    Dinner was expensive and the food was nothing special. Something to be aware of - if you don't appear for your reservation or some members of your parry do not show up there is a charge of $15 per person who did not show. We had to provide a credit card number when we made the reservation. Also they have a nonsense rule about bread. They bake SMALL loaves. We had a party of six and received one loaf. When we asked for another they said there would be an upcharge, Had the six of us gotten three tables of two then we would have received three loaves. This comment may be petty but that policy definitely is considering our bill was $360.

    Fabulous restaurant. We ate dinner there three times on our recent trip to Bennington. Alyssa was excellent for the first two and her equally excellent colleague assisted us on the third evening. The food was delicious and abundant especially the salad bar. The restaurant is in a beautiful area with scenic views everywhere with their multiple windows. I have eaten at this restaurant in the distant past with my family when I was younger and the standards have been kept high all these years. The whole staff was kind and friendly which added to the experience. Will return again when in the area.

    The service was poor. Our server seemed very overwhelmed. Apps came out on a timely basis but had to wait a while for our entree. I ordered my burger med rare and it came out well (no pink) . Server never came back to check until the other members of my party were almost done. For almost $30 I would expect it to be cooked correctly. Finally ran my credit card and didn’t give me a copy. My husband and I have come here since Covid and this was our worst experience. I was pretty bummed.

    We had the prime rib and ordered med rare. It was overcooked and cold. The vegetables looked like a clump of garbage. A half glass of wine - $12.00? Your prices are too high for the quality of the food. Calamari appetizers was cold too and the coating was heavy and oily. Your salad bar was the best. I am a local, been coming to the restaurant for over forty years and it use to be a nice place to go, love eating on the deck, but now, I doubt I’ll be back
