    Went for dinner, had a reservation for 6 people at 6 pm. We were there at 10 of 6 and were seated quickly. It went downhill from there. The waitress was unable to handle a table of 6 and the other two or 3 more she had. We waited well over an hour to be served. She overcharged us, brought the wrong food, and never came to refill drinks. The food was just ok, salmon was overcooked, the rolls were supposed to be warm but she had left them to wait too long. The young man working with her was running his tail off but couldn't make up for her poor service. It's very loud and difficult to hear even those at your own table, so it's not a place to have dinner and a conversation. Overall it was a big disappointment.

    Randomly found this spot on our drive back from Mount Snow. Cozy atmosphere and kind staff. I got clam chowder and the maryland style lump crab cakes. Food was delicious. I loved the sides that the crab cakes came with. Would definitely come back next time I go to Mount Snow.

    This plaque puts The Anchor in the same league with Woodman's of Essex (MA), where whole-belly clams were invented.

    The seafood in this picturesque but landlocked little city in southern VT is far better than a veteran shellfish guy like me could have ever expected. The clam chowder was hot, creamy and bursting with flavor. It was equal or better than what I've had along the CT shoreline, and that's a fact. I ordered a cup and after one taste, I wish I had ordered a bowl. My whole-belly fried clams were reasonably priced and beyond expectations. Our waitress Lisa L. said they were the best in VT. She was not boasting. They were crispy, not at all greasy and with a squirt of lemon and dollop of perfectly blended tartar sauce, it was a culinary moment I'll savor for the long winter ahead. My wife had fried scallops and said they were excellent. My only regret is not having enough appetite to start with some steamed mussels. My only regret

    Food: Came here with a large party to celebrate a special occasion! Heard/read great things about this place and was excited to finally try it out. I got their salmon dish and it was definitely hearty- the servings are fairly large here and so you'll definitely not leave here hungry! Cost: The price seemed reasonable given the type of cuisine they serve and location. Environment: This establishment is extremely large- they also had an upstairs so if you're looking for a place that can cater to a large party, check this place out! Service: I did feel that it took some time for our dishes to come out however we were in a fairly large party and so that could've played a large role. Uniqueness: If you're in town and craving some seafood dishes- highly recommend at least trying out this place once! I wasn't too big of a fan, the dishes seemed a little to generic but overall I enjoyed the time spent here celebrating an important event!

    The people were so sweet shout out to Dianna for being an amazing hostess. Overall food was great, the surf and turf was incredible highly recommend that. The the ambiance was perfect for Christmas they were playing music and dressed festively.

    Excellent service, super attentive and quick. Great food for the area! We ordered French onion soup and clam chowder to start which we quickly finished and then tackled the big sized entrees. Ambience friendly and cozy. Guests are a mixture of townies and visitors. Overall after a long day of skiing at mount snow this is a great spot to relax and enjoy a meal before you nod off to an early night!

    Folly Restaurant is a fine dining restaurant in Wilmington, VT. This Fall, we visited Folly with…read morefamily who have a house in the area. They had been raving about it for weeks. For good reasons. Our family informed us that the husband and wife owners of Folly used to be based in New York City. I believe they are the only two people operating Folly. The wife is front of house and the husband is the chef. They are able to manage this because the upscale dining room is small, and because they're good at what they do. We shared a very well curated cheese plate and I also tried some of my wife's Folly Salad, with arugula, spinach, dried cranberries, thin-sliced pears and a Poppy Seed dressing. Well presented and simple, but balanced flavors. I ordered a strip steak with truffle leek cream, which was served with al dente green beans and fried farm potatoes. The steak was sliced in large strips to display a perfect medium rare. It was tender and delicious. The sides were on point too. I also tried a bite or two of the ricotta gnocchi with vodka sauce and Misty Knoll bone in chicken with wilted spinach, shiitakes and bacon. Both looked and tasted great. I doubt that there is a better fine dining experience in the area. Be sure to make reservations. There aren't many tables and the food is reasonably-priced for this level of experience. 5 Stars

It's clearly a husband-and-wife operation, and while some might find that charming, I found it frustrating. As someone who works in the industry, I have no problem waiting or understanding when someone's busy. But it was hard to get her attention, and she seemed annoyed even pouring us a second glass of wine. The food took forever, and it honestly felt like they used the "intimate experience" as an excuse for the slow pace while charging whatever they want. It's one of those places people like the idea of more than the actual experience. I don't usually write reviews, but I left feeling pretty annoyed. For the time and money, there are definitely better options around.
