    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.

    Everything was excellent and our waitress was very attentive. It was a special night as celebrating an anniversary. I chose this restaurant as my 91 yr old mum had never been here. She loved it as much as much as me and my husband! Lamb shank, moussaka and stuffed cabbage all delicious!

    We got reservations here before going to see a play at Huntington Theatre (just a few doors down). Most of the servers seemed newer, and things got busy quickly, and I think that's when our tiny corner table got lost in the shuffle. Luckily, a more seasoned waitress (perhaps the owner?) noticed us looking around having already eaten our bread (with REALLY good oil & balsamic vinegar, btw!), and she immediately took over for the rest of our services with top-notch skills! We informed her of our increasing time constraints and she was on everything without an issue! We made it to the show on time with some very yummy food in our bellies!
