The Red Slate Restaurant

Wings and servers were great as well as drinks and desert. Main meals disappointing. Spices were overused on salmon and pesto , fried fish had lots of batter on it and overcooked.

Not only is the Red Slate restaurant convenient when you're staying at the cozy Upper Lodge or skiing at Magic Mountain, it's got delicious food and the service is super friendly. It does take some time to get dinner, but that's because everything is made fresh! So just be aware, and relax! Enjoyed the food, the service, the cozy space. Definitely recommend.

Great place for relaxed family dining after a day of skiing. Friendly, helpful staff. The burgers and fish fry were great and the cocktails were delicious.

We always enjoy the service provided. Wings never fail to please, as do VT based cocktails.

This was a weird experience. Sunday night the weekend between Christmas and New Years and there was almost no one around. Maybe 10 people at the bar, which was lively and appeared to get drinks and food quickly, but only 2 tables of 4 or fewer people in the dining room. We arrived, and it was 5 minutes before anyone acknowledged us at all. Finally the bartender came around and confirmed our reservation and sat us, without menus. Another few minutes and the waitress said she would be right there. We were given waters, and a another 5 minutes before we had menus. The drinks were slow to arrive, but the broccoli cheddar soup came out quickly, and was absolutely delicious! We waited another 40 minutes for our dinners - both the same pesto linguini with grilled chicken. I was underwhelmed: the chicken was grilled and tasty, but the pesto was flat, the linguini undercooked, and the dish needed finishing with a touch of cream or parmigiano. It was also served with summer squash and zucchini - an odd touch of summer for a holiday weekend. We were given a free dessert for our wait times, and the waitstaff was friendly albeit missing. Probably won't revisit this one, even though I am a local and we have a lack of restaurants to choose from.

Always a pleasure it's so nice to have Vince out of the kitchen interacting with the customers and the food is coming out great and fast

Not going to lie this place looks sketch af. You’re walking in thinking “what the h e double hockey sticks am I getting myself into.” But the FOOD is phenomenal. Omg we had the best food out of stay in Vermont here. Get the cheese platter and the clam chowder!!! So good. I’ve never even eaten clam chowder but I wanted to eat a tub of this stuff. The staff is also friendly and made our dinners nice.

Atmosphere was not great but the food was very good. The hostess/ server was also very personable and attentive. We ended up in the restaurant during burger night and partook of that offering, Excellent. The server was so welcoming and friendly. Highly recommend.

Excellent service in this rustic VT setting next to Magic Mountain. Awesome food and drinks. Very reasonable prices! We will be back. Looking forward to the winter months when it will be a little busier. I definitely recommend reservations since there is a limited number of tables in the dining room.

We enjoy coming to Red Slate where we were greeted by our waitress, Kayla. We ordered our burgers and all were done to perfection. Vince does a great job in the kitchen we are never disappointed.

This place is awesome! Great food, great Staff, great rooms,

We always love the Red Slate, our only complaint was the service was really slow. There was a young man serving us and he could not serve drinks and the bartender was very busy because there was quite a crowd at the bar. I felt bad for them because it seemed overwhelming.
