Had a very bad experience last year. Returned this year and it was excellent. Great service and…read moredelicious food. Well worth the second chance

I want to start with that the food was phenomenal but there was one waiter that upset me. He was…read morethe man that sat us at the table but made a remark to us because we were behind the curtain and didn't fully come in but he saw us and didn't say anything so we thought to wait because we did get there at open. So he said his remark and we just brushed it off as him being slightly off. We ordered 3 starters, the foie of the moment, the sweet breads and the rabbit Tagliolini. The foie and sweet breads were phenomenal but their rabbit was lacking flavor and we also bit down on a bone. When our waiter came to clear the plates the other man (who sat us) spoke to him in French in front of our faces and I knew something not nice was said. I know we sound American but I who doesn't speak French knew something was said that was offensive. So I asked my husband who is from here what was said and he said he made a remark about how we finished all the dishes. So that was just another thing the waiter said to us that was unnecessary. Mind you, there's a tasting menu of 4 or 7 courses so I think he'd be shocked to find out that we typically do tasting menus when a restaurant offers them and those can me 10-12 courses. The female waitress who helped us toward the end seemed very professional and wish we had her. By the time our main course was in front of us we were ready to leave but the food was great. He got the osso bucco and I got the lamb. Noth were good, lamb had some fatty areas on the outside that were easy to remove. We opted out of the dessert since we were full because like the waiter said, we ate everything we ordered (weird thing to do I guess). If you're American, I'd go but with the precaution, you may be treated different or talked about in front of you in French sadly.

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.

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!
