Chef Larry cooked our rehearsal dinner at our Airbnb and the food was a hit! Our guests could not…read morestop talking about how delicious everything was. We had a destination wedding in Burlington and we can all confidently say that Chef Larry's food was one of the highlights of our special weekend. Even at our restaurant reception dinner, our guests were half-joking when they said they wished they were eating Chef Larry's food instead. We had our wedding in Vermont primarily because we loved the food, and Chef Larry's cooking exemplified everything we adored about Vermont's farm to table scene. He was so patient and accommodating when it came to our guests with specific dietary restrictions. He happily made smaller portions to accommodate those guests, all without sacrificing presentation or timeliness. None of our guests with dietary restrictions felt like they were missing out or being given a sub-par substitute. I highly recommend the Vermont Cheese Plate. Chef Larry only put cheeses on there that could be found within a 50 mile radius. These were some of the best cheeses I've ever tasted. In fact, all of his ingredients were fresh and local. We ordered 1 Vermont Cheese Plate, 2 appetizers (the lamb lollipops and spinach and feta mushrooms), the heirloom tomato salad, the roasted roots as a side dish, and 2 entrees (roasted pork loin and coconut chickpea curry). This fed 14 people and we even had leftovers for days! Since we were staying in an Airbnb, we were worried that the kitchen might not be able to accommodate the needs for cooking a huge meal, but Chef Larry came prepared. We were able to go through the kitchen and let him know what we had/didn't have, but he was able to provide his own kitchen ware and serving platters (we provided plates and utensils). This was a huge relief and convenience because we didn't have to go out shopping for serving platters that we would only use once. We did not have to lift a finger. Instead of us cooking and hosting or even driving to a restaurant, ordering, and waiting, we were able to use that time to spend quality time with all of our guests and enjoy the meal together in the comfort of our Airbnb. This was so much more fun than going to restaurant. Chef Larry truly took care of everything so we were able to focus on just enjoying ourselves. In addition to being an amazing cook, Chef Larry is a truly genuine and kind person. Our guests enjoyed chatting with him in the kitchen and you can really tell that he loves what he does. Honestly, we are so jealous that Vermont has a gem like him. If you are considering hiring a personal chef/event chef in Vermont, look no further than Chef Larry! His cooking is a next level and a crucial supplement to the Vermont food experience. You will not regret it!

Larry cooked an amazing dinner for my bachelorette party group of 11. we rented a house in the…read moresugarbush area and didn't want to have to drive to dinner and were having trouble agreeing on a restaurant in the first place. having larry create a menu that would please everyone, and meet their dietary restrictions was SO helpful. was also an added bonus that he left the kitchen even neater than he found it. I wouldn't hesitate to hire him for any event!! everyone raved about the quality of the food, and not having to lift a finger to cook it made it taste all the better. thanks again larry for making our night!!

