    Lobster ravioli special
    Erin H.

    Come here for a fantastic wine selection, some of the best cocktails you'll ever have, and homemade pasta. Oh and the freshly baked Parker House rolls are also a must. Reservations are needed and easy to book on Resy. Great spot for a date night.

    Currant sorbet marshmallow graham cracker tarte

    Wow. This place was insanely good. Need to make a reservation in advance and may only get a really early or really late seating but so worth it. I got several appetizer small plates as my meal because I wanted to try everything! They were able to make almost everything gluten and dairy free. The most insane part was the dessert. It's really rare for me to be able to order dessert with my gluten and dairy allergy. I got this grahm cracker marshmallow tarte with currant sorbet and it was so delicious. The pastry chef is apparently gluten free and vegan and the staff has different dietary restrictions so they make it a point to accommodate everyone. The people were also the nicest. Such a great experience to end our trip!!!

    My husband and I were already excited to come here for lunch but our entire experience still blew us away! Our server Dan was extremely knowledgeable and friendly and had great drink recommendations for my wine loving husband. All of our food was fantastic. We both think this is the best pizza we've had outside of Italy. The focaccia was easily the best we've ever had. The crab toast really surprised me with its flavors and my husband had half and he doesn't even like crab! This morning my husband went to the cafe and got us amazing lattes with local milk and fresh croissants which were everything that a croissant should be. We will definitely be back before our stay in Manchester is over!

    Title: A Culinary Symphony at The Crooked Ram in Manchester, VT Rating: 5/5 Stars Review: My apologies for the delay in sending a well deserved and 5 star review of this amazing place. I was here scouting for our next documentary film and the Crooked Ram was highly recommended by the Inn at Manchester, where I was staying. From the moment I walked in on the first night, I felt welcomed and at ease. The best part? No reservation needed! The warm welcome set the tone for the exceptional dining experience that followed. On my first night, I had the Duck special with couscous, paired with a delicious red wine. Every bite was a delight, and the flavors melded together perfectly. The highlight of my evening was my table overlooking the kitchen, where I could watch as my meal was being expertly prepared. The team at The Crooked Ram is truly amazing--kind, attentive, and always there to assist without being intrusive. So impressed was I with my first dining experience that I made reservations for the second night without hesitation. This time, I arrived promptly at 5:30 pm on a Friday evening to ensure I didn't miss out on another fantastic meal. For dinner, I indulged in the Tuna special, cooked to perfection. Paired with a Pinot Noir, the combination was sublime. The wine's smoothness complemented the tuna's flavors beautifully, creating a culinary symphony that danced on my palate. Overall, my dining experiences at The Crooked Ram were nothing short of exceptional. From the warm welcome to the impeccable service and delectable dishes, every moment was a delight. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting Manchester, VT. You won't be disappointed! I am bringing our team next time Thank you for two wonderful evenings.

    Beef Carpaccio
    Suarah K.

    Enjoyed a nice meal here in the dining room. Service here was excellent! The appetizer/shared dishes were good and we thought the beef carpaccio was the best around! I would have even ordered two if my partner didn't order a different dish. The mains were good as well we especially liked the duck. The cocktails are pricey and not as innovative as I would have expected. That being said, we would go back.

    This place is amazing. Delicious drinks and food and great service. I celebrated my birthday with friends and it was the most special evening.

    Who serves coffee without a spoon?
    Sarah W.

    Trying too hard to be hip but don't know how to be a good restaurant. The food is interesting and different but lacked taste. I found their croissants to be over baked and dry. They offer a small menu that does not change often. The ambiance is okay. You get to watch a lot of servers standing around talking to each other or to the cook instead of attending to the customers. We've been there 3 times and I won't rush back. I'm not sure any of the staff knows what they should do. Saw one person clearing tables, wiping table and serving food. The chairs were never wiped and he spraying the disinfectant onto the table and not the cloth. I don't want to smell or feel that spray while I'm eating. The breads, toast & croissants create a lot of crumbs. So please check the chairs. Our food was not hot. I had to ask to have the muffin warmed. I should have been asked if I wanted it warm when I ordered it. The sausage, which we had to remind them that we had ordered was not hot. Barely warm. My cappuccino was served without a spoon or sugar. I was told they had no white sugar. There was also no salt or pepper on the table. I hesitated to order another coffee for fear of how long it would take. Yep, you guessed it. It took forever. I was offered cream and I said yes. What I was given, I'm pretty sure was milk. I could tell by the color. So if you're good with asking for everything you may need for your meal, I guess this is the place for you.

    Credit card fee of 3 percent

    Over all a good experience. The service is attentive and food is creative. Portion sizes vary from table to table which was strange. Also note they charge a credit card fee which is strange for a place of this price point.

    While reservations were in The Yard, they have a great backup plan to seat reservations inside when it rains.
