"The best part about Buttonwood is that it’s a cozy, neighborhood joint, but the food and service are wonderful enough that dining here still feels special. Chef and owner Aaron DePaolo’s menu covers elevated rustic American dishes like chicken under a brick with sunchoke pureé, braised greens, mushrooms, and marsala and side dishes like a cast iron cornbread with honey tabasco butter. The full menu is available at the big wooden bar, which is first come, first served seating. Dining room seating is available as well." - Carolyn Grillo
