The ambience and service was incredible! The food was good, but not great. “Roasted carrots” came steamed instead, undercooked (raw), with no seasoning. Rolls tasted as though they came from a grocery store. Braised beef ribs were excellent, and the steak frites was also very good.

The Burkett never disappoints. This time around, the Caesar salad was perfect - well balanced dressing and the boquerones were a nice touch. Our main courses, statler chicken breast on risotto, and baked stuffed haddock, could not have been better. Both were cooked perfectly and delivered hot. The room is lovely and the service friendly but not intrusive. Stop by for dinner; you will not be disappointed.
