“Also my second time here. The flights of cider are always a good way to wash down your food, very light and tasted great. This time I had a grilled cheese with ham and tomato. This may sound simple but it was incredibly flavorful and I could have easily split it as it was a big sandwich. The cheese was very creamy. My friends also had the burger and Mac and cheese. Everything was fresh, delicious and homemade. The prices are more than fair especially for the quality. The service was more than friendly and obliging. Love the atmosphere. Very comfortable and the view is outstanding. Beautiful mountains!“

“Our meal was a highlight of our visit to Stowe and our entire trip to New England! We had the Pan Seared Cod dish and it was superb! The entire do I g experience was amazing and our server was wonderful!! I highly recommend Whip! Tim“

“One of the best meals we had while visiting VT was at the Reservoir. OMG!! The poutine appetizer was absolutely unbelievable. It was cheesy and bacony goodness. We wanted to lick the plate at the end. My smash burger was one of the best burgers that I’ve ever had. Loved it so much! It was so juicy and delicious. The salad was a good side dish. My husband opted for a plain chicken sandwich instead of the hot chicken. Hot chicken would have had more flavor. My cousin loved his cheesesteak. He said it was one of the best cheesesteaks that he’s ever had. It was super juicy and delectable. My other cousin loved her mahi mahi sandwich. She wanted something different and loved it. Our waiter was very attentive, very personable and gave great food recommendations. He deserves a raise. The Reservoir is a must visit when in Waterbury. Everyone loved the food and the service. Wish it was closer. I’d be there all the time. We’ll be dreaming about it until our next trip.“

“You made our night @Backyard! It was getting late and we had tried several other restaurants that turned us away due to super long waitlists. We should have just started here. The local burger was beyond epic and pork tots the icing on the cake. We appreciate you and making our rough night one of the best of our vacation.“

“Amazing place really. I wasn’t expecting a ski mountain to have such an amazing restaurant! The James Moore tavern is fantastic. I ordered the Smashburger with fries and some unique morsels known as duck rangoons. The burger had a crispy patty that was seasoned perfectly, as well as onion jam, a brioche bun, and garlic aioli. The fries were crisp and flavorful and the duck rangoons were fantastically unique and delicious. Sadly they were out of their butter cake but the peanut butter pie was delicious. Probably the best ski food I’ve ever tried!“

Rochelle is an absolute dream of a person and we're always so grateful for how kind she is to our son that is autistic. She goes out of her way to make us feel seen and heard and is so accommodating with him. It's a beautiful, beautiful thing to see and she is one of those unicorns.“
