We eat here a few times a year (wish it could be more often!). We ALWAYS have excellent service and food. It's nice to be able to count on that! Highly recommended!

This is a great local restaurant, with plenty of atmosphere and local buzz! The restaurant was very busy, but the service was super fast and friendly. The menu had plenty of variety to chose from, and our meals came with the salad bar. The salad bar was great with plenty of condiments to chose from. Very affordable!!!

Anywhere that has Heady Topper gets 5 stars... the salad bar and wings were great too. We sat in the pub upstairs and had a great time before catching a show at Higher Ground

We were driven to our hotel and on our way, there wasn't really anything to eat. Unless you like Starbucks, dunkin and other fast food places to eat for breakfast, much and dinner. The driver mentioned this place and we thought "eh". But it proved us wrong. The upstairs pub was a good place just to hang out and have... More

It's a bit lacking in atmosphere, but the food is good. Known for its good steaks. The wine list is excellent - probably the best in the city; and the wine prices are very reasonable.

I went with a group of friends for dinner and was very pleasantly surprised. When a friend first recommended this place I assumed it was part of the hotel (it's not). We had planned on dinner and then retiring to the pub upstairs, but they became much busier than anticipated and we ended up just keeping our booth in the... More

We took our 15- year-old grandson to Burlington for the night--a Friday night--recently. Unable to get any reservations at the "tonier" popular restaurants until 9:30 or later, we booked into the Windjammer somewhat reluctantly, imagining the somewhat tepid fare of motel restaurants (it is almost attached to a motel).When we got there, the place was mobbed. "what's going on?" i... More

I love the Windjammer. The food is always great, and the service is wonderful from start to finish. We have never had a bad experience.
