CHEF MICHAEL BUCKLEY
Widely acclaimed Chef and owner Michael Buckley first entered the restaurant scene in 1995 when he opened Michael Timothy’s Urban Bistro, Wine & Jazz Bar on Main Street in Nashua, NH. Critically acclaimed for its upscale atmosphere and cuisine, Michael Timothy’s quickly became one of the region’s premier dining destinations. Best Chef and Best Restaurant are counted among the many distinctions awarded to Chef Buckley.
Prior to opening Michael Timothy’s, Chef Buckley cooked at some of the most prestigious restaurants in New Hampshire, including the former Levi Lowell’s in Merrimack. He also spent time in Europe working under a master chef. When Levi Lowell’s closed, Chef Buckley and his wife Sarah decided to open Michael Timothy’s.
Today, Michael Timothy's has transformed into MT's Local, featuring the same high quality cuisine, warm hospitality and a refreshingly creative menu that is keenly focused on local foods.
MORE ABOUT SURF
Building on his success with Michael Timothy’s, Chef Buckley opened his second restaurant – Surf – in 2002 just across the street from the urban bistro. Devoted entirely to creatively prepared and seriously fresh seafood, Surf continues the tradition of excellence set by Chef Buckley. Surf has been voted Best Seafood Restaurant in the state by New Hampshire Magazine’s Readers Poll numerous times.
Nine years after Surf's initital unveiling, Chef Buckley has opened a second location in the beautiful seaside community of Portsmouth, NH. Here, Chef Buckley will introduce his unique concept of fresh seafood to a new region of the state.
