Best Restaurants for Special Occasions in Burlington

The food was wonderful; extremely flavorful, well seasoned, well portioned, and truly seemed like a curated menu. The cocktails were well made and the whiskey menu had some questionable pricing but I was able to find a diamond in the rough (GTS @ $25/oz) Almost everything we got was exceptional. The shrimp scampi fell a little short for the table though, the flavor was very good but nothing special and the portion felt small. The truffle Mac honestly didn’t feel like anything special but was good, not mind blowing, which is acceptable in my eyes for a side. The butter cake was HUGE and just absolutely stellar additionally it was large enough that it could’ve been shared between the 4 of us. What we ordered: The table ordered a round of cocktails/ pour of whiskey. Starters - Rock Shrimp scampi and Burrata Entrees - New York strip, filet, and Orecchiette Sides - truffle Mac and Cheese & Elote Desert - Butter cake with salted caramel ice cream

I’ve been to the Rubys location downtown a few times and was disappointed in the service and quality both times going.. the precint did NOT disappoint! Everything came out on time and hot and delicious. I will say the salads are a little heavy on the dressing but overall it was a 10/10. The steak was cooked perfectly and the flavor was incredible. Will be back !

The food was very good. We liked all of the dishes we ordered. The honey hazel nut goat cheese grilled bread and prosciutto arugula salad were great starters. All of the pasta is done well. I had the chicken thigh special for second course and it was fantastic. We each ordered dessert but they were huge. They tasted great but we had to bring some home.

The tasting menu was superb, our waiter, Tyler, was fabulous and described each course perfectly and enthusiastically. We will definitely return and tell our friends about this amazing dining experience.

I cannot say enough about our experience last night. Erick and Kumar did such an amazing job and never left us wanting. Big shoutout to Chef Tone and the rest of the culinary team as all of our food was on point! Thank you for such an incredible evening. We will definitely be back!
