    Wonderful, friendly service in an extremely festive and Christmassy decor. The food was delicious and fresh as well. I very rarely order fish and chips, and The Burleigh did not disappoint. The beet salad was delicious as well. Overall, this was a perfect Christmas Eve dinner.

    This was a celebratory birthday lunch for two. We were promptly seated in our requested preferred location. The window-side views are unparalleled just about anywhere. Both the host and server greeted my wife by name and wished her a happy birthday. Service from Kate was professional and most friendly. Food was quite tasty. If I had to dig for a criticism, my wife's lobster and corn chowder was served at the same time as her lobster role. We did not think we needed to specify chowder first. I think the kitchen should have known better. This is not an everyday dining room, and if you're looking for a value meal, the value is in the extraordinary atmosphere and bold ocean view. This is truly a special occasion venue. We would do it again in a heartbeat.
