Went to visit on opening weekend and while the atmosphere itself was pleasant and the decor felt very fitting for the space the service unfortunately did not match. There was no signage upon entering explaining we had to wait for a host/hostess so we awkwardly waited around for 15 minutes or so just to have a member of staff come speak to us and explain the process. We were then told thered be a 15 minute wait and even though we saw parties leave we were still waiting to be seated. Once finally seated we did have a great experience ordering our wines and the waiter was very helpful and knowledgeable about the wines which resulted in us all ordering a glass of something very tasty. However, we also ordered a single cheese board which perceivable our waiter forgot about and then it did not arrive for probably an hour. In the meantime our waiter did apologize for the wait however it would have been nice if they remedied the mistake with a complimentary glass of wine or basket of bread while we waited. We understood it was opening weekend and that operations are a work in progress but the service seemed scrambled for a seemingly small crowd on a Saturday. Will revisit again but probably not until they get more settled in.

If you are visiting or living in Burlington and love wine and cheese Dedalus is not to be passed over. The staff in all corners are top notch -- approachable, professional, knowledgeable, generous, passionate, and brave. While they mostly have higher than average quality and priced wines, they offer many great value wines, particularly through the wine club. Dedalus introduced me to several $10-15 wines that are home runs in terms of value which is a great way to not feel so guilty delving into their many special occasion offerings. If you are interested in $20-40 bottles of wine this is heaven. For the upmarket customers youve come to the right place as well. Dedalus truly joins the ranks as one of the few places in the area that understand your palate and will help you break out of your loyalty to the same old labels and terroir youve been enjoying but maybe feel a little tired of. The space they have created in the old Burlington furniture store is the perfect marriage of an Italian grocery store, wine cave, and tapas bar. Its romantic but I also feel welcome enjoying some alone time.

Dedalus is an absolutely fantastic wine shop. Although they concentrate on up-scale wines, they are NOT wine snobs. To be sure, some of their wines are pricey but the majority are within the $10 - $25/bottle price range. The wines here are all good values, no matter how much youre willing to spend. The staff is uniformly well-informed and helpful. Looking for a wine to pair with dinner? Theyll give you multiple selections to choose from, without busting your budget. Weve been members of their wine club for 3 years. In that time, I can recall exactly ONE wine that we did not care for. They love wine at Dedalus and treat both the wines and their customers with respect.

Visited for a friends birthday recently. This was a nice change of pace from the bar scene. Not being familiar with wines I was anxious about what to order, however the servers were very helpful. More importantly, they were willing to teach rather than being pretentious. Really appreciated that. It is a fun spot to enjoy a glass of wine!
