There were only 2 servers so they were short staffed but ours didn't check on us one time and just slapped the bill down after we finished eating.

A Masterclass in Deception. Do Not Be Fooled by the 4.5 Stars…read more My wife and I came here expecting a special dinner based on glowing reviews. What we got was a textbook tourist trap with a view. Yes, the setting is gorgeous. Vermont mountains in the distance, open-air ambiance, cozy lighting. But once the food hits the table, the charm dies fast. I ordered the grilled chicken. What arrived was three thin slices of poultry on a puddle of sauce, garnished with a few microgreens. It looked more like a sample than a $44 entrée. My wife's "Gnudi" was overpowered by a bitter green sauce, rubbery in texture, and she couldn't finish it. I ended up eating both meals just to feel like I had dinner, but left still hungry. We ended up grabbing pizza afterward because we felt completely ripped off. The bill? $80 before tip. For what amounts to two appetizers. No drinks, no dessert, no extras. To add insult to injury: they charge you $25 per person if you cancel a reservation. That should have been our first red flag. This restaurant survives off its view and inflated reputation. The food is nowhere near the quality or portion size you'd expect at this price point. The 4.5-star rating is wildly misleading and risks conning more travelers like us. We left upset, unsatisfied, and shocked that this place gets away with calling itself fine dining. Save your money and your evening. Go somewhere that cares more about the plate than the patio.

Radicchio salad was tasty. Interesting cocktails. Had the banana dessert, which was good but needed more banana flavors. Had an unusual ice cream as topping with some crunchy nuts I think. All dishes are for sharing. All tasted good but portions are a little small. Figure 75 per person with one cocktail. I'd go back for a special occasion, when I don't want to stuff myself.

So thought it would be a good choice for dinner. They don't have a website of phone by design so I had no information other then their name/location. Plot twist: their dinner service ended at 9 even though the hours were 5-10. So that in itself is a good reason to have a website OR a phone. We were dropped off to at the charming restaurant via Uber (so lost money there), walked up to very uncomfortable stares from the staff, and were then told we couldn't have dinner. Not the most pleasant experience. The silver lining was the recommendation to go to Hen of the Woods for dinner instead and THAT experience made up for everything

Going go to start by saying the food was great. However, it was the service that lacked - meaning…read morenot enough staff to clients. We ordered food and the wait time was ridiculous. Our waitress asked if we wanted everything served at once or in 2 servings. Given we had ordered 6-7 tapas platters and the small table space, we figured 2 servings was a better idea. The first serving compromised of garlic butter sautéed mushrooms (7/10), maple syrup doused grilled eggplant with goat cheese (8/10) and a Spanish charcuterie & cheese plate with olives (6/10). The food was in all great, we finished the first serving pretty fast. We figured the second serving would come more quickly but it never did! By then we were already full and tired. It could've been that the kitchen had already prepared the food and the waitress had too many customers to serve. I called her over and told her I would only pay for the dishes we ate because the food was taking too long to come out. She got defensive and said the food was on its way and ready. I insisted no. After which, I asked if we could pay right away as we had to head out . Another 15-20 min wait as she served others . My impression would be if I had 2 customers that were upset and ready to leave, I would tell the other table " I'll be right back shortly , I just have to close this table off". She had no sense of time! It's too bad that the service can't match their quality of food and atmosphere. Hire more staff because clearly there is a demand for food but a lack of service will bring the hype down.
