Service was excellent and the space is beautiful, not pretentious at all and just perfect for Vermont. Got to check out the alpacas and the beautiful gardens too! Definitely will go back!

Under new ownership, the former Salem Tavern was sold and renovated. Railroad Street Tavern had…read moretheir soft opening in February 2024. Like before, this family-run place has a casual bar area in the back and the dining room in the front of the house with kitchen in the middle section. The renovated bar area has seating up at the bar (12 high seats) and limited table seating than before in both the bar area and dining room with ample space for more tables, probably so they don't get too overwhelmed as they just opened. The soft opening menu seems streamlined with a limited selection of appetizers, soups, salads, sandwiches, wraps, burgers, pasta dinners, and bar steak. The pricing is moderate here. The bar offers 9 draft beers (there are 12 taps), wine, liquor, and mixed drinks. After hearing about the soft opening for the Railroad Street Tavern, I made a Google* reservation earlier in the day for 7:30pm, since I was passing through Salem later that evening. They are now encouraging phone reservations. When I arrived 20 minutes early, every table and every high seat at the bar was occupied. It took about 12 minutes for seats to open up at the bar. I was given a soft opening menu and offered a drink (got ice water). I quickly decided on the Chicken Parm with penne & bread ($22 plus tax) and added a side salad ($3 plus tax) with homemade ranch dressing. However, the food took a while to come out with others waiting a long time for their food, 50 minutes for my food to come out. My main entree came out first, then the side salad next and then two slices of bread & butter, only after I requested since bread should be included according to the menu. The portions were generous with the chicken parm oven baked in a casserole dish and the penne in a separate deep bowl. The chicken parm was actually baked boneless chicken pieces (not breaded?) smothered with a tasty red sauce topped with a browned layer of melted mozzarella cheese. The penne pasta was cooked just right with a chunky homemade tomato sauce. The side salad had fresh greens, tomatoes, carrots & onions with the creamy ranch on the side. The bread slices were soft and dense. I was so hungry, that I was able to finish everything and then requested the check which was $25.68 with tax and before tip. Overall, the food I had tasted very good and the service was hectic since the place was seated at capacity in both areas. I did have to wait longer than a typical dining experience since the kitchen was overwhelmed and food items trickled out of the kitchen to be served. I would definitely come back once the kinks are worked out and the menu is expanded. I did see other food items come out such as the steamed mussels piled high, thick buffalo chicken wraps, chicken BLT and the hand cut shoestring fries. Those portions were very generous as reflected in the moderate pricing. And their homemade seafood gumbo soup got rave reviews from the customers sitting next to me, which I almost thought about getting with my dinner, but I didn't want to wait any longer than I had to and I barely finished all of my ordered meal.

Our good friends live in Stillwater (NY) in a beautiful log home on the Hudson River. They have…read morebeen talking about their favorite restaurant, Wallie's, forever. Last night we found out why. Wallie's is located in Greenwich (NY - pronounced GREEN-wich) which is just over the Hudson from Schuylerville and about 20 minutes from Saratoga Springs. Well worth the drive. I was told that the restaurant has been around a long time (one of our friends used to go there with his parents as a youngster), but was closed for many years. The current owners did a fabulous renovation job! It's well beyond tavern quality. If they upgraded the seating to plush chairs, you would think you walked into a five-star dining establishment. Our food and beverages did not disappoint. My hubs and I ordered Whiskey Sours which were truly authentic. I'm a martini gal and hadn't had one in years - it was delicious. We shared the Calamari appetizer which was perfectly fried, crispy and not greasy, and the perfect size portion for two. It was accompanied with a thick marinara. We thoroughly enjoyed their house special, Prime Rib (offered in 10 or 14 ounce portions), which was cooked to perfection (rare). The beef was offered with horseradish or horseradish cream (or both!). The mixed vegetables that accompanied the meat were fresh and not overcooked. There was also a baked potato. We were too full to sample dessert. Next time! Our server was accommodating and the timing of delivery of our food was a bit slow (there were only two other tables with patrons) but we were not in a hurry so we didn't mind. Wallie's was a superb find. You won't find better prime rib anywhere. Their menu is limited but they cover all the bases. Items are reasonably priced. I do hope they expand their offerings - or add specials (which they didn't have last night) - to get locals and other regulars to dine there more often. Having said that, it's the prime rib that draws our friends to this place (a 15-20 minute drive from Stillwater). Wallie's bar area is charming. Warm and cozy with bar and table seating. They also have off-street parking. This place is a winner!

