“The Cherry House never disappoints. Michael and his team deliver impeccable service in an elegant yet comfortable setting—fine dining without the pretense. We started with a crisp Caesar salad (the only one I've ever had that I can say compete with my father's - even Dad agreed) and a beautifully balanced Caprese salad with the freshest basil, both savoury and well-executed. Even the bread and butter were exceptionally phenomenal—a simple yet telling detail of the kitchen’s commitment to quality. For mains, the halibut was perfectly tender, the rack of lamb with scallops rich and flavourful, and the filet mignon flawlessly cooked with a peppercorn sauce that was absolute perfection. Each dish showcased precision and top-quality ingredients, all complemented by a bold, complex 2013 Brunello Monticiano. A silky crème brûlée and expertly crafted Spanish coffees was the ultimate indulgence to finish this exceptional meal. Consistently outstanding—sophisticated, polished, and always worth returning to.”

“Absolutely Amazing experience at Eddie V`s Burlington. We Celebrated two birthday parties at our table of six. The food as always was great. The Lobster Tacoas are filled with Lobster. The Steak Tartare is made Table SIde and is perfectly prepared. Our Ribeye Steaks and Filets were cooked exactly how we like it. Our server , Matt, was professional, friendly and knowledgable about the food and wine. The drinks and Wine list are spot on. Great Ambiance, Food and Sevice. It is one the Best Restaurants in the Boston Area. Chuck and Denise”

“We cannot say enough about our experience at Pepe and Lela’s tonight. We almost cancelled because of the snow but thankfully we didn’t because it was one of the best meals we have had in a very long time. From start to finish, everything was perfect. The food is all house-made, authentic and absolutely delicious. Our server, Amanda was literally the best. She was friendly, engaging, funny, knowledgeable and so accommodating. It is so refreshing to go out for a meal and enjoy every minute of the entire experience. Everyone should try this gem- you won’t be disappointed.”

“Wow! My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed a Friday night dinner at the quaint Downtown Bistro & Grill, Burlington. Excellent, very personable service and fantastic food. I started with a Caesar Salad that was huge and garlickly delicious. My wife had baked brie which was also tasty. She also enjoyed her Beef Tenderloin but the show stopper was my main. A phenomenal, unctuous and exceptionally tender beer braised beef short rib with mashed and seasonal vegetables. Fantastic!!! Highly recommended!!!”

The atmosphere and ambiance was intimate and classy. But let’s talk about the FOOD! Ugh! I splurged and tried the certified A5 Kobe, and it did not disappoint! It was incredibly buttery, tender, and perfectly cooked to temp, I couldn’t get enough. We’ve been to Japan and had A5 Kobe and Wagyu, and this was right up top with the cuts we had there. The sides were nothing short of phenomenal! We also had the sushi assortment with maki, nigiri and sashimi and it was mouth watering. I wish we lived right next door to this place, but I guess it’s better for my wallet that we don’t. If you’re considering eating here, DO IT!”

The restaurant was kinda dirty though. Food on tables and chairs like ketchup and sauces and lots of sticky seats.
I realized that we arrived 20min after family night so thats probably why. The bathroom was messy too but again family night probably played a factor in that.”

“A Hidden Gem in Burlington – Sushi Masayuki
It was a pleasant surprise to discover Sushi Masayuki, an authentic Japanese restaurant tucked away in Burlington. I had the pleasure of enjoying their Omakase dinner ($140), which included an impressive 16 beautifully crafted dishes, each showcasing incredible attention to detail and freshness.
The quality of the fish was outstanding—delicate, flavourful, and expertly prepared. Every plate was a visual delight, artfully presented and thoughtfully balanced. I also opted for the sake flight ($15), which was a perfect pairing and added an extra dimension to the dining experience.
What truly set the evening apart was the personal and exceptional service. The staff made the experience feel warm and intimate, taking time to explain each dish and engage with guests in a genuine way.
Sushi Masayuki is a true gem for lovers of Japanese cuisine and a must-visit for anyone in the area looking for an elevated dining experience. I’ll definitely be returning!”

“Everything about this place is amazing. The people who work here, the cooks, the atmosphere (when indoor dining is allowed), and of course the food. The waitress who works here, I don’t know her name, but she is absolutely amazing. She is just THE sweetest person you’ll ever meet. She restores my faith in humanity everytime I come here. The food is always incredible, always tasty, fresh and full of flavour. There’s a handful of vegan options, the onion bhajis are my absolute favourite and I have the utmost faith and trust in Prince Of India when it comes to the knowledge of food restrictions, they ask how spicy you want your dish (mild, medium or spicy) and they really do give great sized portions. You even get a discount on your meal when you dine in, which is such a nice bonus. I recommend Prince Of India to everyone I talk to, quite literally. If you’re looking for authentic food, and even further, authentic people, this is the place.”

“It was great. Our server was fantastic and so accommodating. We sat outside bc we had a dog and she had to keep coming out into the cold to assist us. The good was delicious. The only down side was the actual patio area did not have near enough heat to sit outside. It was so windy and no protection from the wind. When we made the reservation it said it was dog friendly but sitting outside was not mentioned as our only option nor was the lack of heat or protection from the cold wind was not mentioned either. Maybe dog friendly during warmer months should be listed for clarification.”

“One of our favorite premium burger restaurants!!
We have visited several Works Restaurants locations, and the Burlington location was excellent.

