    We had heard this restaurant had great food . . . It was the best! We had possibly the best grilled/fried octopus appetizer. The octopus was very lightly fried - crispy on the outside yet tender and not over cooked. My wife had the veal picata - but had the sauce left off to the side - sort of the veal Milanese presentation she preferred. I has a pan seared red snapper that was absolutely the best I’ve ever experienced. Desert was chocolate torte with a raspberry sorbet - again an amazing contrast / combination of flavors. This is a gem of a small restaurant that should be savored . . . We had a great experience and will return . . .

    Well, mom wasn't really happy with her meal. It's a good choice to eat, but not enough choices.

    The food and the service were outstanding. I ordered the Lily of the Valley cocktail and requested vodka in place of gin. It was a beautiful pink, refreshing delight. The octopus appetizer was delicious. The fish of the day was snapper. It was prepared beautifully, incredibly fresh and a nice portion. Unfortunately we had no room for dessert.

    Ambience and venue charming.Menu was enticing. Wine advice and selection from waiter was excellent. He offered a tasting before selection. Tomato salad was tasty while fried Brussel sprouts were average. Bread was exceptional and memorable. Wifes seafood selection was below average. Shrimp were small tough and overcooked. Clams were scarcely present and overall seafood flavors below standard. New York strip was cooked well and flavorful. Overall was good but not great dining experience.

    Our first visit to Burlingame was amazing! The ambiance was quaint and cozy and the menu selection was very nice. We enjoyed the brussels sprouts app, my husband had the steak and frites that was cooked to perfection and I had the crispy salmon that was also cooked perfectly and the flavor combinations were just delicious! The service was excellent and we appreciated the handwritten anniversary card signed by the staff - very nice touch of class. Highly recommend!

    The food was amazing and Tanner provided the best service I’ve had in a long time! I’m never disappointed when I dine at Burlingame. In my opinion it’s the best restaurant on the island.

    Dinner outdoor on the deck on a beautiful night. Off to a slow start with pre dinner cocktails taking a little too long to arrive (bartender backed up they say). Once that was passed us, service and dinner were great. We'll be back

    We invited guests to celebrate a special birthday and decided to try a “new” to us place on the Island, and we are sure glad we did. We were greeted with birthday wishes at the door and immediately seated with a very professional server, John. It was a quant little dining area with nice lighting and very clean. We ordered drinks and the tomato as well as the Brussels sprouts as appetizers. In addition we had Steak, Snapper, a vegetarian option option with cabbage, and a shellfish dinner. All were beautifully presented and delicious. We capped it off with a chocolate cake and Lemmon pie for desert. We may have just found our new favorite spot for those special evenings. We loved everything about it.
