“Visited Stemwinder in Ludlow and had a pretty solid overall experience.

I ordered a Prosecco, pasta, steak, focaccia bread, and their chocolate cake. The focaccia was really tasty, and both the pasta and steak were well-prepared and enjoyable. The chocolate cake was just okay, nothing particularly memorable.

The ambience is a bit mixed from the outside, the building feels more like a rustic, slightly worn-down hut, while the inside has more of a tavern-style vibe rather than a true fine dining atmosphere. That said, the prices lean more toward the fine dining side, which felt a little mismatched with the setting.

Service was okay overall friendly, but nothing standout. It has more of a relaxed, old-school feel, and you’ll notice a slightly older crowd both dining and working there, which adds to the laid-back vibe.

Overall, good food and a decent experience, but just be aware of the pricing versus ambience. I’d recommend it especially for visitors in Ludlow who are looking for a quieter, more relaxed dinner spot.“

“Our family had a wonderful meal at Calcuttas. Burgers, Rueben sandwich, fish and chips and the tuna with wonton chips appetizer were all good. The young man who was our server was excellent. Cordial, prompt and warm. We sat outside and it was a gorgeous Vermont evening! Perfect!“

“Incredible conditions, beautiful views and amazing, kind personalities in the pro shop and at the bag drop. Also- the food at Calcutta’s was hands down the best post-round chow we have ever had (and the bartenders were on point). 10/10 recommend and will be back.“

“Wow, everything you could want in a Vt. apres pub. Big portions, great beer selection, sassy fun waitress Becky made our night! And YES! The everything wings.“

“We decided to give this place a try and boy oh boy, did we score!? We did not reserve a table, and it was crowded when we arrived. Magical Madison made the difference for us, she had us seated in a prime spot in half an hour. She was personable, warm and completely efficient. She runs the desk with such grace and ease. I hope she is being paid well.
Our server, Kaiya, was amazing! She knew about the foods and the specials and she made great suggestions as well. Her service was excellent! We had the pork osso buco — delish! The burger, which was done to my specifications and delivered quickly, grilled pork with green beans, grilled pork medallions- so tender and seasoned right! The ceasar salad was crisp and fresh, our appetizers were all phenomenal from the chicken wings to the dumplings to the bread for the table, all tasty and eye-rolling good! Desserts were delicious and our drinks were spot-on! What an experience! If you want to sit in a clean, elegant place for high quality food, this is the place! Tired of burgers , pizzas and fries?! This is the place ! We plan to return.“

“Eat lunch here with a friend at least once a month. Friendly folks, owner is usually in the restaurant, I've never been disappointed. Best BLT in Vermont.“
