Owner Kristo Souris ("kids could never pronounce my name so I just went by Sour") MC's behind the bar and mixes balanced, scrumptious cocktails--last night I had the Peach Bourbon Paper Plane for which Kris charred the peaches for extra complexity and depth. Indeed! The Corn Agnolotti comprised a toothsome house made pasta filled with Vermont cheese nestled in a rich Sungold Tomato Brodo (little bursts of bright tomato offsetting the garlic-rich corn-studded broth). On another visit, the Zucchini fritters transcended their name by a magnitude of 10; crispy Salt Cod Croquettes were elevated by a pickled ramp tartar sauce, fennel radish salad, and caper berries. The "cheesecake" was more of a crustless pudding with intense roasted peaches and a crunchy strudel topping. Shout out to Tatum, a fashi-forward bartender who executes Kris's deliciously balanced craft cocktails with verve & finesse while Kris flits back and forth, shaking, stirring, and socializing. He's everything, everywhere, all at once! I asked to meet and compliment the chef. I didn't catch his name, obviously on purpose, since he shyly demurred credit and handed it to the team behind the swinging doors. You won't read about Kris or the cooks online, so just go eat and drink what they got. You will NOT be disappointed.

Good enough atmosphere. It's not Bailiwicks, but good enough... Their bar area is super lively, I like it a lot. We both *don't* love the one and only, unisex bathroom that is always out of hand soap and not always super clean (according to Boyfriend who had to lift the seat.......). They need to keep an eye on that... Waitress was ok. A very loud talker. Food was amazing! I had both their "specials" - the fiddle heads appetizer and the Lamb chops... which were also served with fiddle heads, and a delicious risotto (I didn't realize the lamb was also served with fiddle heads, if I had, I would have tried a different appetizer - but that's my fault because I'm sure she must have mentioned it). Everything was amazing. Lamb was so tender and perfectly flavored. Boyfriend had the hanger steak and duck fat fries and loved it too. Says it's some of the best fries he's had! I'm not much of a dessert person but I like trying stuff at restaurants where I know it will be homemade. I had some whipped cream and butterscotch dessert and it was great - couldn't finish as I was full, but no regrets. We will be back! I love that their menu changes seasonally, it keeps things very interesting.

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.

I loved the juicy and substantial piece of chicken cooked to perfection. The toppings added amazing textures and flavors as well. Lastly I tried a few drinks the hibiscus yuzu fizz, hangover cocktail and Tipsy Shirley. All were delicious and many more tasty options to try. My friends also tried and loved the radicchio salad, grilled cheese sandwich, chicken noodle soup, mushroom pate, and crispy smashed potatoes. We were also super pleased with our meals.
