Great Service and food. Had the Crispy Brussels and 12oz NY Strip steak, both were so good the steak was butter soft and cooked to perfection. Would highly recommend.
Nice, clean and friendly employees. You cant beat the prices!!! Make sure you try the brownie 😋 sundae dessert!!!!

What a horrible experience! We have had a home on Stratton Mountain for 30 years. We took house guests to Ravens Den- not having been before- wanted to try something different.
When we walked in for our 6:45PM reservation, it was not particularly busy- perhaps 5 tables occupied ( one with about a dozen folks).
The hostess mentioned that there were only 2 servers that evening- one was doubling as a bartender). I asked if this would result in slow service. She assured me that it would not. Boy was that a misrepresentation!
We waited for 1 hour and 15 minutes for our entrees!
One of us had fish- it was terribly overcooked and barely edible. My wife had chicken piccata- it was terrible ( you couldn’t possibly identify as such). I had weinerschnitzel- again barely edible. The 4th in our group had some awful looking beef dish.
We couldn’t wait to get the check to leave- I should say run. I would suggest that if for some reason you had any reason to go to this restaurant, be prepared for a very disappointing experience
The prime rib is exquisite, the Alfredo is pretty good, and they have good mints.

Cozy vibe, good food, excellent, friendly service. I had the green curry with chicken special, and it was so flavorful, a big portion, and much better than other curries I’ve had in Manchester. Sean was especially awesome; delicious cocktails!
Definitely highly recommend this place for a night out!

I am not one to ever write these types of reviews, however, I felt the need to with this establishment. I ate there in 2018, and my wife and I ate there in 2019, and we were really excited to go back. My wife and I are visiting Vermont this week, and every other time we were there the food was outstanding. I am not trying to be mean, just honest. The food was the worst I have ever gotten in a restaurant. The loaded skins for an appetizer were bad, too much potato and no flavor. My wife said her salad was excellent. We both ordered the Filet Mignon, and it was absolutely horrible. It was dry and had no flavor, and the potatoes that came with it had an odd taste that neither one of us liked. Our server never asked if there was anything he could get us, and I had to flag him down to get more water. He brought us a bread basket with one pad of butter in it, although he did bring more when I asked. He brought one plate for the potato skins when there are two of us. Not once did anyone ask how everything was, which you think would have generated some questions since we really did not eat the skins, and we didn’t eat our steaks or potatoes. I asked for the bill and our waiter said have a nice evening. My wife had read reviews prior to us coming and they were not good and she did not say anything to me because she didn’t want me to know that going in. Lesson learned. We do plan on coming back to Vermont, however, do not plan to ever dine at the Raven’s Den in the future.

Food was delicious and service phenomenal. Service outstanding. Ask for shawn at the bar. Without Shawn there is no food 😉
Food was FABULOUS. Had the ribeye and it was cooked perfectly. Server was warm and great company.

Had a great experience. Came up for a long weekend with friends and this was the best restaurant we visited by a long shot. Service was great and the aged beef was something to write home about.
Exceptional food and service.
Our family had a fantastic meal at Raven’s Den. The friendly hostess greeted us warmly, and our 15-minute wait was right on time. The menu offered something for everyone—kids’ steak, great cocktails, and a solid beer list. Though they were out of prime rib, we opted for the wiener schnitzel and ribeye, both of which were excellent.
A standout perk was the family-style salad served with every entrée, including the kids’ meal—a great value that saved us from ordering extra starters. Adding to the experience, mellow ’80s hits played throughout the dining room, with a few tables even singing along.
Great food, great atmosphere—highly recommend! We’ll definitely be back.
Excellent wings, house salad and breadsticks. The prime rib was ordered MR and was overcooked and tough for $46. The beef stroganoff was bland and would have been done better with more flavor and thicker/nicer pasta than fettuccine. Would give it another try as the service was excellent and food had potential.
Great atmosphere, and the staff was very friendly and attentive. Food was very good
