Excellent Food, Friendly, Attentive Staff, Easy to make Reservations. Tables near the bar have a light over each table that is incredibly bright – flood-light type bulbs. Either reduce the wattage, or put on a dimmer. I liked the paintings and mirrors but there is, at least, an inch of dust on the ornate frames. Ladies bathroom could use an update. But the food was fresh, and delicious. We enjoyed our evening out.

What a fantastic Easter brunch we had. The service was outstanding and the Maine lobster omelet and beef wellington were amazing. We also tried the Cucumber bloody Mary’s and they were very good as well. Well worth the short drive out of Burlington.

Kyle(server) took very good care of us. He accommodated our diet requests and was very knowledgeable about the food and wine. The pear salad with the melted blue cheese was divine. It’s a great restaurant wonderful staff. Easy parking.

Food was delicious. Escargot were not rubbery. Schnitzel had an incredible lemony butter sauce that went so well with smooth mashed potatoes. Their maple crème brûlée had a gorgeous, silky texture. The waiters were professional and competent, food was out hot and quickly, and worth the cost. The chef even came out and said hello. While it was the end of the night, staff were still friendly as they wrapped up service. The ambiance was lovely, dark, and romantic. I wish I lived closer to go again!

Pauline’s had great reviews, but it was the photos of their cuisine that made us decide to check it out. We were NOT disappointed. The staff is super friendly and the service was great! The filet was one of the best I’ve ever had and the crab cakes and shrimp apps were A+. Pauline’s is a “hidden gem” as one of the employees stated and that is surly no lie.

It’s been a while since I enjoyed dinner at Pauline”s. I left happy and full! Our waitress, Mitzie, was fantastic, attentive, friendly, personable. Will not wait as long to return! Food was delicious!

A Lovely Experience – Tasty Dishes. Service was kind. Entree Portion was small… Steak Medalion dish offered 3 pieces of about 2″‘s and were thin – it was $30.00 – the smallest portion of steak experienced at higher-end resturant for the price. We filled up on the lovely desert. Both my wife and I felt the portions could be larger and would discourage us from visiting as much as we would like.

Good wasn’t completely terrible, but the service wasn’t very good. The place was very crowded, full of old people, and there seemed to only be two waitresses working the entire restaurant. It just wasn’t very efficient.

This was my first time at Pauline’s. My girlfriend raves about it but they must have had an “off night”. We had 4 people eating and not one of us enjoyed our meal. It was actually quite the disappointment.
