Veggie Poke Bowl
Irina D.

LAST MINUTE VT CHRISTMAS TRIP SAGA CONTINUES. Booked Tipsy Trout on what day by now - truly, I forget. It's a blur! But we knew we wanted to ski on Christmas Day. So the Tipsy Trout is part of the Spruce Peak Village in Stowe, where you can ski all day, then go to your room and shower and then enjoy some drinks and dinner! We hit the slopes for the day and came for the bar waiting for my husband to wrap up his skiing time. My friend and I propped ourselves at the bar where we wanted to warm up with something warm - soup and Port! She had the Clam Chowder (it won some sort of award apparently in 2019) and I had the Butternut Squash soup. Both good! the Port also - delicious, indeed. HOWEVER. The Port was $32 PER GLASS. mind you, the bartender showed us the bottle of Port and it doesn't cost more than $25 PER BOTTLE. So, this was a huge rip off. My hubs and I half heartedly made our way back for a late dinner - the Swordfish was very good, and so were the fresh cut fries. I had the Veggie Poke Bowl which I found to be tasty and good sized. Our waiter Alex was also very pleasant and nice, much more so than the bartender that offered us the $32 Port drinks earlier. The atmosphere is pretty casual overall, too, with modern decor and a relaxed overall vibe.

Had a reservation for 7:15 pm but they were able to take us early at around 6 which we appreciated! We were seated and our waiter Alex was amazing. He helped us with drinks and food all night. Honestly the stars are really for his service. This place is a mash up of seafood, some Japanese inspired dishes as well as full entrees like steak, fish, lobster rolls etc. We got the plateau in a medium and it was the perfect size, the oysters were fresh tasting and the chowder was amazing! Ambiance was good, relaxed and chill. A bit confusing as people were going to buffets at the alpine hall and sitting at the tipsy trout? Made us wonder about the buffet! Overall The drinks were fun, and Alex was definitely informative. We would go back from his service forsure. Which is why we gave this place 4 stars. Noticed the manager went around to multiple tables to ask about their night etc and never came to ours. Don't wanna take that personally but usually they go to all tables. Thanks Alex for taking care of us! The rest of the staff was great as well.

We really enjoyed our dinner here. The food was yummy (some unexpected flavors that mostly worked for us) and the service was perfectly evened out throughout the night. Definitely would recommend if you're staying at Spruce Peak!

Fried Brussels, spinach and artichoke dip, and French fries
Fernanda P.

We stayed at the Lodge at Spruce Peak and came here for dinner one of the nights and loved it!! The drinks were great (my sister who doesn't like Aperol loved this one!). The French fries were thin and crispy. The spinach and artichoke dip was delicious, even came with an artichoke in the middle. The fried Brussels were also great, loved the creamy sauce that came with them. For mains, we shared the lobster agnolotti. Not too fishy at all and the cream sauce was divine. The tuna hand roll was fresh and the perfect bite. The lobster hand roll had too much Mayo. For dessert, we tried the Boston cream pie but it was way too cold and make the cake hard and dry. Our server was very friendly and ambiance was great. Music was not too loud, which is something I always look for. We preferred dinner here to Alpine Hall dinner service.

Stopped here with some friends after skiing. The drinks were great, but definitely pricey. The service was great. The inside gives an elevated bar feel. Did not order much food other than the hand rolls, which were decent. This is a nice place to relax after skiing/snowboarding.

Scallops!

So we visited here twice at our stay at the lodge. The restaurant is newer, with plenty of seating, bright lighting and a cute rounded bar at the front. Feels less for kids, more for adults, which I appreciated! The first time we came, we ordered a couple drinks and they were not worth the price. At almost $20 each, it was not worth it. The punch I got was not great and his blueberry drink (didn't remember the name of it) severely needed the lime on the side squeezed in to drink. At higher end restaurants you could get cheaper cocktails that were far better, so I hope they reduce the prices slightly. For food we ordered a clam chowder and the pork buns as we just had a disappointing lunch earlier at the Alpine Hall next door. The chowder was actually....surprisingly amazing. Spot on with consistency and great depth of flavor with the added bacon. Also plenty of clam in this chowder, so no shortage there. The buns for the pork buns were well steamed but the pork belly felt almost too fatty. There was no hard sear, and almost appeared grey and lacked flavor. Not super satisfied with those buns we decided to not finish them and made room for dessert. We opted for the sticky toffee pudding and MAN was it amazing. The cake was actually huge, almost too large for just two people but filling as heck. The toffee topping was on the side so we could pour to our desire, which was great because while I didn't want too much, it allowed my bf to pour more. The Chantilly cream on the side was so smooth and creamy, 10/10. A couple nights later we returned, and were newly engaged (yay!) and we saw our previous waitress. She was so happy for us, offered her congratulations and genuinely wanted to hear how, where and when it happened! It was so sweet to feel like she cared even though we were just a random couple. It added such a nice touch. Then we told our current server once we sat down and he brought us a glass of Prosecco each to cheers with, on the house! It again, really elevated our experience and made us feel even greater than we already did! The clam chowder was so good I had to order it a second time around, and this time my now fiance tried to tomato chipotle bisque. The clam chowder was still a hit, and even my fiance who usually hates clam chowder said he would get it. So clearly worth getting! I guess it won an award for the best chowder, and I fully believe it! His bisque however was not great. It did not carry the heat you'd think a chipotle would and instead carried a more....marinara flavor profile? Not something we'd get again. We decided to split the scallops and man was this the right call. They were able to split the dish into two, so they were small dishes but hit the spot. The scallops although not carrying much flavor were seared and cooked perfectly. And what made the dish so great was the scallops were great vehicles to accompany the other flavors on the plate! The sunflower seed pesto was a night bright flavor (which I could've had more of), the sweet potato gnocchi was such a surprisingly sweet and rich flavor, the parsnips were hearty and the spinach was perfectly cooked. This was my favorite bite of the entire night! Overall the staff here were friendly as could be, offering their congratulations or just constantly checking in on our experience even before we were engaged (so you know it wasn't just for show). The food is probably the best on property as well. They only didn't get the extra star for the not so great buns or soup. But trust me, if we come again and order our favorites, it's 5 stars all around!

