“ Food was excellent and the atmosphere was relaxing as its on the pier over looking Lake Champlain. I had a kimchi hot dog which was so unique and delicious and truffle fries that were crisp to perfection. It can be a little confusing to find because its around a building but once you find it you’re in for a treat!! ”
“ I wish we would’ve come here on the first day of our visit to Burlington, so that we could have come back several more times! Instead, we discovered it on a Sunday and it’s closed Monday/Tuesday. Oh well... the one fabulous visit will have to do! The food was great and the ambiance was unmatched. I would be here every single weekend if I lived in Burlington. 10/10 ”

The staff was incredibly welcoming and checked on us throughout. And of course the food was to die for. I had the lobster roll and perch tacos and both were absolutely phenomenal. Highly recommend the spicy Marg too! 5 stars! ”
