Salmon Romesco
Katrina E.

Very nice restaurant as far as decor and ambiance. However, the food is just average and not worth the price charged. Service was also average. For what we paid, we prob won't be coming back.

Top shelf Happy Hour Drinks; amazing appetizers and a patio to die for! Count me in! I've checked out Burton's once before and had a few drinks. They of course didn't let me down but I was so surprised on how great the food was. The Bang Bang broccoli was hands down my favorite. So tangy and sweet with this crazy crunch. The garlic butter shrimp were amazing and cooked to perfection. I also had the most wonderful garlic bread slices. Literally could have eaten an entire basket with or without the guac. Burton's has such an amazing selection of alcohol. They don't even have rail alcohol just top tier offerings. I enjoyed an espresso martini made with tequila which was absolutely perfect. I also had a desert flower made with mezcal, elderflower and prickly pear. Listen I can't wait for another. Huge shout out to Yelp for the amazing event and our server Peggah who was absolutely the cutest. Great customer service; knowledgeable; made suggestions and was super personable. Will definitely be requesting her when I return.

GF Focaccia Bread Service
Jay

I am absolutely blown away. Came here for a work dinner on the suggestion of a colleague. As someone who is gluten intolerant I have never felt more safe. They have their entire menu as gluten free options as well as a specific part of the kitchen for preparation. They also make sure to double confirm its gluten free when they bring it to your table, which if you have an allergy you know how much that means. The ambience was amazing and the waitress was a doll. I will absolutely return especially to the Cville location which is closer to home.

Steak Frites with bourbon shrimp
Sydney M.

Overall, great first experience. I enjoyed the steak frites with bourbon shrimp. I thought it was solid except, the house chimichurri was a cream sauce. Not mad at it but far from chimichurri (update: they changed the menu online to the bearnaise, so it's making more sense..menus are to be updated in the location!) my spouse got the pasta. He enjoyed it, I thought it was rich. We also got bread service which was enough for 2 people-that's it. I had two sangrias, tasty but could've been stronger. I got the chocolate cake for free since it was my birthday. It was good but I wouldn't buy it again. Service was kinda slow...and it wasn't super busy. My spouse enjoyed his old fashioned. I will be back but a few things could've been better.

Yummy food
Emily P.

Great food! Drinks were okay, would get them again but not my favorite. The steak was my favorite.

Halibut
Terry J.

Great location and really cool vibe that you can feel as soon as you walked in. Our server was very friendly and helpful. Start with the break, it was so delicious. One of the specials, when I visited, was Halibut, and the way it was cooked was similar to blackened. Every bite was great. Wonderful flavor, juicy and flavorful. There are a lot of other options on the menu that made it hard to choose, which means I will return.

Steak. Salmon.
Joyce S.

Outstanding. Food spectacular. Filet. Bbq salad. Margaritas. PERFECT . All of it. Delicious fifty % of wine night

Gluten Free Full Crab Cake Entree
Rachel B.

Delicious meal and great atmosphere! Walked in and hardly waited anytime even though they were busy. Our server was super friendly and attentive, but not overbearing. We ordered the lobster roll with truffle fries and crab cakes with a side salad and succotash. Everything was super flavorful and really exceeded our expectations- especially with so many gf options. Really appreciate how focused they are on allergies. Highly recommend!

Chicken and waffles and French toast nuggets
Milissa H.

I enjoy coming here every time the menu changes and I love that! Always great service I tend to sit at the bar most of the time. You do have to get in before it gets busy. They have outside and inside seating as well.

Anna H.

We enjoyed the service. They support allergies and food substitutes. Our meal was delicious. Great variety in the menu. My husband's steak was good. I gave it four stars because I selected chicken piccata and it was good but the chicken was a little dry. I would come back here again, especially for lunch because they have great salad selections in which you can add protein. Our waitress was friendly, informative, and attentive.

Crab Cakes and strawberry salad
Lena M.

There is a reason Burtons is always so busy! It's truly delicious. They have a huge inclusive menu (the gluten free menu has plenty of options). This location is in in the newer section of Carytown across the street from Kroger. There is free street parking out front (Carytown style). On my recent visit with my mom for lunch, we were seated at high tops. I highly recommend ordering the crab cakes. They are really generous with the crab meat and they are so tasty. We shared a yummy strawberry salad and the crab cakes. It's a huge space, but it does get a bit busy. Service wasn't terribly slow, but on the slower side. They have womens and mens restrooms here. I have to say their bathroom wallpaper has to be among one of my fave bathroom wallpapers in the city (after Little Nickel lol). If you want yummy and filling food, Burtons is a good spot.

Classic Burger, Side Salad
Zee W.

Had the classic burger with a side salad during lunch hours. Absolutely delicious and the location feels clean and the atmosphere is wonderful. Service was very friendly and asked specifically about food allergies which I very much appreciated!

NY Strip
Whitney B.

This is my second time coming in a row where my food (steak) has been overcooked! I come here way too much for this to happen. Service is always good, but the food has not met my expectations on my last two visits.

Did yall get rid of the scallops!?

We just launched our Fall menu yesterday, so the Scallops & Creamed Corn came off. We hope you try something new off our Fall menu and let us know what your new go-to dish is!

Did they really charge $2 extra for ice on a vodka shot?

Hi Jeffrey, thanks for reaching out! When you order a shot it's a 1.5 ounce pour. When you get liquor on the rocks, it changes to a 2-ounce pour. You are paying for the difference in liquor, not the ice.

Best place to get fresh, succulent deep fried oysters in a flash!…read more I treat myself to their dinner plate with bettered fried okra as a side. It's a bit of an investment, but the freshness and food quality is excellent. The wait staff and window folks are courteous and very competent. I've never been disappointed. I wholeheartedly recommend Sugar's Crab Shack for a delicious meal you'll be sure to remember fondly!

