Reviews for The Gryphon in Burlington, VT
Overall a fantastic place to eat in Burlington, I had the gryphon burger and the vineyard chowder. First off let me say that the... vineyard chowder (a chunky seafood chowder) was the best I ever had. Not too heavy and LOADED with clam, scallops, and crab.Excellent. Next the burger was also great, cooked right and the pickled onions really added to it. The only thing I wasdisappointed with here were the cocktails, I tried a few of them and they were very weak and watered down. I should haveprobably went with ales at an ale house but whatever I would 100% recommend this place Read more
Wonderful seafood chowder. Huge portions. Started with vineyard chowder, which was stellar. Then had the duck quesadilla and... sweet potato nachos. The duck quesadilla was great, and the nachos were interesting (I am too used to corn chips, so found thetexture odd) and different (not in a bad way, just not in a nachos way). For mains we had the Gryphon Burger and the PetitFillet (both were good, but brussel sprouts should never be the chef's choice vegetables). Finally ended with sundaes whichwere fine but nothing special. Overall a very good meal, though the bill coming with 20, 21, and 22% tip options was offputting, especially since Vermont is sensible enough not to have the terrible federally mandated $2.13 an hour wage (if you wantto list tip options, at least stick with the more traditional 10, 15, 20%).

Such good food and atmosphere! Right on the corner with big windows great for people watching. The salmon caesar salad was so... yummy along with the mussels, sauce amazing! Friends enjoyed their meals as well as pictured. Drinks were well. Definitely on mylist for when I?m back in town! Read more
This turned out to be a really great experience! We tried a couple other places in town, but the wait was quite long. The... Gryphon was able to get us in with a super minimal wait! We were greeted promptly and informed that the service might be slowerdue to minimal staff. Which looking around, everyone seemed to be enjoying their food so it?s likely worth it. NAILEDIT!!!!! We opted for the Sesame Tuna and Duck Quesadillas to start. Well, that was also an EXCELLENT decision as they were bothextraordinary!!! For the main dish I had the Roasted Beets Salad with Chicken. This is kinda a go to for me, and this was inthe top two I?ve ever had!!! Was it #1!?!?!? The VT goat cheese on the salad was top notch as well! Our server was Cora, andshe absolutely knocked it out of the park!!! The place was packed and she did a fantastic job of juggling the entire restaurantwith her sidekick! You seriously need to check out the Gryphon! We could all use a little more patience in life, and I?m morethan happy to apply it for mouth watering food! Great job Gryphon and Cora! We thank you!

Excellent Food and atmosphere. I would definitely eat here again. The seafood chowder was amazing and my son enjoyed the bean... soup. My guys had burgers and said they were very good. I had the Sesame Chicken Salad and it was awesome! Read more
Been here 5 times now pre and post pandemic and I've had a great experience throughout. They have a bustling atmosphere with... beautiful decor and ambiance. First time we stopped in before dinner reservations somewhere else and the bar scene was so livelyand drinks tasty we wished we'd stayed for dinner. Obviously it's more sedate now but they're good about allowing only customersthey can handle and they were one of the only places open Christmas Eve. Food has always been solid and drinks very good. I likethis place. Location can't be beat. They're doing it right amidst it all and we plan on making the Gryphon a regular haunt iefours. Read more
Stumbled in for brunch, hungover on a quick overnight with my husband. Love the decor... Super elegant without pretention. The... bartender was great. We had the seafood grits, french onion soup and the schnitzel sandwich... It was EXACTLY what we needed.One or my favorite meals that we've had in a while. We'll definitely make a point of coming back next time we're in the area! Read more
Amazing food, great atmosphere. We had a dinner special crab rolled in a fish with couscous that was completely amazing, the... kids got fresh made linguine with cheese. No doubt we will be back again. Thank you! Read more
