Unlike the lovely service we had going there the first time, the service at the restaurant today was severely lacking. Our server just put our drinks in the middle of the table and we had to figure out whose drink was whose. When the food came out, my friend asked if they had a small crab fork. She looked at him confused and then went and got him, I kid you not, the largest dinner fork I've ever seen. Another server came to check on us and when my friend asked again about a small crab fork, the server explained "oh no we only have those large forks sorry." And then left. The food itself was great but the corn in my bag was BARELY cooked, which was really disappointing. The restaurant also applies tip for you so...do with that what you will.

Spacious on that side to hold big groups. We ordered the house sauce with 1/2lb shrimp, mussels, and snow crab cluster. We added also, two corns, potatoes, and a bread. If you are a weenie with spice like me- stay with the mild side. Was just enough kick for me. All cost about $55 (w/o tip); which is good pricing. The shrimps were decent sizing. Will come again to try their crawfish.

They also have really good seafood with lots of flavor! My husband and family really enjoy coming here. My personal favorite is the carne asada plate--it's always so flavorful and delicious! The only downside I would mention is that they don't have AC, so it can get pretty warm inside. Other than that, they have great food, great flavor, and plenty of options to choose from. Definitely worth trying if you're looking for delicious Mexican food. Not to mention there Micheladas are bomb!

My husband and I came here for my birthday recently as we wanted to try a new restaurant. The…read morerestaurant is classified as "fine dining", but you definitely do not have to dress up for the occasion; I read a couple reviews with people who put quotes around certain words like: "classy" and "fine dining" and I felt, in my opinion, it's not what you'd think- so take that information as you will and wear whatever you want. We made reservations online due to the fact that it was graduation week for Chico State and the process was easy. We were seated immediately, the restaurant is a little bigger than expected because we were seated in the back section of the restaurant. But - definitely small at the same time because in the front of the restaurant is the bar and right next to the bar are the bathrooms; if there are people standing around the bar, there is no room to move around them. (When we were there those standing around the bar were are barely aware of their surroundings and didn't move for you to get through) Our server was vibrant and nice, he made sure to mention the new items for the week and hyped up each dish we chose to order; he even remembered that we were there for a birthday (as I added this comment in the reservation). However there were little mishaps, for example : my husband said no anchovies in his Cesar salad... when the salad was brought: anchovies. Our server took all my utensils when he cleared our table and left me with nothing; he noticed and said: "I will bring you an extra fork for your dinner." - welp , no fork was brought.. We both got pasta: I got the shrimp Alfredo, he got the Alfredo and added meatballs... I raised my hand to try to get our servers attention, but that didn't happen so my husband gave me his fork and he ate his pasta with a spoon. (Don't try it). I think our server was just a little frantic. When we got our food we agreed that the Alfredo sauce was a little watered down with not much flavor. (Had to add salt) but they did give big portions. At the end of the meal, we got brownies on the house for my birthday, which was nice. Overall, will we got back? Probably not. But- we did see a video online stating their calamari was the best thing on their menu, so MAYBE we will go back to try that.? Who knows.

We enjoyed…read morehappy hour at Burban Kitchen this afternoon -- we enjoyed our cocktails and ordered a trio of dishes to share. The portions are big! The warm beet salad is practically a meal for two. Same with the calamari, which we could not finish! (My friend isn't crazy for the spices used in the calamari breading and dip, but I liked it okay.) Leave room for dessert. We recommend the cheesecake! Seating inside is intimate. There were only a few parties when we were there but I could imagine if the place was hopping, acoustics would be iffy. Sit at the bar to watch all the action behind the scenes. Outside seating is available and dogs are welcome there. Shoutout to our waitress Ellie!

We were greeted immediately and asked if we had reservations, which we didn't but was graciously seated in a very short time. Our server was at our table with water and rolls in less than three minutes. She took our drink order and had them back to us quickly. The place was crowded but service was excellent! I had the rib eye and my wife had the grilled chicken. The dinners included salad plus two sides. We opted out of appetizers due to the amount of food offered on the menu. My steak was grilled perfectly as was my wife's chicken. I ordered glazed carrots as one of my sides and received fresh carrots in a sweet glaze (perfect)! Wife had asparagus and it was perfectly cooked. I didn't get pictures of the food because there was a baseball game on one tv and football on another! Sorry! The restaurant interior was classic steakhouse with a nice bar. We will go again!

Sadly my $59 Prime Rib had a LOT of fat, much more than I've ever had anywhere. Also they no longer offer baked potato as an option so instead I chose "loaded" mashed potato and I liked it. I also liked my asparagus as a side. One of our friends also ordered Prime Rib and also overall wasn't that happy with his and the fact of no baked potato bumbed him out as well. His 4 small limp carrots had a massive amount of cinnamon on them. The side salads that came with our Prime Rib were nice. The Caesar salad (with shrimp) that one of our friends ordered she found to be very disappointing with a massive amount of very small croutons. The Chef salad (with added steak) that my wife ordered also wasn't very good. The fried pickles chips weren't as good as their former fried pickles and for $9.50 we expected more of them. Note that we went on Saturday June 21st, 2025 the longest daylight of the year however they no longer offer/do outside seating for dinner. For their overall prices I would expect like most steakhouses that charge as much as Lassen currently does these days to have cloth napkins however Lassen only supplies cheap paper napkins. We live 1/2 hour away in Chico and have decided we'll no longer drive all the way to Vina's Lassen Steakhouse.
