    One suggestion: if 7 people are asking for a variety of appetizers to share (specified "to share"), we suggest the servers provide serving utensils so we each can use them. We resorted to using our forks which, of course, had already been in our mouths. And our own knives to cut the biscuits. Not THAT much of a big deal, but it would have been considerate to have utensils for the "sharing" process. Food was good, especially the sliders and fried chicken and biscuits(yum) and beignets (also yum). Our waiter was responsive, friendly, and dignified.(Nico?) Did his best to accommodate all those people and all those dishes(!) We hated the music and asked if it could be turned down. He warned us that they would not turn it down. Wished we were outside so we wouldn't have to listen to it, but it was cold.... Folks at the reception desk were friendly and accommodating. Very kind. Atmosphere (except for the music) good. All in all we had a good experience...

    Best place around to celebrate a birthday. My wife can’t stop talking about the steak special. Incredible food, crazy good drinks and best service I’ve ever experienced.

    Honestly one of my favorite places. While not just like back home, it is as close as I can get up here. All that’s missing is sweet tea!

    The food was good; the service was pretty lackluster. We asked for a side of barbecue sauce three times from three separate people before receiving it. We also had to repeatedly ask for more water, for boxes for our food, to have the menus removed from the table after we ordered, etc. It was just very disinterested service.

    This was our fourth trip to this location (Buttermilk and Bourbon in Watertown) and did not disappoint! The food here is consistently well done a delicious fusion of southern Cajun style with some interesting twists. Highly recommend the Viet-Cajun duck confit, the buttermilk fried chicken and the BBQ shrimp. The cocktails are also tasty and the sangria is delicious. The service was quick; food is served tapas style so dishes come out of the kitchen as they are ready and they are fast! The restaurant is a little loud though; we had a hard time hearing our waiter and vice versa but other than that, its a great spot. We will definitely be back again.