A palette-pleasing panoply of plated perfection, Michael's On The Hill puts "epic" in epicurean…read more The Farm to Table restaurant offers fresh local delights, served with carefully concocted condiments that complement--but never overwhelm--the thoughtfully selected appetizers and entrees. The delectable dishes more than make up for the limited number of offerings; there's something for everyone at Michael's On The HIll. My partner and I visited Michael's On The Hill on a Saturday evening in mid-March; we reserved a table for two after we finished skiing at nearby Stowe. If you want a table during the high season, reserve it early--space is limited. Andrew greeted us at the door and after escorting us to our table, handed us off to Heather, our server. Heather is a Professional Server and it shows: Throughout our two+ hour meal, she was available but never intrusive and conversational but never too familiar: She's worked at Michael's for more than two decades and knows the menu perhaps better than the Chef--her recommendations were excellent: Rather than pushing the highest-price menu items, she suggested dishes based on her knowledge, experience, and guest preferences. We started with the local Artisinal cheese plate--three generous cheese selections accompanied by apricot chutney, sweet red grapes, pickled vegetables, candied walnuts, and toast points. The balance of sweet and sour was superlative; the appetizer presented tastefully on a cured wood bark platter--two or three people can pick their favorites and mix and match flavors. The tasteful teaser was a trailer for the main attraction. For entrees, I had the Maple Glazed Duck Breast with Cider Duck Glace accompanied by sweet potato hash, Orange and Arugula salad, and roasted baby carrots; my partner had the special: Beef Bourguignon on top of a cheese polenta with sauteed spinach and a delightful Mirepoix ("meer-PWAH"). Beef Bourguignon is a classic French stew of tender beef braised in red wine--hearty, flavorful, and filling, this French dish is perfect after a long day of skiing. Executive Chef Hess' flourishes transformed the traditional dish into a magically delicious medley of complementary flavors. The duck was cooked to perfection: Soft, warm, and tender on the inside with a hint of smokiness--balanced nicely by the maple glaze and the cider glace. The sweet potato hash was actually small, sweet potato "cubes" mostly hidden below the citrusy salad. When I finally forked the sweet potato cubes, they'd soaked up the cider duck glace, detonating a cluster bomb of flavors in my mouth. We paired the smokey duck and stewy Beef with a succulent bottle of Andrew Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon, whose rich cherry-cassis notes and silky tannins enhanced the sauces and spices of our entrees. Micheal's wine list reads like a Great Novel--long, engaging, occasionally intimidating. Here's where Heather re-enters our Micheal's meal story: In addition to letting us taste an alternative or two from already-open bottles, her familiarity with the menu made our decision much easier. Finally, because I just can't say no to Tiramisu, we were presented with a generous slice of sponge cake soaked in espresso (beans cured down the street), layered with whipped Moscarpone cheese, topped with cocoa powder. We cherished a couple bites and asked to take the remainder home (by the way, Tiramisu is part of a healthy breakfast). Yes, Michael's On The Hill is pricey--with a 23% percent tip, our meal was about $275--but every bite was worth it. Find out for yourself.

A really lovely upscale dining experience. I came here with my family and it was the perfect way to…read moreend the day. The restaurant is in a farmhouse and it feels like it, the interior is so warm and inviting with beautiful views of the Green Mountains. Everything is farm to table and seasonal, and you can tell each dish is made with real care. I do wish they had more vegetarian options, but it feels good supporting such a wholesome local business. If you're heading to Stowe or Waterbury this is right in between and a must stop. Easy parking and great service!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

It's definitely a "must do" if you're in Stowe only because there's not a whole lot to do to begin…read morewith, so you might as well! The $5 tour was cheap enough, and as others have said, it was short, but I didn't mind. You get some intro remarks, a 7-minute video in a theater room, an upstairs view of the ice cream making stages, and then some facts and mystery flavor tasting. That's it! When it's too long, you'll have reviewers who say it was too long. They tell you how long it is---if that time frame is too short, and you're told the time frame, maybe don't book! We had about 30 people on our tour. People weren't even listening to the guide, Zoe, and were just chitchatting. We got some samples to try before the tour and then toward the end they gave some samples of a mystery flavor that you eat with your mouth (no spoons). There's ample parking. There is a "Flavor Graveyard" across from the parking lot, but it was closed because of the massive snow mounds to plow. There is also a gift shop/store where you can buy overpriced hats, shirts, mugs, and other things. Cheap postcards I thought were free were actually $1.50 each. Oh, come on. Because of other planned stops in the area, we had to buy a cooler bag for $12 for the four pints of ice cream we purchased. The staff were all friendly, accommodating, and upbeat. Going during the winter months you'll definitely not experience huge crowds.

I am so confused because I swore I reviewed this place and noticed I did not when a friend posted…read moretheir review! We were staying in NH and it has always been on my bucket list to visit Ben & Jerry's. It was only about an hour drive from our hotel so when we were that close, I just could not resist. We arrived on a Friday afternoon. I did want to do the tour but since we were going to be away from our dog for a while, we decided to just walk around and explore on our own. We started with the most important part- indulging in some delicious ice cream! I was so extremely disappointed they did not have my flavor. Since I was a kid, this was my go to flavor- Mint Chocolate Cookie. I obviously have other favorites but that is my ultimate. I settled for Chunky Monkey since I don't believe I ever had it but always wanted to try it ( weird aversion to it because of the name and association with a movie as a kid lol). There were so many flavors and options! I guess that's why I especially upset about not having my flavor. We had to wait longer than expected because of other customers holding up the line. The staff who served us were so great! We each ordered a single scoop but they were large scoops. Once we received our treats, we walked inside to check out the store. Although there was a variety of items in the store, I expected there to be a lot more products. I definitely felt obligated to purchase a tie dye shirt, so I did! I also purchased a shot glass. The prices were expensive but also expected. I'm hoping to visit again in the future but hopefully not in the winter season.

