We always love dinner & drinks at the Burleigh - but always get the worse table when booking through open table. We spent a couple days/nights at the Boathouse and made reservations for Christmas Eve at the Burleigh’s tinsel bar at 7pm. Specifically requested a table in the actual bar area- when we arrived (early per text request) we were seated at a table in the restaurant nearest to the door. It was cold. When we asked to sit in the bar at one of the many empty two high tops, we were told NO, those tables were not available by reservation. We ate dinner at the table which we were seated at. Our red headed waitress was phenomenal- she busted her butt with a smile the whole time. She even helped us seamlessly move to the bar for dessert and espresso martinis. As the same tables at empty. She was the best. The bartender himself was friendly enough, he was sad he had to work Christmas Eve though. The decorations were on point and the whole area was very festive!!

Wonderful, friendly service in an extremely festive and Christmassy decor. The food was delicious and fresh as well. I very rarely order fish and chips, and The Burleigh did not disappoint. The beet salad was delicious as well. Overall, this was a perfect Christmas Eve dinner.

Love the ambience of this restaurant. Not a lot of choices on the menu. Wish they had more salad/protein choices. Food is just okay. Service was outstanding.

Excellent Christmas decorations, good service and great drinks! Very cold by the front door, heavier/fuller curtains for the draft would be great.
