We had a destination wedding in Burlington and we can all confidently say that Chef Larry's food was one of the highlights of our special weekend. Even at our restaurant reception dinner, our guests were half-joking when they said they wished they were eating Chef Larry's food instead. We had our wedding in Vermont primarily because we loved the food, and Chef Larry's cooking exemplified everything we adored about Vermont's farm to table scene. He was so patient and accommodating when it came to our guests with specific dietary restrictions. He happily made smaller portions to accommodate those guests, all without sacrificing presentation or timeliness. None of our guests with dietary restrictions felt like they were missing out or being given a sub-par substitute. I highly recommend the Vermont Cheese Plate. Chef Larry only put cheeses on there that could be found within a 50 mile radius. These were some of the best cheeses I've ever tasted. In fact, all of his ingredients were fresh and local. We ordered 1 Vermont Cheese Plate, 2 appetizers (the lamb lollipops and spinach and feta mushrooms), the heirloom tomato salad, the roasted roots as a side dish, and 2 entrees (roasted pork loin and coconut chickpea curry). This fed 14 people and we even had leftovers for days! Since we were staying in an Airbnb, we were worried that the kitchen might not be able to accommodate the needs for cooking a huge meal, but Chef Larry came prepared. We were able to go through the kitchen and let him know what we had/didn't have, but he was able to provide his own kitchen ware and serving platters (we provided plates and utensils). This was a huge relief and convenience because we didn't have to go out shopping for serving platters that we would only use once. We did not have to lift a finger. Instead of us cooking and hosting or even driving to a restaurant, ordering, and waiting, we were able to use that time to spend quality time with all of our guests and enjoy the meal together in the comfort of our Airbnb. This was so much more fun than going to restaurant. Chef Larry truly took care of everything so we were able to focus on just enjoying ourselves. In addition to being an amazing cook, Chef Larry is a truly genuine and kind person. Our guests enjoyed chatting with him in the kitchen and you can really tell that he loves what he does. Honestly, we are so jealous that Vermont has a gem like him. If you are considering hiring a personal chef/event chef in Vermont, look no further than Chef Larry! His cooking is a next level and a crucial supplement to the Vermont food experience. You will not regret it!

We want to share our experience with The Roving Feast so other couples know what to expect. We…read moreworked with 7 other wedding vendors, all of whom received glowing, five-star reviews from us. Unfortunately, this caterer was the one vendor that caused constant stress and frustration and turned what should have been a fun planning process into a 7 month-long headache. While the food itself was delicious and the on-site staff were friendly, that's where the positives end. From the start, communication was slow, disorganized, and full of errors. We requested two in-person meetings to clear up repeated mistakes, and both times were promised updated proposals within a few days. Instead, they arrived 3-4 weeks later, only after multiple follow-up emails and phone calls. We didn't even receive our final invoice until 11 a.m. on our wedding day. Food & Service: We were charged for four servers but only had two. Guests had to refill their own water carafes and even serve themselves salad on what was supposed to be a staffed buffet, and this was at the direction of the owner! Dessert was never served, and we ended up cleaning up leftover food, garbage, and bottles the next morning. Unlike every other vendor we worked with that day, who checked in upon arrival and throughout the evening to ensure everything was going smoothly, the owner never checked in with us at all. Bar Service: We were told we'd be invoiced after the wedding based on the number and types of drinks actually consumed. Instead, we were charged six hours before the event for a predetermined number of drinks at the highest price tier on her menu. The bar also closed 30 minutes earlier than we paid for, something we only discovered when the bride went to order a drink and was told everything had already been packed up. We also were told we would have two VTLCB-certified bartenders but only had one. When we questioned it, the owner admitted that the third food server had been pulled to work the bar, which meant an unlicensed individual was serving alcohol to our guests. Instead of addressing our concerns professionally, the owner sent a series of aggressive, accusatory emails demanding immediate payment while acknowledging errors on her end. When the groom called her to discuss corrections, she apologized for her tone and agreed to send an updated invoice. He even offered to pay for the services the servers had already provided as an act of good faith so she wouldn't be delayed in receiving payment, but she declined the offer. What followed were multiple hostile emails filled with false claims and personal accusations, including that we distributed more drink tickets than we paid for, a claim disproven by her own photo and our accurate count. Her behavior after the event was shocking, combative, dishonest, and deeply unprofessional. We've since reported our experience to the venue that lists her as a preferred caterer so future couples are aware. It's so disappointing because every other vendor we worked with was wonderful, responsive, and kind. We wish this had been the same experience here. If you value transparency, honesty, and respectful communication, please take this as a serious warning. The Roving Feast misrepresents its services, is evasive about pricing, and treats clients defensively and disrespectfully when questioned. It was, without exaggeration, the most stressful part of our wedding.

