    The restaurant was extremely cold. We first were seated in a room that was extended off of the bar area. We booked our reservation months in advance and we were still seated in a drafty room. And then when we were moved to another room on the 1st floor, we froze during dining. The steaks we ordered were fatty. We enjoyed our service but the entire aspect of being so cold will not bring us back.

    Good Afternoon Kim, Thank you for taking the time to leave us this feedback. It is only through feedback such as yours that we are able to maintain, and where necessary, improve upon the service and cuisine that we provide to our valued guests. While an apology will not alter the outcome of your experience, I do extend it with sincerity and hope to discuss your experience in further detail. If you wouldn't mind responding to us here, we would love to put our general manager in touch to work to make things right. Again, our deepest apologies for your experience being anything less than exemplary. We aim to give all of our guests the perfect dining experience, and would love the opportunity to do so for you in the future. Sincerely, Buckley's Great Steaks Management

    The service is outstanding. They moved us to a different table. Really went out of their way. Food is really good. The tavern area is full of energy. Too loud and the windows need to be better insulated. They might want to look at some acoustic material to absorb sound of the noise. Overall, though, a really good place.
