“Fantastic venue for a wedding. Our daughter’s wedding went off perfectly. Thank you to Travis and the team.”

“Great place! Away from the bustle of everything else.”

“Very nice and quaint place. Would definitely recommend!!!”

“We had a fantastic time at Apple Core! So fantastic that we came two days in a row. Day 1, we enjoyed cider flights in the comfy cidery. Day 2, we had lunch in the cafe and everything was DELICIOUS! thank you for a great time!”

“Perrin did a fantastic job! We had a cupcake tower with vanilla and lemon cupcakes and a maple cheesecake as the topper. We also did bite size maple cheesecakes to pass out in addition to the cupcakes. Our guests loved the desserts, we got so many compliments. All this yumminess plus it was beautiful, we went with a cherry blossom theme. We were very happy with how it turned out.”

“We had a great casual family dinner here. Excellent tasty vegetarian fare. Atmosphere is low key but cozy. Takeout definitely an option.”

“What a beautiful spot. Had a delicious mulled cider with rum and a sugar cinnamon rim. French onion soup was delectable!! My daughter absolutely loved the mac & cheese!”

“I love this cafe. It's not a sit-down place as most of the business model is roasting, but the coffee is top-tier and the staff are always so friendly. I stop every time I'm in the area”

“We appreciated that the team went out of their way to serve us even though we got in a little late (at 8:40, they close at 9). They didn’t try to shove us out the door, which was really generous.Food is great, as always.”

“We were lucky enough to get a seat at the bar on a busy night and were very impressed with the food and service. The bartender (can’t recall her name but she was a redhead) was amazing- super fast, efficient and friendly. We thought the food was great. Would definitely recommend”

“We’ve just had a fantastic breakfast here. The waitress was great too! We had to try everything we had never heard of!! The biscuit with the gravy was so good. Home fries were great too. Not so sure about the grit cake. And the pancakes were divine! We won’t be eating again today!!”

“After travelling for two weeks up the coast from DC and having had eaten everything from fast food to five star I was not looking good forward to another “pub” meal. Boy was I wrong.As a vegetarian I was amazed to see four vegetarian options as mains (many more as shared plates) that did not include fish! Such a unique menu with amazing flavours that all work so well together.I won’t stop thinking about this dinner for awhile and I would highly recommend!”

“10/10We had the Cottage Club and Freddie’s Chute. Both were fantastic. Bartenders were friendly and working nonstop to make these excellent drinks. Cool vibes. Definitely come here if you’re thinking about it”

“I wish I never went here because now I have to go my entire life knowing a place this amazing exists and it’s not available to me everyday. We got ice coffees, breakfast sandwiches, chocolate chip muffins, and cinnamon rolls, and each of those items were respectively the best I’ve ever had. The pure euphoria I felt while eating their cinnamon rolls can not matched by any drug in world. I would recommend this to anyone within 10,000 miles of Stowe!”

“Wilaiwans is one of the best restaurants I’ve ever eaten at! The food is consistently amazing - rich, complex flavors, fresh healthy ingredients, somehow combining a heartiness with a lightness in one close to perfect culinary package. It’s worth a trip to Montpelier for lunch on a weekday to try a dish here. It is pretty spicy but never so much (for my taste) that the spice overwhelms the flavors. Just the right amount of spice in my book but for those who shy away from spicy food, this is probably not the place for you.”

“Fabulous find. Stopped for breakfast on, the way to watch my son race⛷️I had the blue berry, Spinich & Brie toasted sandwich. It was so delicious, we stopped on the way back for lunch. I had the same thing! Everything was fresh and delicious. Spent time looking at all the treasures & handcrafted items for sale.”

“We stopped in for dinner during our trip to Stowe. The food was really good. Our waitress forgot our fries and the kitchen had closed, so that was a bummer. She did compensate us though and that was nice. Overall, it’s worth the wait if you can’t get a reservation.”

“Pairing with The Alchemist is a great idea… always some good drinks flowing and good music playing. I’ve eaten multiple times and loved everything I’ve had. The plantain buns are unexpected, but a great touch. I don’t have any food pictures (because I can never wait long enough before digging in). Warren does such a good job pairing familiar flavors and then adding unexpected twists. Will definitely be back for more.”

“Great food and excellent service by Desiree!”

“We all agreed tonight that that we had a truly “world class” dining experience in central Vermont. The food was flavorful, exquisite and creatively prepared. The service the entire evening was impeccable. We loved our dining experience and we’ll be back!”

“So great to have a place downtown to grab a drink and unwind after work. Great beer list, full bar and Amanda is a blast !”

“5 stars for sure!!! We come into Stowe twice a year and always dine at Salute. We’ve never been disappointed. Mason is always accommodating to find seating for us as close as possible to our desired time. Jen is a wonderful server and we’re usually fortunate to get her. Then there’s the food. Wow! Best meatballs and mozzarella apps ever and from the linguini pomodoro to the chicken or veal marsala to the vodka rigatoni and saltimboca; all delicious. We love Stowe but dining at Salute is always the icing the cake!”

“Woot! So good! The beer and food are top notch!”

“The best restaurant I have ever been to. the parking was adequate, no waiting with the reservation, service was excellent, food was off the chart, and the atmosphere was absolutely ideal. 5/5”

“Fantastic baked goods. Woodland Swirl is an amazing blend of morning bun and cinnamon roll. Breakfast sandwiches are spectacular. And my favorite cold brew in town.”

“Delicious food, made with fresh ingredients. The fact my cousin is the owner doesn't change my review.”

“Came here after viewing the eclipse and sat at the bar. Staff were super friendly. The kitchen was understandably backed up from the post eclipse dinner rush, but they made sure we had drinks and let us know things were a little delayed (it didn't actually feel like a wait because the atmosphere was good and we had drinks).”

“Love Bent Nail, music is always fun . I've never eaten there so I can't speak to the food. Last night the bar tender clearly wasnt paying any attention to who was waiting for drinks and when they arrived. It took her over 15 minutes to finally acknowledge me. Disappointed as usually thos hasn't been my experience.”

“After working here- I wouldn't recommend. First of all, employees don't recieve the credit card tips after being promised tips. Second of all, nothing is made in house except for the guacamole and pico. Not authentic mexican food of any sort. Canned enchilada sauce. Stuffed Polblano peppers come in a plastic bag. The owners have their own sauce they ask for on enchiladas. It tastes much better than what they serve the public. The owners Lu and David are dirty and steal tips from their employees who are Lu's own "people". Not to mention the place is far from up to health code!”
