    Enjoyable evening, nice ambiance and wonderful and professional staff. Food was overcooked on several plates, duck ended up a little dry and scallops were burned on one side. Otherwise ver good time

    Lovely setting. Food beautifully prepared. Staff is particularily courteous and attentive. Prices are a bit high but worth every penny especially if you are celebrating a special occasion.

    Dave and I can not thank you enough for your kindness to us this evening as we celebrated our 55th anniversary. We shared with you our story of marriage 10 days before his deployment to Vietnam in 1970 and how very precious this day is to us, as well as our gratitude that he returned to be able to establish our family and continue to celebrate every year of our lives together. Your generosity is why we only go to dinner at your restaurant, to enjoy not only the best cuisine, but the most caring staff in all of Vermont. I share with you my poem to my precious husband on this day. Please pass it along to Jay, our wonderful friend and supreme waiter, who shares his poetry with us from time to time! Most gratefully, Patty  The Gift A gift is often a surprise, An unanticipated treasure. Wrapped in beautiful color, Not knowing what’s inside Until you pry open the wrappings - Which sometimes isn’t easy If wrapped too well to protect the gift inside. But with tender, careful, Even cautious unfolding, The treasure is finally revealed. And you cry with joy And even astonishment - It’s so beautiful, so joyful, It fills you with light. And your heart wants to break With the wonder of this precious gift - It’s YOU! Happy Anniversary, my precious gift Patty Sent from my iPad
