Do you have vegan options?

Emily, this restaurant doesn't specify vegan options that I know of - however, my guess is that you could always modify the salads to create something raw and vegan. Good luck!

Can you bring your own wine for dinner? (I assume with corkage fee)

Yes, you can bring your own wine and NO corkage fee!

Can you bring outside food in for a picky eater?

I would call and speak to the manager to confirm but I'm sure it would be ok as long as you're ordering from the menu.

What COVID precautions does your restaurant have? Do all of your employees wear masks?

We were just there Sunday evening and not all staff wear masks. As best I can tell those in the kitchen were masked and gloved up but more than half of the waitstaff and hostesses are not donning a mask!

Burtons Grill & Bar

So, let first start off with the food and cocktails at Burtons, which always represents! I have yet…read moreto order anything that was not a hit. What really stands out with Burtons at Birkdale is the service! I have only eaten at a table once, I tend to eat at the bar. Like previous bartenders, today was no different. I had a great conversation with Sam this evening; who made the Pappardelle Bolognese recommendation. Great job Sam! She really made my dining experience pleasant with her conversation; without neglecting the other customers at the bar. As for the ambiance, it is always a nice place to dine. I am grateful to live walking distance from Burtons Management, keep up the good work. The staff seems to enjoy working at Burton.

Came here with a last minute reservation with my dear hubs the other night as he requested we go…read moresomewhere healthy. I was seated immediately while waiting for him to arrive. My server was amazing as we (Im)patiently waited for him. I ordered the roasted beet tower to start. Finely diced marinated beets with a thin slice of goat cheese topped with mixed greens and a vinaigrette. This dish tasted so fresh! My husband's only complaint was chasing the tiny beets around the plate (first world problems) I chose to have a cup of their creamy chicken soup. No rice, no potato filler - cream based, fresh chicken mushrooms and carrots danced around my mouth. Topped with Gruyère (I think) each bite was like a rich warm hug from grandma Our entrees arrived in a timely manner - him having the ahi tuna poke bowl. He chose to substitute the rice for mixed greens. He devoured the entree and noted the tuna being sweet for the longer sear - his fault, he forgot to ask for it to be cooked extremely rare or done raw, poke style as it was to be a poke bowl which is typically served raw. I chose the harvest bowl. A base of rice and quinoa topped with Brussel sprouts, beets, greens, goat cheese, and butternut squash. I chose to add grilled shrimp. Holy cow. I felt like all of the vegetables were home grown from the chef's garden. Perfectly roasted and seasoned. An impressive rice/quinoa topped vegetable ratio exceeded all expectations!!!

Everything came out hot and fresh, but it was all bland. My husband had the blackened chicken sandwich, and I ordered the Chicken Saltimbocca. The chicken was good quality, but I actually had to reach for the table salt, which I never do. To make matters worse, my portions were rather scant, especially for the price. On the plus side, my husband really liked his vodka lime ginger mule, and the fries were solid. My Arnold Palmer, however, was super weak and watered down. We also ordered a slice of Banana Fosters Cheesecake to go. The bill came to $85 with tip, which felt a bit steep considering the seasoning issues. What really ruined it, though, was the state of the facilities. The bathroom was putrid -- honestly, it was so bad it actually made me feel physically ill. If I were to eat here again, I'd definitely order something else and stay far away from the restroom.

The place is lively without being too loud, you can easily have a conversation going and not have to shout at each other. Our server, Krystyna, took our drink orders and offered to put in an appetizer to start. We went with the deviled eggs, these are so delicious, but as I have said before, they are pricey. Entrees were next. We decided on the Tomahawk pork chop with charred carrots and ancient grain pilaf. It looked like a caveman's plate! The chop was tender and flavorful and the carrots were 3 whole carrots that you had to cut up. Very different. The best part was the ancient grain side. So, so good. Nice compliment to the chop and carrots. I had to take half home it was just so much food. Next entree was the 7oz Filet with Parmesan mashed potatoes. Garlic butter was added to the steak which finished it off nicely. It was cooked to the right temperature and looked delicious. We were interested in dessert, but not something so big. They have a large portion dessert menu, but we just wanted a small bite to finish our dinner with. If you ask, they can do some mini desserts for you. We tried the mini crème brûlée cheesecake. It is two squares of cheesecake with a bit of whipped cream, raspberry syrup and berries. Perfect size for two if you are quite full but just want a little something sweet. Overall, the service was good. We had to wait a bit for bread, but not a big deal. We enjoyed our night out before Valentine's Day. I still would like to come in for their weekend brunch. Sometime soon.

