I've only stopped in once, to pick up an order just before closing on a Friday night, and immediately liked this restaurant. First off, because they accepted my phone order 15 minutes before closing and second, because the hostess/waitress Natalie impressed me with her ability to manage my order as well as working the rest of the tables. She had the type of friendly attitude that made you want to sit at a table even though your food was already bagged up. I got an awesome grilled chicken sandwich and my girlfriend very much liked her caesar salad. It came with grated parmesan crumbles and she would have preferred shaved or grated strips of cheese but cheese IS her favorite food so she takes it seriously. Planning to go back for table service in the coming months and I would recommend it based on the quality of the food.

Maple creemee tastes fake. We live in VT, why are they using fake maple while charging a premium price. Has anyone else noticed this or am I crazy??

Rude staff, asked for my papers, told my family we needed to sit outside if we didn't show our vaccine paperwork... it was snowing out. Don't care who owns this place, I would never go back again.

What is it with Richmond? Coming from Brooklyn, I thought I knew about great food packed in a small area, but this quarter mile of road continues to surprise.

The mark of a great restaurant is that you leave mourning the food you didn’t get to eat. I am thinking about the charred asparagus and the mushroom toast we didn’t order, just as I’m marveling over the hamachi crudo, the pea tendrils and the cool ginger balanced beautifully with the heat of the chili oil, and the broccolini with romanesco that we did. We had our two kids with us, and even their fries were perfect - a nice chunk of potato with a loud, satisfying crunch.

One of the most unexpected and satisfying meals I’ve had in a long time.

Immaculate facilities & dining room plus great service. Asian inspired cocktails and dinner entrees featuring fresh VT produce. I had the pork belly sandwich with slaw- so delicious!

Root beer flavor soft serve, need I say anymore. Soft serve also has a nice consistency and texture.
