We had an amazing meal at Burlock Coast. We decided to sit at the bar and had wonderful service with all bartenders, but a special shoutout to Bella! Amazing drinks, great conversation, and just a spectacular vibe. And dinner was delicious. We started with hummus and, of course, had them bring us extra grilled naan. I had the citrus salad with shrimp; my husband had Caesar with shrimp. Huge shrimp cooked perfectly over fresh salad. Yum. And, dessert was banana bread pudding. The perfect ending. Great night!

Great food and service. A hidden gem! Brunch with a view you can’t beat. I didn’t see elevators so be weary if climbing steps will be an issue.