A palette-pleasing panoply of plated perfection, Michael's On The Hill puts "epic" in epicurean…read more The Farm to Table restaurant offers fresh local delights, served with carefully concocted condiments that complement--but never overwhelm--the thoughtfully selected appetizers and entrees. The delectable dishes more than make up for the limited number of offerings; there's something for everyone at Michael's On The HIll. My partner and I visited Michael's On The Hill on a Saturday evening in mid-March; we reserved a table for two after we finished skiing at nearby Stowe. If you want a table during the high season, reserve it early--space is limited. Andrew greeted us at the door and after escorting us to our table, handed us off to Heather, our server. Heather is a Professional Server and it shows: Throughout our two+ hour meal, she was available but never intrusive and conversational but never too familiar: She's worked at Michael's for more than two decades and knows the menu perhaps better than the Chef--her recommendations were excellent: Rather than pushing the highest-price menu items, she suggested dishes based on her knowledge, experience, and guest preferences. We started with the local Artisinal cheese plate--three generous cheese selections accompanied by apricot chutney, sweet red grapes, pickled vegetables, candied walnuts, and toast points. The balance of sweet and sour was superlative; the appetizer presented tastefully on a cured wood bark platter--two or three people can pick their favorites and mix and match flavors. The tasteful teaser was a trailer for the main attraction. For entrees, I had the Maple Glazed Duck Breast with Cider Duck Glace accompanied by sweet potato hash, Orange and Arugula salad, and roasted baby carrots; my partner had the special: Beef Bourguignon on top of a cheese polenta with sauteed spinach and a delightful Mirepoix ("meer-PWAH"). Beef Bourguignon is a classic French stew of tender beef braised in red wine--hearty, flavorful, and filling, this French dish is perfect after a long day of skiing. Executive Chef Hess' flourishes transformed the traditional dish into a magically delicious medley of complementary flavors. The duck was cooked to perfection: Soft, warm, and tender on the inside with a hint of smokiness--balanced nicely by the maple glaze and the cider glace. The sweet potato hash was actually small, sweet potato "cubes" mostly hidden below the citrusy salad. When I finally forked the sweet potato cubes, they'd soaked up the cider duck glace, detonating a cluster bomb of flavors in my mouth. We paired the smokey duck and stewy Beef with a succulent bottle of Andrew Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon, whose rich cherry-cassis notes and silky tannins enhanced the sauces and spices of our entrees. Micheal's wine list reads like a Great Novel--long, engaging, occasionally intimidating. Here's where Heather re-enters our Micheal's meal story: In addition to letting us taste an alternative or two from already-open bottles, her familiarity with the menu made our decision much easier. Finally, because I just can't say no to Tiramisu, we were presented with a generous slice of sponge cake soaked in espresso (beans cured down the street), layered with whipped Moscarpone cheese, topped with cocoa powder. We cherished a couple bites and asked to take the remainder home (by the way, Tiramisu is part of a healthy breakfast). Yes, Michael's On The Hill is pricey--with a 23% percent tip, our meal was about $275--but every bite was worth it. Find out for yourself.
