    Very decent food, and the service is just right -- attentive but not hovering. Brownie points for not playing loud music -- you can talk there.

    We dined at Buttercup for the first time tonight. We had the pleasure of Anthony as our server. He was warm and pleasant. He gave us great recommendations and he was spot on! We can’t wait to return and we will definitely ask for Anthony again. Thanks for the great experience.

    Went to buttercup for the first time last night. The food was absolutely delicious and the server and host were wonderful. We had a 7:15 reservation and the restaurant was super busy so the hostess suggested we get a drink at the bar as we wait. I kindly asked the bartender for a drink menu just to browse while she was working on other people’s drinks and she was very dismissive and said “you’re going to need to give me a minute” in a rude tone. She then did not give us a menu for 5-10 minutes and when she finally did she would not even look my husband and I in the eye. We didn’t even get a chance to order a drink. It was very unpleasant and not a good start but thank goodness the service after and food made up for it. Would be 5 starts if it wasn’t for the bar experience.
