Excellent Risotto and Filet. Drinks were great too. Cozy atmosphere.
lovey - they are doing a great job during this slamdemic.
It was our first time and we will return. Everything was wonderful
Outstanding service, decadent menu! The escargot is divine and the Key Lime Pie dreamy. My new favorite Burlington area restaurant!
It’s always a pleasure to dine at Pauline’s. The food is always exceptional & very carefully prepared & presented. I consider it a step above for the area as a dining experience.
Dinner was for our 50th wedding anniversary on that day. It was a wonderful day and such a joy for us to enjoy it at such a wonderful place with such delightful food and with such a pleasant staff. Thank you all for the beautiful memories.
We chose Pauline’s for my husband’s birthday, because it has always been very good in every way. Dennis loved his seafood selection and I really enjoyed the only vegan item on the list of entrees: an “Impossible Burger”, with a gluten free bun I had brought from home. Dennis loved the creme brûlée. The waitstaff were delightful!
Everything tasted amazing. It is my third year living in the area and this is one of the best places around I’ve experienced.
Pauline's is always a great experience: excellent food with a wide variety, very attentive service, nice quiet ambiance.
Food was great. Server was awesome. They were so nice and friendly.
We had a delicious dinner at Pauline’s. Our waiter did a great job, I think his name was Jay. The portions are really big and they’re plated beautifully.
Great food and great adherence to Covid procedures - would recommend!
Whether it’s for a special evening out or just because… This place is a special experience on every level!
Everything is great except it’s cold by the windows.
Everything was excellent at Pauline's Saturday night.
The staff was great only surpassed by the food !!
We went here for Thanksgiving - wonderful service and incredible food. Really enjoyed ourselves.
5 star Thanksgiving dinner**
Love Thanksgiving at Pauline’s! Service is appropriately relaxed but professional, food is fine although nothing is elevated and the carrot soup, dressing and gravy was bland when turkey needs some sides that sing!
Paulines has amazing food! My favorite Filet Mignon!
Always a great place to gather for a meal! Our brunch food was great and we enjoyed catching up in a safe COVID environment.
As a person with celiac disease, I really appreciate the many gluten free choices.
You get 6 stars in all categories. The food is always incredible. The service and staff are friendly and personable. We have never had a bad experience. We would recommend Pauline's to anyone and everyone. Thank you and keep up the good work.
Consistently delicious. Brunch was excellent and waitstaff was great.
Enjoyed a fantastic lunch at Pauline’s. Always a favorite stop when heading into Burlington. Food was excellent and the young gentleman serving us was exceptional. Hope to return soon!
We were visiting from Ardmore, PA. I found Pauline's on Trip Advisor so I thought this would be a wonderful place to dine on our last evening in Vermont. We were seated immediately by a very gracious hostess. Our server, Alisa, was very helpful. We shared the Caesar Salad which was made with very fresh, crisp romaine (anchovies on the side). My husband couldn't decide between the House Schnitzel or the Crab Cakes. While Alisa said it was a hard decision, she recommended the Crab Cakes. Great choice! My husband loved them. I had the Eggplant Parmesan. Crispy nuggets of eggplant in a delicious tomato sauce. Not to sweet and definitely not acidic. We were full so we passed on desserts.
We were there for an hour before we got our appetizers. My husband's cheese plate had 3 pieces of cheese and 2 grapes which were cut in half. My onion soup was okay. Another 40 minutes and still no main course. We gave up, asked for check. They didn't charge for his cheese plate. To say we were disappointed does not encompass the irritation we felt. There was a party of 4 next to us that was also experiencing the same things we were! Won't return EVER!
We were really pleased with the COVID precautions. Plenty of spacing between tables ( without feeling empty), masked staff who maintained a respectful distance, and attentive service. Definitely recommend.
Excellent food. Just a night where staff was small. Had to be patient.
Food was excellent. The server even suggested a custom dish since I said I couldn’t decide on the risotto and something else. She gave me risotto as my side dish with the salmon. So nice of them. They completely understood my gluten intolerance as well.
Unfortunately I live in Pennsylvania so who knows when or if I’ll ever be back but I highly recommend it !
The food, drink and service at Pauline's was terrific. Our table was spaced well away from others and everything was very clean and quiet.
Pauline’s is always wonderful
Wonderful as always!! Pauline's never disappoints. Solid, reliable, delicious menu with friendly, welcoming staff in cozy setting.
I grew up in VT and never tried Paulines. I really should have because we enjoyed our overall experience. We will be back when we are in town again.
A nice overall lunch
We loved the crab cakes, they were delicious. One of our party ordered onion soup (also delicious) and a grilled cheese sandwich which was very bland and the bread cut far too thick to be eaten easily.
WE have never been let down when dining at Pauline's!
Pauline’s is one of the best places to dine; a great experience every time.
We had a wonderful brunch the other day. The crab cake was full of crab, rather than breadcrumbs and the eggs were done perfectly. The basket of homemade breads were delicious. And the patio ambiance reminded me of being in France.
Great find for us. First time visiting. Food was great. Nice atmosphere too.
I love the food at Pauline’s. It is always, always consistently outstanding. That’s why we keep coming back!
Sincerely,
Mark
