We live in Saint Albans and pop up to the Bistro quite a bit. The staff is always very friendly,…read moreeven when they are busy, the food is fresh, flavorful and delicious. I looked at some of the grumpy reviews and I just don't get it. Lol. Sometimes it can be a little loud, any restaurant will be when busy and they have live music which can add to it, but you can always check and see if music is happening. The menu shifts seasonally which is really nice and it's clear that the chief cares about the food he puts out. We're more than happy to make the drive to visit our favorite restaurant in Swanton.

I had a firehouse burger with onion rings and a beer. The food was good, but $17 for the basket was…read morea bit pricey in my opinion. Then again there aren't too many restaurants in the area so you can't be too picky! The menu only had burgers, sandwiches, and six entrées to choose from. It would be nice if they expanded that a bit more in the future. My server Sierra was super friendly & attentive. The restaurant is nicely decorated and has a great vibe!

Jeff's - we went Thursday night (a friend and I, she was having a bad time and needed to talk) and…read moreour server was understanding and respectful of the vibe. We had delicious mussels as an app, and both had strip steaks. Perfectly cooked, delicious. Prices were reasonable, dining room had a low buzz of conversation which hopefully camouflaged the occasional sob or growl of anger which emerged from our table. Looking forward to coming back when the mood at my table is more festive!

We went with Chipotle chicken sandwiches - two thumbs up! Definitely prepared with thoughtfulness and care. The place is charming, the service was extremely friendly, and the food was delicious! They have lots of vegetarian and gluten free menu items, also. Even the lemonade was much better than the average restaurant lemonade. The bistro was very clean, as were the restrooms. We will definitely be back!

I want to start with we went to the Mother's Day brunch for $32.00 a person. We had a 9:00…read morereservation, by 9:30 we had not received our drinks and half the food wasn't out. At 9:50, they were still missing half the things on the menu(I included a picture of the the menu and crossed out all the menu items that were NOT available) Positives: * the staff was genuinely very nice * free drinks for mothers * the Mac and cheese was very good! Negatives: * half that was advertised was not available * missing utensils in the food- customers were using the wrong utensils and cross contaminating things * no refills were offered as the staff seemed extremely overwhelmed * people had to keep requesting plates to be stocked * the food was mediocre at best * half of the items were not labeled

Waited over an hour and a half after sitting down for our food to finally come out. I will have to say the price to portion size is gravely off compared to other restaurants in the area.$32 for mac-n-cheese with 5oz of chicken added-on. Seriously?I can say I will not be bringing my family and guests back. Would have been a zero stars if I could.

This is a regular on my trips to Vermont now. Don't know which I like better the food or the beer…read more Outstanding selection of both and the quality is top notch. Great big covered area for those of us with 4 legged friends in tow. Staff is always friendly and attentive. Great spot.

The food was fine. It didn't knock my socks off but there wasn't anything wrong with it. The…read moreservice was quick and friendly and they had a decent drink selection. We sat in the outside area which I liked. We had 2 beers, 1 cider, 1 falafel sandwich, a small salad and spinach fritters. They added 4 or 5 additional fees that didn't include a tip. Our total with 18% tip was $90. That felt kinda steep -- (especially considering low octane beer served in a small chalice.)
