    This restaurant is a local gem. The food is made from scratch and they serve generous portions…read more It's a Mother/Daughter run establishment, and it's attached to a gift (Barn Owl) and candy store that supports local artists and craftspeople. What's more, this is a rare place that goes out of its way to include People with Disabilities. I am grateful for that. What more could one want? Incredible food from local sources and a really fun gift store with caring and invested staff?

At 9:50, they were still missing half the things on the menu(I included a picture of the the menu and crossed out all the menu items that were NOT available) Positives: * the staff was genuinely very nice * free drinks for mothers * the Mac and cheese was very good! Negatives: * half that was advertised was not available * missing utensils in the food- customers were using the wrong utensils and cross contaminating things * no refills were offered as the staff seemed extremely overwhelmed * people had to keep requesting plates to be stocked * the food was mediocre at best * half of the items were not labeled

    During a recent ski trip to Jay Peak, my group and I visited this cozy local restaurant with high…read morehopes, given the limited dining options in the area. Overall, it offered a unique experience, though not without a few drawbacks. To start, the appetizers were fantastic. We shared the beef tartare, mussels, and crab rangoon. The beef tartare stood out for its flavor, though the accompanying baguette was slightly stale. Despite that, the appetizers were the highlight of the meal. For soup, we sampled the French onion, which was met with mixed reviews--decent, but not particularly memorable. The main courses included kangaroo, venison, fish and chips, and duck. While the chef's talent for creating flavorful dishes was evident, all the meats were unfortunately overcooked. This may have been due to the challenge of preparing multiple meals at once, as we were informed that there was only one chef in the kitchen. The restaurant itself boasts a charming and homey ambiance that enhances the dining experience. Service was friendly and accommodating, with no issues on that front. A standout feature of the menu was the inclusion of kangaroo--a rare find, especially in Vermont. While it's worth trying for the novelty, be prepared for its distinctively high iron content, which imparts a metallic flavor that may not appeal to everyone. In conclusion, this restaurant offers a unique and enjoyable experience despite a few missteps. The friendly service and cozy atmosphere make it a worthwhile stop for those visiting the Jay area. Just keep in mind that the kitchen's limitations may impact larger parties or more complex orders. If you're feeling adventurous, give the kangaroo a try--you likely won't find it anywhere else nearby!

    We dropped by here for dinner. The INN is really gorgeous, and the restaurant was smaller than…read moreexpected and intimate. We ordered the antelope Swedish balls, French onion soup, and firecracker beef. Most of the food wasn't great - the antelope Swedish meatballs were the best of the 3. The French onion soup had too much thyme and a very watery broth. The firecracker beef was offensive!! It has a warning that it's very spicy (which is true), but it was a really strange dish! I expected an Asian inspired spicy beef dish over rice, but we got a hot sauce drenched rice bowl. Allegedly there was beef in it, but there was really no texture or flavor other than hot sauce! To clarify to the owner comment - we did tell our server we didn't like it, and that it was not due to the spice - it was due to the gross flavor. She simply said "oh I haven't heard that one" and did not offer to take it off the bill or replace it. Now the drinks and desserts were fantastic! We loved our seasonal cocktails, and we ordered two desserts and polished them off. The maple chomeur was drenched in sauce and so good - we actually poured the remaining sauce over our apple warm too! I loved the fresh apples in the tart since there was some texture. Service was also very good from the front desk to our server.

But after setting in, it feels pretty good, almost like home. We were there with a large group, seating was a little tight. Creative cocktails, extensive wine list. Lots of small plates, apps - all were amazing. Our server was on point - explained everything very well, and when we were unsure about trying something, we were encouraged. All local farm to table ingredients. Local wines and spirits. Local cheeses, including some pretty rare choices. Entree I had was the pork tenderloin. Portion was huge. Pork fresh, well seasoned and moist. Excellent. Highly recommend this restaurant, to date, it's best restaurant I've eaten at in Burlington. Parking in a nearby garage.

It combines a log cabin feeling with the aesthetic of a modern feeling restaurant. On top of that, every bite that I ate, from the dinner rolls to my pasta entree, was terrific. You won't find food much better than this. That being said, I do think that the menu is a bit overpriced. Everything was very very expensive. If you do go, I highly recommend getting the shareable pastrami. I had a bite of my friend's and it nearly knocked me out of my chair with flavor. So good!
