    Chicken flatbread
    Brianna M.

    Ordered takeout the night before a reservation to get a taste. Cancelled. The carelessness shown for takeout items turned us off to spending that much money on clearly mediocre food...sliced chicken in the flatbread was HUUGE. Attention to detail is clearly nonexistent here. I've worked in fine dining kitchens...this is unacceptable. Frozen fries from the same vendor a two star would serve? Laughable. Beets weren't fresh in the salad and I was DIGGING for goat cheese. Nonexistent. Don't waste your money here. And to Castle Hill: not all of your customers haven't been in the kitchen. Step it up.

    Most romantic cozy restaurant in Vermont. Dan and I had a weekend getaway here at the resort and had a lovely time. Our romantic candlelit dinner consisted of a bottle of red, bruschetta, beef Wellington, and lemon cake. Followed by a patron who played a Christmas song on the piano and sang beautifully too! So perfect

    Amazing experience! The service was top notch & the atmosphere is unbelievable! The food was also amazing as well, definitely worth the price. This is the perfect place for a date night or celebration. Will definitely be coming back & glad we finally tried after staying here for so many years!

    Service was okay, appetizers were great (escargot and muscles), salads were on point. (Orange cranberry marmalade tart salad and classic Cesar salad) However both the Halibut and the Lamb entrees had nice presentation but where pretty much flavorless. Although the menu described the lamb to have a mint rosemary reduction, there was no seasoning whatsoever, tasted like roasted meat. The rice and crab cake under the halibut tasted like warmed leftovers. We did not even eat more than a few bites each. I was served wine in a dirty glass. The server apologized and brought me a clean glass and comped the wine. We were very disappointed on our anniversary dinner, especially considering the price.

    The food was overpriced and bland. My dad's fish was so dry. The space is beautiful. You have to hand them that.

We ordered a few drinks and appetizers prior to our dinner plans. The wings are a must try as we had both the buffalo and maple sriracha wings. Both were extremely well seasoned and flavored. The meat itself was tender and moist. The pretzel bites were delicious and soft. However the beer cheese could have had more flavor to it and consistency it felt a bit watery. All of our drink were delicious. My raspberry sour is definitely a new favorite. Service was efficient the only mishap we had was she asking for our bill they gave us the wrong tables and when we corrected them they seemed shocked of our honesty.

    We were visiting Ludlow VT and was googling to find the closest brewery and found outer limits …read more Ofcourse , Google had a 4.8 star review and we had no second thoughts and went here . It was a very short drive and the parking facilities were good .. the interiors and seating were good too. Lots of space inside to sit and drink. Service was good, and the waitress was always smiling and took care of us well. Being a brewery one thing that surprised me was they just had one IPA on the tap.. just one IPA.. can you believe it? I was eager and waiting to drink a home grown New England/Vermont IPA but all we had there was one variety... it was a hazy IPA and don't get me wrong. It tasted really well... but I wish they had more options. They also had a wheat ale and some wine varieties.... Even in the food front, the menu was limited and less options.. We ordered chicken wings, and it was ok. Sauce was a bit sweet .. one of the sauces was really good and spicy . Overall, it fell short of my expectation and wish they had more food and drink options.. 3 stars ...

Started with the buffalo wings and they were crispy and delicious And complimentary rolls and butter So good and I want the recipe for that bread it was delicious For dinner I ordered the spinach cheddar baked haddock. It was delicious and buttery! Husband got the prime rib. He loved that it was served with a thicker gravy rather than au jus that most places do. Medium rare and came out at the perfect temp. Dinner also comes with a side salad. You won't leave this place hungry! We are definitely coming back. They were busy but that's the be expected on a Friday night. So glad to see a local family owned business thriving.

The selection of entrée items is absolutely the most I've ever seen in a restaurant, it made it hard to decide. I asked the waitress and she said the chicken Cordon Bleu was one of the top items so that's what I picked. It was basic stuffed ham n cheese in the chicken breast, it wasn't breaded, which I liked. It was smothered in a kind of a gravy or white sauce, not quite sure what sauce it was. Hot fresh baked rolls, a basic chopped iceberg lettuce house salad and baked potato included. Also ordered was the chicken tender dinner, very plentiful, enough for 3 people I'd say. Sadly the dipping honey mustard was so bad, like salad dressing with vinegar flavor, not good! I had a glass of Merlot, I'm not sure I've seen an eight dollar glass of wine on a menu in the last decade, so that was pleasant. In general, the server was very efficient, the host not so friendly, and the place was spacious but has very dated decor, which some may consider part of its charm. Unfortunately we're sitting by some very noisy people, taking phone calls and playing sports out loud on their phones acting like they owned the place, kind of ruined atmosphere. But they knew the staff and must think that behavior was acceptable. Bottom line we needed to eat and it was food.

In my nearly 30 years now working in, with, and patronizing the food and beverage industry, I've never experienced such repugnant service as what Suzy and I had at The Downtown Grocery. I should point out that we weren't just the usual tourist who come to Ludlow to ski. We actually lived here for several years, and I couldn't post this review until we moved away because of the owner's repeated behavior of attacking people on social media who disagree with or criticize him. The food here is "fine", it's not actually bad or anything. But it is tiny in portions (a rarity for Vermont), and it's overly "chef-y" without actually executing well. It's one of those places where the chef probably thinks that he would get a Michelin star if only they would come to see him, but I can tell you having eaten at over 100 cumulative Michelin stars in my life this is nowhere close. It fails in flavor, presentation, and execution. But again, not terrible. The setting is actually kind of nice too, somewhat homey which is juxtaposed and ruined by the arrogance of the staff. If you don't mind being guaranteed to wait well beyond your actual reservation time, and then waiting probably another hour just to get some meager first courses, then maybe this is the place for you? I doubt it though, there are so many options just in Ludlow alone, and even more that are worth the 45 minute drive to Woodstock or Manchester to avoid having to eat here if you want a "nice" meal. Whatever you do absolutely avoid coming any time near "stick season" or "mud season" (Vermonters will know) because you're guaranteed to get even worse service then. Ludlow has a ton of restaurants for such a small town, many of them quite good. This is the ONLY place we actively recommended friends and guests of ours to avoid. Even the crappy fake taco place down the street got occasional business over this place due entirely to the repeated piss poor attitude of the two owners.

I had their specialty Ruby Bulleit cocktail with bourbon, ginger liqueur, and blood orange juice - the blood oranges were so juicy and fresh! My partner enjoyed the Smokey Elder, which had mezcal, ginger beer, and some other fun ingredients.

Can't wait to come here for dinner sometime soon. Make sure you make a reservation!
