The food was excellent. 3 of us chose steak and eggs. The steak was easily the start of the meal. So delicious I wished I ordered it. The home fries were also amazing. I had the Starry breakfast. Basically it was bacon and eggs. Over medium eggs were perfect. Bacon was good not great. My son ordered French toast and it was super sweet but delicious. The orange cream on it was especially good. Definitely recommend brunch here.

I was treated to dinner here. This, the Starry Night Cafe', is not the sort of place I would…read morepatronize and I'm still asking myself if I really dined here. It's that a friend treated me here because I did all the driving in and around the Green Mountains of Vermont to look at the scenery. Starry Night Cafe' is about fine dining. It's also about "new" cuisine, so that means creative culinary takes on what could be ordinary dishes. Sometimes I'll buy into the concept of "new" and sometimes I won't. Either way, the food here is not meant to be just like it is at all those other restaurants! The two chosen starters were a Caesar-like salad and a cheese plate. I liked my salad, but felt the cheese plate didn't have much to it, although the cheese was of high quality and good. The entrees selected were the mafaldine pasta and the salmon. My friend thought the salmon was good, and I thought my pasta was very good. Portions were about right for fine dining and, thankfully, not abysmally small. The mafaldine's presentation looked green as if it the sauce might be pesto, but it is not. It's a spinach pasta. Also, note that these are pronounced "mah-fahl-deen-eh" and not "mah-fahl-deen." A dessert was ordered and it featured berries and cream. I tried a little bit of it and it was delicious. The bread that arrived at the beginning of the meal was excellent. The serving staff seemed excited about the vaudouvan butter. This name doesn't mean anything to me. Should it? The menu mentioned that the butter was flavored with curry. I hesitated and was told that it was a French curry. I wondered how that might be different. Still, no matter how much or how little you use of it, the aftertaste lingers for too long. I did not like this nifty butter. Starry Night Cafe' looks inconspicuous from the parking lot. Once inside, there are several nice rooms in which to eat and you initially see a tastefully appointed bar. Each of the dining spaces has a slightly different personality. There are even outdoor spaces flanked by a large pond that would have worked well if it wasn't as humid as it was that day. Even the restrooms are decked out, right down to what might be oil paintings by local artists ... and the restrooms even smell good! The name of the restaurant does indeed refer to the work of Vincent Van Gogh. The service is excellent. They both explain the dishes you inquire about and answer other questions you might have. Being my usual self, I was observing and making assessments of the situation, such as the service and its style. It was funny in that it tried to be informal and even a little folksy, given that it's Vermont, when it is in fact fine dining. In reality, the real vibe was that the interaction was more formal than in many nicer restaurants, whether rural or urban. With that said, Starry Night is an expensive restaurant. I asked my friend about all the 5 star ratings. My friend said that, for Vermont, it is probably a 5 star event, but if it was in New York City and its environs, it would most likely fetch 4 stars. I'll go with that logic. The entree and the dessert were very tasty, but I did not like there being a polarizing spice in the butter, nor the small portion of the (other person's) cheese plate. I did appreciate the curated atmosphere and the professional service. Starry Night Cafe' made for a very interesting experience. I chose things from the menu that worked for me. I'm glad that I was taken here to eat, and I'm (humorously) stressing the words "taken here."

