I will admit that I always have a better experience when it’s date night. However; my kids have to eat on Sundays and we had to bring them today. Ugh! Delicious food, exceptional service always!

Walking into Burrell was like a time warp back into the 70s. It felt like we walked into someone’s grandma’s house, from the picture on the wall, the furniture, the vintage corelle plates used to serve food—it was warm and inviting. The food was so delicious. Every dish we had had so much flavor and it was comforting, as if someone’s grandma or mom cooked for us. We did the family meal and it was worth the $75 it cost for the 4 course meal. I will be thinking about this meal until I can return!

This was our first time eating here. The service was friendly, and the food was delish! We ordered a small salad, and it was more than enough for the two of us. We loved the baked wings, and we had a made-to-order thin-crust pizza that was so very good! Great cocktails and a generous wine pour. We will definitely be coming back!

The Oakland Bramble cocktail was delicious. The service was impeccable. It was a bit cold inside the restaurant. My Spanish tortilla could have been warmer. My husband was pleased his burger was delicious and fries fresh and portion large! The panna cotta for dessert was delicious.
