Very trendy bar/restaurant.
Upon arrival the GM (Vincent) amazing and quickly escorted us to our table. We did make reservations and glad we did as the restaurant was packed. Not so packed you were miserable or people were waiting allover the restaurant but full.
Our server was JJ who catered to every detail and really knew the menu and gave great suggestions. I hope when I go back we have her again as she really made the experience grand.
Let's get down to the yummy food we had.
(We were a table of 4)
Appetizers:
Philly Spring Rolls-
Definitely is full of meat and cheese in a spring roll. The rolls are served with a spicy ketchup which is perfect for a philly roll. Out of 4 of us only 1 didn't care for it... definitely try!
Firecracker Shrimp :
Definitely Asian fusion added to this dish. Shrimps were huge and cooked to perfection. You get 5 but again they are HUGE.
Main course:
Special- White fish (totally forgot the name) and a mushroom risotto - Absolutely amazing. The mushroom risotto was a major hit and all of our forks were diving in for a bite. Risotto cooked so perfect it melts in your mouth.
Paleo Burger with Brussels sprouts- Large portion and equally satisfying if your watching that waist line. The only complaint was with the brussel sprouts. She assumed they would have been cut smaller but this is a preference thing versus an issue.
Short Ribs with mashed potatoes and brussels sprouts: This dish came as one of the recommended and patron favorite. Definitely tender meat and would order again. Not as good as that mushroom and fish dish though.
Crab Cake with french fires: Definitely full of actual lump cake versus fillers. The fries were garlic parmesan fries. My only complaint is the parmesan was at the bottom of the plate and not on the actual fries. Maybe I missed something there but none the less very good.
I added a side of she crab soup with my entree and again mind blown.
Rating:
Best: White Fish and risotto
2nd: Crab Cakes
3rd: Short Ribs

Dessert:
We shared the cake/cheesecake samplers. They come in little mason jars packed with cake and icing. OMG..... heaven! Red Velvet ...enough said.
I have reservations coming up for restaurant week and can't wait to bring along several friends to try.
Way to go Burton's!
