Restaurants near Brandon Music

Food is excellent and original while reflecting Vermont local products; Sommelier and wait staff are helpful and friendly and mixologist crafts delicious and unique mixed drinks. Lovely and comfortable setting with cozy fireplaces. Conversation friendly.

Stopped for lunch before a game at Middlebury. Food was delicious! Friendly service staff!

Roots is that place you never are wrong for going to. The food and drinks are not only amazing, but insanely consistent every single time. The staff are inviting, knowledgeable, and simply on top of their game every single day. As someone who has travelled far and wide, Roots should be on everyone’s list of go-to’s. In terms of restaurants in the greater Rutland area, this should always be a first choice on anyone’s list.

We’ve had some inconsistent experiences at the River. Really enjoyed it when they first opened, awesome chicken wings app (large sized pieces), good clean food. Seemed like it went downhill after Covid, trouble finding good/experienced staff, food was disappointing. Our food was much better this time, burgers cooked as ordered, fries weren’t greasy/soggy, and our server seemed knowledgeable. Gripes: the salmon dish is underwhelming for the price, the rice that came with it was bland. Also the desserts were mediocre, cheesecake and mousse layer cake were cold and the cheesecake didn’t seem homemade. Overall, though, better than previous recent visits, and hopefully things are on the upswing!

We always love our visits to the taproom! Delicious food, great drinks and friendly service!