Add in a good LKN location (Birkdale) with adequate / free parking and a comfortable contemporary interior design, you get a "high end" dining experience So, what's not to like You might ask... "Why not a 5.0 score?" In my family's opinion, 2 primary reasons - cost and service. As I mentioned above, food quality, portion sizes and variety, the Birkdale location, each contribute to a way above dining experience.... and that means higher costs.... so expect to get high end prices. As a result, we don't go there that frequently but we always enjoy our decision to go there. As to the servers point. I would imagine there is a line of experienced people wanting to get a job at c'cake. Wages and Tips are also high. Unfortunately, the result can be a touch of server arrogance or indifference. It's infrequent but it happens once in a while. When it does, simply inform the manager and they will address the circumstances. Remember, they want you to have the high end experience too.

Our party of twelve arrived at 11:30 am and we were told that we could not sit together as a group! We asked for the manager and we were told the best he could do was a booth and three tables across from the booth! We were seated at around 12 noon. At 12:40 pm we finally got a server to take our drink order! 30 minutes later our drinks arrived and we placed our food orders. Then we waited and waited! When we first arrived there were 2 tables next to us that were vacant, but somewhere after our food order was placed that two tables became occupied! Forty-five minutes after our orders were placed, I notice that those two tables had received their food and were eating it while our group was still waiting! An hour and a half passed and we were still waiting, while both tables next to us were eating their desserts. Finally almost two hours passed and our food orders arrived! The food was cold to luke warm or just incomplete! My order of chicken and biscuit was cold! The parmesan truffle fries that I ordered ended up in my lap when the server tried to hand them to me! My gfs Belgium waffles were missing the fruit, cream and nuts from the order! I returned my chicken and biscuits and received a luke warm replacement in its place. The fries were reordered and came out cold! They also sent out another order of Belgium waffles, but they were cold and still missing some of their condiments! Another member of our party order the egg roll sampler and out of the five samples, two of the rolls were luke warm with the rest being cold and hard! We ask for the manager and he came back with apologies and excuses! No other compensation was offered! My biggest complaint was the fact that we waited 2 hours for your orders to arrive, only to be served cold food all while the clear people in the tables next to ours had their appetizers, their meals, their desserts and their checks while we waited for cold unappetizing food to arrive! Shame on you Cheesecake Factory! We should have went to First Watch! #thecheesecakefactory #congratulationsclassof2026 #1stwatch

Went in tonight with my husband for a nice dinner, and this place has been on my "must-try" list…read morefor a while now... and let me tell you--it did NOT disappoint From the moment we walked in, the space itself set the tone. It's absolutely beautiful inside--warm, cozy, and intimate in a way that makes you feel like you've stepped into a little escape Perfect for a date night or a relaxed evening out. We were seated pretty quickly, which is always a great start. Our server, Ashlene, was an absolute gem Her sweet personality and warm smile made the whole experience even better. She was knowledgeable, attentive, and gave some really great recommendations (we love a server who knows their stuff ). We kicked things off with drinks I had the spiced cherry mule, and my husband ordered a margarita--both were genuinely delicious and well-made. For starters, we shared the artisan bread (perfectly done, soft with just the right texture ) and a shrimp cocktail. The only tiny note: the cocktail sauce was a little on the bitter/strong side, so just go easy with it When it came time for the main course, my husband kept it light, but I went with Ashlene's recommendation--the Cajun chicken pasta--and WOW They make their pasta fresh (HELLO YES ), and it was flavorful, creamy, and not dry at all. To wrap things up, we shared the Budino for dessert and it was the perfect sweet ending. We both loved it. Overall, such a great experience from start to finish. Beautiful atmosphere, amazing food, and standout service--definitely a spot we'll be coming back to

The stocky, middle aged man walking the floor all night, coming up to tables multiple times asking how everything is was....odd. Leave us alone to enjoy our meal. Go run food or drinks or maybe help season those awful mashed potatoes.
