I will call it the Edson Hill "experience." Found ever so randomly through a Google search (and really just booked for Christmas dinner--whatever restaurant we could find!), we ended up actually going the following day, for an early dinner, as our last dinner out in Stowe. The 2.6 mile drive down the local, rural road off (Mountain) the main road is what can only be described as a combination of spooky yet mildly thrilling. There was no snow on the ground, but even with blacktop conditions, the road can seem slightly treacherous to some. There were lights of beautiful, big houses in the woodsy distance, but by and large, it is a dark drive at night. So there's that. (I do think that it's probably a very beautiful drive on a beautiful sunny late spring or summer day.) We finally arrive and park in the parking lot. The establishment (much what seemed like all buildings in Stowe are around the holidays) was decked out and lit up beautifully on the outside. The main entrance was not all that conspicuous looking but we opened it and were immediately greeted by a nice man who showed us towards the hostess area. The two hostesses were very friendly, took our coats and showed us to our table. We passed through this incredibly cozy living room space, where what I could assume a guest at the Edson Hill house was relaxing by the fireplace with a book and glass of wine. We stepped into the beautifully decorated Winter Dining Area / Room, where we were the first ones to be seated. It felt like it was our very own private gorgeous space! I absolutely loved the decor and the ambiance was so inviting, cozy yet stylistic in a rustic-chic Vermont way. Margot was our waitress and she was so kind and friendly, helpful along the way with recommendations and eager to answer any questions we had. She also gave us some recommendations for some last minute local Vermont gifts and goodies (think cheese, chocolate, jams, pickles, spicy sauces and of course, MAPLE SYRUP). We ordered 2 non-alcoholic beverages which were delicious and refreshing. Everything at Edson Hill is also locally sourced, as you can see at the bottom of their menu. We had the cheese board - the pickles and pickled carrots paired perfectly with the 4 different cheese we had. The fresh bread was a big hit too, brought out literally seconds before from the oven. The swordfish was so delicious and we also shared the arugula-beet salad. My only slight complaint with my salad was that it was supposed to have candied pecans, which in my opinion, really make the salad extraordinary. There were only about 3 pecans in total. So that was a bummer. We also had hoped the desert that Margot had sold us on would have been a little bit better than it actually was, though it wasn't horrible or anything. 9/10 recommend for an exquisite place! If you can stay here too, I'm sure that is just as divine as the dining experience. Will be returning for sure once back in beautiful Stowe, VT.

The basque anchovies were perfectly cooked and the charcuterie type arrangement that came with it was perfect. To top it all off, we were offered a special desert for the night which was Harry Potter butter beer inspired covered with pretzels. I will be thinking about that dessert for the rest of time. We even learned after the fact that it was gluten free. To the chef and all the staff - thank you for a wonderful evening, a superb meal, and good service. I wish you all the success. Possibly even a third location in Chicago :)

The first thing we noticed when we walked in the door was that Christmas smacked us in the face with the best smelling Christmas Tree candle , burning in a super cute entryway. I could hardly wait to get inside to see what else this place had in store. First, there was a fireplace and a couch and a table. In the rest of the dining area, we're all high tops. Not so high that a barely over 5 foot person such as myself couldn't sit comfortably. Our waitstaff (there were two) and were great about offering menu suggestions when I shared flavor profiles I might be looking for and they were attentive and so pleasant. They had super cute Christmas decorations, and were putting up more while we were there. The vibe is super warm and welcoming, and for a short while you feel like you stepped back in time. The tiramisu martini was delicious, as was the blood orange martini. I had the cauliflower with juju sauce at the recommendation of the waitress, and it was honestly the best cauliflower I've ever had! My husband enjoyed his macaroni and cheese with buffalo and bleu as well. The owner/chef, Leslie, came and chatted with us for a little bit before we were on our way. We learned that in the summer they hold concerts, and they have a golf course. There is a distillery on site as well. Everything about this place was excellent, and we are already planning a day date to go back and try more menu items!

We made reservations at the bar as they did not have availability anywhere else in the restaurant. Ambiance 1/5 (pictures attached): when sitting down it was warm which was nice because it was cold outside. However, meanwhile little bugs surrounded us before every bite and every drink of wine. The entire time we were swatting away these little gnats. Food 2/5: the kale Cesar was the only thing we tried that was worth the try. The steak was around $60 and was not even worth $20. It was covered in a wine sauce which I think was to mask the chewiness of the steak. The steak was just the opposite of appetizing unless you were absolutely starved. Meanwhile the ravioli was a hodge podge of corn, cream, and veggies which truly made no sense in combination. In addition, the peppers were incredibly spicy, which the server remarked was due to that specific pepper. At the end of the dinner, the steak got comped, but if you are coming to dinner in this area, I would look elsewhere. We were so hungry after and we still did not eat and resorted to running to the nearest gas station that was open just to grab a few snacks and protein bars. Overall the atmosphere and food was below sub par.
