I chose the Korean BBQ Wings as my appetizer which were a delish spice level and a perfect amount for one, yet I chose to share. We all loved them! They were garnished with green onions and lemongrass and crispy good! My entrée was the Beet Salad tossed with walnuts, goat cheese, and julienned-apples. The vinaigrette tossing the fresh, varied greens was so savory light and bright it lifted the whole dish. The portion was bountiful and studded with tons of the goodies! My guests chose the sandwiches, the Specials, the soup, the fish & chips, the Smash Burger, on and on. All were rated high! Kudos for plenty of gluten-free options beyond the usual salad! The owner was present and lovely as were her waitstaff. Knowing it was my birthday occasion, I was treated to their usual dinnertime treat of dark chocolate-pretzel bark so divine that we all left with a smile. We shall return and I hope my review encourages you to, too!

We had such a fabulous meal at Rumble's a few days ago. They have completely revised their menu…read moreand their prices. I had the lobster ravioli, and it was delicious. Not only that, but it was an ample portion: I actually gave some bites (okay, only a small bite of the actual lobster) to my dining companion, but he got some whole ravioli! His order was the salmon and he wanted to lick his plate, it was that good. This was a special occasion (just for two) with my dining companion coming from far out of state, so I (the local) had checked out numerous familiar venues in the Mad River Valley, including Rumble's, at which we had enjoyed so many meals in that spectacular setting in the past. I was impressed by the very reasonable prices on Rumble's new menu. We actually stopped by that afternoon to inquire whether the online menu = tonight's, and it was the same, so we went and had a delicious meal and a wonderful experience. We especially loved our server, Debra, and fully appreciated what, in today's world of fine casual dining, were very affordable prices.

The boyfriend and I spent xmas week right next door at the Powderhound Condos so Hostel Tevere was…read moreour local for a few days and it was a great one. Like many bars in the area, the beer selection is really fucking good (it's a Heady Topper source). I'm currently in love with Lawson's Sip of Sunshine and they had it on tap so it was going to be hard for me not to enjoy the place after that. When we came in one night and I wanted wine, I was surprised to find that I really liked the white the bartender (who was super nice) poured for me. He didn't have much of a red selection, but the white was so good I'll forgive them. The best part of this bar, though, is the availability of both foosball and darts. There are two dart boards and darts hanging out in the main room but if you want a nicer set you should check with the bartender and be nice- much better quality darts. It appears that they don't do food anymore, but they did have a French bulldog running around at one point which is much better than food. The Hostel is also one of the pickup places for the local free bus which was also super convenient. So even if you aren't staying there or right next door feel free to get your drink on, call the bus driver, and get a free ride home.

Spent less than 24 hours here. It seems like it has been slow because I was surprised I was…read moreinitially the only one there for the night. Coming from 2 hostels on this side of the US with more influx of guests, I was confused by why there were no signs on how to enter for check-in or a reminder of lobby hours. There was nothing in front saying guests should go to the back to enter but yet there are steps leading to a front door that I later found out is always locked. No instructions on how to locate the lobby in the email either. I stayed in a 8-bed dorm room above the restaurant and check-in office. The room faces the road so you'll hear road noise since the one window is left open for the portable air conditioner. There was another dorm room right behind. Light sleepers will need an earplug. The bathroom was very clean, colorful, and had modern, cute features. Other things to note: - Not sure there is a shuttle (common with other hostels in the region) - Not sure there are lockers - There are bedside lights by every bed and power outlets are on the bottom bunks only. - The dorm room had a ceiling fan and portable air conditioner - There was Body wash in the shower but no shampoo or conditioner. - There are 2 or 3 toilets and 1 shower upstairs in that building. - The kitchen fridge is cute but small in size for the number of beds. - There are 2 living/sitting rooms - There are some board games available - There is a restaurant on-site. - A brew of coffee is made every morning. - There was no stove to cook

You have to boil for 8-10 minutes according to directions and I had to boil it an additional 4 minutes to make it edible. I doubt I will eat there again.

Been here before a while back and it was strained. This time the atmosphere and ambiance were much improved. It's a pub-casual environment and feels relaxed and casual. The service was good, and prompt. No complaints. The primary issue on this review was that I ordered the Buffalo Schnitzel. I had thought it was going to be with some buffalo sauce, but balanced, as the menu simply describes it as "tenderized pork loin, panko fried, buffalo sauce, Caeser salad, bacon, blue cheese" But unfortunately it came out with at least a 1/4 cup of Frank's Red Hot drenching the top of the meat. It so overwhelmed everything, and was not brushed on or anything. Will return to try other options but this visit was a miss.

But we had a friend in town visiting, and so we took him and our exchange student out. Much to our 49ers family's surprise, we found out that it's also a "Niners" place, so it was great to see local support of the team. The establishment is like many Vermont pubs, very low key and straightforward, down to earth. Great, friendly staff, and attentive. We ended up ordering a lot of food - fried pickles, burgers, etc. and it was all good pub food. None of it is like "Michelin star" but it's certainly good food, served in a good pub atmosphere. We'll definitely be going back at some point.
