   No waiter was assigned to our table. After 20 minutes we had to find one and after that had to flag people down. The only time they came was to clear our dishes to move us along and take the check. The transition does not seem to be going smooth.

   Overall terrific. Fantastic modules en frites. Great cornbread skillet. Carrot entree was not to my liking but my friend liked it. Very short dessert menu could use another offering or two.

   The food was superb. There is a nice local vibe. The wait staff started to take away our food before we were completely finished. We said we wanted to finish but they had taken the utensils so we couldn't. This wasn't a huge deal.

   The food was excellent and the wait staff attentive- although there was a very long delay in getting our drink. No bread was served with our drinking. The restaurant looked a bit tired and the floor needed to be swept under some tables.

    We absolutely love this gem of a restaurant. We are from California & this has been a go to of ours when we visit our son who is a Boston College student. Everything is incredible but we always start with the delicious fries, cauliflower and Greek salad.

    Never fails to impress. The food (I had duckling, five stars), the service, the general manager (whose personality and "extra step" attention makes one want to return again and again.

    I think something was off last night. The wait staff was just OK and the Dodd was eh. I felt like I could have had that meal anywhere. The value wasn’t there and the menu sucked. Really bad options nothing I wanted to actually eat. No energy out into the meal just OK.

    Prices are a bit high. Some dishes are executed well (e.g., mussels), while others could be a bit better (e.g., duck confit portion was small and it lacked a sauce).

    Best dinner out in a long time. The food was amazing. The portions were good size but not huge which was perfect and saved room for desert! We had the burger, chicken and duck and all got rave reviews. Will definitely return.

    Went to Buttonwood for our anniversary dinner and it was WONDERFUL! The server met us with bubbly to celebrate and we had perhaps some of the most amazing cornbread (among other things) that we've ever had. The mussels & venison stew were delightful, and we rounded out with some sorbet. By the time we left, most tables were full and there was a nice buzz but not at all overwhelming to enjoy conversation & company. We enjoyed every moment, and appreciated not being rushed at all and having just the right amount of check-ins & kind service. Go and enjoy Buttonwood!

    The ultimate neighborhood restaurant. Had the chicken wings, burger (always a winner) and the salmon along with stuffed mushrooms, seriously tasty and the dates. The citrus salad with fennel and watercress is a personal favorite. Outstanding service.

    Food was delicious and all the wait staff was excellent. We had the mussels, salmon, stuffed mushrooms, gemelli, whipped feta and the cod croquettes. It was terrific. Our glasses stayed filled and when we wanted some bread to get every last drop of the amazing mussel broth, they brought us some grilled bread which was perfect. The restaurant has a nice neighborhood feel. We were friends who had not gone out to a restaurant in a while and it was nice to be allowed to linger.

    Service was great. The wings were delicious. My salmon was undercooked and raw such that the server had to take it off the bill. When I ordered it I was told it would be cooked medium. We also received our food well after a table that ordered after us.

    Excellent food - from the wings and feta cheese spread to the burger. Everything was delicious. They seemed to be short staffed and so a bit delayed with service, but people were friendly and helpful. This is the second time I’ve been here and will keep coming back.

    Covid has forced restaurants to alter menus. Buttonwood now has a very limited wine list and menu. The duck rilettes were really good but burger was meh. It was hard to choose what to eat if you don’t want the usual chicken, salmon, burger, etc. Sat at the bar and service was good.
