Had dinner here to celebrate a birthday and really enjoyed ourselves. The service was professional and attentive. The food was delicious and the menu was a fun spin on some traditional dishes. Will be returning in the future.

Very adorable spot in Natick center. I grew up in Natick but moved out so it's been interesting to see what they've built in the past few years. I'm happy to see a nice but inviting upper scale sit down restaurant in downtown. Although it's higher end farm to table it feels sweet & homey. Impressively fast service for a night where it was pretty populated. Ashley was great! The younger girl bussing tables and bringing water was also very efficient and friendly. The cornbread is always amazing. The whipped ricotta and lavender is a great touch. The oysters were flesh and delicious I wish we had room for more! The special of the night sweet potato ravioli in a sage sauce with cookie crumbles was creative and delicious. I tried the Higher Ground cocktail it was sour (but I love sour drinks) and great. The interior of the restaurant is adorable, love the color scheme and open kitchen. Feels very inviting!

Excellent food but they need to turn up the heat!!! If you have a portable space heater bring it along. Nice atmosphere though and great bar for dinner too!

This is a very good restaurant. The room was vibrant but not too loud. The drinks were creative and perfectly made and the food was excellent. Oh, and our server was patient, professional and fun.

Buttercup has been on my list of places to try but I haven't had any reason to be in Natick- until last weekend. Made a reservation for an early dinner on Saturday when I knew I'd be passing through. What a great menu- both the cocktails and food. I like to ask the servers to tell me about the menu items when I can't decide- my server raved about each dish but also differentiated to help me decide. I appreciate when servers know the menu and like/eat the food so they can describe it. I started with a-mazing squash blossoms and then the pasta bolognese for the entree. The bolognese was outstanding with 3 types of meat. None of the desserts sounded as enticing as the savory dishes so I had the cornbread for dessert (server's suggestion). My server knew I intended to take it to go but wanted me to experience the presentation (and take a bite) before boxing it up. Beautiful and delicious. Had two cocktails- one with vodka and the other with rum. Unique and refreshing. Service was friendly and attentive. Apparently the menu changes seasonally. They have a nice patio and comfortable indoor space with good music- not too loud. Great parking- street parking/meter and a lot down the street.

Upscale, New American in the heart of downtown Natick. Love the whole vibe of this restaurant. We've been to Buttercup twice now and each visit was an outstanding experience. The Crystal Valley Chicken is our favorite. Delicious and expertly plated (it so pretty that you almost don't want to eat it). Fried chicken is also very tasty. Lots of cocktails and craft beers to choose from on the drinks menu. The only bad thing is that we are always so full from dinner that we've yet to try the desserts (which look yummy). Maybe next time, we will definitely be back the next time we pass through Natick.

Was here on a Thursday night with one other person and had such a great experience. I ordered the beet salad and the sourdough bread to start and the spring ravioli for the main. The sourdough was great and the olive spread had great flavor with it. I also asked for some olive oil to go with the bread and I really enjoyed that with it. The beet salad was also well done - the beets were nicely seasoned and was a good size for a starter. The ravioli main had great strong cheese flavor and was extremely buttery on the outside. For dessert I tried the valrhona chocolate brownie and my friend tried the strawberry shortcake. I thought the valrhona chocolate brownie had a really strong chocolate flavor and was quite large for how dense it was - definitely would be best shared. I think the strawberry shortcake had a great strawberry compote and cream, however, the shortcake part was a bit more bread-like than I expected. Overall, I really enjoyed the meal and service and I look forward to returning!

I love Buttercup! The atmosphere is energetic, it can get pretty loud, but you don't care because you can still hear the cocktail shakers in the background. What a cheerful sound after a hard week! The service was flawless! Our waitperson was very attentive, courteous and friendly. Our water glasses were topped off with perfect timing. Drinks were served quickly. There's a charge for bread service ($10), but I didn't care because the crust had a nice chew and the spreads were delicious. We had the halibut entree and the halibut fish tacos. I love halibut and was not disappointed with the fresh fish and toppings on the tacos. My husband swapped out the mashed potatoes for French fries. We think that we make the best French fries in our deep fryer, but Buttercup's fries are as close to our homemade fries as we've ever tasted. Superb! We were so happy with our meal that we had to have dessert. Bourbon bread pudding was very dense but delicious! Served with vanilla ice cream the bourbon sauce just popped. I wish I took more photos but I was so into eating I forgot! We can't wait to go back to try more menu items!
