17 Best Seafood Restaurants near Burlington

“The food was good, with a big variation. I loved the clams, but the chocolate mousse was disappointing, mostly whipped cream. The fish was cooked really well, but the sides and beans appetizer were just fine. The non-alcoholic negroni was excellent.

The main waitress was very attentive and friendly; the rest of the staff was unprofessional, multiple times they dropped plates on the table and walked away without a comment.

The atmosphere is nice, but nothing special, and it gets pretty loud.“

“Wow! We've been loyal Tiny Thai customers for years, but decided to try Suvi's because it's so much closer. The rice is fluffy, the vegetables are cooked perfectly. Very fresh tasting. Love the yellow curry dish, the stir fried chicken with cashews and pad thai are sooo good. And the spring rolls and crab ragoon are just lightly fried. Deelish. Husband wife team are super nice. New favorite place for take out.“

“The dining experience was average overall. $30 lobster roll had as much lettuce as it had lobster and lacked flavor. Lobster bisque was very good. Great views. Open tables all around but the four tables of guests were crammed into one corner of the building.“

“I go here for banh mi, love the pickled veggies from scratch, and hot peppers added in.“

“I unexpectedly had to spend the night in Burlington, VT due to a flight cancellation. This place was recommended to me as a nice spot to have dinner, and it did not disappoint. The views of Lake Champlain were beautiful, the service was great, and the atmosphere was perfect for a Fall evening. And the fish tacos were fantastic!
There was a great little jazz quintet playing, and they were all excellent musicians. The singer had the perfect jazz voice and her tone was always spot on. Very talented!“

“This restaurant has been our favorite for 20 years! We go several times a year and have never, ever had a bad experience. The staff is so knowledgeable and top notch. The food is superb (especially the sesame chicken dumplings and dry fried green beans…..and the cauliflower….and the lemon shrimp…..and if there’s any fish specials….)“

“Excellent customer service! At my first visit, I was given some incorrect information by an employee regarding the origin of the seafood I purchased. I left a comment in the follow up email receipt I received and was immediately credited for the mistake without even requesting retribution. I probably would not have been a return customer, but thanks to the exemplary customer service, I'll give them another try.“

“Firecracker is my absolute favorite take out go to!!“

“Absolutely amazing from first course to dessert. Highly recommended!!“

“Disappointed by the lack of customer consideration. The late-night menu is advertised to begin at 10 PM, yet when we called at 9:30 PM on a busy Saturday night, we were told only pizzas were available. This is misleading and frustrating. The posted information is not accurate, and unfortunately, it doesn’t reflect the needs of a busy harbour location where late-night dining options are expected. It also shows on google you are currently closed. Please consider updating your hours and menu details to reflect actual service and better support your patrons.“

“I’ve been going to Ray’s seafood restaurant in Essex Junction, Vermont for a number of years and have always had an outstanding experience. The food is always a good quality. The portions are plentiful and the prices are reasonable. It’s clean and comfortable with a good atmosphere. They are truly going to be missed in Vermont and I for one can say I’m really going to miss being able to go there as seafood choices in Vermont are spotty at Best for the most part but they’ve always done an exceptional job. Thanks again for your many years of service and hospitality. Best of luck to all of you and your staff going forward.“

“I had the Rotisserie cater an event for us. From start to finish ...it was a wonderful experience. The catering woman Diane. Is a gem. From booking to set up...We had no stress and food was amazing“

“Super-fun experience at the culinary experience at the Essex Resort in Essex, VT. Our instructor, Denise, led us through the recipes and techniques to create a wonderful Vermont dinner that included roasted root vegetables, braised chicken (in dark beer and demi-glacé) with shallots and a variety of mushrooms, and a lovely kale salad. We were given the opportunity to decorate autumn themed sugar cookies as well as dip tiny apples into a luscious caramel coating. A small group of 9 students made the experience very intimate. Our meal was served with wine and fresh bread accompanied by an herbed compound butter. Denise was a perfect instructor and I would recommend the experience to anyone who loves to cook.“

“Had my wedding dinner here and it was lovely. The waitresses were very kind and thoughtful, along with attentive and helpful. The food was delicious. I had a special at the time but it was a chicken dish that I will continue to think about. A little on the pricey side but it's a nice restaurant so of course. Overall, great service, great food, great vibe 👌🏾✨“
