Happy to have gotten a table during dinner time. It had been a while and was a good pick for a birthday celebration. Wine choices very ample for single glass. My proseco with the oysters were divine. Remember now why we don't go often - expensive even before COVID, etc. $42 steak comes to the table overcooked! Really? A steak place can't do a rib eye medium rare? Ergo the mediocre rating. The manager did comp us that steak. But it was my steak and on my birthday. I ate 10 or so minutes after everyone. Just incredulous that they got a steak wrong, when steak is in the name of the restaurant. Giving a recommend, but buyer beware of inconsistency.

Buckley's is one of my favorite spots for a nice steak. It can be a bit pricey, but it is steak so that should be expected. The Steak Tip Boa Buns and Spinach & Artichoke Dip appetizers are amazing! The steak is fantastic quality and very well cooked; if you are looking for steak, I would definitely recommend Buckley's. Also, they have great cocktails

First time going and I was more then impressed. The service was absolutely top notch. Food was delicious and thr atmosphere was really cool. All of our meals were perfect snd good sized. Plenty of options for everyone. I’m a big bourbon drinker so I wish they had a better high end selection but they did have a large selection to choose from so not a negative. Overall I would highly recommend this place to anyone

We made a reservation at Buckleys because we had an excellent dinner there if you years ago. This time the menu was limited To the point where my mother and I didn’t really see anything on there that looked good. She politely ordered whatever. It was not a classy environment like it had been in the past. In hindsight we should’ve just walked out after looking at the menu and finding the restaurant hot and stuffy. We did not get our appetizer, Our dinner took forever well the people around us who came after us were served. The restaurant offered a free dessert to make up for the appetizer but we Did not want dessert. It seemed like there was a lot of staff hanging around the front desk or seating guests. Our server tried her best but the people she had to work with didn’t seem to hold up their end of the deal. Buckleys is no longer a classy special place to go for a Special occasion. I wish we had gone to the Bedford Village Inn. We will not be returning or recommending this restaurant to anyone but his disappointment.

We were celebrating our 55th anniversary. Server was very attentive, friendly and polite. Spinach/artichoke appetizer was barely warm and the pita chips thick and dry. Our entrees, twin pepper crusted petite filets and filet mignon, were perfectly cooked med rare and served hot. The potatoes and vegetables were lightly warmed and quickly cooled. We both ordered coffee with the special strawberry desert. The very small cup of coffee was warm, but not hot. When we requested a refill of coffee, it was served in a little tea pot container. That coffee was hot and tasted delicious. The cake served in the special dessert was a little dry. We dined in-doors, second floor. The stairs to upstairs are very steep and narrow. The room itself was on the cool side and the A/C was drafty. Buckley’s steaks are first rate and delicious. The other entree accompaniments were disappointing due to the cool temperatures. When we decide to go there again, we will request downstairs seating and we will send back any components that are not served hot.

I have always had great service but the food is inconsistent to a point that I only order the burger when I visit. My latest visit I had a burger which I ordered medium rare. It came to me dry and a little beyond done, yet again, another issue. Fries were great. Prices are in line with higher end steakhouses but the quality is just not there.

We went for my birthday. The service was very slow even for a upscale dining restaurant. Honestly our steaks were over cooked but no so much that they had to be sent back. The side dishes were not hot. I had to send my potatoes back they were room temperature at best.

There were four of us that went out to dinner all of our entrées and appetizers were done the way that we wanted them done. our waitress was fantastic she knew her stuff inside and out and was very pleasant but when It got busy we saw very little of her. we get to the desert our friend ended up getting the creme Brulé when it came out it was absolutely disgusting waited over 10 minutes for the waitress to return she took one look at it and knew right away it wasn’t right waited 15 minutes for a new one??? other than that everything else was fine! We Will return to this establishment for entrées and appetizers definitely will not be getting the deserts there were there are two ice cream locations right down the street.

Ate in the tavern section with great service by Heather who was knowledgeable and made helpful recommendations. Food was very good as loved the sugar cured sirloins. The table behind us (4 top) was expanded to a 6 person table for over served, loud and obnoxious party from the bar area and were so loud we had to lean in to carry on a conversation. Next time we will ask to be moved; however, how is it that management didn’t notice and ask them to stop their yelling and loud conversations out of respect for other guests?

Our first time eating on site; we'd done take out from Buckley's in the past, and for my In-Laws 50th anniversary we wanted to take them for a really nice dinner. Buckley's was wonderful; our table ready for us when we got there, and they even had a card for them, as I let them know through OpenTable why were eating there. The service was top notch, the food excellent, and we all had a great experience. 10/10 would return.
