    I had the chicken Parmesan and the portion was excellent. Our waiter Emiliano could not have been any more helpful and gracious. I was recommended this restaurant all the way from Florida, we were not disappointed. 👌🏽

    This was our first visit to Buttery. We had difficulty getting to the restaurant as their is only residential parking in the area and we are not from the area. It was also raining so we got soaked getting there. But none the less, the dinner was wonderful. Our entrees of a hummus burger and salad as well as the deep fried cod and fries were great. We also had an apple tart for dessert as well as some huge focasia bread which was a meal in itself. All good. We definitely will visit a gain in the future. I need suggestions for parking since I am handicapped.
