    We frequent Buckleys. The food, service, and atmosphere are always good. Last night however, we had an unusual experience. At the suggestion of our server,We ordered focaccia bread to start. We all began to eat it, and it was just plain cold. I asked our server if we could have warm bread. She said all of our focaccia and cakes are served room temp. I said that bread is not room temp, it is cold. Is there a way we can have it warmed up. She responded with a flat no. That was quite disappointing. Otherwise, our service and meals were great. We have had the carrot cake before, and won’t order it again because it came cold, not room temp.

    The food was phenomenal at a fair price while the atmosphere was superb. They boast a large selection of wines and spirits to complement any palate. Definitely would return in the future.
