The Bang Bang…read moreBroccoli was easily the highlight--honestly good enough that I briefly considered canceling my entrée and just doubling down on that. The bolognese was... fine. Not offensive, not memorable, just existing on the plate doing its job. The place was pretty packed, but somehow still calm. Lots of people, low murmur, nobody yelling over table noise--basically a small miracle. The beer list is huge, which is great if you like choices, or terrible if you're the kind of person who panics when offered more than two options. All in all, I liked it. Good atmosphere, great broccoli, and enough on the menu that I'd come back. Might even pretend it was my idea.

There were just some pieces that didn't really have chicken, it was just a crispy shell. The bartender came out and was very attentive and matched my vibe. By the time someone brought out the salad, I didn't see them again before asking for the check. All was well and good, successful lunch.

This is our 2nd anniversary coming by and they just make you feel like royalty. There is plenty of free self parking available. The inside is more masculine but beautiful. I've never been to a place that makes me feel like I am important like they do. We got the fried clams to start. They were sweet and well fried. Tender and paired with a nice sauce. We shared the 48oz cowboy ribeye. It was massive and presented so nicely. Last year I had the regular ribeye and prefer it but there was nothing wrong with this. You get to choose sauce or salt. We love the smoked salt and also went with a horseradish cream. We got fries on the side which were good but nothing compared to this massive meat.

My mom and I like to have a nice meat dinner from time to time. A few years back we stumbled upon…read moreThe Bancroft and it was excellent - so, she came into town this past weekend, wanted to do our fancy big meat dinner, and we knew The Bancroft was the place to go. I made a reservation for a Saturday night at 7:00 for two. Note: I originally went to make the reservation online from their website but the availability was not good, so I called instead. Online it pretty much looked booked between 4:30 and 8:00 - I called and was able to get 7:00 without hesitation. So, make note to call if you don't see the time or range listed online. We were greeted as we entered and checked in with the host/hostess. They were friendly and polite and told us it would just be a few minutes. They brought us back to our table and had us seated shortly there after. Our waitress was great; she told us about the specials, checked in on us, and made sure everything was as expected. We ordered some bevs that were very tasty and had great presentations. Speaking of presentation, let's get on to the food. We ordered the Tomahawk, which if you don't know, is a MASSIVE piece of meat. It's a steak meant to serve two people - in reality, it serves way more than two. The presentation of the tomahawk steak plate alone was beautiful! It had a whole bunch of stuff (see pic). They bring it out for you to see, and then they take it back to the kitchen to slice. We ordered medium rare, and probably should have gone more medium but it was not too rare so it was fine. Now, at The Bancroft, it is an à la carte style meal, meaning you order sides separately and usually a few for the table. We had the carrots (one of the specials), roasted potatoes, and creamed spinach. Forgot to say when you order meat, you also get to pick two sauces - and before anything while you wait they bring you some rolls and butter. The rolls started us off on the right foot knowing the meal was going to be phenomenal. They were warm with some sea salt on top and baked to perfection. The steak was mouth watering, juicy, and flavorful. The sauces added a great touch, and the sides were wonderful. It is safe to say, we did not leave hungry! As mentioned, while tomahawk is said to serve two, we had a lot of leftovers so of course we got those packed up to go. They were very considerate with the packaging, putting items in different boxes that made sense. We unfortunately did not have room for dessert but I'm sure it would've been awesome. The Bancroft is definitely a higher scale restaurant so it is on the pricer side, but it is justified. The food tastes great, presentation is there, and service is excellent. It's a great place for special occasions, celebrations, or just because as long as you know what to expect... but with prices today, I'd rather pay this and have it be worth it than what a crappy meal is costing today!

A cute bar across where you enter in and open seating in the rest of the space. Greeted by the waitress who also cheffed up my delectable, cheeky pints right from the draft spigots. Such a nice host who made me feel welcomed and recommended some great choices. I went with the special of the day, the pickle brined chicken sandwich with a side of chips and their charred scallion dip. The chicken was crispy & crunchy on the outside with succulent, juicy chicken thigh on the inside. That pickle brine worked wonders. The chips are homemade and exactly what you want from a crisp and that charred scallion dip was so addicting I was scooping the rest with a fork when I ran out of chips (would have licked it out if no fork). Vibes great, beers cold, food absolutely divine. I will surely be back to try more menu items (the pierogies looked money from another patron's plate) and to delete more beers.

We came on a Thurs at 6 and it wasn't too busy at all but definitely filled up by the time we left around 7:30. We got a few drinks and beers. For hearing about their drink menu, I was surprised that it was pretty limited list and they also didn't have any beer on draft, only cans. The cocktails were good but not outstanding. For food, we started with the chengdu chicken wings which were huge and delicious. Perfectly crispy and they had a nice sweet/spicy sauce with it. We also ordered eggplant with spicy garlic sauce, Chongqing dry hot chicken, house fried rice, shrimp/scallop, braised fish with napa cabbage and Wok Crispy Salt & Pepper Shrimp & Scallop. Standouts were the shrimp/scallop that were nicely breaded but you could still taste the fish and was well seasoned. Braised fish with napa cabbage was very flavorful and the braised fish was sooo tender. Also can never go wrong with the eggplant that was cooked down well but still had texture and a yummy sauce.

We had gone to see Encanto at AMC Burlington and planned to grab Buffalo wings afterward. It happened to be Women's Day, and the wait at the restaurant near the theater was incredibly long. We started looking for another option and ended up at Yard House. We've been coming back ever since. What has always stood out to us is the great service, family-friendly menu, and the quality of the food. The staff has consistently been welcoming and attentive, and that's a big reason we've remained loyal customers for so long. That said, over the last few years we've noticed a significant decline in the food quality. The service is still excellent, but the food just isn't at the same level it used to be. It's disappointing because this place set such a high standard for us. Personally, I'd rather pay a little more and see the restaurant maintain both its outstanding service and the food quality that made us fall in love with it in the first place.

It is primary a bowling alley but there is also a restaurant on the other side. There is also a gaming area. The service was friendly at check in to get our shoes. They also have socks available for those who forget to bring socks. The food was so good and much better than expected. We got a Kings Sampler Platter. It had Spring Rolls, Buffalo Chicken Dip, Fried Brussel Sprouts, Hot Honey Chicken Sliders & Korean Meatballs. Everything was great. However, the star of the platter to me was the Brussel sprouts. They were easily some of the best Brussel sprouts I've had in a while. I didn't know how they would be. But they were well seasoned and cooked perfectly. The spring rolls and buffalo dip were also favorites. We also got crispy pork dumpling and two pizzas. The pizzas were a good portion size. The Margherita pizza was my favorite. It wasn't too saucy. It had just the right balance. Now on to bowling. I am a terrible bowler. However, there was plenty of privacy between the lanes and I felt like I could be terrible in peace. The staff checked on us consistently and was kind enough to assist us with any questions. I will be sure to visit again when I am in the area.
