I miss this place more than any other place in Burlington. First, let's deal with the most common criticism: the wait. Yes, it can be long. BUT, it's made much worse if you decide to crowd the...

Two New Yorkers and a Chicagoan stuck up on a mountain in the middle of Route 125 at English Camp had the desire to brunch. Naturally, this meant we drove up to Burlington. Since I don't know...

The Cluse may not need more reviews--if you live near Burlington and don't know about it, you're not paying attention, if you're visiting, just ask any local--but out of love and appreciation I'll add...
