Excellent Christmas decorations, good service and great drinks! Very cold by the front door, heavier/fuller curtains for the draft would be great.

Excellent evening! The atmosphere, food and service were outstanding. The holiday decorations made for a very seasonal presentation. The haddock and short ribs were very good.

Meal came out still frozen in the middle. Not what I would expect from a restaurant serving $38 entrees. Christmas decorations are the only thing nice about this restaurant.

The Burleigh was really nice. It was a very small place (only a few tables) because they made part of the restaurant into a larger bar space, probably because of the Christmas Prelude happening over the weekend. The food was delicious although it was a somewhat small menu. The service was great. We enjoyed it very much!

The Burleigh experience last night was basically ideal. Prelude is an annual festival in Kennebunk/Kennebunkport, and as a result the Burleogh was far more crowded than usual. It didn’t make a difference. The bartenders were funny, fast, and professional. After enjoying our drinks, our server found her way quickly to our table through the happy throng, and the food was excellent. The baked goat cheese is the best I’ve had, and the quality of the experience was wonderful.

We made reservations weeks ahead, to dine during the Christmas Prelude. Ambience is excellent, with the bar and dining room decked out in holiday decorations. Sat near the door, a little drafty with people coming in and out but it bother us too much. Food was delicious, however $3 for an extra 5 crackers is a little steep, and our Short rib croquettes were lacking short rib. Our drinks were delicious. Value is okay, but service and atmosphere made up for it!
