   This was our first visit to Buttonwood. The food was mediocre at best; my entree was inedible so I sent it back. The staff was very nice; the acoustics were terrible. We arrived at 8:30; at 9:30 when there were only a few tables occupied and it was still extremely difficult to hear each other talk. Frankly, the place felt trendy for the sake of being trendy - overpriced and very disappointing.

   The Main menu lacks a good vegetarian dish. I believe no vegetarian person should find herself in a situation to stop eating a nonsense veggie dish and come home hungry.

   We love having you as our neighborhood restaurant. This was a great way to celebrate the life of our neighbor, who almost died one year ago. Thanks for making it special.

   Our server was excellent (attentive and knowledgeable), and the food was spectacular! We especially loved the walnut muhammara, the burrata, the roasted cauliflower entree, the burger, and the banana bread pudding. Party of 4 = lots of different dishes to share! It was a little loud on a Saturday night, but we were able to have a conversation without yelling. We look forward to returning :)

   Great little neighborhood restaurant with small to moderate size menu (about 8 main dishes) of food that is prepared and presented very well by pleasant and attentive waitstaff. Make a reservation or you'll have to come back another night!

   Overall had a enjoyable evening. We were seated quickly but it did take a minute to get our cocktails after we ordered. The drinks were good but bot memorable. The menu is quite limited but what we had was good. We enjoyed the chicken under a brick and the cheese burger. The highlight of the meal was the cornbread which was almost cake like. The server was pleasant but not particularly attentive and it felt like the food took forever to come out which was surprising since the restaurant was less than half full. The other negative was the noise level which was quite loud and made table conversation difficult without shouting. As far as value goes, the entrees were priced well with the chicken under a brick costing $32 and the burger $24 and both coming with generous accompaniments but extras added up quickly. Both the basket of fries and the cornbread seemed a bit rich at $10. Overall, we had an enjoyable experience with tasty food, fair service and fair value.
