    Amazing food! Amazing staff! I have gone 20+ times and never an issue. I highly recommend The Belfry.

    Yummm! This restaurant is amazing! It's always busy (at least during ski season), so you have to make a reservation. The food is consistently good! So good, we went back to dine three times in a single weekend. Their food is always fresh and made to order. They make all of their own sauces and desserts are homemade, too!! They don't have too many gluten free options, but they have enough. I would love if they started carrying an organic gf pasta and maybe a bun for their burgers! They do have some organic options (their salads are organic), which I REALLY appreciate. I wish more restaurants used organic food. We tried several things on the menu - all delicious! Service is also great and the atmosphere is casual, so it's totally okay to go in as a ski bum, or not! We are looking forward to stopping in again next year (for the 4th year in a row)! We highly recommend the Belfry!

    NY Strip with grilled shrimps. Comes with 3, ate one before I can snap a pic.

    Small rustic place. Interesting vibe! They've got old school vibes for a small town. Food is good. Service was good. Busy little joint. Best to make reso before you go.

    Solid 5 stars!!! We've done a lot of traveling, and eating out in new places can be scary. To say I was pleasantly surprised is an understatement. This place is a total gem. Marty's Maple BBQ Wings might be the best BBQ wings I've had. I want to eat a bowl of the BBQ sauce with a spoon. I'm not a burger person but this burger was 5/5 and the onion ringers were perfection. The wait staff was friendly, helpful, and fast. The pub itself has a lot of character and an interesting history. If you're passing through the area I highly recommend!

    This place never disappoints even with different owners. Every time we come back to this area, The Belfry is a must have for us. The food is amazing, the place feels welcoming and somewhat relaxing. Make sure that you take the time to make a reservation in advance.

    For me, Saturdays are not Saturdays without a burger.

    Spotted this place while vacationing at Jay Peak. I opted for the Jay Peak Burger--how fitting--and union rings. The burger was hot and juicy. The seasoning for the burger was spot on!!! The onion rings--the real variety, not imitation--were hot and crispy. I was puzzled by the pairing of the burger and onion rings with coleslaw. Must be a Vermont thing. But hey, it worked. It was fresh, crunchy and delicious. I'll definitely drop in again whenever I'm in the area again visiting. Service was friendly and the wait time for my food was sufficient.

    A bit far away for us but it's really good and not to fancy. Too loud for my hearing aids in the winter when they are busy with the skiers.

With the dismal and abominably warm winter New England has had in 2022-2023 ski season, we decided to go as far north as we could without crossing the border with Canada, so we lodged and had a superb weekend at Jay Peak, VT. In addition, one of my college classmates and Air Force career colleagues lives in nearby Montgomery Center, so he recommended the Black Lantern and it was one of the best recommendations ever. First of all, the history. Montgomery VT has the most covered bridges in a single town jurisdiction in the US. The area had a role to play in the War of Independence, when construction on the Bailey-Hazen Military Road to Hazen Notch began in 1777 as a way for the Continental Army to invade Quebec. Hazen's Notch Road begins a few blocks from the Black Lantern. The Inn was built in 1803 and remained as an Inn until it closed down in 2015. A group of concerned citizens bought the historic property, remodeled it, bought another building to expand the business, and reopened it in 2018. Its six rooms in the historic lodge and the four suites in the annex, allow for vacationers to stay in the historic town with close proximity to Jay Peak. But this review is for the dining. The truly fine dining offered here. We made reservations and they were honored on the spot, considering the restaurant was certainly busy. The beautiful, cozy and early American decor matched the ambiance and persona of the place. We got together with our friends and were seated in a wonderful location with privacy. The Black Lantern has joined into the farm to table movement and it shows in the amazing, fresh and abundant food available at the venue. Their beef and pork come from a local natural farm a few miles away. So does their lamb, coming from a local farmer. Their chicken is local. Their cheeses are from several Vermont producers including the ubiquitous Cabot Cheese, but also the Boucher Family Farm, the Jasper Hill Farm and the Vermont Creamery. Fresh vegetables come from nearby sources. The local and fresh sourcing of their food shows in the quality and taste of everything on the menu. And then there's their beers.... Local breweries and micros make an extensive part of their menu. Burlington's Fiddlehead, Zero Gravity and Queen City, St Alban's 14th Star beer, and Essex's First Republic. Their ciders are sourced from three locations in Vermont and even they carry wine from local producers. And their coffee is fair trade certified and roasted in town by Big Jay Roasters. The meal was impressive. We started the evening with Fried Yuca infused with truffle oil - succulent, and their Fried Brussel Sprouts that came encrusted with bacon, Gorgonzola and Parmesan cheeses. Crispy, tasty, superb. Then the salads for everyone. Fresh, crispy, beautiful. And it was time for main courses. I had their Chicken Curry stew which turned out delicious. Two of us had the lobster ravioli, made on the premises and as one of our group said, "heavy on the lobster" with not much filler. And then the steaks. About a pound and a half, perfectly seared with marbled pink inside. Truly amazing. Sadly, we had no room for dessert. With amazingly generous portions and two shared appetizers, we were stuffed. But what an evening. Service was impeccable.

When we left there were plenty of seats available in the front. We certainly would have stayed and had more drinks after our meal to enjoy the music. On to the food. We basically all ordered the same thing in a different form! Haha! It was the Vermonter where you got your main dish with sautéed apples and maple bacon jam.

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!

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.