“Fantastic experience at Kelseys on Thursday night which happens to be wing night! We enjoyed top notch nachos and two kinds of wings. Both were sooooo good! FYI the guacamole was excellent- meaning REAL , HOMEMADE and limey, not the creamy kind you get at most places. Tina, the manager, chatted with us and we told her we love going there for the 'see above' plus the Humble and Fred (funny and informative) podcasters appearances since Kelseys is one of their sponsors. Excellent service too! A definite 'go to' for sinful snacks:)”

“A Hidden Gem in Burlington – Sushi Masayuki
It was a pleasant surprise to discover Sushi Masayuki, an authentic Japanese restaurant tucked away in Burlington. I had the pleasure of enjoying their Omakase dinner ($140), which included an impressive 16 beautifully crafted dishes, each showcasing incredible attention to detail and freshness.
The quality of the fish was outstanding—delicate, flavourful, and expertly prepared. Every plate was a visual delight, artfully presented and thoughtfully balanced. I also opted for the sake flight ($15), which was a perfect pairing and added an extra dimension to the dining experience.
What truly set the evening apart was the personal and exceptional service. The staff made the experience feel warm and intimate, taking time to explain each dish and engage with guests in a genuine way.
Sushi Masayuki is a true gem for lovers of Japanese cuisine and a must-visit for anyone in the area looking for an elevated dining experience. I’ll definitely be returning!”

“We stumbled upon this gem when visiting Burlington before heading to a Blue Jays game. The food was fantastic and the atmosphere was great. Our server was friendly and helpful. The fish and chips were perfect and the beef dip was delicious. The mashed potatoes and gravy were giving me Sunday dinners at gramma’s feels and could be a meal on their own.”

“Amazing food, exceptionally caring and attentive staff. The people here go out of there way to make sure customers are happy, comfortable and taken care of. Tonight I ordered through uber eats and accidently canceled the order, UE. Charged a 95% cancelation fee to my CC without telling me.. when I noticed the charge on my card, I spoke to Uber eats who refused to refund the "cancelation fee", and would not place a reorder without me paying again (double charge) for the original order. I ended up driving to the restaurant and told them of the situation and they made sure I was taken care of. They fufulied my order without knowing if UE would give them the money they are owed. I absolutely recommend this place and have ordered from them many times, every single time the food is incredible. If you're looking for a nice night out, or take out food, you can't go wrong with August 8 Burlington!”

Juice • $$
“I’ve chosen Total cleanse for the last 13 years as a reliable way to clean up my diet and give myself some motivation to get back on track with healthy eating. I always lose a few pounds and feel really energized and clear headed during and afterwards. My favourite is the Creamy Cashew at end of the day, never has a drink felt more satiating and worth the wait. Juices are always well packaged, consistently fresh and it is so convenient to get them delivered. Would definitely recommend.”

When I arrived to pick up my food, everything was ready and packaged perfectly. Tirth greeted me with a warm smile, making the experience even more pleasant. It’s rare to encounter such dedication to customer satisfaction, especially with takeout.
If you’re looking for delicious pizza and outstanding service.”

“After almost a year, I finally had an amazing get-together with my friends at Spencer's — and it was absolutely worth the wait. I started with a dozen fresh oysters and a glass of Palmer Champagne, followed by a Nova Scotia lobster roll that was simply outstanding. The food, the atmosphere, and the whole experience were perfect. Definitely one of the best brunches I've had in a long time.”

“Chicken wings are the best! Good deals on mini-pitchers….. TVs and viewing experience are not to the level of QBs in Burlington and the friendliness of the waitresses left a lot to be desired. We had 5 people for 2 full football games + Leafs and it was almost like we were bothering them for service.”

“One night this past week, while staying at the Waterfront Hotel, I walked around the area looking for an inexpensive, fast restaurant to buy dinner to bring back to my room. I saw someone go into Sandwich Station so I eventually ended up there too. Glad I did! Very pleasant man at the counter, the portobello mushroom sandwich was delicious, so was the tomato and basil soup (which came with garlic bread), my husband loved the meatball sandwich, said it was one of the best ones he’s had. The prices were very reasonable, especially for the location, and as a vegetarian I was pleased to see several interesting options available. Also, there are lots of tables if you choose to eat there.”

“The restaurant was very nice, the server was also very nice although she forgot to grab us a couple things. The wait times are relatively long say 30 minutes to one hour. I think the place needs more staff due to a couple servers doing everything and is why people have to wait a long time. The people who sat next to us waited at least a hour and Noone came to them so they left without drinks or anything that was not good to see. Think just needs to be run better. I also work in hospitality so I know how tough things can get. Food quality is what I expected, nothing fancy just a decent meal. I'd come back.”

“I recently visited this restaurant over weekend twice actlly..I was really impressed with the excellent food quality ...everything tasted amazing! The staff membrs were friendly, active, nd quick, which made the experience even better.
However, the team seemed a bit understaffed for the number of orders, n the way they shouted food items at the back felt a little too loud for customers, it felt like school kids rhyming something.... I understand it perhaps part of their process, but it could be handled more quietly for a calmer atmosphere out there...
The front desk girl, Mani, was polite and professional, though repeating name twice for the takeout order didn’t feel necessary...
Overall, fantastic food and great service, but adding a few more team members n calm atmosphere would make the experience even better.”
