We very much appreciated the actions Buck’s took to remove tables and improve social distancing in the restaurant. We realize this has a very real cost to the establishment. But as patrons we appreciated the actions they took to mitigate risks.

Buck’s is our go-to date night restaurant. The atmosphere is cozy, the service is excellent, and the food is delicious. Reservations recommended, as Buck’s is always packed.

We arrived on a very busy Saturday night and were seated as soon as possible. The hostess kept us informed of the wait and updated throughout as we grabbed a drink at the bar. Our server could not have been more prompt and attentive while allowing for a leisurely meal and conversation. She made excellent suggestions and ensured all food arrived as ordered and in a timely manner. Our meals were delicious and the preparations novel without being over the top or distractingly complex. A great neighborhood find, we will most definitely return.

Enjoyed the food, but the service was not especially attentive (yes, I would love another drink!). Conversation was difficult because of noise level and tables very close together.

Food, as usual, was very good, but the service really bad. We were rushed to order drinks, then the server disappeared for 20 minutes. When she came back we placed drink and food orders. No bread was offered. Meal came out <5 minutes after appetizers arrived. The server then disappeared for the rest of the night. Gone. Another server, who was wonderful, finally got us a check after we waited for nearly 30 minutes for our original server to come back. Never saw her again.

The food is a bit pricey for the area, but the quality is top notch. The ambience and staff are great. If possible, add 2 more entrees under $20 even if protein portions are smaller with more vegetables. Also, is there ever a HH or discounted wine days?

Food and atmosphere were great! We had an early reservation but we were very rushed through the entire time. We tried to slow it down but the waiter brought our check without asking if we wanted another drink and we were going to order dessert too. Very rushed! Party of four.....
