experience.
