Everything was fantastic! From the person who seated us and patiently accommodated our indecision about where to sit to our server and the other staff who assisted, we had a lovely evening. The food was delicious and served fresh and hot, in just the right amount of time after we ordered. Our server, Danielle, was so pleasant and attentive from start to finish. Our second round of drinks took a bit long to arrive but the restaurant was busy at that point. Excellent quality of food and drink and portion sizes too. We also greatly appreciated the intimate atmosphere, and especially no loud music (that has become a problem at many restaurants). This was our first visit and it won't be our last; we're just sorry we waited so long to try The Buttery.

    Delicious fresh seafood! Fantastic oysters and the caviar and latkes is beyond amazing. Wonderful warm lobster roll which I substituted a green salad for the chips. Great dining experience!

    As always, it was a wonderful experience. It was my friend’s birthday and they brought out a lovely brownie with a big ball of vanilla ice cream and chocolate sauce on top for him. Not just a tiny little thing either! But the drinks were delicious and the food was exceptional as always. And I got a cinnamon roll to take home for breakfast this morning and I must say that was an excellent breakfast roll. All good and I’ll be back as always. I’ve been going there since they opened.