EBC is incapable of performing catering for a Wedding Reception. For our September 2025 wedding,…read morethey failed to provide the following services which were included in the contract:  * EBC failed to provide one of the two entrees we contracted (it was sent to the WRONG VENUE!) * EBC served the wrong salad. * EBC did not provide table linens included in their contract. Our venue luckily had extras. * EBC did not set the table, wash dishes, or fill water glasses. They only sent a staff of 2-3 to take cater the reception of ~90 guests, and did not show up on time. ALL of these missing services were provided by our Wedding Planners, who thankfully were able to step in to minimize how late reception dinner was served. * EBC did not serve Dinner until 45-60 minutes later than contracted, and would've been even later if we did not have bespoke Wedding Planning staff available. * Most crucially, EBC specifically told us they could perform a celiac-friendly service. We told EBC of a wedding guest with severe celiac's who has previously had seizures from gluten exposure, asking if we should provide a separate GF meal for them. They guaranteed they could serve their gluten-free menu options without any cross contamination and would provide signage for GF safe items. At reception, they used the same tongs for the GF and non-GF rolls, and servers were not at all knowledgeable that the service was expected to be GF.  Our celiac wedding guests did not feel safe eating the meal after observing this and luckily our venue lodging was onsite so they could heat up a freezer meal instead.   The quality of the food served to our reception was decidedly lower than the food which was served to my wife and I during our tasting. Pasta sauce that was smooth and sweet with caramelized onions at the tasting was bland and chalky at reception. We specifically asked what their prep methods were for our steak protein, and were told they would be sous vide prepped offsite and seared onsite. They were not, and arrived to the venue with steaks already fully cooked hours previously (some of which barely cooked and quite rare). "Roasted potatoes" became plain steamed potatoes.  While EBC was punctual in the leadup to signing a contract, as soon as the contract was signed they nearly ghosted us. I on multiple occasions had to call and leave multiple messages when emails went unanswered for weeks at a time. We noticed the red flag and discussed terminated the contract, but ended up trusting. We should NOT have.    You cannot trust this company or Devon at their word. So please learn from our mistake and do not trust them with your catering needs, ESPECIALLY for an important event like your wedding.

Let's start with if you are hosting a hillbilly hoedown then maybe these people are for you but…read morethey will still be late, these people are by far the MOST UNPROFESSIONAL CATERERS I ever met, this was a black tie Christmas wedding over a year in the planning these people show up late ( said they couldn't make the hill even though a 100 + more people and vendors and a uber made it up with no problem plus if you are a vendor in VT you should know and be prepared for the conditions ) they show up in sweats and t-shirts to serve a black tie affair, they were RUDE to guests, bridesmaids, other vendors and even myself and I am mother of the bride, they swore at a couple people, they were seen drinking at our open bar, we rented champagne glasses and we got plastic glasses that we could have bought from Amazon ourselves and some were cracked, they were not put on the tables people had to walk up to get their own champagne for the toast, they were supposed to serve the appetizers instead they threw them on the table on paper plates and cups for people to help themselves and the BEST by far is they RAN OUT OF FOOD FOR ABOUT 30 PEOPLE even though they were told a higher number would be there so if everyone showed it would have been like 40 people, they never refilled water glasses and some people in the balcony got NOTHING, they left the kitchen a mess with food in the drains and the next morning have the audacity to text and want to know where their MANDATORY TIP IS are you serious and now he is ghosting them won't answer anymore text these people should not be in this business they are clueless with nothing but excuses if I could give minus stars I would because he is a clown but not a funny one he knows he was wrong and won't admit it you don't run a business like that, so heed warning DON'T let this FOOL RUIN YOUR WEDDING alot of money was paid and he is so NOT WORTH IT ALSO FOOD WAS NOT THE SAME AS TESTED SO DISGUSTED WITH THEM-------- Donna Clifford MOTHER OF THE BRIDE
