We’ve ordered from this restaurant several times in the past and the food had always been good, but recently we had an entirely different experience.One of the items we ordered was a gluten-free cheese flatbread and when we brought the order home, and opened the box, we were disgusted. The flatbread was so incredibly burnt that it appeared inedible and frankly appalling, I’ve attached a photo of the pizza.Given the price of the menu items I would assume there is a high expectation of quality, and this was far from the quality we were personally expecting. Not sure we’ll be ordering from, or recommending this restaurant in the future.

Try the Not your Mama 'meatloaf! Came with selection of 2 sides, so it was delicious roasted brussel sprouts and salad for me. Sharing the best maple crème brûlée added a layer of greatness.If one is open to drinks while waiting and inclined to Maker's Mark, then the Maple Thyme would be a good choice.Dietary restrictions: Plenty of GF options.

We had dinner the evening of the eclipse and it was great! The service was thoughtful, prompt, friendly and gave us helpful suggestions. The food was freshly and expertly prepared. We felt lucky to find it during our trip. A bright spot in northern Vermont compared to other options.

We had a party of five go on the day of the eclipse right before closing. The food was amazing and they were very friendly considering that they had an extremely busy day. I will be returning here on a frequent basis!

Only wish that service and delivery of food was better. Came with high hopes having read reviews. Had cocktails which were fine. Ordered mussels as appetizer. They were terrific and sauce they were in was great. Ordered for meals mushroom risotto and flank steak with sides. Ordered a flight of beer when made the order for apps and dinner. After taking our apps order did not see our waitress until we were done with meal. Got appetizer and had to flag down another waitress to get beer. Halfway done with appetizer when main course came out from a different server. Both the risotto and steak cold and just decided to take it to go and reheat it later. Just ruined the dining experience. Told our waitress who answered “ understood”. Had a hard time with lack of sincerity and professionalism.

Went here today they have great appetizers but once we got the steak and the mushroom risotto it was not so good. Server didn’t check on how we where liking the food so it was late to ask for something else. Mother in law got a mushroom risotto I also got a risotto side for the steak we only had a couple bites. It would have been nice if the server would have asked if everything was ok since she saw the plates where full. The steak is $36 pretty fatty not a lot of meat. Husband ate it I had some of his carbonara. In the end we left we didn’t take any leftovers home maybe bad day to get a steak and risotto since it seems like they have fresh quality products. Wished the server had asked us why we didn’t eat the risotto side and meal also if we liked the steak since we left a lot of fatty pieces on the plate.

Love the food here, from the harissa wings to the flatbread. Takeout is always ready on time, and the waitstaff is attentive and knowledgeable when eating in. You can't go wrong with the Buratta or VT Piggy flatbread.

Tasty steaks, ribs, cocktails, pizza, and chicken wings.
OMG this place has AWESOME food. The atmosphere is pleasant, but the servers were too busy, our server was pleasant and helpful but a little slow due to under staffing.

We were a large party with reservations (they knew we were coming) They were short staffed but I've also been in the restaurant business (10 years- all aspects) waited 40 minutes for food and then only 1/3 of it came out. Took another 20 minutes for everyone to get their orders. Never had this happen before and we have had large family dinners every year for 20 years. No supervisor or manager ever came to apologize. On the positive, the food and server were great. Overall extreme lack of supervision.

My wife and I were impressed when we first got there. The staff was very helpful and polite. Place clean. I ordered full rack of ribs, I forget the price, I believe it was over $30.When they came they weren't cooks good, very under cooked we couldn't get the meat off the bone. Definitely not fall off the bone ribs. I told the waitress she said oh, and walked away. She never came back until we eaten what we could. When I paid the bill, over $80. I told her we weren't happy with the ribs, very under cooked. She said that happens sometimes when they don't sell many. I told her then you should serve them when they are under cooked. She's said oh well and that was it. No offer to make it right.

A delightful surprise in st. Albans! Interesting menu that was well done, some gluten free options which I appreciated. I got the brisket Benedict and substituted their gluten free corn bread muffin and it was very good. My family were impressed by the bourbon pancakes as wellDietary restrictions: Gluten free options, pretty ample street parking
