    The visit was great. However, tarnished by watching a group of young girls make dance videos (with us in the back) on the patio for 2 hours without manager intervention at a restaurant of this caliper.

    High quality food, great service, beautiful atmosphere. Whether eating inside or outside, we started with the steak tip app's, had a grapefruit martini, then ended with shrimp and salad and enjoyed every minute.

    Our waitress was very nice. We each got a steak I asked for mine medium rare. The steak came out well done and was dry. The sides were okay at best.

    The staff were very accommodating when my friend and I arrived a 1/2 hour early. The slow roasted prime rib was juicy and wonderful. My friend and I had a great time

    The food came out at room temperature and we mentioned it to the server, she said she would mention it to the cook, never heard back, brought it up again and just got a smile and the $215 bill. Will not go back.

    We had reservations, it took over an hour to get our food. The prices are high and reviews seemed good so you would think the service would match. I would never eat here again, it wasn’t even that busy.

    Our dining experience at Buckleys was in celebration of our 50th wedding anniversary. All of the staff contributed to an extra special occasion from the complimentary champagne to the Haopy Anniversary card, the exceptional level of attention and the superb culinary experience of their “great steaks”. Cheryl, the manager, was so attentive and -along with her team- went above and beyond. Their cheery and pleasant dispositions added to this special occasion. We will long remember and hold this occasion dear in our hearts! The staff at Buckleys know how to make a celebration extra special! Thank you!!! Lori & Joe T
