Our one major complaint was the speed of service: WAY too fast. We had barely started on our appetizer when the salad came out, then after only a few bites of salad, our entrees came. The waitress was young, she obviously hadn't been taught to pace the meal correctly.

Restaurant Review: Halverson's Upstreet Cafe
Halverson's is a great little pub-type restaurant located on Church Street in Burlington. Rick and I split the almond-crusted brie & raspberry sauce appetizer--very nice. Then we split a fairly decent Caesar salad, dressing was homemade, good but not fantastic. I had the Teryaki Chicken sandwich (topped with grilled pineapple and onion). The sauce was tasty, but the sandwich was unnecessarily drenched in the stuff. I would have much preferred a little extra on the side. The french fries were nice and crispy. Rick had the Mediterranean Pasta, a nice mix of artichoke, olives, sun-dried tomato and chicken. He enjoyed it very much.

although it was empty when we arrived, the place filled up fast. I suspect it was managements desire to turn around tables which made the meal so fast. I will certainly go back if we are planing to catch a show or have someplace we need to be. There are times when you seek fast service.
I should point out the portion sizes were very generous. We could have stopped at the appetizer and had enough to call it a meal. The Brie came with crackers, grapes and apples. (It tasted best with the apples!)
