Taverna Khione - Shelburne

Food was light and delicious, authentic Greek cuisine. However, the owner/chef gave us the impression we were a nuisance. He was unhelpful and uncommunicative. Even though the food was delicious this was not a pleasant experience in the least! The addition of a friendly, welcoming waitress/waiter is a must if the restaurant is to survive. Due to unwelcoming experience I can only give the restaurant a 2 although the food was good.

I've eaten here a few times and have never been disappointed. It's a quiet atmosphere and a beautiful setting that offers up refined, authentic Greek flavors. The wine list is refreshingly diverse, with a number of regional Greek selections. Entrees are delicious I'm a big fan of the scallops and moussaka but the appetizers are my favorite. Do not miss the saganaki (the light, crispy, tangy fried cheese that dreams are made of). The service has been great. The waiter was helpful with recommendations. Great for celebrating my sister's college graduation, as well as a spontaneous weekend dinner out.

We were a group, there for several hours.. our waitress was attentive and helpful.. think she was the only waitress on a weeknight....ordered the bread/spreads..sorry do not remember the greek name....all were excellent.. not enuff bread.... we had couple of orders of the sesame studded fried feta...stuffed grape leaves... excellent....wines/ beers kept flowing.. but we were there for the food, and company... two of us had spanakopita and a white bean salad ... delicious... my birthday boy 's goat 'was OK '.. swordfish and lamb dinners came with potatoes and some cooked greens... the latter two were waaaay too salty to eat.... we asked for replacement veggies... 2nd batch. as salty as the first. 3rd try was better... but a bit of a pall over dinner.... so we moved onto desserts/ coffee/ ouzo...all were good..lots of jokes about hope the ouzo isn 't salty ... he he he... will we go back? don 't know... lots of excellent choices in Shelburne.

Excellent food. Great service. Owner and chef has wonderful knowledge. Try it if your in the Burlington area!

A simple, pleasant atmosphere with an easy-going (and attentive) staff. Very amiable people; I think our waiter spent all his down time chatting with an older couple around the corner from the bar. I don't often order sea food around VT, but the fellow at the bar recommended the special and it was delicious! A grilled platter of mackerel, sardines and razor clams. Simply prepared, but so good. The mackerel was fresh, mild and buttery (pretty impressive for such an oily fish). We enjoyed the house red and the bread variety of spreads too (a walnut bread and garlic spread, a tziki spread, a red pepper and feta, a fava bean spread). Looking forward to trying more of their dishes seeing if they become a favorite.
