Such great energy and a happy vibe. Excellent service with a pace following our cadence of convo. Especially enjoyed the fried artichokes with truffle oil and carrot cake. Oh and the risotto special. Thanks to all at Buckley’s who make it so special.

I keep wanting to really like Buckley’s, but each time it’s just meh. From the cool/aloof greeting at the front desk, to the super rushed serving, to the kind of mediocre food, I just can’t see the hype. It’s pretty “meh”.

This was my first time dining at Buckley’s and I was blown away by the experience. The food was exceptional! We had the truffle artichokes as an appetizer. So delicious. I had the pork chop with braised cabbage & sweet potato purée. Easily the best pork chop I’ve ever had. My girlfriend ate the short rib bolognese, and gave me a taste. Also delicious. Our server was friendly and professional. We took our desserts to go, carrot cake & flourless chocolate cake. We will be back!!
