    This was my first time dining at Buckley’s and I was blown away by the experience. The food was exceptional! We had the truffle artichokes as an appetizer. So delicious. I had the pork chop with braised cabbage & sweet potato purée. Easily the best pork chop I’ve ever had. My girlfriend ate the short rib bolognese, and gave me a taste. Also delicious. Our server was friendly and professional. We took our desserts to go, carrot cake & flourless chocolate cake. We will be back!!
