“We love the Essex and come here every time we travel to VT. The staff are responsive and friendly, the rooms are clean, cozy, and comfy. The one warning we would give is to say that the price that you book for is nowhere near what you get charged for at checkout. There are extra add on charges on the bill that “tax” your imagination. Just be sure to ask up front.“

“I visited this restaurant with two girlfriends on a beautiful summer day and sat outdoors. We had the tarragon chicken salad wrap with fries and the BLT with sweet potato fries which were delicious. Our server did a great job and there is plenty of parking. I hope to return soon!“

“Mom and pop shop. Counter service only. A solid creemee but I always come back for the clam chowder and fried haddock roll.
The clam chowder might be the best in the state. The haddock roll I always add lettuce, tomato and onion to- it’s always cooked perfectly which means it’s a flakey and messy sandwich. The buns always buttered and the produce is always fresh on the sandwich.“

“Amazing first impression of this place I discovered while visiting Burlington from Canada this past week. The team led by Brandon was a pleasure to deal with. Will definitely be back in the future! Back again for a quick July 1 visit! Charles was a pleasure to deal with today, and ever so friendly to us, and our 4 separate orders. 😀 we'll be back again July 4!“

“The best coffee in Burlington, and maybe the world. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. What a great place with a choice of 3 espressos!“

They also have many Tap beers to try ! We had Courtney as our waitress and she was very sweet and we had a really great Time !“

“Excellent ice cream and amazing service“

“WONDERFUL!! We just had a surprise birthday party for our son at BBC. We worked with Ian Greenfield who made everything so easy! They were excellent with their communication and accommodations. I had several last-minute changes, and Ian was gracious with every change. I would not hesitate to hold another event there in the future. Food was excellent, atmosphere (we had 1/2 of the Helios room) was perfect, and Luke (the person assigned to serve us) was so attentive and provided outstanding service.
I just can't say enough about how wonderful everything was. Thank you, BBC, Ian and Luke for making our son's 30th birthday so memorable!! Jen & Paul Seaver“

“Had an amazing afternoon at the tasting room! Both bartenders were incredibly knowledgeable and personable, guiding me through the tasting and helping me choose a few drinks. I ended up leaving with a great selection of Mad River products. If you're a bourbon or rum enthusiast visiting the Burlington area, this spot is a must-visit!“

“Awesome crust! They always excel!“

“My favorite is pad phet fish, but even if you ask for mild spice, sometimes it comes out too spicy for an average American to eat. Fresh ingredients, nice folks, quick service. Please, though, stop mopping the floor with rancid water. The whole entry, and hallway to the restrooms stinks of bad mop water. The past two times I've come in“

“it's our first time here and won't be our last. We come up from NY every labor day weekend and just found this place. The food was amazing, and that's an understatement. 10 out of 10 sure“

“We had a delightful meal tonight at Bourbon Street restaurant in Burlington, Vermont. Chef Richard is the host, chef and owner. He was a pleasure to meet, the food was delicious and the desserts were fantastic. This is a cozy little Mecca in Burlington. We felt like we were welcomed into Richard’s home. We are happy that we were able to get reservations. The food has various little twists that provided gastronomical delights.“

“Amazing service and food and atmosphere“

“Super barista and fantastic baked goods. I just wish they opened earlier as I start work at 8:00.“

“This is a nice brewery, very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Great selection of beers if you like lagers, pilsners, wheats, hefes, molds, ESBs, etc... I tried quite a few and enjoyed them all. There is a pizza place out front, the brewery is on the back of the building. Nice place.“

“Had a lot of fun here on our honeymoon in 2015. Highly recommend!“

“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.“

“Great place for craft beers and a good time.“

“Great coffee and community“

“This review is long overdue. Visited the last week of June. We stopped into Burlington Bay while trying to escape a surprise downpour and I’m glad we did!

We only had a few minutes, so we ordered fries, and WOW… the portion was huge! They were delicious, and the team was friendly. Definitely a great spot to grab lunch if you’re in downtown Burlington.

