    We have just moved to the area and were delighted to find that Buckley is a very short walk away. It is the Holidays and the restaurant was tasteful decorated. We really like the casual yet upscale feeling and ambiance. Our server Jessica was terrific, knowledgeable, and friendly. For was delicious. Menu is short but encompasses various pallets. Vegan to Burger and fries. We will be back shortly!

    Amazing service! Food was fantastic. Smash burger was smashalicious and the Spicy Vodka pasta was delish! Fantastic wine list. The Foccacia is tasty. My only recommendation would be to have it warmed up or fresh out if the oven would be over the top!

    We were disappointed with our evening at Buckley's. We waited about 20 minutes for a table after our reservation time - when we were there early. Service was slow and out-of-sync (e.g. apps came before cocktails which were way behind the apps). Everyone ordered something different and everyone thought their food was just mediocre. The atmosphere was nice and our table was quiet so we could all talk, but that's not enough to bring us back to Buckley's.

    My pasta was good, but a bit too spicy. I didn’t want to order alcohol, so I asked my waitress about the specialty craft sodas on the menu. She knew I never had them before and failed to mention the Cherry soda was like drinking carbonated apple cider vinegar. It was awful and $7 literally down the drain. Everyone else’s experience was wonderful!
