The quality of sashimi is unparalleled (especially for the area). The tempura is not heavy or greasy. The grilled lamb chop was amazing. Each week it's a new surprise menu! Kitsune is back at Talta Lodge summer 2023! Every Thursday from 5:30pm-8:30pm on the Talta lawn for the Little River Summer Series, an outdoor event featuring Kitsune menu, beer tent, live music, lawn games, fire pits, stream to wade in, and gourmet s'mores by La Shack. Family friendly and even (leashed) dog-friendly event. No tickets or fee to enter! Fridays and Saturdays from 5pm-9pm back in the downstairs lounge space - reservations recommended. For the past winter (Oct2022-Mar2023), Kitsune was located as a pop up on Thu, Fri and Sat at Talta Bluebird with a limited number of tables. Reservations are recommended for the sit down dinner on Thursdays. And your liquor tab will be charged separately - Talta keeps these funds but the tips do go to the Kitsune crew. Fridays and Saturdays are a limited bar menu. There is some take out available.

The parking lot is ample and it's not shared with other Businesses. We wanted hibachi but we didnt make reservations and the wait would of been long (make reservations) The restaurant is very nice and ample and has a really nice aesthetic. We ordered house fried rice, chicken wings, and orange chicken and crab rangoon. The food was amazing and the flavors hit and didn't miss. One thing I will say about Stowe is the people are the nicest, and this restaurant is not the exception. If you are in this area, eat here!!

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. Vegetables felt so fresh and taste was amazing. Sushi came after a while and it was little fancy as it was lit on the table to cook inside food. Taste was good but slightly burnt feeling because of fire. I will try other one next time. Interior is nice and have lot of space. We were seated on covered patio and next to us was a small stream flowing, that was nice touch. Enough of parking is available outside and it's free.

We, too, are locals who mostly avoid Stowe in the winter, but dined…read moreone night before a show at Spruce Peak and before that a fall family dinner and both were not up to par at Matterhorn. 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!

I called in advance and a nice young person told me that they could probably seat us within the hour. We arrived about 40 minutes later and were lucky-two tables were leaving. It's a small and clean dine-in area, so consider getting take out if they are packed and you don't have time to wait. I had a pretty big lunch, so I ordered just the Filipino Sia pao buns and as a table, we ordered the pork steamed dumplings. My friends each got the Sensei ramen. The buns were fresh and delicious and the dumplings tasty. The ramen portions were huge and looked amazing. My friends ended up less hungry than they anticipated and as they were staying in a hotel, reluctantly left their soup behind. The meal was fantastic and I'll be back for sure.
