“ Staff so pleasant and accommodating - set @ bar and I've never had that level of attention from A to Z! Wonderful restaurant and the consummate service was 2nd to NONE ”
“ Fantastic service and food, as usual. We felt very welcome as repeat customers. Highly recommend! ”
“ So, we've been here for dinner and absolutely loved it, but people told us to try the bar menu...which you can only get at the bar. Now, they also mentioned that the line starts early for the bar seats since there's no reservations at the bar...first come, first served. Let me say...WORTH THE WAIT IN THE LINE!!!! Cory, our server at the bar was truly amazing! He was so attentive to everyone, but what amazed us the most was his memory of his guests. He actually was making the "regulars " their drinks as they walked in the door. By the time they picked their seats, their drinks were sat in front of them! That, my friends, is impecable service!!! As a past restauranteur, I know how important it is to appreciate your regular guests, and give everyone an incredible dining experience.... The Button Room does just that! Cheers to the staff/owners!!!! WELL DONE! Even though we don't live in the area full time, trust me when I say, I consider us "regulars" now! You won us over!!! ”
“ 11-9-24 8pm reservation Open Table 1800th milestone review!!! This review is a pleasant surprise and definitely the best dinner we have had this year. As we are new to the area as well as South Carolina a new neighbor and friend suggested the place for us to dine at early Summer. Unfortunately at the time we could not get a reservation. I tried again for my birthday in September but even with over a month's notice totally booked. So I was totally surprised on an early Saturday morning when I went on Open Table and a reservation was available for the same day. Note they do take your credit card for a deposit for a no show. I definitely grabbed the reservation as 8 o clock was perfect, as we were used to eating later and it is preferred. As the day went on we got a call saying there was a cancellation if we would like to come earlier but hubby declined as we didn't want to arrive late as we were already prepared for 8. Once we arrived we were confused on where to park but noticed the lot next door. After we parked we could see it was valet so we tipped him although he did not take our keys and said he was packing up shortly. As we were greeted by the hostess she checked if our table was ready. We made our way to the table. There was two tables for two but hubby preferred the one closest to the wall not the one next to the bar. The hostess had to check if it was ok and it was. Now normally I detest a small table for two. However since it is a small footprint of a restaurant we were fine with it. Also the table was unusually long so that assisted in handling all the dishes we would order. Our server was spectacular. We started with cocktails and I ordered a speciality drink from their menu 15 Promenade New Amsterdam $13. vodka, basil, cucumber, fresh lemon cardamom syrup, ginger beer. Hubby had his usual Hendricks and Tonic. For appetizer I had the Foie gras $24. and the halibut $45. for the main course. Both were specials they had off menu for the day. Hubby had the Grilled Artichoke $14. to start and a 10 oz Filet $66 that needed no knife as it was soft as butter. Also ordered a side of Madeira Mushrooms $12. there was so much we took home the leftovers and added to our omelettes which was amazing. For dessert I skipped and hubby took a Chess Pie $12. with coconut home. The next day he shared a bite and it was delicious. Definitely a special place that is luckily so close to home. Hopefully I am able to get in here again in the near future. Note they are closed on Sundays and Mondays. The server explained that there is a line outside when they open for the 18 spaces at the bar. There you do not need a reservation. ”
“ Best bartenders and the best food in Bluffton!!! Probably the best burger I have ever had- very intimate vibe and reservations are HIGHLY recommended (bar is first come first served but fills up at 5) ”
“ We had a great time at this restaurant for their happy hour at 5 PM. I believe that's the time it started. We came with two friends who are locals and taught us that if you don't have a reservation, and you would like to eat here you can come right when they open and sit at the bar, they have a very large bar that seats around 12 to 15 people. But you have to get in line at the door before they open. The food was well worth it and my cocktail was delicious. I enjoyed the Korean barbecue chicken sandwich. It was a little sloppy to eat, but delicious. My cocktail was like a margarita with jalapeños in it or jalapeño tequila. Equally tasty. ”
“ Easily one of the best meals ive ever had. and I eat every day. shared a rare porter house with my brother. it was huge. juicy. dang! froi gras was a big disappointment, but ALL the other food made up for it. oysters, raw and cooked. delish! old fashion made right. nice ambience. I avoided going for a long time because I've met some of the people that go there on the regular and they're pretentious to say it politely. However, the ambience and our waitress are not pretentious, and the food quality matches the price points. an Excellent experience. ”
“ This was my wife's and my first time to The Bluffton Room although it certainly will not be our last. Everything from food to service to ambiance was outstanding. Our server, Dana, was extremely outgoing, enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the menu. She took us on a detailed tour of the menu since we were first timers and gave us her excellent recommendations. We started out with the grilled caesar salad and she crab soup. We think of ourselves as she crab soup aficionados and this was one of the best versions we have had in the low country. The soup had an abundance of crab and had a luxurious and smooth consistency. The grilled caesar was light and a perfect start. Next we shared a porterhouse for 2. The steak was cooked a perfect medium rare and sliced beautifully with some sliced mushrooms, pearl onions and a grilled tomato for flavor and color. The steak was seasoned perfectly with salt and pepper and was absolutely delicious. The steak also was accompanied by 2 sides and we chose mushrooms and brussel sprouts. The mushrooms were rich and earthy and accented the porterhouse perfectly and the brussel sprouts were a lovely green vegetable to go along with the porterhouse. They were sautéed perfectly and had the perfect amount of chew. For dessert, we had cappuccinos and shared the espresso creme brûlée. My wife said the brûlée was one of her all time favorite desserts and I agree it was sensational. The cappuccino was also fabulous. It was a lovely dinner and the pacing was perfect and relaxing. Dana led a service team that was outstanding and the restaurant is warm and charming with a beautiful bar and long window that makes for great people watching. A well deserved 5 stars. Look forward to being back soon. ”
