The waiter I think if the most professional was not available. All else was great.

Service was excellent. Food was very good. It was a bit noisy at lunchtime; could barely hear each other speak. A less busier time than noon, perhaps, a little earlier or later would have been a better choice for a quieter atmosphere. Nice place! Classy! Will definitely eat there again!

The service at The Back Burner is top-notch. The food is very good as well. There are a couple of very minor things that take away from a really outstanding experience, but nothing to keep me from returning again and again. I highly recommend you give these guys a try!

We went for lunch and you receive a nice size meal for the price. The price may seem a little high when you look at the menu; however you receive a salad, another side, bread and entree. The food was seasoned just right. We are definitely going back!

Food quality was a little off this latest visit. Had a seafood dish that was overcooked slightly. I'm hoping this was a one-time issue and not due to permanent personnel changes in the kitchen,

The seafood dishes we had were prepared perfectly--a rare occurrence in this area, where fried fish prevails. The server was pleasant and efficient. The atmosphere was reminiscent of neighborhood bistros in France.
