Doc Ponds is one of my favorites. I don’t get to eat here often, but when I do I am always stoked. Got the calamari and the ribeye, and both were perfect. The tedeschi trucks record was perfect for dining, I can’t wait for next time.

I thought the food was great. The servers seemed either unhappy or uninterested. Seemed kind of overrated compared to what I read online.

We didn’t get the opportunity to dine here but was frustrated by the service. Mainly posting this review to share that the outdoor space is not dog friendly.We were looking for a heated patio to dine with our dog in winter. We’d been recommended Doc Ponds. We wanted to check before walking up. However we called several times over a 15 minutes period to ask about outdoor availability and dog friendliness to no answer.We decided to walk in and see. The hostess was very rude when we asked about dog friendliness (they are NOT dog friendly inside or out). Further, despite a lot of availability at the restaurant, take out was unavailable due to capacity. So we went elsewhere.We heard such good things about this place but we were put off by the rudeness. Think we’ll skip it for this trip!

Extremely friendly staff, seemed like they all love working here. We had a great meal seated at the bar. Unique and delicious cocktails. It’s a smallish and very popular restaurant, so try to get on the list early or go later when most of the families have cleared out.

Get there at 5 on a Saturday and there is no wait. Get there at 6 and it's a 45 minute wait.I have had hundreds of Caesar salads. This one, with breadcrumbs(!) and a boiled egg, and added anchovies, was exceptional. The cheddar fritters were so good I had a second portion. And what a great pie! Orange and chocolate ganache if you can believe it.

In a word...perfect. This place is PERFECT in every way. A for instance....typically a smash burger is exactly that...some ape jumps up and down on an unsuspecting meat patty. Destroying it and burning it to a dead crispy version of its former glory.....not these guys....smashed? yes, crispy? Yes, delicious pink and juicy inside? YES!!!!!! GOD BLESS THIS WHOLE RESTAURANT. also all our drinks were perfect and the beer list is exactly what you want to see after a long day on the slopes. I can't sing enough praises...10 out 10 squared multiplied by infinity.

I had a cheese burger so it's tough to rate the overall food. The CB was delicious and the atmosphere was comfortable.

Great comfort food, friendly service and cool vibes. Loved by locals. It's a great after ski place though it's popular so there may be a wait.
