Burrell is lovely. We enjoyed the mushroom and sunchoke main, and the black cod, although the delicacy of the black cod oyster chowder was over powered by the earthy umami of the mushroom dish. Should have asked our server about the combo. corn bread amazing as always. waffle and chicken liver was the hit of the night. The fried cauliflower and broccoli was decent. Not the best. We were full by the time our mains came! Wish we would have saved room for desert!

Went for Christmas Eve Feast of the Seven Fishes and did the full wine pairing— a splurge after a busy & draining day/week/year. The space was welcoming and festive, the wine pairings were interesting and thoughtful and the hospitality and service were impeccable from the moment we walked in to the moment we left hours later. Mistakes happen - especially on a busy holiday shift - but any minor hiccups were swiftly addressed. We felt treated like royalty but then also like old friends by the end of the meal.
