The Main Dining Room at Trapp Family Lodge

We enjoyed quite a few breakfast buffets and dinners during our week-long stay at the resort. Views outside were stunning morning and evenings. Our wait help was mostly waitresses and exchange students from all over the world and personable. They wore traditional Austrian garb. From host to wait staff. It felt like we were doted on as important guests of the von Trapp family themselves.

The presentation was beautiful, every meal, every day absolutely delicious! You could tell that they used the freshest ingredients and tried and true recipes. Presentation and service was high-end but not high-nose. Truly, a feast for the eyes and palate.

Need reservation. It was way too expensive and not worth it. $45 for hamburger for example.

The best schnitzel I've had outside of Europe! It is almost a week later and I'm still dreaming of it!

I got the French Onion soup as an appetizer which was delicious. The bowl was angled which had me make a little bit of a mess, but I didn't mind. My husband ordered the soup that was on special which was also delicious.

We each ordered the schnitzel for our entree and it did not disappoint. The schnitzel was the perfect thickness and crispy to perfection. The herb spätzle was amazing as well and paired so well with the schnitzel. I love a good cucumber salad and was so excited this came with one - I just wish there was more (mind you, I say that knowing I was stuffed and could barely finish my meal. It was just so good I wanted more!). The red cabbage was delicious as well and not overpowering like it can be. And finally, the lignonberry jam, so delicious! I loved that it was served right on top so I could spread it to enjoy on every bite.

Our son got the kids chicken tenders. They were as good as expected since we were ordering chicken tenders in an Austrian restaurant. We went here for me and my taste buds, not his.

We ended the meal with the Austrian Trio (again, we were stuffed but I can't say no) and it was equally as delicious. I love a good strudel so I was excited to try theirs. It tasted very authentic, not overly sweet. Surprisingly the real star in the trio for me was the Linzertorte (again, still thinking about it!). The trio was perfect for the 3 of us to share considering we were absolutely stuffed. But if we wanted to share with anyone else there wouldn't be enough.

As someone who knows Austrian food very well, I highly recommend. plus the view is gorgeous from up there! I will definitely return one day (hopefully soon).

We had a wonderful experience dinning at the Trapp Family Lodge main dinning room while visiting Stowe during a busy snowy kid's vacation weekend. We had a reservation and were seated right away. Our waiter was great and our drinks and food arrived in a timely manner even though it was very busy when we were there. The atmosphere was relaxing and we enjoyed the live piano music. My husband loved the French onion soup and the garden green salad was also very good. For the entree, we all had the New York sirloin steak, it and the vegetables that came with it were delicious. For desert we had the chocolate flourless cake and cappuccino, both of which were also delicious. I will definitely go back when visiting the area again and would highly recommend them.

Very special night - Brian, our waiter did a great job and made the night perfect. Strongly recommend this experience.

We had a great time with our server, Teras. The restaurant and inn were both absolutely beautiful. For drinks, we got the snuggly snowman which I loved. We also got the pretzel and beet salad for appetizers, both delicious. For entrees, we got the Baked Salmon, Octopus Salad, Vegetable Curry, and Roasted Chicken. I lovedddd the curry. Overall, a great experience.

Arrived on-time and was promptly seated for our 6:15 reservation. Despite a seemingly positive start to our dining experience, things went downhill from there. It took over 30 mins for my wife and I to receive our French onion soup. The portion was quite meager given the price and the broth was rather watery. Entrees took an embarrassingly long time to be served with no acknowledgment or apology provided by the server. My wife’s steak was undercooked and upon pointing it out to the server, we were met with barely a tacit agreement that it was not cooked per her request. Mind you they are charging you $59 for an average cut of meat. I ordered the Wiener schnitzel which filled me up but lacked proper flavoring and the red cabbage was relatively dry and like my pork, lacked any discernible flavor. Given how long it took for entrees to arrive, we skipped dessert. I was personally excited to dine at Von Trapp given its reputation and prior experiences enjoying Austrian cuisine while traveling abroad. While the atmosphere was festive and inviting, the food and service misses left a lot to be desired.

What a delightful experience. We came at night and didn’t get to see the true beauty of the lodge but we are going to go back in the daylight to check it out.

The dining room service was impeccable. Everyone was lovely. I started with the corn chowder and had the pan seared chicken with broccoli and sweet mashed potatoes. It was so YUMMY 😋

Didn’t have room for dessert but it looked SO good!

Finally got to dine here. We arrived at night for dinner so I would still like to visit during the day.
We had a to wait for a table despite arriving on time for our reservation but it was well worth it.
After the generous portions of duck hash and salad for appetizers we chose to share the beef medallions with shitake and crab toppings. Everything we ate was delicious but the steak was perfection. I have been craving it again.
The restaurant was full and server was great.
It was later than our usual dinner reservation so we decline dessert but there is always next time..

please, please save your money — worth it to come up to the lodge for the view, but skip the food. it’s abysmal quality and the service is awful.

We stopped by the famous Trapp Family Lodge on a Friday evening, so, unfortunately, there was little chance of being seated for dinner. We settled for dessert at the bar. The bartender was extremely busy but very friendly. It took a good fifteen minutes to get served as staff became increasingly occupied. Once the food finally did come out, it was amazing. The strudel was likely the best I have ever had. The setting could not have been more suitable - it was as Austrian as you could possibly hope for in Vermont. Highly recommend!

Enjoyed the food. We did the ceaser salad, burgers and fries for dinner and the breakfast buffet the next morning. Service was somewhat slow as it appears they are understaffed but we were overall pleased and would recommend eating in their lodge if you are staying on property.

Worth a visit to say you went. The property is stunning. Reservations a must at least a week in advance. The staff was dressed like Trapp singers. We both got the schnitzel and it was surprisingly lackluster--pre-cooked and reheated. It is the fastest item on their menu. The bread was delicious.

Great food and dining experience! We had the Wienerschnitzel and local draft brewed beer. Fantastic!!
