The food itself was good, but the service was unfortunately very poor. Our waitress forgot several…read morethings we asked for, and we had to get up twice to find her because she was so unresponsive. We were a party of five. Four of us received our food, but the fifth person (who ordered the baked pasta) didn't get her meal until after everyone else had already finished. I had to follow up multiple times, and only then did it finally arrive--more than 40 minutes later. The waitress never informed us that this dish might take longer, and if we had known, we wouldn't have ordered it. What made things worse was the lack of apology or accountability. When I followed up again, both the waitress and the host just chuckled, which felt dismissive and unprofessional.

My second visit to Mystico Cucina Italiana, and somehow it was just as impressive -- if not better…read more-- than the first. Consistency like this is rare, and it says everything about the standards they keep. I started with the Pomegranate Granita Oysters, and wow. Bright, refreshing, unbelievably fresh, and balanced perfectly. They were the kind of oysters you slow down for because you don't want the bite to end. I ordered the duck ragu again because I couldn't stop thinking about it from my last visit -- and once again, absolute perfection. Rich, comforting, layered with flavor, and yes... I cleaned the plate spotless. Not a drop left behind. From the hospitality to the execution of every dish, everything about this restaurant screams class, quality, and a superb dining experience. The team makes you feel welcome, the food exceeds expectations, and you leave already planning your next reservation. Manchester is lucky to have a place like this.

It's very new agey and different for the sake of being different. But, the pasta was delicious and high quality! The place has a major attitude problem, though. The aesthetics are off-putting and attract a crowd of the worst types of people. Had to listen to nothing but whiny spite and anger my entire meal from multiple groups of guests. The waiter was the worst aspect, though. I didn't even know he worked there when he approached me. He was dressed down more than a lot of homeless people I've seen. He also shared that same attitude of the guests and made my business feel like an inconvenience the entire time, having the nerve to expect a tip for bringing my food out to me, which I would have just done myself to avoid him. I can recommend carryout, if you absolutely have to have some pasta in this area, but not eating in, and don't get anything that seems weird on the menu.

The restaurant is small with a limited number of high tops inside, a bar, and a few tables outside. The decorations and vibes are adorable. We were impressed from start to finish. Peter, our waiter, was friendly and chatty (without being too chatty), which we really appreciated, and he definitely nailed small-town Vermont charm. One of us ordered the Salty Chihuahua drink. It was tasty and very well priced. One of us started with a small green salad which was loaded with olives and feta- yum!! There was not a single bite of food that wasn't delicious. It blew us away. We ordered three entrees: chicken sliders, grande salad, and a special: the summer squash skillet, which we added meatballs to. We will be talking about and figuring out what was in those meatballs for years to come. The dishes were on the smaller side, but the prices reflect the amazing quality of the food. We are three New Yorkers with lots of opinions and high standards when it comes to what we eat. Brix exceeded those standards. We have a ski condo on Stratton and don't often make the drive into Rutland, but any time we do, it's guaranteed we will be eating at Brix.

We had read that it was the same people who run Hamlet and Ghost, so we wanted to check it out. The inside is gorgeous, bright and welcoming.

The menu is Montreal inspired, which we noticed immediately, and loved. We just wanted to split a couple things to try, so we ordered the poutine with duck confit and the steak tartare. The Poutine was fabulous! They ultra crispy house made fries had such good flavor on their own, but were made incredible with the gravy, melty cheese curds and decadent duck. This dish was amazing. The steak tartare was also very good and fresh, the house made chips were also killer. Last but not least, the maple soft serve. Heavenly! Ultra creamy and smooth with a great depth of maple flavor. The caramel swirl and crunchy nibs on the top were so good. I am not a big sweets person, but I would order this again for sure. Delicious. This is a hidden gem and surprised us all!

Under new ownership, the former Salem Tavern was sold and renovated. Railroad Street Tavern had…read moretheir soft opening in February 2024. Like before, this family-run place has a casual bar area in the back and the dining room in the front of the house with kitchen in the middle section. The renovated bar area has seating up at the bar (12 high seats) and limited table seating than before in both the bar area and dining room with ample space for more tables, probably so they don't get too overwhelmed as they just opened. The soft opening menu seems streamlined with a limited selection of appetizers, soups, salads, sandwiches, wraps, burgers, pasta dinners, and bar steak. The pricing is moderate here. The bar offers 9 draft beers (there are 12 taps), wine, liquor, and mixed drinks. After hearing about the soft opening for the Railroad Street Tavern, I made a Google* reservation earlier in the day for 7:30pm, since I was passing through Salem later that evening. They are now encouraging phone reservations. When I arrived 20 minutes early, every table and every high seat at the bar was occupied. It took about 12 minutes for seats to open up at the bar. I was given a soft opening menu and offered a drink (got ice water). I quickly decided on the Chicken Parm with penne & bread ($22 plus tax) and added a side salad ($3 plus tax) with homemade ranch dressing. However, the food took a while to come out with others waiting a long time for their food, 50 minutes for my food to come out. My main entree came out first, then the side salad next and then two slices of bread & butter, only after I requested since bread should be included according to the menu. The portions were generous with the chicken parm oven baked in a casserole dish and the penne in a separate deep bowl. The chicken parm was actually baked boneless chicken pieces (not breaded?) smothered with a tasty red sauce topped with a browned layer of melted mozzarella cheese. The penne pasta was cooked just right with a chunky homemade tomato sauce. The side salad had fresh greens, tomatoes, carrots & onions with the creamy ranch on the side. The bread slices were soft and dense. I was so hungry, that I was able to finish everything and then requested the check which was $25.68 with tax and before tip. Overall, the food I had tasted very good and the service was hectic since the place was seated at capacity in both areas. I did have to wait longer than a typical dining experience since the kitchen was overwhelmed and food items trickled out of the kitchen to be served. I would definitely come back once the kinks are worked out and the menu is expanded. I did see other food items come out such as the steamed mussels piled high, thick buffalo chicken wraps, chicken BLT and the hand cut shoestring fries. Those portions were very generous as reflected in the moderate pricing. And their homemade seafood gumbo soup got rave reviews from the customers sitting next to me, which I almost thought about getting with my dinner, but I didn't want to wait any longer than I had to and I barely finished all of my ordered meal.
