It was a gorgeous day and we were able to sit outside, which I really enjoyed. They were umbrellas above us, which were much needed when it started to drizzle! I enjoyed the waiter, although my wife did not. He talked a lot and everything I asked him was his favorite. It didn't seem genuine. Especially when the table sat down next to us and everything they wanted or was his favorite too. We were disappointed that the one thing we wanted on the menu was not available for food. They're mocktails were a normal price and their cocktails were a little pricey, but well worth it for the craft that they were doing. I enjoyed both of the cocktails that I had, although was disappointed that they didn't have the monkey brains cocktail that I wanted anymore. Overall, it was a cute place and I'd probably go back to have a cocktail.

We were a few mins behind getting into a line in a small vestibule of other people who had reservations at the very same time. We were a bit stressed because they 'give away' your table after 15 mins of the reservation time. They seem to have a system of an employee bussing tables & filling water glasses. Then the server comes over for a total of 2 to 3 times to take the order, quickly ask how everything is then disappear for far too long to deliver the check. The food/beverages are served by another server or waitstaff as quickly as possible before you can ask for something else. It feels like a robotic set of motions, leaving you to believe you are a number. It is terribly expensive, I will admit this. However, my husband really loved his burger & the chicken salad (bountiful in the amount that it spilled out of the bun) was so good I want to make it myself. Their fries are perfectly seasoned. The Caesar salad was a bit 'out of the box' & had capers intermixed - gave a great amount of tang. I think aside from the anxiety / overwhelming process to check in for a reservation, it's an "OK" experience at the top of Mount Mansfield.

We dropped by here for dinner. The INN is really gorgeous, and the restaurant was smaller than…read moreexpected and intimate. We ordered the antelope Swedish balls, French onion soup, and firecracker beef. Most of the food wasn't great - the antelope Swedish meatballs were the best of the 3. The French onion soup had too much thyme and a very watery broth. The firecracker beef was offensive!! It has a warning that it's very spicy (which is true), but it was a really strange dish! I expected an Asian inspired spicy beef dish over rice, but we got a hot sauce drenched rice bowl. Allegedly there was beef in it, but there was really no texture or flavor other than hot sauce! To clarify to the owner comment - we did tell our server we didn't like it, and that it was not due to the spice - it was due to the gross flavor. She simply said "oh I haven't heard that one" and did not offer to take it off the bill or replace it. Now the drinks and desserts were fantastic! We loved our seasonal cocktails, and we ordered two desserts and polished them off. The maple chomeur was drenched in sauce and so good - we actually poured the remaining sauce over our apple warm too! I loved the fresh apples in the tart since there was some texture. Service was also very good from the front desk to our server.

Overall, it offered a unique experience, though not without a few drawbacks. To start, the appetizers were fantastic. We shared the beef tartare, mussels, and crab rangoon. The beef tartare stood out for its flavor, though the accompanying baguette was slightly stale. Despite that, the appetizers were the highlight of the meal. For soup, we sampled the French onion, which was met with mixed reviews--decent, but not particularly memorable. The main courses included kangaroo, venison, fish and chips, and duck. While the chef's talent for creating flavorful dishes was evident, all the meats were unfortunately overcooked. This may have been due to the challenge of preparing multiple meals at once, as we were informed that there was only one chef in the kitchen. The restaurant itself boasts a charming and homey ambiance that enhances the dining experience. Service was friendly and accommodating, with no issues on that front. A standout feature of the menu was the inclusion of kangaroo--a rare find, especially in Vermont. While it's worth trying for the novelty, be prepared for its distinctively high iron content, which imparts a metallic flavor that may not appeal to everyone. In conclusion, this restaurant offers a unique and enjoyable experience despite a few missteps. The friendly service and cozy atmosphere make it a worthwhile stop for those visiting the Jay area. Just keep in mind that the kitchen's limitations may impact larger parties or more complex orders. If you're feeling adventurous, give the kangaroo a try--you likely won't find it anywhere else nearby!

This high rating is due mainly to the atmosphere, service, and quality of items being served. The location is right at North Beach on Lake Champlain near the North Beach Campground, has about 8 tables and a small tiki bar. It is located right beside the beach's snack bar, but has a very different vibe than a typical snack bar atmosphere. The BH gets busy during the weekends, but at no point are you felt rushed while hanging out. This was amazing, being able to sit back, enjoy the lake view with a beverage, and have not a care in the world. The servers are great and work hard, especially when someone calls off at the last minute. Personable and friendly every single time we visit. Now to the food and drink. They have a nice mixed drink selection along with a well-stocked top shelf bar. The beer menu goes well beyond the mass-produced national brands. A good variety of quality VT craft brews and ciders make up the most of the list (Citizen Cider-the best & 14th Star Tribute-amazing and veteran owned, to name a couple). The food was kicked up versions of typical snack/bar food. The salads were amazing along with the hummus plate. We loved the fresh cut fries and the Margarita Pizza really hit the spot. Portion sizes matched the price and location. My only regret is that the Beach House VT is so far from PA and we only get to Burlington once a year. But when we are in town camping at the North Beach Campground we love to frequent this place and let the stress flow away.

The approach from Route 2 is misleading because it just looks like a food truck. Then you walk back to see the bar and deck. The food and portions are good but the lobster roll was pretty bland so stick to o the rest of the menu. The table service for the food sucks but is ok for bar service... We waited almost and hour for 2 sandwiches. I'll cut them slack because it was a busy Labor Day weekend, but the wait was still pretty excessive. Pro tip: send 1 person to get a table and another to order food. At the food truck, they'll tell you, you can order from your table but if you want to reduce the wait, order at the truck.
