I'll make this short. Lovely back yard setting, very nice &…read morefriendly service. Food was excellent, presentation was great. Well made drinks. We were 6 people, bill was around 380..with the tax, tip & recommended 4% for the kitchen staff, another 80 in fees, which kills me after traveling through Europe fairly often. So 440 total. Way to much for one drink each for 5 of us, no drink for the 6th, no bottle of wine, split 1 app 7 olives, no coffee, 2 desserts. Way too pricey. When did 34-38 dollar entrees become the norm ? I would never return for one reason..that 4% tip for the kitchen. Pay your back of the house staff from those $$$$ entrees. Perhaps another idea is to take a % off each $15+ cocktail and pay their kitchen staff with it. I have not seen this done in years..absolutely no where. During the height of Covid, yes. But it faded away rather quickly and left a bad taste in everyone's mouth. Also, I'd recommend lighter plates, those poor ladies hauling in those large & heavy dishes is not a good look.

The patrons are 40+ and the wavy, narrow, spotty font was completely unreadable. I thought it was just me, but the waiter said they've heard it before.

My wife and I went here for dinner looking for a recommended place with Italian food and oysters…read more(we were in a specific type of mood that night). We were very pleased with our experience!! Our waitress was great and very attentive, without being over our shoulder too much. I ordered some oysters that were fresh and satisfying, and I also got the bolognese which was great!! My wife got the lemon cello pasta - which she liked although she mentioned not being a huge fan of the texture. Certainly not a deal breaker. The environment was one of our highlights. An awesome room with great ambiance and space, good mood lighting and just a very clean sophisticated atmosphere. We are looking forward to going back soon!!

I enjoyed my visit to Dryft in Wellesley. The vibe was modern, upscale but still approachable and…read morethe interior was beautiful. The shopping center itself was nice and felt modern and clean. The parking lot had sufficient parking availability on a Tuesday night. I hadn't made reservations in advance but despite it being pretty busy, they were able to get us a table for 2 inside (there is some outdoor patio seating available). The service was friendly and helpful though not very proactive (but it was busy so understandable). The one major turnoff was the staff aggressively spraying cleaning solution onto nearby tables. That stuff can waft over to someone and set off an allergic reaction, it can get into food/drinks, and the chemical smell that lingered was not great for a higher-end restaurant. On the other hand, it was a clean restaurant! We got shrimp cocktail (they charge by the piece). It didn't come with the standard cocktail sauce - not sure what it was - maybe vinegar-based(?), but it was just OK - my friend didn't like the sauce at all but we thought the shrimp was good. We each ordered haddock with green beans and mashed potatoes. The haddock was nicely prepared with breadcrumbs on top and cooked such that it was still flaky, moist, and had a nice light flavor. Mashed potatoes were good (as other reviewers have noted), and the green beans were ok - maybe a bit undercooked. The team accommodated my friend's nut allergy by leaving off the almonds, which we appreciate! I didn't love the tomato confit but it wasn't bad. I'm glad that I could visit this beautiful restaurant! I hope that they can find a better way to keep the tables clean.

We ordered the steak app for 21$ and the amount we got was laughable. It looked like the amount I'd give my two year old. We recieved about 5 tiny bite sized steak pieces. We were shocked at how little they gave us for the price. We accepted it and waited for the other apps. The truffle honey ricotta bread app was just ok. The ricotta honey was great but the grilled bread tasted too burnt to enjoy. Okay, next app. The truffle fries, were the star of the show. Those were great! Now, our drinks. We ordered two lemon drops, and two other drinks (can't remember what my friends ordered) but we literally had to send them all back because they were just UGH and just not good.. at all. We felt so bad doing so but we literally ate our dinner with no drinks. Now let's get to the pastas... we ordered four different kinds. The chicken parm which was so bland, we had to send back. The gnocchi pasta which again so bland and not enjoyable at all, we sent back. & the truffle pasta which was just okay- very close to bland but edible so we kept it & ate it. Presentation of the wheel was cool. The last pasta which was mine the vodka pasta was amazing! We ordered two more of them to replace the pastas we had to send back. We didn't bother with dessert. We all agreed, we would NOT come back.

Friendly, attentive, and clearly skilled at what she does, she made the experience even better. Her margaritas were spot on, perfectly balanced, refreshing, and easily some of the best I've had. Between the great service, inviting vibe, and top-quality drinks, Buttonwood is definitely a place I'll be coming back to. Highly recommend stopping in and grabbing a cocktail from Kristen, you won't be disappointed.

I ordered the Bourbon Steaktips Tortellini -- tender bourbon-marinated steak tips served over cheese tortellini in a rich truffle cream sauce with spinach and red peppers, topped with shaved parmesan and toasted garlic bread.

Service was excellent from start to finish, and our waitress was attentive and friendly all night. They also have a very solid beer list -- seeing Maine Beer Co. Peepers on tap was a nice bonus.
