Best Restaurants for Local Ingredients in Burlington

This restaurant & bar is probably the most upscale in Arlington without any “stuffy” feeling/vibe. Darker lighting (with small table lights to see menu) makes for a nice ambience. I have been here several times for lunch and dinner. My favs are the chicken sausage flatbread, Bourbon steak tips, Bolognese, beet salad. The burger beef is high quality and cooked perfectly but tends to lack flavor (tried twice); a simple touch of salt and pepper would make it tastier. Some Thursdays they have live jazz. Cocktails are made well. Service has always been super — attentive and friendly. Will continue to go back a couple times a month.

Exceptional, personal experience. The wait staff is highly knowledgeable and generous. Not particularly cheap but well with the price.

We have always enjoyed the food, atmosphere, pace, service and ambience. To night it was 5 stars again. But it was a special night for us on our 40th wedding anniversary. Our Waiter, Nate, was as stellar as ever. Yummy and creative offerings left us happy and amazed. Thank you all. Nicki & Allen

Fantastic all around. Food was so fresh and clearly all home made, including the delicious dessert. I will definitely be back.

While we realize that this is a new venture after Covid, Chopps used to be much better. Gone are the servers who brought you coffee, tea and assorted beverages, making it a truly cafeteria style atmosphere. This may be what some people like but after the original Chopps, we were subjected to a less than stellar experience for brunch. The scrambled eggs were horrible. Coffee and tea are served in paper cups at a station. The omelet station was manned by one gentleman who was pleasant but really didn't know that you fold an omelet before presenting it. Fruits and waffles were good, as were the bacon, sausage and cereals. Hard to goof those things up. I don't believe we'll be going back to his version of Chopps unless we hear they have made some adjustments to their presentation.
