This restaurant is at the east end of Burlington's waterfront, very near to the pier. It opened…read more2022-09-30. It serves mainly Canadian/North American fare. Their food is of elevated quality and the service is good.
There are two parts of the restaurant. When you enter, there is a bar area which is just average in appearance. Then you get to the main dining area where it is nicely decorated and plenty of light entering the area. The dining area is befitting of an upscale restaurant.
We ordered the following:
1. Mixed Green Salad (small $7.95, large $13.95).
2. Fish & Chips (1 pc $18.95, 2 pc $26.95).
3. Baked Pistachio Salmon ($26.95).
4. Bread Pudding and Ice Cream ($9.99).
The Mixed Green Salad has tomatoes, cucumber, matchstick carrots, sweet peppers, onion, goat cheese candied walnuts, and tossed in a lemon vinaigrette. The salad was good but needed more vinaigrette. We asked for more and they gave us a container with more, which made it perfect. Another thing: we ordered small but they misheard me and gave us large. They were nice enough to change our bill to reflect the price of a small.
We ordered two pieces for the Fish & Chips. The fish is haddock, beer battered, with fries, signature tartar sauce, and cole slaw. The haddock was plump, fresh, flakey, and tasty. The batter was crispy but a little too thick. My mother and son didn't have the strength to cut through it.
The Baked Pistachio Salmon had a pistachio crusted salmon, roasted sweet potatoes, warm spinach, seasonal vegetables, and drizzled maple butter. The glaze had a strange taste. I found out that they put Dijon mustard on the fish to hold the pistachios in place. I usually don't like Dijon mustard it it wasn't overly strong. The mustard should be listed in their menu I think. On the positive side, the salmon was plump, fresh, flakey, and tasty.
It appears that this restaurant serves good seafood. I will have to come back to try other items.
The Bread Pudding and Ice Cream was smooth and delicious. It is a custard with raisins and rum butter sauce, with whipped cream and vanilla ice cream. The custard was smooth. I hardly tasted the rum which is good because I don't like alcohol. The whipped cream was fresh and light.
There are 4 parking spots nearby on Elizabeth St that are free for 20 mins until 18:00. I happened to arrive at 17:59 and was able to park for free for our entire dinner!
There is free WiFi. The restaurant is wheelchair accessible. There are separate male/female washrooms and they are wheelchair accessible. There are paid street parking and parking lots nearby. There are high chairs for little children.
