During ski season you definitely need a reservation, and they close fairly early. The building is beautiful, lots of history- it was the old governors mansion. Food was excellent- we were not sure what to expect, we shared some appetizers, then had the lamp cops and the beef wellington1 both were great, good portions, meat was perfectly cooked, and well paired sides. Before and after dinner we had a drink in the library and they had a man playing some traditional guitar music while we sat there- a very nice evening.

For a starter, I ordered the shrimp cocktail. It was fine, though the shrimp were a bit rubbery. My entrée was the beef Wellington. The pastry outside was crisp, but the steak inside lacked seasoning and didn't have much flavor. The service was friendly but slow. There was only one server covering four or five tables at the same time, which made it hard to keep up, especially since the dining room was fairly busy. I understand it may be off-season, but one server for a full room wasn't enough. It wasn't a terrible experience, but it wasn't great either. With some improvements to seasoning and staffing, it could be much better.

Ascutney for a week and decided to have a low-key night and have dinner at the onsite restaurant, The Maple Kitchen. It was a slow Sunday night and no reservations needed. The restaurant only had the bar tender manning the bar and the tables. He was very nice but the wait was long... luckily we were in vacation mode so we didn't mind the wait. While we were waiting for the food, we were enjoying the Moscow Mule made by the bartender. He poured all his drinks to the rim, it was great! They only had 2 things on tap: Switchback ale and Harpoon hard cider,but they were solid brews. It took about 45 minutes before our entrees were served and we started to think this may be a mistake. Boy were we wrong in the best way. The lobster bisque dip came with 2 rolls of warm bread already buttered on the outside...soft center with the creamy dip spread over it was so scrumptious. The lamb chop was cooked to perfection and had a orzo chickpea side that can be a main dish in itself. The duck was cooked with crispy skin on, very tender and also came with a delicious rice pilaf. We also had the half chicken breast dish which was perfectly seasoned, juicy! Came with a mushroom and spinach stir fry and mashed potatoes was more like creamy scalloped potato. We were completely stuffed but wanted to try a dessert because the food was just amazing. We shared a raspberry white chocolate cheesecake that did not make it in my photo because we finished it so quickly. Definitely come here, you will not be disappointed.

First of all the bar was not stocked, the dirty martini was so dirty it needed a shower. Basic items like ice tea and lemonade were unavailable. Bud Light was not in stock either. It was a quiet Friday night, about at 20% capacity, service was slow. The meal took about 45 minutes to service. Although flavorful the lamb chops were anorexic. The short ribs, were a little on tough side, and lacked flavor, the portion size more consistent with a small plate menu than entree. Good restaurants are in demand in this area; however, this was another missed opportunity.

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.

Everything from the filet to the pasta and cocktails was really great, and you can tell they put a lot of care into the menu. Our kids ended up sharing an adult entree since there isn't a kids menu, but the portions worked out perfectly. We also appreciated how accommodating they were with food allergies, which made the experience much more comfortable for our family. One thing to keep an eye on... We were overcharged for the meatballs added to the bucatini. The menu listed it as $8, but we were charged $19. Just something to double check when you visit. Overall, a really enjoyable meal and a spot we would still recommend when you are in the Okemo area even if we paid $11 more than we should have.

Well what a pleasant find. The former Alta (which was the former Harry's and the former... well you…read moreget the picture) is now an Italian steakhouse. And it turns out that it's a great place. It just opened a week before we came, so we can give them a little grace on the time the food came out of the kitchen. Wasn't unbearably long, but I suspect the kitchen is working out the kinks as it also dealt with holiday crowds. Thankfully the food and service is terrific. My water glass was continually refilled (always need water after a long day of skiing) and there was also someone to check on us. We loved the antipasto platter to start. The family size was more than enough for 5 people (and could easily feed 6-7 people). Lots of cheeses and meats. We also loved the dishes we got. The Osso Bucco was terrific. The meat was tender and enough for two meals. The polenta was also excellent with just the right consistency. (I do love risotto too but this had the same creaminess to balance the meat). The lamb chops were praiseworthy too. The pastas were homemade and outstanding. I loved the bolognese. Heck even the starlet chicken was a big hit. The drinks were also a standout with some fun cocktails. Again perfect apres ski. The prices are not cheap and are more compatible with a big city vibe. Those from such places won't be bothered by them but it can stand out. As such this place for me is a special treat -- and well worth it. Inside is fairly consistent with the prior version of this place but still nice. We did feel a little crammed at our table but overall, it's a big place with a big bar area too.
