    Lobster roll and sweet potato fries.
    Diane J.

    The New England clam chowder was very tasty. We enjoyed the lobster roll and the sweet potato fries. Nice ambiance and a lovely server.

    Brunch Cocktails

    Needing a place to eat close to the highway this jumped out to us. Not having been to a location of this chain before we weren't entirely sure what to expect. Its decor and overall ambiance/vibe was a step above your typical nationwide fast causual chains (we all know the spots I am talking about). As well our server explained they are a from scratch kitchen and also take allergies extremely serious which I believe is important and allows for a lot of customizing! Their menu offers a large variety and they have an extensive cocktail/beer/wine offerings it appeared too. Due to the time and day we stopped it happened to be brunch time and despite already having breakfast I couldn't complain, any time can be brunch for me! Although if you didn't want brunch they have plenty of non-brunch options and you could order off their all day menu too.I had the short rib hash and my wife got their short rib grilled cheese. Both were solid dishes, only negative food wise my hash seemed to not have peppers and only a single egg seemed to be a little stingy considering their photos of the dish show two. Lastly onto the only major negative and reasoning for knocking it down a star. Service was lacking in a couple different ways. Our server was not very attentive which I can give a pass for overall as being short staffed is tough in these times. But the real issue was our table was seemingly forgotten about food wise, as multiple groups near us received food much quicker with more people that showed up later. A staff member noticed this and we could see them investigating it and our order seemed to be on the completed side of orders despite that being false. They did seem to address it quickly as our food arrived shortly after, although no mention of the mistake to us. Overall though I was impressed and would return to give this location and the chain another try in the future.

    The Lobster Roll (Chilled) with a side of Parmesan Truffle Fries and coleslaw.
    Jeannine M.

    We were the lucky recipients of a gift card to this restaurant and we decided to celebrate our anniversary here with a dinner. All through July and August they are serving a hot or cold lobster roll that I had to try. It did not disappoint! Large chunks of lobster in a very light, barely-there aioli let the seafood taste shine through. The addition of fresh green onion elevated the dish imo and the side of Parmesan Truffle fries with a simple yet delicious coleslaw really made this a perfect option. Ashley D was our server and she did a great job checking in on us and getting our meals. My husband had a steak which was a bit more medium than medium rare but he still devoured every bit. The night we were there was not too crowded as we went on the early side. It was comfortable; when the weather is very warm some restaurants are unbearably cold but this was perfect. Overall a very enjoyable meal and great service. Despite other reviews, I think we will come back here rather than make the drive up to Nashua. Much closer and great food.

    Rib Ribeye
    Craig D.

    Westford has few if any higher end options. Burtons has a perfect niche. Recently, they refreshed the look of the restaurant outside painting it a lighter color and flowers. It didn't invest in consistent service. We have been unlucky - each time we go, the bar is understaffed. The waitress informed us that "only one bar tender is tonight." From the time we were seated to getting a drink was 24 minutes. Not what we wanted on our relaxing night... It's the inconsistency that is a challenge. Why didn't one of the managers help with bar? Why is staying such a challenge? Restaurant looked well staffed, but server took 10 minutes to get to table. Our daughter idea a server at Tavern in the Square, and they are reprimanded if not done in 2 minutes. This should be a tier above. Started with a chopped salad that we split. This has been a go to dish at Burtons for us. Typically, they slip into two plates, but not tonight. The ribeye was perfectly cooked and seasoned served with fresh asparagus. The mashed potatoes were simple. Overall, well done. The chicken piccata was a variation on the dish with 3 larger size chosen breast pieces (rather than thinner slices) with less of a lemon infusion than traditional. It was tasty. The old fashion was made with cheap marischino cherries and very sweet. Meh. No port wine after a steak dinner! Sacrilege! Asked for a limoncello spritz in lieu of after dinner drink - a terrible soda water and dash of limoncello was delivered. They recognized the mistake, credited both drinks and provided a correctly made drink.

    Old Fashioned and Derby Street Coffee
    Madeleine B.

    A very underwhelming and overpriced experience and meal. Vibe: American bar and grille, bar area and tables are seat-your-self, patio seating available Service: On the slow side, we sat in the bar area and got menus right away but took a long time to get waters and everything else. They do have the checks with a QR code to be able to quickly pay from your phone. Drinks: Partner got the Old Fashioned which he liked I got the Derby street coffee which was good but missing elements that are listed on the menu (whipped cream and spiced sugar rim), when I let the waiter know he said 'sorry.' Food: Partner got the California chicken sandwich which was very tasty, fries were basic. I got the Harvest bowl which was not good at all. All the vegetables were flavorless, I think they were all steamed/boiled and had no seasoning. There wasn't enough of the dressing to compensate for the lack of flavor. Value: Definitely overpriced for what we got which was pretty basic/not very appetizing/missing ingredients listed on the menu Overall this was not a good dining experience and the food was not good enough to outweigh the slow service and high prices. Would not recommend.

    Outdoor patio
    Sheila T.

    We came for a late lunch. Slow service and 2 misses (not available) on the wine . Our server seemed ambivalent. Love the outdoor dining area. Food portions are generous and they have a GF menu (large selection ). My meal was slapped together and was not prepared as described. I won't be rushing back. Too bad they don't have a a good GF beer like Daura or Omission Take note Ivey, I shared the preferred GF beers.

The food was excellent, with so many different flavors and options to choose from. They have both a regular menu and seasonal specials, so there's plenty to explore. We will definitely be going back a few more times because there are several other dishes we want to try. The service was good as well. It was pretty quiet when we visited on Sunday, so we are looking forward to returning on a busier night to see how the service holds up when the restaurant is packed. The ambiance is very nice too. There was dinner music playing at a good volume, the tables were comfortable and spaced nicely apart, and there is a bar with plenty of seating. I also tried a couple of their mocktails, and just like the food, they were full of flavor. My only complaint is that I usually order sparkling water with lemon, and they didn't have bottled sparkling water. Overall, we really enjoyed our first visit and are looking forward to going back and trying more of the menu. Definitely worth checking out!!

    It's been a few years since we visited Evviva. My sister invited us for the Wednesday dinner…read morespecial so we were eager to head back. We were promptly seated and our waitress (Darcy) was phenomenal. So kind and attentive. Three is us got the meal deal and everything was delicious. Salad, half entree and mini dessert for 20 dollars is a steal. We all brought home leftovers, so don't worry that the 1/2 order is not enough. It's more than plenty. Especially if you ask for bread-which is served with a(to die for) garlic olive oil for dipping. The cannoli are prepared fresh so the cannoli shells are crisp. We also found the dining room less noisy than in the past. Overall it was a delicious meal and we look forward to going back soon!

After she left, I waited for the blonde host to address me. She blankly instead stared behind me for a few minutes and I watched her confused. Is she high? I wondered but finally moved on when the other brunette host asked if I was dining inside. Yes, 6 seats and a high chair I requested. The high chair we were given had a broken belt. Later when we were seated I switched the chair for another one behind me. Keeping broken high chairs should be illegal. Anyway, I was very impressed with the children's menu. It was plentiful and had options for everyone. Each meal came with icecream as well :) The food was delicious. I split the hot honey chicken wrap with my husband along with a plate of calamari. The calamari dish and sauce was one of the best I have had in a restaurant in a long time. I was impressed. Anyway, the 4 star rating is more for the tasty food and having an excellent kids menu. Otherwise, I would have given this establishment a 3 star rating. We had to request waters to be served to us which was insane to me. Unless we requested a waters, our waitress refused to bring us any. It made no sense.
