   My friends were served their drinks and meals well before I'd even gotten my drink, and we had to ask our server several times what was happening with my meal. She was very nice but seemed new - could not answer questions about the menu, either. When my French toast finally arrived, it was rubbery and lukewarm. I ate about a third of it and found the texture too disgusting to eat anymore. Because my friends enjoyed their meals, I'm rating the experience "fair" instead of "poor," but I won't be going back.

   Food was great, but expensive and the high top we sat at was serviced by one of the bartenders. He was pleasant but not as attentive as he might have been.

   Very accommodating staff, food was out quickly. Staff friendly but slow to respond to the table. It’s tapas style so the table can get crowded fast, but slow to clear, to refill waters and drinks, etc. food is delicious and kind of creative. All items pair well too.

    Food served tapas style with food coming to table when it is done in the kitchen. For some reason, my oysters came after the other items ordered. Short ribs were good, not great. My wife's ahi tuna was a bit spicy, and the chips served with it were too spicy for her taste. This being cajun styled restaurant, it leans toward spicing things up. Beignets for dessert were great, reminiscent of those at Cafe du Monde in NO. The atmosphere is a noisy bar/restaurant that caters to the 20 - 30 demographic.

    Just getting together with friends for dinner. Too noisy to hear each other without talking loudly. Fried chicken was over cooked swardfish and the shrimp were great. Service was fine but as a whole, the experience did not meet expectations set by all the positive reviews.

    It was a fun place to try but service was pretty slow. Our server was friendly although there were long delays in getting our drinks and food. He recommended 2 or 3 small plates per person but we ordered 3 for the two of us and that was plenty. Tables are small so there isn’t a lot of room for the food. We ordered the cauliflower, fried chicken thighs, and shrimp - we enjoyed all of them.

    We were so excited to try a Nashville tapas bar. The food was just not good. All the dishes were blend (the buttermilk chicken sandwich and wings were missing salt and was so oily), the cauliflower was so spicy you couldn't taste a thing, so no balance at all. The one thing that was good was the ahi tuna. We unfortunately returned everything and the manager and the waiter were understanding and didn't make us feel uncomfortable.

    The service wasn’t great, waiter wanted us in and out- took our drink and meal order at the same time, never asked if we wanted more. He handed us the bill and that’s it. No thank you or how was your food. As we left we heard him tell the person he was training that he pushes people out quick to get as many tips as he can.

    Our first visit to Buttermilk & Bourbon will most certainly be the first of MANY. What a great place! Funky ambiance, great servers, delicious food, and KILLER cocktails. What more could you ask for? Well, ice in the water would be a good thing, but other than that - this is a wonderful place for a fun date, family meal, or special event with work colleagues. The biscuits are a must-have, the vidalia dip is to die for, the pork belly and mac & cheese is delish. We tried 8 of the shareable plates, and none disappointed. The cocktails are just ridiculous. Crazy good. Looking forward to our next visit!!

    poor wait service, extremely loud, they ran out of a lot of things. It took 20 minutes for 1 glass of wine to be served, in the meantime all our food was slapped on the table. When I asked the waitress about the glass of wine she was very rude. I wouldn't go back there again.

    Very good experience overall, excellent wait staff and food. Quarters are a bit tight around the bar and dining area - not well designed. Makes for some bobbing and weaving between staff and customers.

    We love Buttermilk and Bourbon, both the one in Boston and now the one in Watertown. Our only complaint is that they serve the weakest, smallest drinks ever. But the food is amazing...we especially love the fried boneless chicken thighs, shrimp and gator fries! The desserts are also out of this world! B&B has become a go-to restaurant for us!

    Food was amazing - we will definitely be back. We had an infant with us during our visit. The restaurant was very accommodating to allow us to have a stroller with us in the restaurant. However, it was disappointing to learn that there were NO CHANGING tables in the bathrooms to allow us to change our child's diaper. I actually had to bring my child back to our vehicle to fully change my child out of his full blow out diaper and re-dress him in a new outfit.

    The food was very good, and the service was fine, but the experience was not great as the music and its volume was more appropriate for a club than a Sunday evening dinner, and Jersey Shore on the tv didn’t help with the vibe. If the music were appropriate and at a volume where conversation was possible and no trash tv in your face we may go back, but right now it’s at the bottom of our list.

    The food was very good. Make sure you leave room for beignets with chocolate. The reason for my overall poor rating is the service aspect was horrible. It is a tapas style restaurant and we ordered 5 items. But instead of bringing 1 or 2 at a time, all of a sudden, we had 4 which were meant to be eaten hot but didn't stay that way long. The other issue was we were halfway through the food and we still hadn't received our drinks. I wanted my beer with the food. The food was good enough to give them another try but only one. I will not recommend them until I know they have fixed the service problem.

    The menu is great and the food is very good. The restaurant isn't large so the tables can be quite close to each other and we were next to the kitchen which wasn't ideal, but it is worth visiting.
