Food is usually very good. Happy hour menu is great, especially the Oysters!! Service is a little inconsistent. Bartender waitress is not super friendly still a great place to go Especially when outside patio opens

My girlfriend and I came here for brunch to catch up. I was so engulfed with the laid-back atmosphere and great company that I forgot to take pictures of our food. The sticky bun appetizer and avocado toast were to die for. Amazing flavor, fresh ingredients. The staff was friendly and it was a great place to spend a few hours catching up. Highly recommend.

Dropped in for lunch with hubby and my wheelchair bound sister-in-law. Staff was very accommodating and allowed us to remain upstairs.Waitress was exceptionally nice and food was great. Their butchers burger was made as ordered and so good. Truffle fries excellent and the Meatball hero was great.Manager stopped by to say hello.Overall it was a very pleasant first visit.

The food was good, but "brunch service" being what it was, I wasn't thrilled on that front. Seemed like demand for a table was high, so my interaction with our server wasn't more than the "essential" interactions. Typically that'd be fine, but it being my first time trying the spot, I had questions that would have benefitted from more check-ins than having to flag down our server a few times.I think the bottom line is - more service would have helped meet some needs that otherwise I just hand-waved as "oh well."I don't know if I'd go back, but I'm also not much of a brunch person. Give it a shot if you are, though, because the food quality was great.

Butchers and Bakers did a FABULOUS job handling our party of 75! Paolo was exceptional with recommendations and doing everything in his power to make our event memorable. He had recommendations for a few of our gluten free guests-thank you to the chef-and he even added a requested veggie to the salad.Senay, Erin and Faith worked together seamlessly at the bar and as waitstaff.They even helped us pick up our pictures and tokens used on all the tables.Highly recommend B & B for their courteous, friendly, helpful staff and great food. Thank you for hosting our event and can’t wait to return. We have used Butchers and Bakers for 2 other events and will continue to do so.

8 of us went out for a good brunch. Although some of us were late, service still seemed to move really slow. The server was okay. She was nice and remembered to check up on us but she seemed like she needed a little help. Our food came out correct but we were charged for an extra plate and an extra coffee. Overall not a fantastic experience considering you will spend upwards of $30-$40 per person for a brunch. Won’t be returning anytime soon.

We were told Reservations are required for breakfast/brunch!First Time visit.I was hoping to enjoy some breakfast/brunch with my husband. After sitting for a couple of minutes an employee came over to tell us that the table was reserved (with no reserved sign). But never told us where to sit so my husband, then went back up the stairs to find an employee to ask them where we would be able to sit. They told him in the bar area. Then, when we went to sit at a small table, we were told “no at the bar”. Found two seats that were available, decided not to stay because everyone had menus in front of them and only one person had food it looked like a long wait for service so we left plus we didn’t feel very welcomed!

Too loud. Constant din impedes concentration.

We were very excited to try this place based on the reviews and the menu items but our experience was very disappointing. We sat at the bar bcos we didn’t have a reservation which is completely fine, no problem. But the bartender (a man with a cap) who served us looked like he didn’t want to serve us. Didn’t say hello, didn’t say what do you want to eat. Just came, stared at us, and eventually we started to give our food request bcos he wasn’t asking or saying anything. We had forgotten to give our drink order so we thought we will give it once he is back but he never came back. He was nicely chatting with the guy next to us but he never asked us again as to how our food was and if he needed anything else.We ordered the mushroom and focaccia bread, chicken and waffles and a pesto prosciutto pizza. This was the worst chicken and waffles I have had. The chicken was very tough to eat, sometimes felt like it wasn’t cooked. The batter had no taste, not even salted properly. Waffles was the only thing edible and the bacon that came with it. The rest of the dishes were only ok, nothing great. We were quite disappointed with the food and service. We didn’t even order dessert bcos our server didn’t even ask us if we wanted anything else. Some other server/bartender came and gave us our check. The check came out to be pricey for a horrible service and food.

Amazing atmosphere. Rustic chic with an upscale vibe. Caesar salad and calamari were a perfect start. The Bolognese pasta was fantastic and topped with a delicious fresh Burrata. Ended the meal with a delicious espresso martini
