If we recall the old saying "You get what you pay for," you pay quite a bit here, but you get it back in spades. T. J.'s is everything a fine-dining establishment aspires to be. Although you would never know it by looking at it from the outside (it's housed in a classic, old dining car), the 16-seat restaurant is... More

Whenever we talk about favorite places we have ever dined - T.J. Buckley's repeatedly makes the top of our list! We've experienced a number of different restaurants, cuisines, etc over time - but this is such a standout! It has been years since we've been back in that area to enjoy it - but just may have to make a... More

We had an exceptional dinner at TJ Buckleys in February. The pate appetizer with side condiments was beautifully presented. The salads were attractive and well seasoned, fresh and light. Wine list has a wide range of styles, regions, and pricing. The fish and scallops were spectacular and served with very creative foods all with its own flavors and textures. Great... More

Tiny restaurant inside a 1927 Worcester Dining. Twenty people would have maxed out the restaurant seating. The food is superb, incredibly fresh and perfectly cooked. We appreciated the wine and beer choices as well. You definitely need restaraunt reservations. The price may be high for the area judging from the reviews, but so was our satisfaction and we all agreed... More

We decided to go to this restaurant on a Friday night in November and we had no problem getting a 6 pm reservation. The interior is warm and cozy with the tables close together, an open kitchen and all around nice ambiance. We had a glass of wine each and I had the pate appetizer which was excellent and my...

An old diner from the outside -- tiny jewel box with amazing food inside. Watch the kitchen food prep -- it's like a ballet. Everything tastes wonderful and each item is beautifully presented too. Reservations a must; don't come too early as there is no free space inside to wait. A wonderful dining experience.

The food and atmosphere were both fantastic. Everything served was prepared with artistic expertise in terms of both flavor and in presentation. The service was excellent from the moment I called for reservations to the end of our visit. The salad was perhaps the best I have ever had -- and just watching the artists in the kitchen building the... More

This restaurant was a real treat! The food presentation was beautiful and my salmon was yummy. They have a "verbal" menu of 4 entrees which changes nightly and the cost is $40 (price fixed) which includes a salad. They also offer appetizers and dessert and serve both wine and beer. The wine selectons were very nice but by the glass... More
