The swordfish and duck were scrumptious and showed the chef's top-notched skills. OK, it was pricey, but was a superb blend of New England cuisine and high-end chef's creativity. I would say this is the top professional chef restaurant in the area. Worth the price on special occasions for sure. The service was friendly and excellent as well. I would, however, rate the ambiance as average. They did have a fresh flower on the table and a candle; but, they should up the decor maybe with a New England theme, adding some pictures on the bare walls. I would definitely go back!

In the mean time, we had gotten some beer and played cornhole. After we were seated, we managed to order food. It did take a while to get to us but they all tasted fine. Nothing amazing but not bad.

It's worth it when you can get a seat and eat there. Let me give you the reasons why I knocked it down to 4 stars: 1. Getting a table for dinner here can be difficult especially during the weekend. Yes, even when it's below freezing point. They are that popular and not being able to make a reservation doesn't help. 2. The only dish I found out off many occasions and many items is the sausages. It's a bit more grainy in texture that as off putting for me. Because it's grainy, I can imagine that this was made by hand instead of mass produced.

Ruby welcomed us to the tasting room and patiently poured and explored with us the several kinds we were considering. It was a lot of fun, an experience we highly recommend as a part of wedding preparations. We left with a case of excellent bottles of reds, whites, and cider that we are excited to share with our guests.

Every day should be this good. Our day at the Shelburne Vineyard far exceeded all our expectations…read more We didn't want to leave. We were there on a Sunday, a beautiful spring day - the sun shining and the small group of visitors kept growing as the afternoon progressed. Unknown to us, the Vineyard had a busy agenda planned, but first they steered us to a grassy area away from their main parking area to park for the night. We went inside to the cool and comfortable wine tasting room and were greeted by a very friendly engaging staff. Ruby offered us a sample and ran through their day's agenda. A talented group of musicians were setting up their equipment on the shaded patio outside while guests were spreading blankets on the lawn or setting up a picnic on one of the several available tables. We were meeting old friends there and hoped we could find a seat. The band played much of the music that I grew up on (Fleetwood Mac, Neil Young, the Dead, and lots more.) We picked out a few bottles to put in the frig in our rig ... then went back inside. Our friends (that live nearby in Vermont) joined us first inside where we shared a charcuterie board. We later moved to our Class B with them and enjoyed our little picnic, accompanied by their delicious wines. Then late in the afternoon, we went back inside because a jazz ensemble was to perform. The sun was still shining and everyone there was feeling the vibes. We met the owner who had a staff that he should be very proud of - they were very gracious to all the guests that came through. Be sure and stay here if it's in your path.

Great place for individual patrons and families…read more The "30 beers" associated with this place seem to be a blend of draft and packaged beer.

Great vibes and food!

I ordered the platter with biscuits and gravy, eggs and potatoes. I asked them to hold the toast that comes with platter. I'm not certain why they offer toast with biscuits and gravy. It seems like a lot of bread. My husband ordered the chicken fried steak. We enjoyed our meals but thought it wasn't a must go to place. If you are in the area and want a country breakfast Rosie's is an option to consider.

Well, this is easy. It was a snowy Saturday on a dirt road…read moreapproaching the farm, brewery, shop and beer. There were 20 people in the draft room. About what I thought there would be. This brewery was known to be superior 8 or so years ago. Us hop heads in CT dreamed about it but never tasted. We were curious, their location was intriguing. It also made us skeptical. So the snow is falling, it's approaching 4pm, the drive brings you up a hill on the dirt road. Add beer to the uncertainty of the moment, it was perfect for anxiety, excitement and first tastes. Draft one was a nitro stout. Yeah, like Guinness but... UNBELIEVABLE. Just that good. Then an IPA close to their origin. Simple. Again, UNBELIEVABLE. Easy sell, I bought each 4 pack available. Asked for a restaurant in Montpelier. The Three Penny Taproom was... UNBELIEVABLE. (Chickpeas, Chicken Nuggs and Hill Farmstead all over the place.) Of course the brewery guys recommended it, and the gas station at Willey's in Greensboro. So we survived the "brief flurry", and a Taproom extraordinaire. The beer is ready for a Connecticut Christmas and will be compared to the beer from Burlington, Stowe and Deerfield. All great brews. The anticipation of enjoying Hill Farmstead beer was just as exciting as the trip and first taste. So, If you need a trip, find them. No complaining about the distance and remoteness, please. It's where they are. Yeah, you can find the beer in other places in state. I look forward to getting it at those spots. I look forward to seeing the brewery in the summer!
