    We loved Buttermilk and Bourbon! The food was excellent, the drinks delicious and creative, and the service also excellent. The value for what we had was very good, comparable to other upscale restaurants, if not less expensive than I had anticipated. We will return for brunch again in the near future. Thank you for a great experience.
