Amazing service! Food was fantastic. Smash burger was smashalicious and the Spicy Vodka pasta was delish! Fantastic wine list. The Foccacia is tasty. My only recommendation would be to have it warmed up or fresh out if the oven would be over the top!

We were disappointed with our evening at Buckley's. We waited about 20 minutes for a table after our reservation time - when we were there early. Service was slow and out-of-sync (e.g. apps came before cocktails which were way behind the apps). Everyone ordered something different and everyone thought their food was just mediocre. The atmosphere was nice and our table was quiet so we could all talk, but that's not enough to bring us back to Buckley's.

Bartender super friendly and made excellent drinks! Love that they use large cubes so drink Does not dilute quickly. Truffle Artichoke appetizer was amazing. Pasta was served hot and flavorful. Burger was good but not overly flavorful. Fries crispy.

Everything was delightful! Wonderful and attentive server, Kayla - awesome! The food was outstanding - beautifully prepared and presented. Drinks were excellent! Love the ambiance and added perk was the holiday decor which made the space even more welcoming. We had several noisy tables around us which was a little disappointing for our table. Overall, however, a great experience and wonderful vibe.

From the time we entered the restaurant until the end of the dinner we had an enjoyable experience. The food was excellent and our waitress was spot on. Our waitress was aware that we had show tickets and made sure we were served in a respectful manner without us feeling rushed.
