The Buttery at Locke Store 2049 Millwood Road, Millwood, VA 22646

"The Buttery menu is very limited, what is advertised on line may or may not actually be what is available. Food is generally very good but overpriced. Service today was rather poor. Waitress had to continually return to kitchen to get answers to simple questions that she should know because the place is so small and the menu so limited. Environment of restaurant (cabin) is cute, but there's no heat. The portable propane heater set up inside the restaurant to heat the entire place didn't work. Plug in heater was brought in but did little to provide heat. Door to porch, where other guests ate, continued to swing open letting in more cold. The heating situation is very likely a codes violation on top of making high paying guests very uncomfortable as we all sat bundled up, coats on. Refills of hot water and coffee were not offered & when asked for were slow in coming. It was 24 degrees outside and probably 45 degrees inside. Restored building or not, today's experience is inexcusable. Bathrooms are located outside in a separate building, next to the kitchen. The good news is the bathroom heaters are high tec and worked, so you could warm up, but also hear the conversations, sneezing & coughing in the kitchen. The overall experience we had today was extremely poor. Ridiculously so, and quite obvious. Yet, there were no apologies, no amends. If a manager was on site, they were out of sight. In the Locke Store, it was crowded, overpriced and the deli counter chic was both rude and unattentive. Perhaps there's new ownership or management? The reputation of both venues here is well known, but something clearly is not working here. Previous experience was better. Not sure we will return, nor be able to recommend, as no one wants to experience this again, especially on a special occasion."

"Shhhhh don't let anyone know this is here.... Awesome fine dining restaurant with divine set menu options. This is a smaller operation with personal service and great food. The tables are well separated and the Buttery itself is an awesome historical building. Highly recommended. Make sure you book."

"My husband and I went here today for brunch to celebrate our first wedding anniversary and enjoyed ourselves. We dined in since it was quite windy, but are looking forward to one day sitting outside on their terrace! The service was great - Tatiana helped us and was so friendly. We both got the avocado toast with home fries and my husband got a side of sausage patties. Everything tasted fresh and flavorful! We're excited to come back for dinner in the future :)"

"Love this place! The staff was very nice and got us seated quickly. The mimosas are great and the Avocado Toast was both something new and delicious!"

"We had brunch here last July and it was so lovely. We had the gazpacho, pork bowl, and eggs benedict and everything was delicious! The atmosphere is so cozy. Really cool to have a restaurant like this in such a tiny, adorable town. Great service, too! We’ve been to their general store several times and my understanding is they share the same kitchen. I’m in love with both. Looking forward to returning for dinner (even though it’s a drive for us since we’re near D.C.)!"
