Service was quick and professional. Highly recommend.

My husband and I took three of our grandchildren here tonight at the request of the youngest. I was…read moresurprised to be honest. The food wasn't bad at all, even a bit better than I expected. What really made the visit for me was the service. Our server (I wish I remembered her name) was very friendly, helpful with making suggestions for a picky grandchild (she was very happy with her meal, thanks to the server!) and she was very personable, making us feel welcome and not rushed in the least. The only negative I can report, and the reason for 4 stars instead of five was the amount of room at the table; for two adults and three children it was a bit tight but our server did her best with clearing unused items so that we were able to use the little space we did have. Thank you for being a part of our successful "date night" with the grandchildren. :)

There are a few things that I need to address: first, I was there on St. Patrick's Day with my…read moremom. We were seated at a table and the waitress brought us our first drink. After that, we were told that we had to go to the bar to order any additional drinks, after waiting over 1/2 hour for our waitress to come back to our table. We ordered the corned beef dinner, only to get a stew-like dinner that had so much fat in it. So much for $19 spent on each of the two dinners. I liked going to this establishment because it's so close to my house, but why should my bill be almost $100 for two frozen food dinners and margaritas that are not even made correctly? Sour mix is NOT an ingredient in margaritas. The final straw was tonight when I took my mom in for dinner and drinks. When I asked Erica for my tab, she brought over my check and told me that because I was paying with a card, I had to go to the bar to use the machine, even though the device is designed to be portable (taken to a table for the patron to pay the bill). The food is way overpriced for frozen stuff that I could make at home, the drinks are not fresh and made properly, and the guest should not have to go to the bar to settle the bill. What really kills me is that there is a photo of John Taffer from Bar Rescue hanging on the wall with the owner of this establishment, but quite obviously, the "owner" just doesn't care about the quality of products being delivered to his guests, nor guest hospitality. The booth seats are in bad repair and quite uncomfortable. You have definitely lost me as a customer in your establishment.

This was mine and my brother's favorite meal while on our ski trip. Our server, although I forget…read morehis name, was EXCELLENT. Upon finding out it was our first time visiting, he explained the menu and the complimentary cheese and cracker bar. We started off with the sticky meatballs and the almost escargot (mushrooms). Both were delicious. My brother had the pork Mac and cheese while I had the pot roast. We both really enjoyed our meals. We took a slice of cake to go because we were way to full to eat it there. Unfortunately, I don't have any of these restaurants near my home but I wish I did!

I started with a manhattan, and to my surprise they have a big complementary cheese board. I didn't have anything from it but it looked great. For a starter I ordered the mussels and they came out in pretty short order. They were solid. For my main I had the Asian bowl with salmon. There were some nice glazed veggies and rice with the salmon. I'll definitely return next time I'm in town.

The child behind us was not provided anything to do by the restaurant or his father and kept kicking the booth connected to the one I was sitting on.

My brother and I visited for dinner in January while in the area for a ski trip. The whole visit…read morewas awkward and not that great. Upon arrival, the heavy set gentleman who greeted us said to follow him and then proceeded to put menus on a table which did not appear to be designated for us and then walked into the kitchen with us still following. We then stood there confused and another employee wasn't even sure what table was supposed to be ours. I am still to this day not sure what that interaction was. We only had one basic question for our server while ordering an app. There was some sort of appetizer sampler platter on the special menu that we considered getting. It has some sort of fried mozzarella on it and we were trying to determine if that was the same or different than the cheese curds. She had no idea. We ended up getting the cheese curds due to the confusion over the sampler platter. They were the best part of the meal. My brother had the wings. Nothing fancy. I was super excited for the maple pork entree since I scanned the menu earlier in the day. It really had no flavor. The menu said it came with mashed sweet potato. It did not. It came with regular mashed. Their menu had some typos on it as well. The whole experience was annoying considering we expected a way better dinner overall based on the how website and reviews portrayed them. I would not recommend.

Only reason it doesn't have 5 stars from me is because I think they serve food, but hadn't seen anyone eating...or heard anyone asking...(always makes me nervous if someone isn't at least asking about wings or something) and the drinks were a tad overpriced for what they were:size/pour etc. They do have free wifi and a few TVs though, so not too bad. Will probably be back because I'm a sucker for this kind of dimly lit place :).

And this year was THE YEAR to hit up Vermont for skiing b/c they got more snow than they've gotten in almost a decade--so the skiing was the best east coast skiing I've experienced ever! And, if you're in Vermont skiing, you must drop by Main Mountain Bar & Motel. We weren't staying there as motel guests, but we heard that Main Mount was the place for fancy cocktails... and whoever told us this information was spot on!! Every cocktail we tried at Main was unique and super tasty. My favorite was the Good 'Ol Boy cocktail, but I also recommend the New England Sour--it's like a Whiskey Sour but with Mulled Wine and Cocoa on top. As for atmosphere and service, both are great! The interior decor is more like a cozy (but slightly modern) mountain house library (an atmosphere you might expect in a hip Brooklyn bar), and it's very inviting! And the bartender and servers are amazing and really friendly. As for food, we didn't try any on the first visit, but we ended up going back to Main Mountain on our last night of the trip b/c we found out that, on Sundays, they host a burger night! Ummm... yes!!!! So, we went back, I had another Good Ol' Boy, and we downed some yummy Smash Burgers and French Onion Mac & Cheese! Oh, and PLEASE order a side of their pickles! They are life-changing! Bottom line = check out this bar if you are in Ludlow, Vermont for skiing at Okemo or just visiting for some other reason. You are sure to love it like we did.
