But we had a friend in town visiting, and so we took him and our exchange student out. Much to our 49ers family's surprise, we found out that it's also a "Niners" place, so it was great to see local support of the team. The establishment is like many Vermont pubs, very low key and straightforward, down to earth. Great, friendly staff, and attentive. We ended up ordering a lot of food - fried pickles, burgers, etc. and it was all good pub food. None of it is like "Michelin star" but it's certainly good food, served in a good pub atmosphere. We'll definitely be going back at some point.

The ambiance inside was very comfortable with lots of seating and warm lighting. There is also a ton of seating outside out back. The bartender wasn't busy but even when there were other customers she was attentive and quick to serve each person which was appreciated. The coolest part is the pizza place in the same building but on the right of the entrance (Fiddlehead on the left) so you can order pizza and they will deliver it to the seating in the brewery if you are having drinks! They also have their own seating and a sign said you can bring in your own wine for no corkage fee. Very cool! We did not have any pizza but it looked great! And for the complete VT experience, check out the Fiddlehead swag, they had some nice stuff!

IPA's, Mexican lager (think corona but better), blueberry, pale ales, Italian pils...the list goes on and on - literally something for everyone. Pricing is extremely reasonable - $6 for a pint on average. They have a ton of merch but have limited cans to go. Folino's pizza is right next store and they'll even bring it right to you while you grab your beer! The only *negative* I can find is the space is very open and industrial which doesn't encourage you to hang out for too long. Grab a beer or two, eat your pizza, and it's time to pack up! But we still enjoyed the experience and felt comfortable while there. Highly recommend stopping by if you're visiting Shelburne farms or the museum as it's just minutes away!

The food was excellent. 3 of us chose steak and eggs. The steak was easily the start of the meal. So delicious I wished I ordered it. The home fries were also amazing. I had the Starry breakfast. Basically it was bacon and eggs. Over medium eggs were perfect. Bacon was good not great. My son ordered French toast and it was super sweet but delicious. The orange cream on it was especially good. Definitely recommend brunch here.

I was treated to dinner here. This, the Starry Night Cafe', is not the sort of place I would…read morepatronize and I'm still asking myself if I really dined here. It's that a friend treated me here because I did all the driving in and around the Green Mountains of Vermont to look at the scenery. Starry Night Cafe' is about fine dining. It's also about "new" cuisine, so that means creative culinary takes on what could be ordinary dishes. Sometimes I'll buy into the concept of "new" and sometimes I won't. Either way, the food here is not meant to be just like it is at all those other restaurants! The two chosen starters were a Caesar-like salad and a cheese plate. I liked my salad, but felt the cheese plate didn't have much to it, although the cheese was of high quality and good. The entrees selected were the mafaldine pasta and the salmon. My friend thought the salmon was good, and I thought my pasta was very good. Portions were about right for fine dining and, thankfully, not abysmally small. The mafaldine's presentation looked green as if it the sauce might be pesto, but it is not. It's a spinach pasta. Also, note that these are pronounced "mah-fahl-deen-eh" and not "mah-fahl-deen." A dessert was ordered and it featured berries and cream. I tried a little bit of it and it was delicious. The bread that arrived at the beginning of the meal was excellent. The serving staff seemed excited about the vaudouvan butter. This name doesn't mean anything to me. Should it? The menu mentioned that the butter was flavored with curry. I hesitated and was told that it was a French curry. I wondered how that might be different. Still, no matter how much or how little you use of it, the aftertaste lingers for too long. I did not like this nifty butter. Starry Night Cafe' looks inconspicuous from the parking lot. Once inside, there are several nice rooms in which to eat and you initially see a tastefully appointed bar. Each of the dining spaces has a slightly different personality. There are even outdoor spaces flanked by a large pond that would have worked well if it wasn't as humid as it was that day. Even the restrooms are decked out, right down to what might be oil paintings by local artists ... and the restrooms even smell good! The name of the restaurant does indeed refer to the work of Vincent Van Gogh. The service is excellent. They both explain the dishes you inquire about and answer other questions you might have. Being my usual self, I was observing and making assessments of the situation, such as the service and its style. It was funny in that it tried to be informal and even a little folksy, given that it's Vermont, when it is in fact fine dining. In reality, the real vibe was that the interaction was more formal than in many nicer restaurants, whether rural or urban. With that said, Starry Night is an expensive restaurant. I asked my friend about all the 5 star ratings. My friend said that, for Vermont, it is probably a 5 star event, but if it was in New York City and its environs, it would most likely fetch 4 stars. I'll go with that logic. The entree and the dessert were very tasty, but I did not like there being a polarizing spice in the butter, nor the small portion of the (other person's) cheese plate. I did appreciate the curated atmosphere and the professional service. Starry Night Cafe' made for a very interesting experience. I chose things from the menu that worked for me. I'm glad that I was taken here to eat, and I'm (humorously) stressing the words "taken here."

But it's more than just a restaurant, it's a relaxed bar that's both modern and rustic. My wife and I visited for the first time tonight for dinner. We arrived to find a meticulously-clean establishment finished in a very comfortable wood theme, like a cabin. We were greeted by the owner and took a table rather than sitting at the bar. The bar was quite crowded and there were a couple other tables occupied, but the noise level wasn't bad. There are TVs visible from almost any angle for sports fans. Bucky's has a full bar and and a solid beer selection that's sure to please anyone. I was impressed that there are some very high-quality selections available at the bar, including Maker's Mark. Your average small town bar often doesn't have that. The menu is surprisingly extensive and offers a wide variety of items. You'll find everything from basic pub fare to exotic chimichangas. Yes, there is such thing as a steak and cheese chimi! I can't wait to try that next time. There's a good amount of appetizers as well. The potato skins with bacon were among the best I've had-- go just for those if you aren't too hungry! For dinner we had a blue cheese burger and fish & chips. The burger was charbroiled greatness topped with unusually good blue cheese. Fries are typical shoestring type and are good but nothing special. The fried fish was a good portion and made just right. It didn't seem frozen or old and was perfectly flaky and tasty. The dessert menu looked great but we were stuffed by then. I remember an Italian lemon cake type offering, which I can't wait to try next time. The owners and waitstaff were very attentive to our needs and stopped by a couple times. The chef came out and spoke as well. There's a very familiar feeling and friendly vibe happening. Bucky's rocks, you need to go there, that's all I can say!

The vinaigrette tossing the fresh, varied greens was so savory light and bright it lifted the whole dish. The portion was bountiful and studded with tons of the goodies! My guests chose the sandwiches, the Specials, the soup, the fish & chips, the Smash Burger, on and on. All were rated high! Kudos for plenty of gluten-free options beyond the usual salad! The owner was present and lovely as were her waitstaff. Knowing it was my birthday occasion, I was treated to their usual dinnertime treat of dark chocolate-pretzel bark so divine that we all left with a smile.

Other options are lackluster. For instance, the chicken & french toast has so much promise. I expected 2 or 3 nice juicy chicken tenders with a couple pieces of homemade french toast, all eggy & cooked on a griddle. Nope. Three 3" hard "tenders" and a bunch of deep fried french toast sticks that arent all that dissimilar from those sold in the freezer section of the grocery. It was more of a kid's meal but it wasn't listed as such. I had hoped for something more elevated with a more homemade touch. Was it bad? No. Was i disappointed? Yes.
