Led by General Manager Krisztian Martin and Executive Chef Dominic Miller, the establishment goes out of its way to make sure each guest has a personal experience that is prepared just right for them and maintains the motto “delight every guest" one at a time.

The careful attention to the needs of each patron is what sets Burtons apart from the competition. While many restaurants may view special requests for dietary needs as a pain, Burtons welcomes requests. In fact, they have made a business out of it. 

The staff at Burtons pride themselves on the integrity of high-quality meals that are strategically curated to ensure nothing a guest is allergic to will end up on their plate. In addition, Burtons does not keep a well for beverages and only preserves drinks on their top shelf to ensure the freshest quality. Through the use of dedicated fryers for food that is from different categories such as french fries, seafood and poultry, the restaurant alleviates the burden of having to worry if items have been mixed with something that may have been used to prepare another dish. 

Chefs at Burtons Grill & Bar are fanatical about food preparation and do not take any shortcuts when a guest makes a request. The staff goes the extra mile to make use of allergy-kits, which include a fresh cutting board, a new knife, a thermometer and tongs.
