Beautiful facility on the water in Burlington. Attentive, friendly, and responsive service. Food was fine, but not outstanding. Prices are very high for what you receive. Piece of halibut in Fish & Chips was miniscule, would have expected far more for $30. Eggs benedict was not really Egss benedict as it was served on a piece of toast, not an English muffin. Nothing wrong with the food, but for half the price we could have gone elsewhere for similar quality and larger portions.
