    We enjoyed a delicious dinner for Valentine’s Day with our two kids. The restaurant was so cozy with a fireplace and games that kept the kids busy while we waited for food. Our server (Therise?) was nice and helpful. The meals were delicious and produce tasted very fresh. Lovely cheese board to start and I had the duck and my husband had steak. Both cooked perfectly. The chef also accommodated our picky kids with pasta and chicken tenders and French fries even though there was no kids menu. It really was the perfect combination of adult dining with our kids (very rare to find this) and we will definitely be back!!

    Had dinner at a high top table at the bar so we could watch the Super Bowl this past Sunday. The food and service were excellent! Mind you this is not a sports bar, so we gladly enjoyed it with the sound on mute. We ordered moules frites, house salad, burger and duck breasts. Everything was on point and delicious. I am making this a must go spot any time I stay near Mt.Snow. The resto is in an old inn, super quaint and cozy. I’d consider staying there next time. They have a speakeasy style bar downstairs.

    Service was terrific. Theresa was attentive and a joy to interact with. She gave us helpful recommendations. The hostess, Cathy, was welcoming and brought us to our table immediately. The food was very good, portions were ample but the service, especially in these post-Covid days, was outstanding. Haven't seen that for quite some time.

    Every meal was outstanding, from presentation to every bite! The fig martini was Devine , but the dessert of pecan cake with salted caramel on top was the show stopper. Wonderful staff & adorable waiter. Thank you for a wonderful evening!

    Our waitress Theresa was super attentive and the hanger steak was tasty and cooked to perfection. I had never tasted cranberry Prosecco short until this evening…delicious! The evening was topped off by enjoying a crackling fireplace ☺️ highly recommend