Would absolutely recommend and would happily stop by again!“

“Awesome little place with soda mocktails, real alcoholic drinks, and great beer cheese. highly recommend, especially on Sunday for some great karaoke“

“We got the chicken soup and Indian soup on a hot, muggy July afternoon. Seriously exciting flavors in the Indian soup and depth of flavor in the chicken soup broth.
The prices are a little high - to be expected in a town like Burlington - but you get your pallet’s worth if you don’t get your belly’s worth.“

“I didn’t realize I hadn’t gotten my faster than light sample awhile back when I ordered. I received it recently and was surprised! Thank you kestrel team :) Also I’m very excited to try it. It smells so good 🙂“

“Spectacular. So glad they offer flights because it's hard to choose between all the enticing beer offerings. Every one we tried was delicious, And each had a remarkably smooth finish.
The food was also incredible...rich, complex flavors that are intriguing and satisfying.

Above it all was the truly wonderful service. Here's a shout out to Makeda, who's friendly and attentive service made the entire experience so very memorable.

We will be back.“

“The matzoh ball soup tastes like love, and that’s all you need to know.“

“Always fresh and delicious!“

“Everything about our experience was a delight. They were so welcoming and personable. The atmosphere was warm and inviting. The food was fresh and delicious. It’s wonderful to see new exciting food choices in Winooski. The owners were so sweet and attentive. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone I want to have a great dining experience“

“My favorite coffee spot in Burlington ♡ Their coffee is S tier. Love the cozy ambience 🍂🍁“

“Wanted somewhere low-key for a friend going through a rough patch and this place was exactly right. Quiet enough to talk, warm enough to feel like a hug. Food was comforting and generous. Staff clocked the vibe and gave us space. Bill was fair. Came in for a meal, left feeling restored.“

“Good food and beer. Large dinning area“

“❤️I’m obsessed with their COLD BREW! I sweeten it with agave...so addicting❤️“

The mixed drinks were reasonable price a person named Thomas was amazing bartender he was fabulous. I would recommend to go here to eat. It’s very good feeling good atmosphere food.“

“Best cappuccino I’ve had in ages! Seriously, it was absolutely delicious. Best experience - walked in to get breakfast on Black Friday, kitchen was closed but we decided to sit at the bar and have a cappuccino. It was perfection. Such a cool place to sit and chill on a wintry day. Thanks, Happy Place Cafe - I 🩷 you.“

“kind and accommodating staff willing to give food suggestions to an out of town visitor looking for a tasty but affordable meal after shopping!“

“We were visiting from CT in search of a quaint place for breakfast. We sat at the bar and enjoyed the spicy bloody Mary's with their house made jalapeño infused tequila. The breakfast food was fantastic. The bacon was crisp, the homefries spicy and filled with the right amount of flavor, and the corned beef hash was a great Irish Breakfast. Our server was fantastic! She offered us several suggestions on places to see while here such as going to Burlington and seeing the lake views with the mountains. What a great find!“

“Some great cider options including several non-alcoholic options and everything between very dry and sweet. Over a dozen cider styles. Our favorites were the Juicy Hazy and the Unified. The fried cheese curds were exceptional and made from local Vermont cheese.“

“This place REALLY threw me for a loop… walking there I was expecting a quickie bite.. not an amazing dinner meal that even my picky husband enjoyed!

The vibe definitely did not match the level of culinary skills in the food. We got chive pancakes, they were chewy crispy and savory - perfect appetizer!

Two Asahi’s to complement our entrees:
crying tiger fried rice, the sirloin was marinated to PERFECTION! Best I’ve EVER had.
Duck Penang was an entire duck leg in a creamy delicious curry sauce with pineapples and tomatoes. So mouthwatering thinking about it now..

Staff was soooo young but SUPER hospitable and lovely! Luckily we’re not locals otherwise it’d be a weekly meal here for us!“

“Friendly staff, great food and a cozy atmosphere“