My credit card they charged is bigger...

Ordered the spicy tuna hand roll. $14 Was chopped tuna and an avocado slice. Had to roll myself. The draft beer cooler was broken so warm beer and they basically said, sorry...I'm stuck here for 4 days and will NEVER come back.

Atlantic Stripe Bass

Hubby and I were walking around to check out the restaurants at the hotel after we checked-in. Tipsy looks pretty nice and cozy, so we made an reservation for dinner one night during our stay. Over priced and food not up to par. We start off with the medium plateau (seafood tower) to share, the raw clams and oysters were decent ( can't really screw up as long as they are fresh) but the texture of shrimp cocktails & lobster tails were rough and rubbery! We also tried the French Cake sushi roll which was okay, For entree we ordered the Maine Lobster Roll (rubbery) and Atlantic Stripe Bass was salty and a bit over cooked. We don't mind to pay up for nice atmosphere, good service and more importantly good food!! We spent $280 on this dinner and it was not worth it for less than mediocre food. Side note: We also tried Alpine Hall (the other restaurant at the hotel). Sadly their food weren't any better! What a shame, such a nice ski-in, ski-out resort but meh restaurants on site. We end up driving out to town the other 3 nights for dinner during our stay.

Lobster roll and salad

Service and food were amazing. Felt a bit overpriced for the items. .

Seafood tower

My husband and I loved the tipsy trout. He had the poke bowl and I had the seafood tower, size small. The waitress knew everything about the menu and was able to recommend a wine that truly was amazing. I'd recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting!

My husband and I were staying at The Lodge at Spruce Peak for the long weekend. This was our 3rd…read morevisit at the resort and 2nd time trying Hourglass. We had a busy day and just wanted to stay in the resort for the night. We also had a big lunch early in the day so wanted just a snack and a few drinks. We headed for Lounge and asked if there were any tables available. While their weren't any tables there were many seats available at the bar! The bartender was very friendly and we were given a drink and food menu right away. I didn't see any drinks that stuck out to me, so I decided to stick with the maple lemonade. It was SO good, I had 2! My husband had a cider on tap and he also enjoyed it. All of the items on the food menu sounded really great and it was hard to decide! I wish we had enough room to enjoy a full dinner! We decided on the pulled chicken nachos and then figured we would get a dessert to split. The nachos were delicious and portioned very well! It was a larger portion which came out on a tray right out of the oven. They were so good we finished the entire thing. I could not pass up on dessert and again, everything sounded yummy! My husband is a big creme brûlée fan so we chose the chocolate creme brûlée. The presentation was beautiful, and it tasted wonderful! We finished the whole thing! If you are staying at The lodge I highly suggest staying in for a night and eating at Hourglass, or even getting a drink prior to your dinner. I'm not sure why Solstice has so many negative reviews but the food at Hourglass seems to come from the kitchen of Solstice, and it was very tasty and presentable. Definitely a must try in Stowe especially if staying at the lodge!

Hourglass is the best place to step up your apres-ski beyond the basic snacks in the Great Hall…read more(@Spruce Camp Lodge). Although pricey, they've got a great selection of sandwiches (all of which are served with house-made BBQ chips and goat milk ranch), and a decent handful of local beers, including the Stowe Ale produced by Rock Art Brewery. The house burger is as simple, yet as tasty as they come...it's topped with VT cheddar, cider-cured bacon, onions, tomato, lettuce, house pickles, and house burger sauce. If you're like me and want to spend every last minute shredding down the mountain, then fuel up on granola bars all day and save yourself for a nice late lunch here at Hourglass...you won't be disappointed!

At which point we needed to box our food because our (now very) hungry child was in meltdown mode. Oh and the dining room wasn't full and there were at least two waitresses. Other families got up and left because they couldn't wait, and I wish we had as well. When we told the front desk, they shrugged. On a separate occasion, I ordered the prime rib rare. It came out medium. When I told the waiter they shrugged and asked if I wanted it cooked more. They also served broccoli that was significantly undercooked on the same plate.... an absolute waste of $52. If you're considering staying at Spruce Peak due to the dining/dining credits, don't. The service for valet + dining is not good.