Located in Hudson Falls at the corner of Main Street (US 4) and John Street, Bill Sullivan's Diner…read moreis a classic local hometown diner serving breakfast, lunch and dinner in a cozy setting, reopened in 2021. The original Sullivan's Diner was at this same location many years ago with a storied history on their website. This space has been home to other eateries over the years including the Country Corner Café, Phat Chicks Corner Café and The Corner Diner. Sullivan's Diner serves up traditional American fare and comfort foods. The breakfast offerings include eggs, pancakes, French toast, breakfast burritos, breakfast sandwiches, homemade corned beef hash, and breakfast sides. Lunch/Dinner selections include burgers, deli sandwiches, hot sandwiches, club sandwiches, wraps, hot dogs, fish fry, clam fry, soups, and salads. The prices seem reasonable. There is table seating near the front window, booths along the wall and counter seating to the left. The cashier stand is near the front door. Bill was also here chatting with customers. I stopped by Sullivan's Diner recently for lunch. The place slightly busy early afternoon and I could sit anywhere I wanted. I was quickly told they ran out of corned beef hash after sitting down and given a menu. I ordered the Fish Fry Basket ($12.95 plus tax) with an ice water. There was a large party ahead of me still waiting for their food. My order was served to me in about 20 minutes. The fish basket was a good portion of hand breaded and deep fried crisp piece of cod, hand cut golden fries (lightly salted), tartar sauce and a small cup of slaw. The food was a bit greasy, and very hot and tasty. I was given the check afterwards, which was $13.86 with tax and before tip. I will definitely have to take another ride over here for breakfast!

It was the perfect setting for a memorable holiday dinner. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with friendly, attentive service from our server, Jamie. The ambiance was warm, inviting, and rich with history, making us feel like we had stepped back in time. We started with an Old Fashioned made with Smugglers' Notch bourbon for me and a refreshing Blueberry Refresher for my wife. The homemade cranberry fritters served with Vermont maple butter were an outstanding way to begin the meal. Next came bowls of the delicious Cheddar & Ale Onion Soup, followed by the Maple Butter & Walnut Encrusted Brie served with Vermont apples and toasted baguette--an excellent combination of sweet, savory, and crunchy flavors. Our entrees were preceded by fresh field greens salads with balsamic vinaigrette and blue cheese crumbles, along with warm, freshly baked bread. I thoroughly enjoyed the Traditional Pot Roast--tender brisket slow-cooked in the tavern's Circa 1790 Amber Ale with rich pan gravy. My wife chose the Scrod with pumpkin seeds, butter, Chardonnay, and lemon, which was perfectly prepared and beautifully balanced. To finish, we shared the Cranberry & Apple Crisp topped with local vanilla ice cream and whipped cream--a fittingly New England ending to an exceptional meal. The combination of outstanding food, welcoming hospitality, and the unique historic atmosphere made for a wonderful dining experience. If you're visiting Manchester, Ye Olde Tavern is well worth a visit, especially if you're looking to enjoy classic Vermont cuisine in one of the state's most historic settings.

Service was very attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable. Taylor was one of the best servers we've had in a long time. Everything is made fresh daily, and if you sit at the Chef's Counter, you'll see it first hand. You'll also get great descriptions of everything from the awesome Chefs and maybe get to try something extra too. I recommend using the reservation system on their website and specify your seating preferences. You can choose from the Chef's Counter, the bar, a high-top table, a low table, or an outdoor table (weather permitting). We also appreciated them asking about food allergies on the reservation system too and they verified it when we arrived. We were so impressed with the unique menu options that are offered in the appetizers, small shareable plates, main courses, desserts, and drinks. We are already planning on coming back Sunday for brunch and know we'll be back again soon for dinner.
