I ordered the grilled chicken with a side salad instead of fries. It comes dressed with a light vinaigrette. Perfect! Others in our party had crab cakes and pulled pork. All satisfying. The Brussels sprouts appetizer was fried with pork belly. The only item to ding was the corn chowder. It had more potatoes than corn. Still tasty. We ate everything. That says it all.

Went for dinner and the food was OK. I had a new Citizen Cider I've never had before (Strawberry…read morecrush) and it was good. Sweet, but good. Had a wedge salad, Ruben, and Rachel sandwiches. If I knew the rye bread was going to be buttered, I would have asked them to leave that off (it was probably buttered and then placed on the grill). However, the service was the excellent part of the meal. The waitress was really good. She's the one who recommended the cider to me. She offered a sample taste first, but I just went with a full glass. The server who brought the salad asked if we needed anything else when he brought it. While eating the salad, the waitress checked on in us to see if we needed anything. Our sandwiches came and were correct. Again, the server asked if we needed anything else. Waitress checked in and asked if I needed another drink. So many servers do the minimum, but want a maximum tip. This was the opposite. Thanks to a great waitress and other staff at McGillicuddy's in Waterbury.

BLUF: the food is good but not great. A bit pricey for what you get. Friendly service…read more Two of us went here for lunch on a sunday. We ate at the bar, and the service was very friendly. Got the carne asada and al pastor taco dishes. The carne asada was tasty but quite chewy, definitely overcooked. The al pastor was very tasty and if I went back that's what I would get again. I do think the price is a bit steep. The tacos are pretty small given the price you pay for them, and for just a basic lunch for two of us with tacos and a drink came out to $50 with the tip. The service was friendly, and the view is very nice although frankly in this part of Vermont is hard to find a place where it isn't nice.

It's worth it when you can get a seat and eat there. Let me give you the reasons why I knocked it down to 4 stars: 1. Getting a table for dinner here can be difficult especially during the weekend. Yes, even when it's below freezing point. They are that popular and not being able to make a reservation doesn't help. 2. The only dish I found out off many occasions and many items is the sausages. It's a bit more grainy in texture that as off putting for me. Because it's grainy, I can imagine that this was made by hand instead of mass produced.
