We were a few mins behind getting into a line in a small vestibule of other people who had reservations at the very same time. We were a bit stressed because they 'give away' your table after 15 mins of the reservation time. They seem to have a system of an employee bussing tables & filling water glasses. Then the server comes over for a total of 2 to 3 times to take the order, quickly ask how everything is then disappear for far too long to deliver the check. The food/beverages are served by another server or waitstaff as quickly as possible before you can ask for something else. It feels like a robotic set of motions, leaving you to believe you are a number. It is terribly expensive, I will admit this. However, my husband really loved his burger & the chicken salad (bountiful in the amount that it spilled out of the bun) was so good I want to make it myself. Their fries are perfectly seasoned. The Caesar salad was a bit 'out of the box' & had capers intermixed - gave a great amount of tang. I think aside from the anxiety / overwhelming process to check in for a reservation, it's an "OK" experience at the top of Mount Mansfield.

I started off with a side Caesar salad and Brussel sprouts! WOW! The Caesar dressing was very creamy and delicious! The Brussel sprouts were OUTSTANDING! I could probably eat 5 orders! For my entree, I got the Bailey Melt which is essentially a patty melt with cheddar cheese (I added bacon). It was cooked perfectly, it was juicy, and the fries were great! I got a side of Buffalo sauce and I loved it! The restaurant is small but very quaint! I loved the bar! McKenna was amazing! Very attentive, personable, and very friendly! Overall, I had an incredible experience at Halvorson's! I definitely recommend this place!

We left to go dine around 6:15pm at another establishment, but they were slammed. Went to another and it was more of a bar and they were also slammed. People eat early around here! My daughter in-law called ahead after we left the bar type restaurant and they had us a nice table waiting for us! Excellent atmosphere and the service was very friendly and welcoming. I think Billy was the name of our waiter but several of the other wait staff worked together to help him. Our dinners were all excellent and everyone enjoyed them. I had the pork chop and it was prepared perfectly and flavored well. Wife had the scallops with butternut squash and she raved about it. Can't remember what ther other three had.

The food was not exactly the best, I ordered a $38 lobster roll that was plain with no flavor it was the size of a child's hotdog. my opinions were mayonnaise or butter and that's all it came with butter nothing else. The fries were decent. I ordered a Pina colada and it looked like came out of a slushy machine in a Dixie cup. I think there are definitely better restaurants For first time visitors.

We immediately loved the idea of having food cooked over the fire, but it was the first phone call with Luke that sealed the deal. He's an expert; the way he talks about weddings immediately inspires confidence and calm. We were planning everything from out of state, and Luke made it remarkably easy and fun. Not to mention how stunning the food actually IS! My husband and I had the time of our lives at the tasting, and at the reception we must have heard about a hundred times that it was "the best wedding food ever," from guests. The presentation is out of a magazine... in fact, I believe they were recently featured in Vogue! (Congratulations, wonderful people!!) The menu options are unique, fresh, and basically all of our favorite foods. And speaking of favorite foods, they have these chargrilled oysters! I must have eaten a dozen of these, as the very kind staff kept walking them past my husband and I during cocktail hour. What a tremendously happy memory. Thank you, Luke and The Hindquarter for making our wedding unforgettably delicious and special. We can't wait to come back to VT and eat more of your incredible food! HIRE THEM! :)

Go hungry. I found…read moreThe Hindquarter through a Yelp event, to which they brought such tasty nibbles as smoked chorizo with tapenade, steak tartare on potato chips, spring rolls with julienned carrots and cucumbers, and lamb meatballs in a creamy cheese sort of sauce. The spring rolls were a flat experience, but it's truly in their meat that they shine. I tried their pork bahn mi at the ArtsRiot Friday food truck event. The meat was perfectly seasoned and seared, the flavors and texture well juxtaposed with pickled vegetables and grilled, buttery roll. For the work and expertise that goes into the meat preparation and flavor combinations, this sandwich was worth every penny of the $9 they were asking for it. I should not have tried it after a late lunch and on such a hot day, though: had I been profoundly hungry when I ordered it, I can only imagine that this would have been a wonder. Next time, I'll hit it up after the gym.
