Restaurants near Silver Lake District

Outstanding food, service, and staff! Had the opportunity to sit near the Chef’s area, and watched the Head Chef direct the evening’s operations. Truly masterful! Each course was exquisite!

We had a charming experience for Valentines Day, and feel grateful for all your careful attention to the details of excellence.

Buckley's is well known in our region as one of the better places to dine, especially if one seeks a good steak. We were not disappointed. I got the sugar cured strip loin and my dining partner ordered the filet mignon. Both cooked precisely as we preferred (medium well). The preliminaries (bread with olive oil, a salad for my dining partner) were tasty without being too filling. The core meal was delicious. The server (Laura) was attentive and friendly. She muffed my beer order but I am not very picky -- she ended up crediting us anyway. Two of the five dessert offerings were sold out; we settled for the blueberry crisp, and it was excellent.

This is our first time eating at this restaurant since it changed hands and name. We always enjoyed our dining experience when it was Luca's and this time was just as good.

Overall dinner was fantastic. Alex was spot on with her service, answering all of our questions and bringing my husband a Birthday Dessert. The food was delicious but my only gripe is the portion sizes. I understand restaurants need to cost items appropriately but the size of my Caronara was embarrassing for $34. In a world were dining out is a luxury, it should also have the value in the dish.
