I was given the recommendation to come here and our expectations were exceeded! We were pleasantly surprised there was outdoor seating so our dog was allowed to join! Morgan provided the friendliest atmosphere and the best service. Bruce cooked such amazing meals, we finished everything! I wish I caught the bartenders name because he was exceptional as well!
Thank you for a great night out!

I always enjoy eating here. We have come for Valentine's day many times over the years and have always enjoyed getting to taste so many unique dishes. Everyone has always been nice and they are able to handle my food allergy well. The atmosphere is great too.

Outstanding service by Winston! He made our night with his caring, sweet disposition. We came for our 20th anniversary celebration and the meal was very very good. You can tell that the chef knows what the heck he’s doing with the combination of flavors in the dishes and also desserts! The man behind the bar was super friendly. There was an overall feeling of being very well cared for by the staff! (The only reason I’m giving it four stars is because the fabrics in the booths were very stained and soiled & the windows needed attention.) We would definitely eat here again!
What. A. Gem. I'm happy to say I've found my favorite restaurant in the Upper Valley, in Norwich. Chef Bruce is charming, and his crew Johnny and Morgan took great care of us. Everything from the drinks to dessert are well inspired, flavorful, and mouth watering presentation. I'm so impressed. I had a Maitaki mushroom steak - just WoW. Call for you reservation and go visit!

Bruce MacLeod runs perhaps the best Fine Dining restaurant in the Upp Valley. His preparations are fresh, inventive, and classic. The dining rooms bring an air of Victorian dining rooms and are comfortable and relaxing. We come there from the Seacoast all the time. Worth the trip!
Vegetarian options: Several vegetarian options, posts in appetizers and entrées.
Parking: Limited number of spots but have never been without a space

Great menu, rich and unusual flavors, delicious food, exceptional deserts - one of the best dining experiences in central Vermont.
The steak was cold and tough. The mussels were tasteless. All of our meals were cold,possibly because they were short staffed. The waitress tried hard but we won't be back.

Fine dining with reasonable prices. Talented chef Bruce. Owner operated. Great location.
I had the Hanger Steak au poivre and for dessert the panacotta…….both were fantastic. It is a very lovely restaurant but I think they could benefit if the music was more jazz and less 80’s bad dance music.
We enjoyed a delightful dinner with perfect service. Our dietary preferences are opposite—my friend is classic “meat and potatoes,” while I am vegetarian—but we found a variety of great options. Each dish was wonderfully executed, through to the homemade ice cream. The host, bartender, and waitress were each friendly and attentive. A flawless evening. Thank you.
