Kevin and Scott have done an incredible job since taking over the Inn. It is just what you would hope for as far as ambiance, it is spotlessly clean, very comfortable everything in our room worked, not an easy thing in 200+ year old building. Thoughtful things like an open outlet at each night stand for charging electronics, plenty of room for putting your things away. Breakfast was great and we enjoyed the pub/bar that is open for guests from 5-8pm. Very warm friendly atmosphere, we thoroughly enjoyed it!

Parking is street Overall, some dishes were good but others were barely heated. Seems to practice quantity over quality. With lacking service, if you need an international fusion fix, this is your best bet in Middlebury. This resto will NOT be a repeat for me but some in my family, like it. Hence the higher rating.

Favorite place to eat in Middlebury, hands down. Do you like a well-stocked bar with creative,…read morefrequently updated cocktails and a rotating assortment of Vermont brews? How about seasonal, rotating food offerings with yummy options for both carnivores and vegetarians? Then get yourself to Crooked Ladle and prepare to dig in. Standards like the nachos (IMHO the best in Vermont), falafel (bring on the hot sauce and tzatziki, please!), and French fries (crispy and well-seasoned) make this an ever-reliable stop when you need a nosh. Seasonal salads and soups are fresh, locally sourced, and nourishing while also being creative enough to make you wonder what that extra ingredient might be. "Garnishes" like red flannel hash, sauteed red cabbage, or stir-fried veggies could easily stand alone as sides (or the perfect midnight snack). Specials like pasta with pork ragu (topped with a tiny green salad for crunch) or perfectly-fried fish and chips are not to be ignored - be sure to ask about additions to the menu. The kitchen's sauce game is strong, too, elevating dishes like gnocchi or pork loin to the next level. A note: Because the Middlebury restaurant space grew out of a catering business (they still churn out fabulous food and drinks for private events, btw) you will not find selections like cooked-to-order burgers or steaks. But you can get those anywhere. Come here to treat your palate to something more interesting.

We enjoy coming here on Saturday lunchtime . Sometimes they have a food vendor come in or in the summer, they have the open area across from the brewery to enjoy for outdoor enjoyment (aka beer garden) where you can also bring your dog. From a beer perspective, we love trying all their beers which are fairly low in abv and very drinkable. They don't do flights but do half pours. Favorites are the American kestrel , any of the ipas really are great. They have a good variety of beers in cans to go as well. Kid / family friendly brewery. Bring a board game if you plan to stay long.

The owner was very personable and talked about what makes their products different and of high quality. I had a great time talking to him. I recommend their gin and the vodka.

How very Vermont!

We are from CT and got to chatting with the owner, who also originally hails from CT, small world. Ripton Mountain Distillery makes several flavors of moonshine - they had cherry, apple pie, and creamsicle on our visit. They also have beer, wine, other beverages like White Claws, and food. It's a full service establishment rather than just a distillery. They have indoor and outdoor seating as well. They offered for us to do a tasting of the three flavors of moonshine - $3 each. I said I didn't want mine straight up so they made me a tasty cherry moonshine/club soda/lime drink which basically tasted like soda. It was very good! My husband drank his straight up and said they were smooth. He loved them so much that he got two bottles to take home, and a T-shirt. We had dinner reservations back in Killington, so we didn't order any food, but the menu looked good. Everyone was very nice and they even gave us some complimentary popcorn to munch on with our drinks. I would definitely recommend a stop here if you are passing through or staying in the area.

I…read morewanted to try Ripton's house-made moonshine and buy a bottle or two but was unable to get past the waitress's hostility. She seemed offended that I wanted the local alchol instead of getting food and a jack and coke. I walked in and was immediately hit by the reek of tobacco smoke. When I sat at the bar I asked for a tasting and the bartender yelled at me about how they don't give away free alcohol. That's fine. A lot of distilleries charge for tastings and I told her I would be happy to pay for a tasting. When I asked what they have she threw a food menu at me. The menu was just food, and didn't even list the house made drinks. I gave up and left as she yelled at me.
