Love the Gem - it's another Bolton Landing favorite…read more Last time we only came for drinks, so I'm glad that we finally stopped in for a meal. Everything was really good and portions were so big. The nachos were insane. Like, could literally feed five people. If you are ordering these just be aware. They were so so good and came smothered with lots of queso and pulled pork. The wings were also super tasty and they are a variety of dipping sauces. We ordered them plain rubbed and my daughter ended up loving this - perfectly flavorful without too much heat. The outdoor area has a ton of seating and they did such a cute job with the decor. They have a fun list of cocktails, and if you come out back for drink only you can grab one from the adorable airstream. For a great meal in Bolton you can't go wrong. It's a GEM :)

We are staying at the Sagamore Resort this week and wanted to check out the local food scene…read more We stopped in this evening and were very surprised by the quality of food and drink at The Gem. We started out with the Presbyterian and the Home on the Range cocktails. Both were very good. We decided to share several appetizers. We had the pimento cheese and pork rinds, barbecued peel and eat shrimp, and the Little Gen Lettuces. All of them were excellent and plenty of food. Service was excellent. We finished with a couple local beers.

They lack food but have a history of hosting group and business events. To that end I'm confident they offer a unique experience. I love the set up and location of this place! It's cozy. And you're probably familiar with the statement that if they don't have exactly what you want to drink they'll definitely have something you'll love. Support Local. Go there. You'll have a great time.

If you're in the area I highly recommend you make a stop here!! The spot is super lowkey, I love…read morethe layout/theme. It's small but spacious. The prices are reasonable and the service is amazing!! I went recently and had Rachel and Nash taking care of me and they were amazing. Rachel is so bubbly and radiates happiness! Their drink menu is pretty big, they are an "open" bar but the liquor they use is made locally so they only use one brand so in that way you are limited BUT the drinks are still delicious. I had the Lady's Limoncello which is featured in the little boomerang I posted. They do give you complementary trail mix (not sure what to call it - can also be seen in the background on the video) and I think that's amazing. They don't have a food menu so it's nice to have a little snack while you drink. I came from out of state and I would love to go back. Loved the experience and the staff! Also Rachel makes an amazing pina colada shot!!! It was my friend's birthday and she made us a couple of shots and they were so yummy!!

When I did not know what I wanted, the owner actually took some time to tell me about some of the different bottles they have. That's customer service! You see that so little these days.

This is a different place. They don't distill the whiskies here - they bottle them…read more Small but clean tasting room. You get a flight of four (4) 0.25 oz pours. That adds up to less than a shot but when you realize all of the pours are 110 proof and higher (one of my samples was 146 proof!!!) you understand why the samples are small. The Mom of one of the owners was our tasting guide and she did an excellent job explaining the sources of the whiskies and other details about the business model, which is unique. She also mentioned that the 'hazmat' whiskies cannot be put into your checked luggage on a plane. The whiskies are expen$ive - $100 and up per bottle. You can join a club and they'll ship you a bottle per month for $90, unsure if that includes shipping Except, ironically enough, in VT - you have to pick up your bottle there. Gotta love wacky state liquor laws. If you like cask strength whiskies, come visit Lost Lantern Whiskey.
