They use the Yelp waitlist, but I couldn't join it until we showed up to the restaurant, which was a little confusing. We ended up sitting at the counter by the wood fire, which was neat to watch. Our server (Jenn) was awesome. My drink was very pricy ($18), but it was pretty tasty. Everything was absolutely delicious - we got a Mac & cheese and 2 burgers with fries. I love that it's all farm-to-table. Would absolutely eat here again and *highly* recommend it.

I remembered the duck as one of the best of all time, and they didnt disappoint tonight. Starting with warm, friendly service, a solid menu and inviting atmosphere, it all came back to me. We started with an outstanding poutine with a base of fries in duck fat. Spectacular!!! Next, I had no other option but to try the duck. Served in a skillet with potatoes, and broccoli in a savory sauce that has a hint of sweet without being overwhelmingly sweet, it is perfect. This is definitely a must stop when in Stowe!

The food itself was just good, nothing bad but nothing that really wowed us either. Inside, the atmosphere felt fine but the outdoor seating was much more refreshing and enjoyable.

Overall, worth visiting for the service and outdoor vibe, especially if you're craving a good burger. We went mid afternoon, wonder what it's like on a weekend!

Also, the owner was super nice and our service frequently checked in on us. Great staff and establishment and I will definitely be back in the future! I do have to add that my Rimrock burger has some toppings taken off so it is not everything that is included!

The coup de grâce was the dessert. The ice cream of the day, which was an maple gingersnap flavor was outstanding, and carrot cake was hands down the best I have had in my life!

Luckily we got seat straight away. We had one salad, one veg pizza and one sushi ordered and fist 2 item came pretty soon. We really liked both salad and pizza.

We really look forward to long bike rides or runs in Stowe followed by dinner outside by the water at the Matterhorn, but our last two experiences were full of disappointment. The service was not as we remembered and the staff generally did not seem happy to be there and it was not busy at all. It's such a great menu and we love the setting by the river in the summer (occasional bear sightings too). We may give you another try in the spring, and we hope that you read your reviews and take action as such. Here's to improvement!