Today my wife wanted to get some fish and I was already down with the plan. We went to our spot…read moreSugar's and we were the first in line and had a short wait no more than 20 minutes since they started serving people. I ordered the just fish that comes with ten (10) pieces. Yes count them 1, 2,3,...10. Just like the Count on Sesame Street. Everyone is locked on right. I paid the money and the guy at the counter charged me for how many? Ten (10) fish pieces. After my short wait, my order was ready. The guy at the window showed me the fish looking golden brown and delicious. Hot piping hot. I said they looked good and ready for liftoff. Got to the car and my wife and I were happy at the time. After several hours and other stops we made it home. We live in Baltimore Md. A short 4 hour ride away. When my wife had unpacked the food and she asked me did I eat any fish? I said No? If I had she would have killed me before the plate got cold. She said that then they (Sugar's) did not give us piece number 10. The Boss was not happy and neither was I. Now I don't mind paying for delicious food and will do again. What I do mind is paying for fish that does not appear on my plate. I felt RIPPED OFF! If someone in the back of the house can't count to ten (10) and your employing someone who doesn't know how to count to 10, I am wondering what else is going on in the back of the house. Advise 1) Moving forward I will ask them to count them before accepting the finished product 2) Don't buy the Onion Rings. My wife does not care for them and she is an Onion ring person. Let's do this again but I'm bring the Count with me and the number 10 JUST TO MAKE SURE WERE CLEAR!

if you are going to read any of these dumb yelp review in full, this is the one…read more i once read an article describing the talent of the head chef's ability here to "cram so much bold flavor into a tiny dish". in general, i usually dread small plate restaurants expecting to pay a large bill and leave hungry. this was the exception. these were the most unique, creative, high end, flavorful, dishes i have ever had. seriously. the absolute best BITES of my ENTIRE life. i swear to god dormant tastebuds and flavors i didn't even know existed were provided here. the chef here draws spanish inspiration into each dish, and i was in there feeling like the food critic from ratatouille the way familiar flavors blended in effortlessly with extravagant flairs. and don't get me started on the presentation !!! everything was gorgeous. this restaurant was named #3 out of 100 in the city, and i honestly think it should be #1. i may be biased since my boyfriend works at a sister restaurant owned by the same guy, but this is definitely the favorite sibling for me. unreal how fresh, flavorful, and carefully crafted everything was. so so so so good. if you come to richmond, make this the top priority to visit. that being said, if you can't handle intense, innovative flavors, this isn't the place for you. also, go during happy hour

Hats off to the staff at Lillian who continue to be wonderful, but now that they have scrapped…read moretheir dollar oyster lunch specials, the food has absolutely nothing to offer. Like too many restaurants in the Scott's Addition area, this is seafood cooked without finesse and then absolutely brutalized with absurd amounts of palate fatiguing, brash, loud flavors. Every item on the menu endeavors to conceal mediocrity in the quality and handling of the ingredients with explosive, overwhelming additives meant to shock you into submission. Things like black garlic and chili oil, raw garlic, sesame seed oil, and punishing heat are inescapable on the menu, which really says to me loud and clear "we do not understand the appeal of seafood, and might have a fundamental misunderstanding about good food in general." I don't exaggerate when I say these dishes would be improved (setting aside things like inability to properly cook octopus) by scaling back the flavors to 5-10% the loudness level they are currently at, to let the ingredients speak, and to make the dining experience less of a punishing marathon with no relief. I have had much subtler and more skillfully balanced dishes at Indian and Thai restaurants, cuisines known for strong flavor profiles. I'm through listening to these Richmond restaurants trying to excuse simply bad food by claiming "that's the nature of the cuisine." In this case, Lillian claims that dishes characterized by these cacophonous competing flavors is "South American." No it isn't - the person conceptualizing the dishes is just a bad chef who doesn't know what he's doing, and at the prices Lillian charges, that's inexcusable. Drowning every dish in flavors that overwhelm the palate is not a way to respect your ingredients or your diner, and only communicates youth and insecurity. Anyone who's eaten widely and knows their ingredients will rightly feel assaulted and insulted by this overpriced, unskilled fare. To anyone who decides to go anyway: Good luck with the digestive distress, and with the taste that will still be left over in your mouth the next morning, no matter how much you brush your teeth.

We were in Richmond on a Sunday evening and traveling with our four legged friend. There were…read moreseveral options for outside dining and the menu suggested this was a good place to start. Soon after we. Ordered the octopus and mussel appetizers a storm came in and the rain fell pretty hard. Our choices were to run back to the hotel or stay and dine huddled under an umbrella. Being a little wet with beverages and good food seemed the better option so we ordered more food. The octopus was great. I have tried it prepared many ways and here it was both tender and flavorful, really done well. Shrimp cocktail is usually pretty basic, but often the simplest dishes demonstrate the most skill. This is truly one of the best I have ever had. The shrimp were plump and flavorful. Their cooking stopped at just the right time leaving a slight bit of translucent hue, but still cooked through. Very nicely done. The salad with home ranch was dressed nicely and the dressing was light. The scallops were cooked well and perhaps my only criticism is that the corn purée was better in concept than execution. I can't say enough about the staff. We were two people on a Sunday night crazy enough to dine in a downpour. The staff never made us feel like they wanted to punch out, embraced us being outside and were creative in waiting on us with umbrellas to keep the food from getting wet. It would have been understandable for them to limit the trips to check on us, but they persevered and made us feel welcome. If you are in the area, highly recommended stopping by, rain or shine, and sampling their menu. Nicely done.

The pan seared fish was moist, but the grits it came with were not crispy. The whole fish was also moist and tender, but the exterior could be a bit over-charred for some.
