Sunset Bistro On The Waterfront

We went again because the first time we visited the restaurant everything was spectacular, from the food to the attention of the staff. Jibran (I don't know if I have spelled his name correctly, I apologize if it is not correct) the Mexican guy who served us was very fast and attentive (when we entered, it was quite cold outside, he asked us if we wanted to drink something so We asked him for hot chocolate; he brought it pretty quickly despite having the restaurant packed to capacity. We had a soup of the day accompanied with garlic bread (both were excellent) and then two brunch options, French toast and poutine with eggs fried, both also very delicious. We discovered the place by chance one day when we were walking along the Waterfront and the truth is, we are very happy with having seen it. Thank you very much for your work!

This is a great spot to grab a bite in downtown Burlington. The food was delicious and affordable and the service was phenomenal. Our server Roxanne was super kind and patient. She made helpful meal recommendations which really goes a long when dining with picky-eaters and food allergies. She was very attentive in making sure we had everything we needed and never left our beverages empty. Can’t wait to visit again!

We came in today for lunch, served by Anna. She made us feel welcome and made us laugh. Service was quick and food was delicious.
Definitely going back, if you haven't been yet we highly recommend you do.

We enjoyed a wonderful lunch at Sunset Bistro with friends. We all had great food and friendly unrushed service. What came as the only (unpleasant) surprise was the significantly increased prices and that these are not as advertised on the website on line. Some of the price differences were more than 30% higher.

Although we really like this restaurant, unfortunately, they may have overpriced themselves for many people now.

Booked a reservation (and got confirmation via open table) for my wife's birthday on a Monday, went to the restaurant, discovered they are closed on Mondays!

Mistakes happen. Nobody is perfect. But how a restaurant responds to those mistakes is very telling. Integrity and honesty goes a long and the staff and manager lacked both. Our meal was very late and I had simply asked what was happening. The person I asked never came back and just avoided us. Our server came to our table and didn't address the issue even though the kids meal that came out first for my kids was already done but we still hadn't gotten our appetizer 30 mins later. No one had offered us water. Still no one came to address our late meals so I went to ask someone and sure enough I saw a table that ordered after us receive the same appetizer we were still waiting for. Are we second class citizens? Did they figure we were already waiting so they wouldn't bother trying to make things better? The manager just said the kitchen was backed up instead of telling us the truth. If it was backed up why did a table who ordered after us get their food first. We finally got our appetizer and 2 mins later our entrees arrived. The manager offered to give us a complimentary meal and dessert. We were ready to go and the manager offered us a free dessert and said it would come out right away. That wasn't sure, we had to wait again. Given how they handled the customer service we won't be going back. So many amazing restaurants in downtown Burlington we don't need to go here again. It's a shame because the food was actually good!

Went here for brunch and loved it! The food was delicious and the overall atmosphere was fantastic

The service was exceptional- our server Ana, was friendly, polite, super attentive and always made us feel welcome. Really wonderful hospitality!

Was in the area and decided to check this place out for breakfast. Very glad we did as the hostess was very kind and caring, the food delicious and homey, and the atmosphere pleasant and charming. Will definitely be coming back here whenever I’m in the neighborhood

I was expecting much more based the advertising on Instagram as a place to go for a Mother’s Day experience. Brunch was over and we were offered the regular menu or an over price set menu. Food was mediocre at best. Service was poor and the experience very disappointing. Will not return.

Everything we ordered was absolutely amazing. The Benedict was cooked to order, pasta sauce was super delicious, and the appetizers were so yummy. Our server Yasmina took extra care of us and made our experience even better.
I'm definitely coming back to try more of the rich menu.

Fluked across this gem. Was looking for a place close by to grab dinner and found Sunset Bistro.
Made a reservation and was glad we did. It filled up quite quickly.
Service was outstanding and quick. Food was very reasonable and delicious. Good sized portions as well. I think we have found our go to dinner spot A+

Great menu with lots of variety, fantastic location, warm and friendly service, all at a great price! Definitely returning!

I had the smoked salmon and goat cheese salad. The salad was huge (had to take part home) and I was astonished at the amount of smoked salmon on it. Quality ingredients that balanced well! Started with the chili/lime chicken bites which were very high quality, tender, lightly battered, artistically presented and absolutely delicious. Yum!

