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.

Service was outstanding. Food was delicious. Had an array of appetizers, along with Caesar salads and pizzas. Drinks were delicious as well. Did their birthday package and that was a nice touch for the birthday we celebrated. Sat outside prior to sunset and was a bit cool as the sun went done and we did not sit at a fireside table, so bring a layer just in case.

First time in Providence and couldn’t have picked a better place! Sam, the waiter, was amazing, as was the food and the ambiance. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a good vibe and a quality dinner spot.

Attended the Afternoon Tea and was duly impressed. One of my top 5 teas I’ve attended. The food was the star of the afternoon and was almost too much to eat, but I managed. Lol
