My husband and I decided to try this restaurant a couple of weeks ago, on our first "alone" night -- without the kids. We just recently moved to Burlington and were not the least bit dissapointed. Because we called in the reservation last minute, we were able to get "bistro" seating, so it wasn't the most comfortable seating ever -- it was still cozy and the food more than made up for it. We had the soup and pasta special and a half litre of wine - which was paired perfectly with the entrees. The bread and balsamic dip was the perfect opening. The only thing I can point out was at the end, it got rather packed and we sat there quite some time waiting to clear the bill. Other than that, it was a fantastic experience and I would not hesitate to go back or recommend it.
We have visited WPB several times and enjoy mostly for lunch. Friendly staff, service a bit slow but a nice atmosphere. Water is nice with the cranberry touch. Owners come and chat to you and if the weather is nice the patio is a great addition to the restaurant. The food is very good especially the mussels in curry sauce.
Had the fixe prix Taste of Burlington: salmon and short ribs, and a strip steak for the third entree. Plentiful, no rush to order, served cheerfully and promptly, and preparation was excellent. Lots of juice with first course of NZ mussels in a curry sauce - finished every spoonful of sauce. Red pepper soup was very flavourful... breads beforehand fresh and warm... desserts of creme brulee and lemon cheesecake were better than homemade. Went at 5pm to beat the rush.
Went to this restaurant by chance as a visit to our first choice was so noisy we couldn't stand it. This place has a nice atmosphere, pleasant music, and great food. The rack of lamb was just about the best I have tasted. The breads are very nice.
The wine is pricy, but I find that at most places.
We were looking forward to dining out for our Anniversary and chose the WPB. Great service and pleasant people. Lamb shank with mashed was OK... mashed was warm rather than hot but tomato sauces added a lot of flavour and warmth. My wife enjoyed her salmon and also the salad. Breads were fresh. Both coffees were weak, the cappucino OK but a strong chickory flavour in my decaf which I wasn't use to (& chips in coffee mug). The wine list was limited, mostly highly marked up plonk so stuck to glasses.
