    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

    Amazing food and amazing service. It was quiet at 1:30 with snow steadily coming down. We’ve never had a bad experience. This place is simply amazing!!! Love everything about it from the food, drinks, location to the decor.

    I wish Jason’s restaurants had more room. Both buttermilk locations are tight spaced and uncomfortable. The crab dip was great at the back bay location last year, but this year it was not my top fav nor was the dirty fries . The wagyu and everything else is always great.

    Food used to be a lot better (and portions bigger/more balanced re: sides/veg-centric options). Now it's oversalted and overpriced, and the service is pretty lousy (waiters who had no idea what they were doing, runners who took away dishes before people were done eating).
