Incredible dining experience! Every dish feels like a new discovery with unique flavor twists. The truffle artichokes are a standout appetizer, and the short rib white bolognese is the ultimate cozy, perfectly executed pasta. The pork chop was juicy and seasoned to perfection. We finished with the carrot cake and Key lime pie, both of which were excellent. A very satisfying experience!

I’m honestly blown away that I’ve never been to Buckley’s before… because this place is phenomenal. From the moment we walked in, the experience was excellent.

We started with cocktails at the bar, and Tyler crafted some truly beautiful drinks. Thoughtful, balanced, and made with care… such a great way to kick off the evening.

Once seated in the dining room, our server was attentive, warm, and lovely. We began with the carpaccio and a fall-harvest style salad (can’t remember the exact name)… both were absolutely delicious.

For mains, we shared three dishes, and I genuinely can’t pick a favorite… they were all outstanding. The prosciutto-wrapped halibut with mushroom risotto was rich and perfectly executed. The roasted squash and broccoli over peanut mole was unique, flavorful, and beautifully plated. And the housemade pappardelle with shrimp, fennel, and nduja was perfection… fresh pasta with incredible depth of flavor.

Everything we ate was balanced, thoughtful, and just plain delicious. Buckley’s is officially going on my heavy rotation… absolutely worth a visit if you haven’t been!

Visited on a Friday evening – reservations at 6:30.

We had a lovely young lady who provided excellent service and a cozy corner table for two. Unfortunately there was a six top adjacent to the fireplace that were exceedingly loud. My husband and I found ourselves needing to shout at each other in order to hear oneanother. Several of the tables around us also stopped to the glare at the loud table. While not the restaurant’s fault, this issue could be resolved with some noise dampening (Buckley’s has ZERO).

This restaurant is so close to being a perfect spot for a romantic dinner – gorgeous decor, great service, lovely menu – but for the Sunday morning diner level of noise.

Food: we started with the truffled artichoke appetizer which was fabulous. My husband and I both had a pasta dish.

We finished off dinner and wine with a very tasty carrot cake and a fabulous cup of coffee!

Excellent on every account. We ordered sourdough and lamb for appetizers. A couple cocktails and a bottle of red wine. For entree my friend had the mushroom pasta and I had the halbot risotto. Delicious. We had chocolate cake and carrot cake for dessert.

We reserved dinner at Buckley’s based on reviews and it didn’t disappoint. We ordered the carrots appetizer, short rib pasta, and the pork chop. The carrots were so delicious – I usually don’t like carrots but these were fantastic. The short rib pasta was spectacular and the pork chop was very tasty. We also loved the cocktails thank you for a great dinner!

This is such a cute restaurant! The decor is so nice, and the service has always been pleasant and helpful. The salmon was delicious, and I also really liked the mushroom pasta dish. Would definitely recommend going, and it is easy to make a reservation!

Bad Taste in Our Mouth

We came here to celebrate a birthday and started with appetizers that were mostly enjoyable. The Caesar salad and empanadas were good, though the carpaccio was lacking in meat. The drinks were a bit off as well.
For our main courses, the burger was great, but the orincherti pasta was very disappointing. It had a grayish color, was sticky and hard, and not close to al dente. At $38 per bowl, it was unfortunately inedible and did not meet expectations for the price.
The cakes were tasty but served overly cold. After we raised concerns about the pasta, the atmosphere felt awkward, and the waitress could have been more attentive. Additionally, nothing was done to acknowledge the birthday, which was disappointing given the occasion.
Overall, the experience fell short, especially considering the price point.

You might feel transported, the place is so charming and cute for dates.

Worth it.

Tried Buckleys with my family tonight based on a recommendation while visiting Milwaukee. Ordered the fried artichoke, the empanadas and focaccia appetizers, they were all good. For our entrees we ordered the pork chop, chicken marsala and both my son and daughter ordered the pesto pasta. Pork chop and chicken were cooked well but both pastas dishes were very undercooked (seems to be a common occurrence as other reviews mention). They were not “al dente” but rather had a very starchy, hard to chew inedible texture so we brought it up to our server’s attention after the first bite, both dishes were lukewarm. He took both dishes back to the kitchen returning a minute later with an answer from the chef saying “that’s how they cook it and it is correct” which made for a very awkward moment. He offered to either leave us the dishes that he had taken back to the kitchen or that they could remake them. We asked for them to be remade since they were inedible, bringing the remade dishes about 10 minutes later when we were almost done eating our other entrees. The remade pasta was a little better but it still had a harder chew texture than what you would expect, I wouldn’t be surprised if the same pasta was just reheated, just not a good enjoyable dish. In hindsight offering to try a non pasta dish as an alternative would’ve been a better option if that’s how they serve all their pasta dishes. We didn’t say anything else since my kids were hungry and we were also celebrating my sons birthday, the overall experience had already been awkward. We did order the chocolate and carrots cakes for dessert which were very good. No manager came by at any point to check on the situation afterwards which I found odd for this type of restaurant and price point.

First time eating here and can’t believe I’ve left it this long! Wonderful experience from start to finish. From the truffle fired artichokes to the scallops and their house-made pasta, everything was fresh, well presented and, most importantly, bursting with flavor. The scallops were incredible. So tasty and tender with a good degree of spice in the dish. The lobster pasta certainly didn’t skimp on the lobster and was perfect. Finished up with a seasonal chocolate peanut butter cake and some Key lime pie that were also outstanding. I enjoyed the atmosphere. It was relaxed up-scale. Not stuffy at all but definitely not your local restaurant either. Staff were very good. Nora, our waitress, was attentive, fun, knowledgeable and efficient. A credit to the establishment. Had a couple of delicious cocktails for good measure. The curry gin gimlet was very good, but the house blanket was even better. So many good-sounding cocktails on the list that we will use as an excuse to come back again. Highly recommended.
