Burlington has a lot of good food. Really. It does. But what separates Burlington's food scene from that of the major food capitals (NYC, Chicago, Montreal, etc...) that I've been to in the US is its lack of high-end creativity. Sure, the comfort food is certainly here, and I'll be the last person to complain. But where the hell does one go to try something new and adventurous? Up until now, there wasn't really anywhere to go to satisfy said urge.
Bluebird Tavern, boys and girls, seems to be the answer to the riddle. I've yet to set foot inside the restaurant, but already know the menu backwards and forwards. Check back tomorrow if such menu items as Uni (sea urchin roe), black spaghetti with squid, monkfish cheeks and steak tartare seem in any way appealing. I know I'm excited, and in a town like this one, a restaurant really needs the support of the public to stay afloat - especially one like Bluebird Tavern. The more people that get excited about it, the better.
