For my wifes Birthday I wanted to take her somewhere special. After some online searching I decided to take her to Lord Nelson... in Burlington. It's located in a small unassuming strip mall. When we entered we weren't greeted at first and the young coatcheck/hostess girl seemed a bit timid and confused. Eventually another lady greeted us and I told her we had a reservation,which in the notes online I had requested "a quiet table for 2". The lady explained that they were having an "event" today andwe could have a table in a private room that is quieter but the table in the main room is much nicer. Not wanting to make a fussI told her the regular table would be fine. It wasn't too long after we were seated that I regretted not taking the other table.The restaurant was very loud, and after another group was seated next to us it got even rowdier. Even though it was a Thursdayevening it felt more like a pub during a game night rather than a fine dining restaurant. The hostess did check our coats whichwas nice. Anyways, I read in the reviews that the Caesar salad is made table side and is really good so we started with that.My wife ordered the Lord Nelson special and I got the Chicken Supreme. Shortly after we ordered we were brought a small platterwith pickles, olives, Pate and a bowl with garlic bread. I have been to restaurants before where they bring you complimentarybread but this was 2 tiny pieces of garlic bread. I tried it with the pate but it was better on its own as the pate didn't havemuch of a taste to it. Eventually the waiter set up the salad table and began to make it infront of us. He appeared to bemaking the dressing and everything from scratch but I can't be sure as he didn't really explain what he was doing. He juststarted mixing and mashing and I couldn't tell what some of the ingredients were. It would have been great if he explained whathe was doing or even asked if we cared. Especially considering this salad costs almost $50. About 1/ Read more

We were a group of 12 celebrating a birthday & the food was phenomenal! The service was exceptional as well. We had a variety of... different dishes, from Wagyu steak, veal, pasta, rib steak - everyone loved their meal! The appetizers were great as well,oysters, mussles, Cesar salad & more, no complaints, everything tasted great! Please note that we gather at restaurants oftenfor celebrating, and we are foodies who wouldn't return to a place if it was unsatisfactory - we all would return & definitelyrecommend this restaurant! Yes, it is pricey, but you honestly are guaranteed a great night out with great food! Read more

That was a fantastic Dining experience. We literally dropped in without a reservation last Friday at 8:00pm. The first... impression was a bit strange the restaurant has no windows. But then: The owner welcomed us very enthusiastic, and thenValentino our waiter was very professional, helpful and entertaining. We ordered Caesar Salad prepared fresh at the table, anoaked California Chardonnay and a Chianti. Both wines were delicious - and those were just ordered by the glass. Our maincourses, Supreme Chicken and Grilled Salmon very tasty and the dessert Sticky Toffee and of course an espresso in a verydecorative espresso cup. When we are back in the are - we will be back.

Went with a group of people, and overall the dinner was ok. It wasn't amazing, just your regular steakhouse. I wouldn't quite... call it top service fine dining either as the service was on par to places like the Keg, but not the higher level sophisticationyou'd get from the true fine dining restaurants. And now that restrictions are lifted, they have placed tables where tablesdon't belong. Throughout the entire dinner, the space was so cramped that every time the server walked past, he would knock intomy chair, or kick it, or knock things off other people's chairs. I could reach out and touch the person sitting in the nexttable over. On top of which, there were groups of people just standing around the walk space with their wine, chatting and justblocking the path, obviously with no masks either. The food itself was ok. The oysters were fresh, the steak was tender, andthe cheesy cauliflower is good. The mashed potatoes were bland and hard, not soft, silky and fluffy like it should be. Almostseemed like they didn't add anything to the potatoes and just mashed boiled potatoes and served. Overall, not really worth theprice. There was potential, as the place is decorated like fine dining, but it just didn't quite hit the mark. Read more
