Buttercup - Natick

“Service was excellent, cocktails 10/10, and atmosphere was lovely. The halibut was cooked perfectly but would've liked a bit more flavor, and the fried chicken and fried green tomatoes were also cooked perfectly with a nice crunch, but definitely used the sauce on the side for flavor. The bread is a must and the dipping sauces were delicious. They have a kids menu and are kid friendly, and knowledgeable about gluten intolerance. The hostess was also really kind with my 8 year old. Definitely recommend and will be back.”

“Absolutely outstanding. We sat at the bar and watched this amazing staff provide incredible flavors consistently while being professional and friendly. I’d go back in a heartbeat. Order the cornbread then short ribs!”

“We had an absolutely amazing experience at Buttercup, from the food to the service. Everyone had been telling us to visit, and we’re so glad we finally did! The ambiance is incredibly comfortable, and the variety of food options is both perfect and absolutely delicious. Our waiter was wonderful—friendly, attentive, and checked in on us just the right amount. A word of advice: you absolutely need a reservation, especially for dinner. With limited seating, walking in could be very challenging. That said, it’s well worth the effort to plan ahead. We’ll definitely be coming back again soon! For the restaurant: we did want to point out something about the seating in the bar area. There are three two-person tables, but the middle table is extremely tight. We were seated there initially and requested to move, and we noticed two other couples also asking to move because of the lack of space. It’s a small detail, but finding a way to create a bit more room in that section could really improve the experience for guests. That said, this didn’t impact our overall impression or review—just a suggestion to consider. Highly recommend Buttercup for an exceptional meal and warm hospitality!”

“Really having an issue with amount of food we got for the price we were charged…my husband and I got take out (which I guess was a mistake) since we have a newborn at home. We got the wedge salad and we were charged over $20 for it which seems a bit much just for the way it was presented. I also got the short rib parpadelle which came with not a lot of parpadelle…i understand this is a higher end and I wouldn’t have an issue if there was better presentation and quantity…my husband and i got 3 things in total and were charged $98 (including tax). If you’re looking to get take out from buttercup I wouldn’t recommend it.”

“We went as a group of 4. We got a small table closer to the entrance to begin with. We looked forward to finally having dinner at Buttercups. We had made a reservation and I think it's important that you make one. The place looked busy. The drinks were good, the server was busy and alright ( kept it to the point since he was busy) and the service was moderate. At times we had to wait 15 mins to get a drink refil or just salt and pepper. We ordered the chortoree board- the ratio of cheese to meat was unbalanced - very little cheese, too little meat and my companion and I agreed that there was not nearly enough on the board for it to be worth $35. For our meals we ordered the fish, stake, risotto and the food was great. I had Bolognese pasta which was great. All and all it was a good meal but the prices were a lot. We ended up paying $120+ per person ( with alcohol ) and I am not sure if it justified the ambience, food and the service.”
