Genuinely one of the best meals I’ve ever had in my life. Rolls with dill honey butter, mussels, tomato salad, crispy cauliflower, fettuccine…crème brûlée and chocolate pistachio tart…cocktails and homemade guava lemonade…I’m writing this all down because I want to remember literally everything. Not to sound dramatic but in the car home I almost cried thinking about how incredible it was. Thanks for an amazing evening.

A must go when in Ludlow. They were able to get us a table even with no reservation (not recommended). The menu and drinks were fantastic and when we made a special request, they were happy to accommodate.
We will come back!

Excellent food, drink, and service. A truly great dining experience.

This restaurant is one of my all time favorite restaurants, not just in Vermont, but in the U.S.! I travel quite a bit and am quite picky! Lol-and this restaurant never disappoints! The service, the staff, and the food are absolutely outstanding! 5 stars! From the drinks to the starters, to your main dishes and desserts-everything is expertly crafted, served and prepared, and absolutely delicious! The staff is amazing-shout out to Jessica who was our warm and friendly server last night! And to the incredibly gracious hostess who got us a table in spite of our advanced reservation not going through! The bartenders are second to none! The restaurant itself is warm and inviting and is a true gem. You will not be disappointed! I have “retired” from skiing and my hubby says I only come up here with him to go to Homestyle! Lol (He is correct! :)) Thanks Homestyle for always being amazing!! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

When you take in the pristine beauty of a State like Vermont, and you happen to be in Ludlow and wonder which of the few places you should dine at; think no further. The Homestyle Hotel/Restaurant truly lives up to its name and captures the quintessential vibe that true Vermonters want you to feel.
Walking into the restaurant you are surrounded by bucolic charm, rustic and very cozy. But the food is what will captivate you and make this a memorable place. On my last visit I took a seat at the bar, which always has the friendliest bartenders; locals who care about the experience visitors have at this place. I started with a delectable plate of Roasted Rainbow Carrots (Maple Glazed) with toasted peanuts and Thai Basil salad. It was very savory and the perfect starter. On a previous occasion I have also had their Foccacia bread, which is truly one of the best. For the entree, I settled for the Grilled Sirloin steak. It was absolutely mouth watering with sautéed mushrooms and pickled shallots and sweet potato purée. It was as delicious a meal as my previous visit.
The service and the atmosphere is very family friendly and a refreshing departure from the glitzy/tony restaurant scene. You come to this restaurant for a great meal, and you leave with your expectations exceeded.

Tom made me one of the best espresso martinis of my life and Ratcha was lovely to to chat with!

This is the restaurant that all others shall be compared to. The drinks, the food, the people. All amazing. Every cocktail is made with proper ratios, balanced, perfect in all the right places. The Menu changes seasonally, (sometimes more often!) so it’s hard to recommend any dishes as they probably won’t be available in the future. However, every dish I’ve had has been a grandslam. Perfectly cooked. Perfectly seasoned. I can’t say enough good things. Oh yeah, when you’re done eating, get the limoncello. You’re welcome.

We drove 3.5 hours from Connecticut for what we thought was dinner at a different spot across the street, which we'd confirmed earlier in the week. Upon arrival, we found out it had closed for a private event—frustrated would be an understatement! But from the moment we walked into Homestyle Hotel, everything changed for the better.
Taylor, the General Manager, greeted us with the warmest welcome and completely turned our evening around. Her kindness and immediate service—getting us drinks and snacks while we waited for the bar to open—was above and beyond. It's clear why this place comes highly recommended by our local friends.
The food? Incredible! The garlic potato smashers were next level. This one night in Ludlow became an unforgettable experience, thanks to the perfect vibe and outstanding hospitality at Homestyle Hotel. We’re already planning our next visit!
Food and drinks: See review. Amazing!

A brutal dining experience!
My wife and I arrived around 7:45pm on a Friday evening with no reservations. The hostess was kind enough to find us a table for 2. The server was initially very pleasant and helpful explaining the dining experience. I ordered a Manhattan to start. We ordered focaccia bread to start, a kale salad, lemon risotto, and NY strip to share. This was date night after all.
The bread came fairly quickly, followed shortly by the salad. The risotto took another 20 minutes. We saved some risotto thinking it would also be good with the steak. Then we waited.....and waited....and waited. Risotto turned cold, but I ate it anyway. 30 minutes passed and I began to look for our server as he had not checked in on us. I finally waived down another server and asked about our steak. He checked on it and told us it was "on the way". 45 minutes passed from the time we received our risotto until our steak arrived. By then it was 9:30 and we asked to have it boxed up to go.
We then waited again....and waited...credit card sitting on our table, and still no sign of our server. I finally got up and tracked down the hostess. I asked what happened to our server, and explained our evening. She initially seemed concerned, and insisted on notifying her manager. I said fine, but we really need to go. She then brough back our check and awkwardly said that we could either pay it, or we could speak to her manager. It was such a weird interaction....so weird that I just paid the $140 bill to get out of there. The manager then returned with our receipt, said thank you, and walked away. Bizarre, to say the least!
As we were leaving' I finally saw our server and I turned around to go and speak with him. When he saw me, he spun around and hustled the other way. As I headed out the door, the manager said "thank you, have a good evening". I stopped in my tracks, turned around, and said "what happened tonight"? She initially seemed confused about my question, until I walked her through our evening's timeline. She then said that she was recently been made aware of our situation, and that they had a new cook that they thought could handle things, but evidently not. I then reminded her that she had brought us our receipt, had not acknowledged our complaint, and that nobody in the entire restaurant had communicated to us that there were any issues or delays.
I then turned to the server (who had joined the conversation) and asked what happened to him, and that he's been MIA for almost an hour? No offer of water, no drink, no communication what soever. He simply shrugged his shoulders and said sorry. I said "now we're going home with a $35 steak that arrived 45 minutes after the last course at 9:30pm, that will likely be eaten as leftovers later in the weekend. They didn't even offer to take it off our bill.
I expressed the great disappointment in our meal, and explained the importance of communicating with their guests. I'm really not even sure who was more to blame for our experience; the server, the cook, the manager, or whoever employs them. One of the worst dining experiences we've had in a really long time!
The restaurant is great. Absolutely amazing food, amazing atmosphere and amazing people!

Well mixed craft cocktails, an always changing selection of amazing options for food, and super friendly people in a laid back cozy atmosphere, make this my favorite place in town. Also check out their sister property, Main + Mountain, across the street.

I recently dined here with my family and unfortunately, my experience was just satisfactory. The ambiance was lackluster, with an uninviting atmosphere that did little to enhance the dining experience. The service was slow, leaving us waiting far too long for our drinks, food, and check. When the martinis we ordered did arrive they were horrible and when we brought it to the server’s attention she rudely attempted to give us a lesson on how martinis are made. The server broke a drink glass on our table and instead of apologizing she laughed.
When the food finally arrived, it was ok. The dishes were a bit under-seasoned, lacking the flavor and freshness one would expect from a place with such high expectations. Additionally, the portions were smaller than anticipated, which did not justify the steep prices.
Overall, our experience did not live up to the restaurant’s reputation and left much to be desired. I hope they can address these issues, as I believe there is potential if they improve their service and food quality. Until then, I’m unlikely to return.

We went to dinner here on a Saturday night and had the best time. Went with no reservations (not the best idea) but they were able to get us seats at the bar with a little wait. The bartenders absolutely made our night!! Super hospitality and friendly. Food was amazing!! Definitely alittle pricey but for the quality and freshness of the food totally worth the trip! The ribs are an absolute MUST!
Very good.