The service at this establishment is A1 terrible. Went for a birthday brunch waited over 45 minutes. The people behind us were waiting well over an hour. We wind up leaving. We'll never go back!

I wish I could give it a zero star! I booked a table 3 weeks in advance for 8 people to celebrate a birthday! We were stuffed in a corner and completely forgotten about! We waited over an hour and ended up walking out. After asking repeatedly for our even just our coffee’s we were treated as if we were a nuisance for even asking! Not once we’re we checked on or even apologized to for the horrendous service. We all left hungry and angry.

I went for lunch yesterday and the service was fantastic and super friendly. Will definitely be going again. Thank you guys xoxo for making my experience a positive one.

Very lovely Bistro. Quiet and bright. Service is top notch. We made a reservation and even though it was quite empty when we arrived, it filled quite quickly so I highly suggest making a reservation.
Food was delicious and appealing to the eye on the plate. Generous portions at a very affordable price. Variety of choices on the menu as well.
Will definitely be returning.

A beautiful setting. Comfy, cozy and laid back yet still higher style than the norm. Food was delicious. Fresh and well prepared. Prices are moderate. The staff is friendly and efficient.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at a waterfront restaurant and bar in Burlington called Sunset Bistro and I must say, the experience was absolutely delightful. From the moment I walked in, I was struck by the stunning views, which were perfectly complemented by the restaurant's tasteful decor.

As for the food, it was simply outstanding. I started with the Crispy lime chicken and Bacon wrapped scallop which was fresh and expertly prepared. For our main course, we opted for the Steak frites (medium rare) and Pesto capellini - pan seared black tiger shrimp, red onion, sundried, tomato, roasted red pepper, & pesto sauce which was cooked to perfection and complemented the flavours. And of course, no waterfront meal is complete without a refreshing cocktail, and the bar did not disappoint in that regard either, tried the Watermelon Martini and Negroni.

For desserts recommend the Strawberry shortbread.

The service was impeccable as well - the staff were attentive and friendly, without being intrusive. All in all, I had a wonderful dining experience at this waterfront restaurant and bar and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great meal with a beautiful view.

Loved the place. Breakfast was delicious; Lots of variety. Courteous staff. Highly recommended!

I came to visit on April 16th for brunch with one other family member. It was my first time visiting Sunset Bistro. Upon walking in I was asked if we had reservations and I communicated back that we didn't. Her response: "Make sure for next time you're booking a reservation especially on weekends, you're okay this time" Not the way to speak to a first time customer. After getting a seat and orders taken both mine and my family members order was wrong which shows lack of care. The food was good and when we were done we sat waiting for the bill for way too long with nobody asking if we were ready for the bill. (We were sitting right beside the waiters till where they were passing constantly)

Decided to go check out Sunset Bistro, best decision, the food was amazing, service was excellent, the price was right, highly recommend.

Absolutely amazing dinner at Sunset Bistro on the Waterfront.
Calamari was tender and cooked perfectly and the Chicken Marsala was amazing. We will be back for sure.

If you haven't checked this place out yet, you NEED to go. They have a huge menu serving food from breakfast to dinner. Huge portions at a great price. We went there for brunch and mimosas. We had a great time. The gentleman who served us, was so down to earth and accommodated all our needs. He went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and special. This will be our new go to spot. So happy we walked in today.

After passing the Bistro on our way home we decided to stop in today and we were certainly glad we did. The Bistro has a very nice decor with lots of seating (bar area and dining room) our server gave us both the breakfast and dinner menus which gave my wife a chance to order an omelet and i ordered from the dinner menu the grilled salmon. My wifes omelet was the vegetarian selection with homefries and a small fruit cup along with Multi grain toast. My salmon was on a bed of mashed potatoes with a side of grilled seasonal vegetables. Both our meals excellent and beautifully presented. The service we received from Max was excellent a great host. Great prices and selection as well. This restaurant should not be missed as its a great addition to the downtown dining scene.

It was my first time ordering from you guys via skip the dishes. I ordered the benedicts.the food was warm but the eggs were not poached or running as stated in your menu.
