Everything was great. The table shared every plate and every bite was fantastic. I didn't hear one bad thing said about anything. Great new spot! Try it and you'll be back.

Loved the beer! Would return for beer and cheese board. The peppercorn steak was liked by my husband who rated it a 5, while i gave it a 3.5. The portions are great. Pro tip, the dinner menu starts at 4 so we missed the lunch menu by a few minutes. It's inside a little strip center so not very visible from the street. Seems like not a lot of parking available.lovely mural.

Can't say enough good things about this place Burley's Bistro. Went here for my Birthday dinner.The food was amazing we had appetizers, cheese board, Brussel sprouts, lamb meatballs, almond crusted chicken skewers. All of it was absolutely delicious.We had 18-20 people all of our food came out at the same time it was all hot fresh and delicious. We tried several different entrees and everyone loved what they ordered.They severed the kids first as they should have.Service wow I really want to express how wonderful our service was. These days you just can't find good service anywhere and to find exceptional service anywhere is unheard of.Well this place checked all the boxes of exceptional service.No one in my group had been there before with the exception of my son and every single person said they would be back.Excellent Food excellent service if you haven't tried Burley's Bistro you are missing out.

Amazing food, chef knows how to cook a steak and the staff is top-notch. They were so polite and friendly. Honest when you asked them about their favorite plate.

Had dinner Monday night at Burly,s, I had the whiskey sirloin which was awesome, my date had salmon with risotto, and the risotto was unbelievably good. The dessert we had was the brownie, it was like a work of art. I highly recommend this restaurant.

First time coming in to eat! This place was very clean, seemed as though it was a new spot, turns out they have been open for about 3yrs. The food was delicious it was light and fresh tasting not heavy at all. Service was great she was so nice and attentive. The only complaint I had was the coffee I had was not good at all. I drank half just to get some caffeine in me, but could not finish it no matter how many creams I would put into the coffee. Will definitely be back and bring the hubs and parents. The food is locally sourced it says that in the menu which is very cool to know.

Elizabeth our server was great! We made reservations before our performance we were standing at the Gallo, and there were not very many people there on a Thursday. It doesn't look like much from the outside. They need to put curtains up over the window on the right as it's an area they use for storage and looks very uninviting from the outside. Ambiance needs some work as they have great food and it's a good place for a date night. Just little things that wouldn't cost much could really change the feel. Putting up a divider from the bar area is one. They have a big conferance style dining room for a large party. We came on prime rib night so hubby had that. The mashed potatoes were unimpressive and needed seasoning. The prime was a nice big slice and cooked just right for medium rare. I had the halibut which was on special. The halibut was cooked well but needed a sauce of some kind. Not much flavor or seasoning so i used the awesome butter from the rolls. They are fantastic by the way, a must to order for $2. The asparagus needed the tough lower stems cut off. Otherwise it was cooked nicely. We had a cheesecake dessert on gingerbread with a cranberry topping. It was good. A few small adjustments and it could really be a dear place.

Excellent all around. Great food and excellent service. Prices reasonable. Ambiance good. We are regulars here. Food a little slow.

Great food and attentive service. A little pricey for my pocket book, but worth it for special occasions.

Food was delicious!! The wait staff was very friendly, they were there when you needed them but I never felt rushed or interrupted while enjoying time with my family. The atmosphere is laid back, with hometown vibe. The brownie with ice cream on top was phenomenal and fresh.Wheelchair accessibility: The parking lot had a small slope to it that made me a little nervous for my mom, but she said it was fine.