What a gorgeous, spacious, comfortable abd welcoming atmosphere and interior aesthetics. Our server was wonderfully attentive, efficient, amiable and professional. Such a lovely and noticeable difference from most other places. Only because he was simply top-notch without being stuffy. Wish I could recall his name. Since it was our first time here, we decided to go with its Prix Fixe menu at a fantastic price point. It's during a very specific time period of the weekday early evening so don't be late if you want to go. We noticed the size portion are the same and the offerings (though pared down from the regular menu) were no different at all. Highly popular are the Australian Beef Wagu tenderloin cut - my husband and adult daughter blissfully enjoyed it. I opted for the Meatloaf Gorgonzola Wellington. While delicious, I found the scratch-made gravy a bit heavy handed with the seasoning. Gorgonzola chunks were nominal in my order. The spinach, while fresh and delicious needed less seasoning and a fresh squeeze of lemon juice for some acid to balance out the array of rich flavors. Cesar salad starter was insipid, not enough of the ubiquitous dressing flavor and oddly oily. Perhaps the dressing wasn't emulsified enough before dressing the greens? Maple brûlée is a must for desert - highly recommend but there are several excellent and exciting options on the desert menu, which is above the usual offerings elsewhere. My personal preferences, but these are my comments. Overall, we enjoyed our dinner and all else.

But it's more than just a restaurant, it's a relaxed bar that's both modern and rustic. My wife and I visited for the first time tonight for dinner. We arrived to find a meticulously-clean establishment finished in a very comfortable wood theme, like a cabin. We were greeted by the owner and took a table rather than sitting at the bar. The bar was quite crowded and there were a couple other tables occupied, but the noise level wasn't bad. There are TVs visible from almost any angle for sports fans. Bucky's has a full bar and and a solid beer selection that's sure to please anyone. I was impressed that there are some very high-quality selections available at the bar, including Maker's Mark. Your average small town bar often doesn't have that. The menu is surprisingly extensive and offers a wide variety of items. You'll find everything from basic pub fare to exotic chimichangas. Yes, there is such thing as a steak and cheese chimi! I can't wait to try that next time. There's a good amount of appetizers as well. The potato skins with bacon were among the best I've had-- go just for those if you aren't too hungry! For dinner we had a blue cheese burger and fish & chips. The burger was charbroiled greatness topped with unusually good blue cheese. Fries are typical shoestring type and are good but nothing special. The fried fish was a good portion and made just right. It didn't seem frozen or old and was perfectly flaky and tasty. The dessert menu looked great but we were stuffed by then. I remember an Italian lemon cake type offering, which I can't wait to try next time. The owners and waitstaff were very attentive to our needs and stopped by a couple times. The chef came out and spoke as well. There's a very familiar feeling and friendly vibe happening. Bucky's rocks, you need to go there, that's all I can say!

So when I say that Stone's Throw just may be THE best pizza...well, that really says a lot. We ordered online & scheduled pickup for right at opening (4pm). Our 2 small build your own pizzas were deliciously hot & ready, right on time: Italian Sausage, Pepperoni, Basil, red sauce, mozzarella, regular gluten crust: this crust! Impossibly chewy, AND impossibly light & crispy. Great (surely house made) sausage, crispy-edged pepperoni, & red sauce. A repeat for sure! That regular gluten crust is so good - but our 2nd pizza pushed them into epic territory imo: Half: pork belly, dried cherries, vegan white sauce, vegan mozzarella, gluten free crust: chewy & crispy crust! Creamy, savory, cashew-based white sauce, & house made mozzarella! The pork belly was just enough smokiness to be delicious w/the dried cherries but not overpower. This was great pizza. Half: braised short rib, leek, preseved lemons, that delish vegan white sauce & house made vegan mozzarella, on gluten free crust: if you see it on any menu, you should honestly put preserved lemons on anything you can. Let's all go home & make them immediately. This was great pizza! Only those with dietary restrictions will fully appreciate the beauty of these gluten free crust & vegan cheese & sauce options, as well as their vegan sausage topping. For everyone else, fyi - good regular cheese is EASY to offer; great house made vegan cheese and white sauce, however, is NOT EASY and UNCOMMON. And a great gluten free crust is rare too. The fact that a true gourmand can be fully satisfied here, even with food restrictions, is a beautiful thing. I don't know what the Fairfax or Richmond locations offer, but this Charlotte location also has an impressive selection of wine, beer, cider, & sodas, plus cannolis & mousse. That's right - really something for everyone!
