Burrell is lovely. We enjoyed the mushroom and sunchoke main, and the black cod, although the delicacy of the black cod oyster chowder was over powered by the earthy umami of the mushroom dish. Should have asked our server about the combo. corn bread amazing as always. waffle and chicken liver was the hit of the night. The fried cauliflower and broccoli was decent. Not the best. We were full by the time our mains came! Wish we would have saved room for desert!

Little Star had good food in generous portions. We had the Vegetarian thin crust pizza and the Little Star deep dish with sausage and roasted garlic. Both well made and delicious. My go to cocktail is the foxhound. Their mixed salad was great, full of walnuts and blue cheese. Look forward to our next visit.
