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.

Tried the lobster croquette and asian nacho as tapas tonight. Both were good especially the asian macho. The lobster croquettes were creamy ann's didn't seemed to be seasoned very well. It was not Market Priced so that was a good thing. Good service provided by all.

The patio is beautiful with both standard and high chairs available. And on top of their friendly service, the DJ creates lively vibes. We tried their delicious, beautiful and colourful cocktails and you can even order your drink at the bar and watch it come to life. Their menu includes great shareable bites, amazing for a hot day in the patio. Their menu includes main dishes are a combination of vegetarian and non-vegetarian options, Indian and Canadian dishes. We shared "Classic Bruschetta", "Avocado Cranberry Chaat", "Mixed Salad with Lemon Vinaigrette" for appetizers and they were fresh and tasty. For main, we ordered "Surf & Turf" and "Lamb Rogan Josh". We really enjoyed watching the chef grill our steak in front of us in the patio. For dessert, we ordered "Chocolate Brownie" and "Tres Lech Cake". I loved the presentation of the desserts so much I didn't want to eat them. Lol

Barra Fion is a hidden gem in the Burlington area. I used to live in the neighborhood and…read morecompletely missed this establishment and only recently gone with a group of friends. The interior has high ceilings and lots of chalk art on the walls. Lots of tables for 4s, 8s, and large parties. Looks like a great place to have family gatherings and group feasts. The service was a good pace, there was a good amount of food on the table at any given time and it took about 25-30 min from order to food at the table, we were one of the first groups in and the kitchen was probably still cold. By the time the next group (large party of 12+) arrived, things were much faster. The selection of tapas and main courses covers a large variety of proteins and tastes. Definitely try more dishes than you think you need. Our group of 4 grabbed 2 paellas (the traditionally and exotic forest mushrooms, go for the larger option), a "from the grill" option, and had the house made authentic churros for dessert. Don't skip the churros! They were huge and crispy and fluffy. Looking forward to hanging out with the same group here again. Maybe even stopping by just for the churros.

Fine Dining... casually!…read more When a restaurant delivers the best meals, with top shelf service in an intimate setting, you call that Michelin Star or at least recommended. When you do it effortlessly, you call that Buvette, a new standard in Casual Fine Dining. I had the most wonderful evening at Buvette in Burlington. Yes ... Burlington. Far away but worth the drive. Step in and friendly salutations are offered, along with overheard lively conversations of happy patrons that have been looking forward to a night out. It's been a long few years, and Buvette has spent their time setting up and after only opening 8 months ago, they are shaking up the dining scene. The home reimagined and constructed into Buvette is gorgeous. The passthrough fireplace, with Buvette proudly emblazoned on it, plays the center piece. The sunken sunroom dining area, the intimate bar, stairs to the second floor dining area all pass by warmth of the fire. And of course, opposite to the fireplace is the glass encased small collection of fine wines. Though Buvette is a Winebar, let's not forget their handcrafted cocktails. The owner was cheeky and named them after businesses around the historic Village Square of Downtown Burlington. From carpaccio to cauliflower bites, burrata to pastas, steaks to lobster, the names may be standard, but the food here is elevated to a whole new level. My fav? Obvisouly The Buvette Signature Share Platter! A mouthwatering board featuring steak, lobster, shrimps, lamb, and all the fixings. Whether you are here for vibes and drinks, spend some quality time with family, or a special someone, you really came to the right place. My night was amazing, however, take a gander at the menu before heading out. The place is casual but don't forget, it is Fine Dining. Bring your card made of metal... or someone you know that is!!! Downtown Burlington continues to impress me as a place for upscale living, and I think Buvette has given me another reason to perhaps make a move? Hmmm... CHEERS!!!

Having been back here close to a dozen times over the last decade, I can firmly say this place is the perfect combination of gastro-ingenuity and traditional staples done right. The vibe is "industrial chic," which is essentially code for "I'm feeling something fancy, but still want to be able to visit in my Kirkland shorts." The food has a heavy focus on local ingredients, with flavors that are incredibly tight and well-balanced. The steak frites are so tender I'm pretty sure they were cut with a polite suggestion rather than a knife. The scallops are meaty and perfectly cooked. And of course the burger is absolutely mouthwatering and make it the tempting default option during each visit. The appetizers are all fantastic, Kat and the Korean cauliflower takes the cake! For desert, their house cheesecake is phenomenal, and their in house amber ale is full and flavourful. Our server was on the ball; the water was never empty, and the check ins were always at the right time. Verdict: 10/10. If you want western food with a fun twist and high quality ingredients, this is one spot you must check out!

I would recommend this place!

I ordered the Pineapple Pick me up shot - 0.5 oz tequila, 0.25 oz pineapple juice, 0.25oz triple sec, followed with lime. It brings you to the beaches of Mexico instantly. I like it so much, I got a second. We also ordered a rum and coke. We also ordered the Halloumi Fries appitizer. It's a salty cheese stick with a subtle dipping sauce.

It was really fun hearing the sizzling sound of meat being cooked on a hot stone and being able to cook it to our liking. We finished our dinner with "Xango Cheesecake" and "Créme Brûlée" for dessert, which were good. We also paired our dinner with "Signature 88 Cocktail". The staff are friendly and helpful, the service could be a bit faster. They have a family-friendly vibe and the bar atmosphere is lively. There's ample parking spaces available in the plaza.
