I've been to the martini house quite a few times. I can't believe I have never written a review…read morebefore. Love, love The Martini House for girls nights. The location is great - downtown Burlington, directly across from the public parking lot. It is always very easy to make a reservation - online or over the phone. They are also very accommodating. On more than one occasion I have asked for a table upstairs where it is quieter and every time they have been able to give us a table up there. Naturally, their martini list is huge. A lot of them come with some sort of candy in them - Jolly Rancher or a lollipop. My favourite is Ass Candy. It comes with cotton candy on top. So good! I've tried quiet a few of the appetizers and they don't disappoint. My favourites are: the charcuterie board, crispy calamari, braised beef yorkies, edamame and my absolute favourite ever - toasted almond and baked brie. I always get the same thing for dinner because it's just that good - the fig and prosciutto pizza with extra fig jam. I love that the crust is thin and crispy. There's a perfect amount of prosciutto. Honestly, it can't get any better than that! My girls and I always order a creme brule for dessert. It's a classic and always delicious! Love that they bring out a plate of cotton candy for the table at the end of the meal. It's probably half the reason why we come here regularly. Not to mention the staff are always wonderful and the service is always on point.

A nice go-to place for a fancy dinner in a cozy and warm environment. The food is great and the…read moremenu changes every once in a while so there's always something new or different to try out but the quality is always great. We had duck breast, seafood pasta, mussels, seared tuna and a creme brulee...and everything was perfect. Service is very inviting, friendly and attentive. I highly recommend this place if you're in the Burlington area either for lunch or dinner. There is parking in the area and availability will depend on the season and if there are any other activities happening near the lake. Regardless of what you do in the area, Martini House will be a nice and inviting place for you to go and check out for a meal or a casual catch-up with friends at the bar.

I got their beef brisket sandwich with sweet potato fries and it was quite good. Their sweet potato fries are a great texture and super delicious. The brisket was very flavourful and quite tender. My friend got their brisket pie which she liked. She said they used to have a fish pie that she loved but it's no longer on the menu. The rest of our table got their fish and chips. The potato fries were pretty thick cut and done well. I would say that they did make the pieces of fried fish look small though. Service was friendly and prompt.

Spectacular Canada Day!…read more I came to visit Canada during my 4th of July break and ended up visiting during Canada day. I hit OpenTable and found Sunset Bistro open for reservations, so I quickly made a morning reservation. Thankfully I checked OT because their hours on Yelp showed that they were closed! We both ordered coffee and the amazing Bistro Benedict and were not disappointed. The service was great, our server Jibran kept our coffee filled with coffee and kept bringing milk. The music was a little loud, but being only one of three tables this morning, it is likely more noticeable without the constant sound of other tables talking. I hope to come back again someday, certainly a great experience.

This restaurant is at the east end of Burlington's waterfront, very near to the pier. It opened…read more2022-09-30. It serves mainly Canadian/North American fare. Their food is of elevated quality and the service is good. There are two parts of the restaurant. When you enter, there is a bar area which is just average in appearance. Then you get to the main dining area where it is nicely decorated and plenty of light entering the area. The dining area is befitting of an upscale restaurant. We ordered the following: 1. Mixed Green Salad (small $7.95, large $13.95). 2. Fish & Chips (1 pc $18.95, 2 pc $26.95). 3. Baked Pistachio Salmon ($26.95). 4. Bread Pudding and Ice Cream ($9.99). The Mixed Green Salad has tomatoes,  cucumber, matchstick carrots, sweet peppers, onion, goat cheese candied walnuts, and tossed in a lemon vinaigrette. The salad was good but needed more vinaigrette. We asked for more and they gave us a container with more, which made it perfect. Another thing: we ordered small but they misheard me and gave us large. They were nice enough to change our bill to reflect the price of a small. We ordered two pieces for the Fish & Chips. The fish is haddock, beer battered, with fries, signature tartar sauce, and cole slaw. The haddock was plump, fresh, flakey, and tasty. The batter was crispy but a little too thick. My mother and son didn't have the strength to cut through it. The Baked Pistachio Salmon had a pistachio crusted salmon, roasted sweet potatoes,  warm spinach, seasonal vegetables,  and drizzled maple butter. The glaze had a strange taste. I found out that they put Dijon mustard on the fish to hold the pistachios in place. I usually don't like Dijon mustard it it wasn't overly strong. The mustard should be listed in their menu I think. On the positive side, the salmon was plump, fresh, flakey, and tasty. It appears that this restaurant serves good seafood. I will have to come back to try other items. The Bread Pudding and Ice Cream was smooth and delicious. It is a custard with raisins and rum butter sauce, with whipped cream and vanilla ice cream. The custard was smooth. I hardly tasted the rum which is good because I don't like alcohol. The whipped cream was fresh and light. There are 4 parking spots nearby on Elizabeth St that are free for 20 mins until 18:00. I happened to arrive at 17:59 and was able to park for free for our entire dinner! There is free WiFi. The restaurant is wheelchair accessible. There are separate male/female washrooms and they are wheelchair accessible. There are paid street parking and parking lots nearby. There are high chairs for little children. Review 2023-071

When ordering, I highly recommend pairing a small plate or companion with a larger plate! I ordered the Pork Belly Barbacoa and shared a small plate of Olive Oil and Rosemary Focaccia.

I had a strawberry crème brûlé with ice cream (great for sharing if you just want a little treat). Drink were great. I'm a sucker for anything with lavender.
