Our go-to place in Vermont! The ambiance, staff and food of E.B.Strong is second to none. We have been coming here many years and it’s the first restaurant we hit up when we come back to Vermont for the summer.The staff is exceptional…so many of them have worked here many years because it’s just that great of a place. The owners (Tim and Kristen) are super approachable and when not hustling to help out, they converse with patrons. The bar is our favorite but if it’s packed, the dining tables offer enough privacy to have conversations or romantic dinners. And last, the food is amazing. We wouldn’t go anywhere else when in the mood for a steak. Don’t like beef? Try the scallops, lamb or anything else. You won’t be disappointed! Our son is a chef and this is a must-go when he and his wife visit.
The first place we ate in Burlington - wanted to love it, but it fell flat.The food was not great (the escargot was prepared differently… which is fine except it wasn’t that warm and a bit chewy), and the shrimp cocktail was fine. The ahi tuna salad had huge chunks of tuna with a sort of smoky preparation I wasn’t expecting, and no real flavor otherwise.Even the wantons they served it with tasted more like pita chips and lacked any salt or flavor other than oil.The best thing we had was the complimentary bread and butter, which was delicious.The mashed potatoes were good too.Overall, it was quite loud (we were seated next to a large party) and expensive for what it was.
Nice atmosphere. Decent service.Good wines.Steak was disappointing. For $52 I expected my NY Strip to be stellar. It was not.A bit over cooked for rare.Just a slab of meat on a plate.No garnish.So lacking in presentation.And not a great steak - thin and not particularly tender or tasty.
