Every bit of food was prepared just right. We did eat a pineapple salad that was so fresh and crisp and not overly dressed, which was on the Specials menu. I also ate the Halibut for my main course, which was also on the Specials menu. This was nicely done as well. My wife ate the pork tenderloin, from the regular menu, and it was delicious. The coup de grâce was the dessert. The ice cream of the day, which was an maple gingersnap flavor was outstanding, and carrot cake was hands down the best I have had in my life! The service was good, fast and efficient. If you are looking for a very good, but not inexpensive meal, we would absolutely recommend Harrison's.

They use the Yelp waitlist, but I couldn't join it until we showed up to the restaurant, which was a little confusing. We ended up sitting at the counter by the wood fire, which was neat to watch. Our server (Jenn) was awesome. My drink was very pricy ($18), but it was pretty tasty. Everything was absolutely delicious - we got a Mac & cheese and 2 burgers with fries. I love that it's all farm-to-table. Would absolutely eat here again and *highly* recommend it.

I remembered the duck as one of the best of all time, and they didnt disappoint tonight. Starting with warm, friendly service, a solid menu and inviting atmosphere, it all came back to me. We started with an outstanding poutine with a base of fries in duck fat. Spectacular!!! Next, I had no other option but to try the duck. Served in a skillet with potatoes, and broccoli in a savory sauce that has a hint of sweet without being overwhelmingly sweet, it is perfect. This is definitely a must stop when in Stowe!

Hidden gem with serious speakeasy vibes…read more The 126 is everything you want in a cocktail bar--cozy, classy, and tucked away behind a deli door on College Street. The drinks are expertly crafted (with or without alcohol), the jazz is smooth and never too loud, and the vintage lounge atmosphere makes it perfect for a date or a quiet night out. Service is warm, the music is live, and the vibes are unbeatable. Burlington doesn't have many places like this--don't miss it.

The atmosphere is very chill and comfortable with high back seating at the tables. I ordered the 126 Martini, which was excellent and had a soothing hint of lemon to the drink and garnished with one olive. We also ordered the Staycation, which was amazing. The flavors all blended together for a balanced craft cocktail that served up to its name. There was a jazz band coming on at 9 pm, but we had reservations somewhere else. We will definitely be back!

We both ordered the eggnog mudslide, a holiday special, which were served quickly and were very delicious. The night we went was their weekly karaoke night which we didn't know ahead of time, but it was fun! It seems to be a group of regulars who like to sing and the vibe was fun and laid back. The employee running karaoke was super nice and friendly and overall the whole place had really good vibes. I think we'll definitely be back next time we visit Burlington!

We visited last night and it happened to be during Karaoke time. The crowd was super chill, friendly, and very supportive of the singers. Everyone was having a great time and the vibe was pretty amazing, kind of felt like a speakeasy. There were people sitting at the bar, people clapping in the seats in front of the stage, and people knitting in the back. There were empty tables last night, but from what I read, it can get pretty crowded here. We ordered the Mudslides and they were really good, but a little too icy. Service was friendly and we felt very comfortable here. Loved the decor with the historic photos, the colored lights and the comfortable old style chairs. We'll be back on our next visit to Burlington!

You think the vibe would be more fun for a speakeasy but we came on NYE night around 8 and it was super dead and the lights were too bright for the vibe.

Not my favorite but worth a stop for one drink if you can find it!

It's worth it when you can get a seat and eat there. Let me give you the reasons why I knocked it down to 4 stars: 1. Getting a table for dinner here can be difficult especially during the weekend. Yes, even when it's below freezing point. They are that popular and not being able to make a reservation doesn't help. 2. The only dish I found out off many occasions and many items is the sausages. It's a bit more grainy in texture that as off putting for me. Because it's grainy, I can imagine that this was made by hand instead of mass produced.

The inn is a place where time stops and you feel like you've on vacation. It's also so Vermont. The room was great, because it was cute and ridiculously cozy, but it's the property and manor itself that are spectacular. The art collection is noteworthy, especially the way it is curated in the space. There are tons of welcoming places in the main building to play a game, read a book, or hangout with the ones you love. We visited in winter and the roaring fireplaces in the inn and our bedroom made everything feel so warm. The restaurant is phenomenal with fresh and local ingredients. Breakfast is not included, but it's not to be missed because it is outstanding. Croissants and anything baked fresh like the Dutch baby. Hash on the hill in a skillet was incredible if you like veggies for breakfast. The dinner is elegant, but approachable and rivals any fine dining establishments in the world. If you're a foodie this is the spot. There are selections off the menu for dietary restrictions like vegan or vegetarian. The chef is brilliant and staff very helpful. Also a kids menu that's not advertised. There is a lower level of the inn, tucked away bar with mixology. It's another great place to sit and enjoy the night. I stayed at Edson Hill with my 11 year old son and we loved every minute of it. It's probably less ideal with very young kids. The room we were in had some noise because it was on the main level. If you are sound sensitive you might want to choose one of the other buildings. I liked the style and cozy vibe of the manor house. The room we were in had everything we needed and the bed is extremely comfortable with high quality linens and real duvet. Heated bathroom is lovely. These touches elevate the experience. Above all, the staff are genuinely some of the kindest, most welcoming people you'll meet. They're also an incredible resource for all things Stowe. This inn feels like real Vermont. I left already dreaming about what the property must look like in all four seasons. I'm sure it's stunning. We're already planning a return trip!
