I am relatively new to Creemee, the high milk fat soft serve ice cream served in Vermont. But for…read morethose who have not ever had it, let me say that it is extraordinary. It is my favorite variant of ice cream: super rich, it has a soft and delicate mouth-feel, and it is extremely creamy (hence the name). The Creemee stand (owned by the Boyd family) is my favorite place serving Creemee in the area. They always have vanilla and chocolate (which you can get as a swirl), and Vermont Maple. All three are outstanding, but I like Maple the best. There's just a hint of maple, which adds a hint of a maple/caramel that accentuates the creaminess of the vanilla. Sometimes they also have Black Raspberry, which is also very good. They also serve hard scoop ice cream as well and I'll bet it's really good. I just will never find out because if I'm at the Creemee Stand, you can bet I'll be getting some Creemee.

When we told people we were going to Vermont, everyone told us to try a cremee which is supposed to…read morea consistency between a soft serve and ice cream. So we did what we were told and went to the Cremee Stand up the road to where we were staying in downtown Wilmington. It's about three miles out so you can't walk it from downtown at night. The road is pretty dark. Once we got there, there was splattering of people who came just for the cremees. We ordered the maple cremee because -- Vermont. I will have to agree with another poster who said there was very little maple flavor. I really felt like I was eating a vanilla soft serve. I mean, I do like a vanilla soft serve but not the thicker consistency I was expecting and definitely didn't taste any maple. It was still a nice after dinner break. Note that they only take CASH.

While staying at the Nutmeg Inn, we decided to peek at the Fireside's menu on our last night. A…read moredelightful selection of tapas at reasonable prices in front of a roaring fire was impossible to resist. Our innkeeper Shelly was charming and gave us the run down on all our menu questions. We started with a lovely bottle of Italian wine that Shelly offered. Our dining experience then proceeded to the bread and dukka, which was a sourdough served with a dipping oil as well as dukka seasoning - a delightful taste combination. Next up was an artisanal cheese board -- with two types of crackers, three local cheeses, pear and apple slices, candied walnuts and the pièce de resistance-- an amazing truffle honey to top it all off with. The story could have ended here and I would been been completely satisfied with our dining exploration, but we were only halfway through. Next up were two tapas dishes served simultaneously, a lemon infused steak, with horseradish sauce (Shelly says they have a secret technique for preparing their steak) and also a fennel au gratin dish. Both were excellent flavor combinations but I have to give the edge to the lemon-infused steak, with the horseradish being the perfect saucy compliment. Before going on to dessert, we decided to try one more tapas dish - the chickpeas with andouille sausage and spinach. This combination was served in a bowl, almost like a soup. The sausage bits gave it just enough spice to keep it as interesting as all the dishes that came before it. In fact, I don't know that chickpeas have ever been this exciting, and I'm a big fan of the Garbonzo. I should also mention that the ambiance at Fireside is wonderful and cozy. A low wood beamed ceiling is complimented by unique artwork and a tasteful and low-level music selection. Be sure to ask Shelly why the Kate artwork is especially significant to her. Lastly for dessert, I chose the Dutch Baby Pancake. Served in a tiny but sizzling skillet with a cherry topping and a scoop of ice cream, no further words are necessary beyond the ingredients. Just be sure to have a glass of water handy because the pancake itself is extremely hot at first. Prior to Fireside, Shelly ran a restaurant in London for six years. Her experience shines through in the amazingly simple, yet awesomely elegant and novel food combinations. If you are looking for quiet, cozy, romantic dining in the Manchester VT area, Fireside is the hidden gem of delight, waiting for you to discover it! When we came on a Saturday night, we nearly had the place to ourselves. But I have a feeling that when word gets out, Fireside will be packed every night that they are open.

The woman approved. Quick digression - very clean bathroom, w an interesting painted sink (see pix)....and an old Remington typewriter. The lemon bar was amazing. My lips were so puckered the rest of my 50+ mile ride home, I was fantasizing about my good friend, also named Lucy, and what I could do with those puckered lips.

The cremee was excellent and loaded with maple flavor and just as good as the one at Vermont Cookie Love in Ferrisburgh. My husband got the fudge, and he loved it. They also have many bakery items, but we actually didn't buy any of that. We were quite satisfied with the ice cream and fudge. The Apple Barn is worth the stop and has lots to offer.
