Muddy Waters

• The ambiance.
• The price of a newspaper.

“As you walk into muddy waters you can feel a since of history in the building. It's an old building with all the charm that comes along with that. Comfortable seating with an ambiance that is magical. The coffee is exceptional and the pastries are good. This is a place where you can linger all day long just watching people come and go. Church street is jammed packed with coffee houses but this one is special by far.”

• My wifes' salad was very good.
• My salad was a disaster.

“My wife and are retired and travel to Burlington about once a week for shopping and lunch. About once a month, for years, we have had lunch at Sweet Tomatoes. Satisfactory. I ordered the En tree Caesar Salad with Anchovies and other ingredients. The salad arrived with only lettuce, weak dressing, dried out tasteless chicken and nothing else. I finally got the waitress attention and she brought 3 anchovies. The waitress never returned to check on our lunch. The chicken was too tasteless to eat. When the bill arrived I asked the waitress to advise the food prep ingredients were missing from the salad, the dressing was tasteless and chicken inedible. I didn't see anyone who appeared to be a Manager to report my disappointment.”

Souza's Brazilian Restaurant

• Atmosphere, unique and memorable experience, very good food.
• Small place, understaffed (the night we went).

“Souza's is definitely a different dining experience. It is little small but the decor is colorful, and its size adds to its energy. The ambiance I would describe as "active" and busy. While my wife and had gone there to celebrate our wedding anniversary, I would not describe it as romantic. However, it certainly is memorable and not only do I not regret going, i would recommend it for someone wanting to try something unique. Children are welcome, but I would not really describe it as family-friendly because the atmosphere is a little mature and the space too tight; if your kids are brats, doesn't go here. It certainly isn't cheap but while it is pricey you will eat well and the concept is worth paying for. The food was overall good to very good; there were a couple of stand-out items like the opening of bean soup, the roast lamb, and the grilled pineapple, but the sirloin tips were really tough and the fillet mignon a tad overdone. They service was average; although the staff were knowledgeable and friendly they seemed to be stretched a little thin; I think they would have done better if they were not understaffed. I recommend reservations, although they didn't give me the kind of table I had asked for when I called; instead of giving me something on the side we ended up in the center where the traffic was. By the way, the place was absolutely freezing. Overall if you go with a desire for an interesting evening and good food, you will enjoy yourself.”

• Great food for a decent price.
• Not conducive to sitting and eating.

“Great place to stop if you like Mediterranean pita and do not mind a hands on approach to good food. Not the best place to sit and eat but that gives a good excuse to grab your food and enjoy it in the park or on Church St. Never had a bad experience.”
