“The whole family enjoyed an excellent meal tonight start to finish. Service was friendly and quick. The setting was beautiful. Salads were fresh and flavorful. Had the kalette appetizer which the whole table enjoyed. Entrees were fantastic! I had the rib eye. One son had the steak au poivre; another had haddock with heirloom tomatoes, and my husband had the pork chops. We all agreed it was a perfect meal. We ended the meal with wonderful desserts - maple creme brulee, marscapone cheesecake, banana bread pudding, and ice cream with a praline topping. Just the right size and sweetness to finish this wonderful meal. We hope to be back soon.”

“Have loved this place since they first opened! I could eat their food every week! It’s authentic Thai food made with the freshest ingredients ! My favorites are the ginger tofu stir fry and the Veggie Pad woon sen! This is a takeout only, home kitchen based place! Order at least 2 hours early! You will be very pleased!!”

“What a delightful little bakery and eatery in Vergennes, Vermont's first city! Everything was delicious and freshly baked (try the sourdough crescents, raspberry gateau and cardamom buns - divine!). Everyone was fabulous and friendly. We can't wait to return! Jeremy & Bryan”
“The best latte I’ve ever had in my life! Prices are beyond reasonable, and the vibe of the cafe is nice as well.”

“Quaint and comfortable, small town eatery with super professional and friendly staff and delicious, although limited, menu. Doesn't matter though...the ambiance and quality totally make up for it. The plate presentation is culinary grade and the flavors are devine but a little pricey for the portions, but all is forgiven for the tough times and raising costs in Vermont. My steak was a poor cut, seeming some porter or strip and quite slot of gristle, but prepared as I asked.”

“Restaurant Review: Fire and Ice - Middlebury VT -- This restaurant is a multi-generation family-owned restaurant that has made its staple in the Middlebury area. It has designed its restaurant to cherish the memories of the town and family. You can definitely see this in its eclectic, interesting decor, starting with the Sailing Boat Hull Shaped roof to the 10+ curated themed rooms that are filled with local treasuries and memories; you can see what families flock to this restaurant, big and small, to enjoy a fantastic family dinner. -- As a seasoned traveler, having explored 68 countries and 36 states, I approach restaurant reviews with a clear criterion: Taste, Presentation, and Service. My goal is to provide an impartial perspective, highlighting both the commendable and deficient aspects of dining establishments. -- The evening started with our amazing waitress - Michelle. She had a bubbly personality, constantly checking in with us, and was quick to answer questions, provide feedback and recommendations, and quickly resolve minor issues. She represented the restaurant well. -- Appetizers We started with the Fried Mozzarella. Since we were a party of 5, I decided to order 2 orders. Big mistake. They were surprisingly large, cooked perfectly, and served with an extraordinarily tasting thick creamy marinara sauce. -- Vietnamese Spring Rolls. I was very excited about this appetizer because, most of the time, you get deep-fried rolls that taste like oil. These rolls were wrapped in rice paper, served cold, and had the perfect combination of shrimp and vegetables - accompanied by a fresh cucumber salad and served with Ponzu (soy) and peanut dipping sauce. Very refreshing to the palette, especially before a hardy meal. -- Filet Mignon - this 8 oz filet was cooked to perfection - crispy on the outside with a buttery and soft interior, which you can top it off with bearnaise sauce or 2 amazing additional sides for the steak, a Bacon-Onion Jam, which was absolutely amazing, and pickled onions. My favorite was the combination of jam and pickled onions, which were savory, sweet, and tangy. Served with a baked potato. -- Shrimp Risotto - a special for the night was topped with a creamy chevre, green peas, and garnished with an amazing watermelon radish. I find that either you do risotto right or you fail miserably. In this instance, the risotto was cooked perfectly and presented with a velvety and creamy texture, great consistency, and the perfect combination of flavors to round the dish. I was impressed with the presentation by adding the spiraled watermelon radish, which added a great dimension to the dish. -- Classic Fettucine Alfredo - This is a tough dish for me to review as I had authentic original Fettucine Alfredo with Alfredo di Lelio's family in Italy. The founder of Fettucine Alfredo. This dish definitely stood up to the classic dish as well as it could, and in comparison to other versions I have eaten, it definitely ranks well. -- Whiskey Barrel Steak (not pictured) was my main entree. This dish was definitely amazing. I was a little nervous that the Whiskey and Vermont Maple Syrup Marinade was going to be overpowering. Still, alas, it was the perfect combination of rich, smokey notes and sweet undertones of the syrup. It really provided the perfect addition of sweetness to the dish while still allowing the flavors of the steak to really stand out. The twice-baked potato reminded me of the times my father twice baked potatoes as a kid. Hard top shell broke open with a creamy textured potato filling. -- Overall - This restaurant was excellent. It provides a space for the locals and visitors to get together and have a large selection of local flavors with twists along the way. The owner clearly takes pride in what he puts on the table, and the guests are treated with a great experience. Make sure you walk through the restaurant to see all the different dining spaces, which is a great conversation starter. Fire and Ice Restaurant”

“What a pleasant surprise. I knew the atmosphere would be Old World cozy and classy - but didn’t know it would be warm and down to earth (not classic and cold as some similar places might be).
But I didn’t expect the menu to be so creative and filled with reasonably priced surprises. The unexpected twists and variety of different foods for all tastes went way beyond what one might expect from a hotel restaurant.
Plus, we happened upon half price for wine bottle evening, which was another pleasant surprise.
Yet none of that would have been as satisfying had the service not been so friendly, again, down to earth and professional.
It was one of the most pleasant experiences at a restaurant I can remember and would be worth a trip even from Burlington to enjoy.”
“went in on a rainy weekday for a quick lunch sandwich. Overwhelmed with all of the options, in a good way. Ended up getting a fantastic blackened salmon sub. The owner is wicked talkative and nice. Food is amazing.”

“Food was delicious and flavorful, we had the veg pakora, tandoori chicken, Kashmiri chicken and chicken biryani, we throughly enjoyed all dishes. Service can be improved on especially by the lady in front, she does everything and this takes away from customer service. The second time we returned with a reservation and was still given a bad table in the entrance, our reserved table was given to walk-ins. The lady running food and water is very sweet and caring.”
