    In the 40+ years the Escadrille has been in Burlington it has never lost the quality of food served, the excellence of the wait staff and the cleanliness of the restaurant. It is a great place to eat.

    My water glass was broken badly. No manager ever came over. No apology or anything. Everything else was good. But this was very unprofessional to not see if I was hurt or to apologize. It was a large crack on one full half of glass. Surprised it didn’t shatter in my hand.

    Cafe Escadrille is a gem in Burlington among many vey good restaurants. It never disappoints. The food is consistently good as it was on Wednesday evening. We were fortunate in that Toni was our server. She has been our server many times and is always top notch even remembering vineyard our favorite wine was from. We ordered steamers and they were perfectly cooked. The prime rib entree was more than generous and the Veal Catherine over pasta was delicious. If you haven't tried the Escadrille, try it. You won't be disappointed. Thank you to Toni, the chef and the other support staff for a memorable meal. WE WILL BE BACK!!

    I've been dining at the Drille for over 40 years—they never disappoint, and I usually don't review.

    The Baked Haddock was So Fresh, Delicious! The wait was Zero to be attended to, to get our order, to receive the food, but to get a refill on my water was Way Too Long! None of the food were "SaltBombs," so it was refreshingly Rewarding and Allowed the ingredients to really Shine! The Prices were Up there, so the food Equally "Matched" the *Quality!* I'd have given a Five than a Four, if my Water was refilled much sooner and as often as I'd like!!! I'd recco this to my friends as long as they do a tighter reign on drinks reservicing than I did...

    It was fine, but that’s about it. If you’re in a pinch and need food, go for it but don’t expect much. Just know it’s a huge place that mass produces meals. If you have that perspective it’s just fine.

    The service was fabulous. The food was good. We were in the dining room upstairs, which was very quiet if you’re looking for a good bourbon Manhattan, make sure you tell them to put in only one ice cube, preferably the large one otherwise if you say it on the rocks, they water it down, that was the only negative thing about my experience

    My wife and I ordered a shrimp and sweet potato tempura from the sushi menu which was nicely prepared and tasty. The clam plate was fantastic, not greasy and cooked to perfection. My wife ordered a Greek salad with blacked salmon which she enjoyed very much
