This was our first visit to Buttery. We had difficulty getting to the restaurant as their is only residential parking in the area and we are not from the area. It was also raining so we got soaked getting there. But none the less, the dinner was wonderful. Our entrees of a hummus burger and salad as well as the deep fried cod and fries were great. We also had an apple tart for dessert as well as some huge focasia bread which was a meal in itself. All good. We definitely will visit a gain in the future. I need suggestions for parking since I am handicapped.

I think this is the best restaurant food in Boston right now, really outstanding. The wine program is exclusively Greek, the list is huge, the grape varieties unfamiliar and unpronounceable, but the waitstaff is extremely knowledgeable and helpful. The restaurant struggles to keep wines in stock; I ordered two bottles that were not available that night. The place is crowded and noisy, the patrons generally young and hip, lots of fun.
