Fantastic experience as always. The appetizers are simply amazing! Brussels sprouts, soup of the day and shrimp salad was simply delicious. Everyone really enjoyed the apps and the dessert. The main course was hit or miss for some of the other guests steak and short ribs was a favourite. Those who got the chicken or the salmon felt as if was missing something. Still good food but not as spectacular as the appetizers. The entertainment never ever fails. Looking forward for next time.

Wonderful experience eating at Burdock before a show. Very impressed by their experimental brews, delicious and fun to try some new types of beer. Food was delicious (we enjoyed the tomato salad, mushroom caesar, cheeseburger, homemade cavatelli, and the side fries). Everything was flavourful and the service was good. Will be back.
