Went to the Burke for my birthday tonight, the staff was amazing and treated me so well. The food was fantastic. The piano player was amazing and added terrific ambiance to the dinner. This is one of my favourite restaurants that I highly recommend it to anyone for any occasion.

Emily, our server, was a delight. It was not a busy evening so she had time to talk with us. She made the evening very special for us. We were old friends catching up and requested a table where we could sit and be able to speak without too much noise and that is exactly what we got. The renovations are lovely, the food was delicious and half price bottles of wine were all reasons it was a lovely evening.

Biagio is a favourite for us. The food is always excellent as is the service. The location could not be better, especially if we stay at the King Eddie. We also love the tables with tablecloths, napkins and nice glassware and cutlery. It all combines for a memorable lunch or dinner.
