I ordered the skirt steak, medium rare, most expensive thing on the menu and it came RAW and inedible. I sent it back- I can't remember sending anything back EVER and when it came back the second time it was STILL RAW. The waitress became a no show and stopped eye contact even though I was gracious and said "no worries-" I couldn't WAIT to get out of there. I was still hungry since the potatoes were a watery mush and the asparagus was also raw and uncuttable. Horrible experience.

I heard about a restaurant in Essex shopping center,a breakfast /lunch place. It was 1/2 before closing ,patrons were still coming in. I love the back story of this place ,set in the western mountains with decore to match. it was fun to see all the antlers made into chandeliers . I ordered the flaky waffles, somewhat like a croissant but waffle shaped I ordered mine with cheese . It was melt in your mouth! I ordered the apple dumpling with vanilla sauce to go .I ate it at home ,this was not the dumpling I was familiar with ,an apple wrapped in pastry, it was more like an apple cake, it was ok. The service was good,and friendly.

It has a really cute, homey feel, and the staff were all friendly and helpful from the moment we walked in. We ordered the Skits N' Gravy, a side of the sourdough pancake, and two coffees. My husband--who absolutely loves biscuits and gravy--was excited to see the Skits N' Gravy on the menu. While it wasn't quite what he expected (the biscuit was much denser than a traditional biscuit and the gravy is bacon-based rather than sausage), he still enjoyed trying something different but said he'd just order a different dish next time as this was not his favorite. I had the sourdough pancake, and for a "side," it was impressively large. It was delicious and came with Vermont maple syrup, which was a great touch. The coffee was good, and we appreciated that they offered almond milk as a dairy-free option. Overall, we enjoyed our visit and would definitely return if we're in the area again--just with a slightly different ordering strategy next time!

Your bill includes a tip for the kitchen, but it also says that the business cannot pay tips for waitstaff. Really? I paid $16.75 for basic breakfast eggs, potatoes and sausage. Toast was $1.50 extra. Coffees were $3.75 each. My partner and I shared one plate to cut costs. After the tip, the bill came to $33 and change. For one very basic breakfast! From a positive aspect, the place is immaculate. We probably could have refilled our coffee (VT Coffee) for no extra charge. Tables were very clean and I've never seen a cleaner restaurant floor. The staff who delivered our food were a grade above average. In exchange for the priciness and rigid rules, you do get a good meal in nice surroundings, but the price shocked me after all the extra charges.

Fries were extremely soggy. The Cole slaw I took one bite and it was most definitely bad not to mention again... no seasoning or flavor other than a sour taste which I'm 99% sure it was bad. The macaroni.... the blandest macaroni I've ever tasted. No seasoning again. No salt. Not even the breadcrumbs ontop tasted like anything. This tells me it's low quality food without any seasoning? Salad was bland. Ranch was bland. I had a few pieces of lettuce with mostly croutons. I'm mostly perplexed by how you can even make food taste so bland? I did get an assortment of pies which looked delicious but haven't had yet. Extremely disappointing experience. If you do go here I suggest bringing your own spices. $50 for all of this food to only be able to eat the fish. Don't waste your time here

I've been coming here since they opened. Occasionally I'll sit and eat, though most of the time its…read morea morning to-go order. I'll give them 5 stars for consistency. The staff are always so polite and friendly. The breakfast sandwiches are always so delicious. Many options for vegetarians, or you can have the most delicious bacon you'll ever eat on a sandwich. The rolls are fresh baked in house, and certainly tasty, though I think they'd be better a bit smaller. The baked goods aren't extravagant in terms of uniqueness, but they hit the basics exceptionally well. Blueberry muffins are always moist, and the morning roll with the sugar and butter is so light and fluffy. I like that they also offer savory options in their herb scones. I find their menu prices to be quite reasonable. Most baked goods are around $3, with some less. Breakfast sandwiches start at $4 and the $6 ones are well worth it. In all fairness, I've never been nearby for lunch so I can't comment on that. But WCS is delicious, friendly and affordable. I was concerned for them when a competitor opened nearby, but they've weathered it and I know that I'll always choose WCS for a simple breakfast or pastry treats for the office.

Which mind you an almond croissant is simply a day old croissant that is split in half and filled with almond past and rebaked. They had been out of coffee and almond croissants that day and I don't know about the ambiance for that day. However I do know that the croissant we got was not fresh it was stale and the didn't have an airy flaky texture that true butter laminated croissants are supposed to have. It tastes like they used a cheap subpar butter and have burnt the croissant. The breakfast burrito was also badly wrapped and leaking everywhere and had for some god awful reason been filled with hard boiled eggs instead of scrambled eggs which only made it harder to handle.

For 3 people we shared the olives, 2 pizzas (o'cipolla was our favorite), and the chicory and citrus salad which surprisingly ended up being enough food for us. Our server was very nice but the food runner just slapped down the food and walked away quickly without saying anything which was odd. The atmosphere is nice inside with a huge pizza oven in the center and farmhouse-esque style. Definitely recommend for an occasion or nice dinner.
