This is THE SPOT!…read more From local cult breweries (The Alchemist, Hill Farmstead) to really unique bottling from popular breweries (Sam Smith Pale Ale) the selection of this place is incredible from beer, to wine, to liquor.

Overall WAY overpriced for the quantity/quality ratio!! The Malbec was GREAT and passion fruit margarita (B+\A-) but needs more alcohol for the price. C'mon!!

Music volume on the outside patio is better this visit. 1 star deduction for lack of value

Good atmosphere, good food, good drinks…read more I had made a reservation for a table but had no problem getting a bar seat instead. I was there on a Tuesday and it was half priced oysters - what a thrill! My bartender made an excellent recommendation based on my preferences. Oysters were great and shucked at the bar. The mignonette was perfect. The beef tartare was marvelous - juicy meat, well balanced with the sauce and truffle chips. Triple crème was phenomeeeennnaalll. I shared that my doc is making me be gluten free and asked if there was anything that could serve as a sub. A server offered gluten free crackers (which were way tastier than they looked!). My only disappointment was that they didn't give me a heads up that the gf option was a $6 up charge. I know GF costs the restaurant, and I'm generally willing to pay a little more, but $6 for 15 crackers feels excessive!! The cheese itself was 10, I don't know that I would have added 50% to that item bc I can't eat the bread, and I would have liked the option of making the decision. Would return, but definitely want to give the heads up to my GF friends about the steep up charge.

We had the loveliest time here! We visited for their charcuterie workshop on a Sunday afternoon,…read moreand it was such a nice way to spend the afternoon. We got there early and were greeted by the most friendly workshop host/Dedalus employee, Brittany. They were still in the process of setting up the class, so we walked over to their little store/gift shop. I could've looked around in there for hours! They had so many unique and interesting things - panettone, gourmet chocolates, tin fish, meats, cheeses, gift boxes for the holidays, and much much more. The workshop we took was wonderful. It was lead by Brittany, their sommelier, and Dana, their cheese monger, and they taught us about different wine, cheese, and meat pairings to curate a holiday charcuterie board. The wines and cheeses they selected were divine and so delicious. I loved everything that they gave us, and they selected some pretty unique choices that I was worried I wouldn't enjoy. Everything was wonderful, and they gave us a lot of information about everything we consumed. This store is such a lovely spot and I wish I had something similar near me! It's cozy and classy, without being pretentious. Their sommelier knows so much about the wines they have and I never felt silly or stupid asking questions. She mentioned that she loves to ask customers about their preferences and budget and keeps a very open environment when people come in, and is able to select the best wines that suit them. I'm looking forward to coming back here the next time I'm in town!

I'm not even eating refined sugar these days for health reasons, but I just HAD to try a creemee while I was in town because it quickly became very clear to me that locals are obsessed with them. My friend recommended this spot because it's very loved by locals, and I can definitely see why! I got the maple + black raspberry swirl and was NOT disappointed. The combination was so good--sweet, fruity, and very Vermont. Definitely a must-try if you're visiting Vermont, especially if you've never had a creemee before!

Our server was really kind and helpful, giving some great recommendations for drinks. We ordered the cheese plate and I got a local cider, and Nate got "Vermont's most popular beer" according to our server. The cheese plate was a generous portion of three different cheeses, along with plenty of bread, some fruit preserves, and some honey on the plate. I would have preferred the honey in its own container vs. just on the plate, but it was easy enough to avoid. The cheeses were all delicious, and the bread was perfectly toasted. I really enjoyed my cider, which was a bit sweet. The menu sounds really great here, and I'm sure we'll be back the next time we're in town.

I thought this place was perfectly fine…read more came maybe like around 7, it was pretty busy in general. i saw the oysters but i wound up feeling like they were too expensive so i passed on them, i think it was like 3+ per, might have to try to find a happy hour. i got a fish and chips, which was actually fish + two shrimp. i thought the dish was fine, wasn't bad overall i didn't feel like it was very much food, all things considered. $22 plus tax and tip is a fair bit to come away from still feeling sort of hungry, but i'd still probably come back again just because i thought the service was good and fairly quick. the vibe here is nice too if you want something more lively

I love this place!…read more If you like classic arcade games and pinball games from the 80's & 90's (and who doesn't), you will love The Archives! It is exactly what you would expect - an old school arcade mashed up with a bar that serves quality drink selections. They have many classics including: Ms. Pac-Man, Centipede, Dig Dug, Frogger, etc. Pinball games include: Star Wars, Pokemon, and Godzilla. The customers and workers are all super friendly. Prices are reasonable. My wife and I want to come back for some tournaments. I think I'd have a shot at Ms. Pac-man. She would dominate Star Wars.

Nate and I were hanging out at Akes' Place and wanted to get something healthier to snack on while…read morewe watched football, so I hopped on Yelp and explored some nearby restaurants that offer takeout. I looked at the menu for American Flatbread online and their salads sounded delicious! It was hard to choose but I went with their kale caesar salad. It was easy to place an order for pickup right from their website. Once it was ready, Nate walked over and picked it up. The salad was packaged nicely and easy to mix up with the dressing. They included utensils and napkins, which was appreciated. The salad was delicious and one of the best kale caesar salads I've had recently. The dressing was thick and coated the kale really well, and I liked that it was a baby kale versus a hardier curly kale. The lemon was a nice touch and added some brightness, and the cheese was salty and perfect. The portion size was great too, and a good amount to split for a snack. I have bumped this spot up on my list for when we come back!
