Located in a historic hotel, the room and bar are so pretty. We went for brunch but would be a nice place to meet for drinks as well. The food was very tasty but served lukewarm which is why it got the 4 stars instead...of 5. Had the California Eggs Benedict and Hubby got the special brioche French toast with Marscapone cheese. food was good but would have been fantastic if hot! They seemed understaffed.More

Our final meal after a 3 night stay in Burlington was here. Tried unsuccessfully to get an online reservation, and decided to just call to see what they said. We easily were able to eat at 6PM on a Thursday night during "stick season" in...early November. We started with a bottle of pinot grigio. We both ordered the amazing vineyard chowder, with 4 kinds of seafood. Delicious-but we should have shared a soup! For entrees we had Gryphon Burger and Salmon. Both were very good. Very small and cozy space!More

Just finished supper at the Gryphon. Very delicious food. We ate the sensational seafood chowder, the seafood grits, the seared tuna and the duck quesadilla. Finished up with very tasty plum tart and ice cream sundae. Good service. Attractive venue. Well priced.

Drinks were okay, food was nothing great. I had the tuna which was okay but my husband had the green fried tomato BLT and he said it was disgusting. It looked pretty bad also, like a 6 year old made it. Won’t return.

I reserved for one person and was treated like I didn’t exist, obviously tables with more people get way more attention to the left and right of me. so I decided to take my second course home. still with a bottle of wine - which...wasn’t poured properly - I had a turnover of 78 $ in 45 min and maybe 3 min attention for which I paid about 18 $. no problem if someone is nice but even as a single traveling well dressed business woman one deserves to be treated better. Management needs to take care of this. Food was very good as was the atmosphere and style of restaurant.More

We had some great dining experiences in Burlington, but this was one of the best. I ordered shrimp, scallops and grits with a lobster sauce -a big improvement over your regular shrimp and grits. Also, the mojito was made with green tea infused rum which...was a very clean take on the traditional mojito. Reasonably priced for the value received and very friendly staff.More

Small but wonderful menu options & attentive service. When we first walked in, we realized that rather then this being a larger restaurant, it is a bar with maybe 6-8 dining tables and a couch/lounge area. The tables were of a great size, the ceilings...are high with huge windows decorated with heavy and dark fabric curtains. The family at the next table played cards while they dined and other tables were comfortably chatting & enjoying the libations, food and atmosphere. We ordered the sweet potato nachos and ahi tuna to start, followed by the french onion soup and their seafood chowder. The food was superb and we said would be hard to beat during our stay. Highly recommend!More

Everything was delicious, beautifully presented, and worth the (admittedly pricey) cost. The room is gorgeous. Service was impeccable and accomodating. We literally could not have been happier with our experience here.

What an unfortunate experience. Dined here with friends after ready the great reviews. The food was simply amazing. But our server, Stephanie was perhaps having a bad day? No smile, no engagement, all business. One of my friends waited patiently for a drink, to no...avail. So my friend tapped Stephanie on the arm as she walked by to remind her about the drink order. Wow! Stephanie was incensed and curtly said, Don't EVER touch me again!" Wow! What a ridiculous over reaction! Ruined the whole experience. Again, the food was absolutely delicious, but overshadowed by ourMore

I know you go to a restaurant for the food, but I must mention an exceptional server named Katie, who made this a five star experience. Props to her lively personality that wasn’t too much, and definitely an amazing willingness to serve her customers. On...to the food… We wanted to eat “lighter” so opted for soup and salad. My choice was the white bean soup. It was nearly perfect and became absolutely perfect when upon request, Katie provided the grated Parmesan to sprinkle on top. I didn’t want it to end and wished to lick the bowl when it did!! My husband ordered the Vineyard Chowder- an over- the- top mix of seafood in a creamy, but not too heavy, delicious broth. It was a meal in a bowl and he barely had room for anything else. My summer salad and his Caesar salad were both excellent, but the taste of our soups still lingered large. There was great beer and drink selections and a cozy atmosphere, despite the historic high ceilings, and the bar being such a dominant part of the room. We went away very satisfied with our “light dinner”.More

I encourage you to try the seafood chowder - it’s excellent. Also, reservations recommended as it’s not a large space.

This restaurant came recommended by the clerk at the front desk of the hotel. Best recommendation I’ve ever received. The filet mignon is to die for. It was so tender and juicy. I would highly recommend trying this little treat. The ambience was wonderful and...the wait staff was friendly. If you’re in Burlington you must check this out.More

Did not see any outdoor seating last month. Do not believe inside would be dog friendly.
