After reading the reviews for this restaurant, I was jacked to try it out, I mean I was really pumped to visit.
We were there for our reservation of 8pm. After being seated we were asked what type of water we would like with dinner. Then we waited...for 25 MINUTES, that's TWENTY FIVE...to get a drink order!! 25 minutes to get a beer in front of me. After 20 minutes, and watching the table next to us get attended to 4 times!!!!, we were wondering if we left...would anyone notice? Eventually, we got to order. The amuse buche and appetizers were amazing. The entrees were good. I asked the server about a certain dish and he said "this i s our lightest dish, you should have the beef". What? Okay, that's not what I asked, but I'll take your word for it. It must have been because I'm a larger guy at 6'-3". But cmon...the steak was good, but it wasn't to die for and I was looking for something other than what I already cook to perfection on my own grill every weekend. The restaurant is only 10 or so tables and with 3 or 4 servers we should have been looked after a little better.
Chef, I thought your food was excellant. Hire new wait staff.
As well, I couldn't even talk to my wife because we were screaming over the other tables and the sounds coming from the kitchen. (we sat next to the bar)
After our entree we were so annoyed we just wanted to leave. We asked for our bill when offered the dessert menu and bought a klondike bar at the 7-11.
Unfortunately, we won't be returning because of everything else but the food.
Too bad...I was really looking forward to a great night out away from the 6 month old. And for the price of a meal here, I deserved better service.

Matteo, you need to be very proud of yourself and your staff, this was a positive adventure to us . We very much enjoyed it.
You wait staff are terrific and your cook staff is wonderful.
Can't wait till we return for another adventure.
Keep up the great work. I will surely pass on a great word.
I have been reading the reviews of some these people, and have to laugh a little bit at the notion of Black Tree being pretentious. The restaurant is in a strip mall with the likes of Gino's Pizza and Sammy's Donair! I think the word that they are looking for is sophistication not pretension (is that a word?). Something that Burlington's restaurant scene is sorely lacking. I am so sick and tired of going to restautrant's in this town and only seeing menu's with- Chicken - Beef - and Salmon!!
Going out to dinner for me is all about the entire experience. No matter when, it is always a special event for me to go out and try something new that I would never have at home. A visit to The Black Tree is sure to be a special occasion if you visit. We had the most wonderful time enjoying each and every innovative dish that came out of the kitchen. Yes, there were foams, bubbles and what not, but if you are a food lover then this just gets you more excited. I challenge you to name one place in Burlington that you can find this sort of original type cuisine? Bet you haven't thought of one have you? I applaude Matheo for being courageous enough to do this sort of thing in Burlington. Someone finally has the coulons to express their culinary talents in this very picky, and dare I say it, boring restaurant scene.
I thoroughly enjoy food and the experience of going out to dinner. I love it so much that I work in the industry myself. From a culinary stand point the things that are being created at this restaurant are nothing short of amazing. I have a top ten list of the best meals I have ever had in my 34 years of living.
Meals from all over the world from Italy to Thailand to Montreal top this list and I can say without a shadow of a doubt this meal I had on New Years made the list.
As for the black and white movies.....the whole point is to make a very small restaurant seem bigger. You would be staring at a concrete wall if they didn't do something there. I thought this was brilliant ,as I was the one facing outside.
Listen, if you ignore the rest of this message fine, just go to the Black Tree and experience a very cool night. Alright?!?!

I read 'mr. harry's' review and it slowed me down discovering this little jem. There is nothing pretentious about this place. I'm not going to bother going into details but I strongly urge anyone who has heard of this place to call now and reserve. If burlington doesn't pack this place nightly there's something wrong with this town that acts as if it is a cultural mecca. I challenge this city to make burlington worthy of such a culinary entity. Pretentious? no. Challenging to the faint of heart and unadventurous? definitely.
I love the movies-old school superman with new school superdining is definitely an experience not to be missed.

Great little place. You quickly forget that your in a strip mall. Matteo came out to chat and truely seems to have a passion for what he does. Not somewhere to go if you are hoping to get in and out quickly. Our dining experience lasted for over 2 hrs (and that was without coffee/digestif).
