No waterfront seating was available so we had to settle for the covered patio which was still outside and very nice! Mr Ups has a great alcohol selection with plenty of craft beer options and daily specials. I had a pint of the Outlaw Light Lager special for $3 per pint! Great price, very good beer!! My entree was the pulluled pork tacos which was excellent! Plenty of food, I even brought one home! I definitely recommend Mister Ups when in the Middlebury VT area!

Unless you are going specifically to sit at the bar, I would not recommend going here for dinner…read more We made reservations for 10 people to celebrate a special birthday. Despite having a reservation, we waited 90 minutes for our meals. When the food finally arrived, it came out in waves about 10 minutes apart. By the time one end of the table received their meals, the other end had already finished eating. Our appetizer was delivered at the same time as our entrées and had clearly been sitting under a heat lamp. It was dried out and tasted of old oil. Our waitress appeared overwhelmed and received no visible support from management. We were not offered drink refills, and we were never asked if everything was satisfactory. The child in our group was served a burnt grilled cheese sandwich that required scraping off the charred portions just to make it edible. It was also made with rye bread and unmelted shredded cheese -- neither of which were indicated on the children's menu. After 2.5 hours, when we requested the check, we were told they could not separate it -- despite having informed the waitress at the beginning of the evening whose tabs were grouped together. We have hosted family events there before and have never encountered this policy. It was not posted or communicated to us in advance. As someone who has worked in customer service and management for over 30 years, I understand how challenging the industry can be. However, communication, organization, and support from management are essential if you expect guests to return. Unfortunately, this experience did not reflect that standard. We will be choosing to celebrate our family gatherings elsewhere in the future.

Two Brothers was the choice from the desk so we went with it and so glad we did. Place looked pretty busy, bar was full, we were seated pretty much right away. The menu is smaller (perfect amount of items , hate too many choices) but done well. We love doing shareable so we can try a bunch of different things. The mussels were the absolute show stopper here, different than most. Tequila, spicy, little bits of sausage, (i would have drank the broth or made this a soup it was so good) The Poutine was different than I was used to, it was our least favorite but still ok. This is just a personal preference but I'm used to being smothered in gravy, it was almost non existent. It's like the ere was a ladle on the bottom and fries on top so didn't get a lot of it. The street corn dip was really good, much different than others I've had as well but in a really good way. It was hearty with lots of corn, had some nice spice to it. We also had (not pictured) French onion soup, loved it, nice peppery, piping hot. The cheddar ale soup, best I've had, literally you can taste all the components of this, rich, thick, creamy, sharp cheddar with a hint of the ale in the background. For dessert we took the donut holes to go, the colors dip was amazing, the chocolate looked like it was seized up a bit, we also ate this a little later so it could have been us and not from then. This looks like a super fun place to belly up at the bar, it has the hometown feel , we are already planning a stop on our drive back later this week!

Amazing, amazing. After a long day at Killington, my kids wanted pasta, and there were only two…read moreItalian restaurants that I found in Rutland. If there were more (that weren't pizzerias), then I didn't see them. Looking at the menu and knowing my kids' tastes (12 and 9), Nonna's was right up their alley. From the minute we walked in, we were greeted with a smile and a welcoming introduction. Everyone was so kind and welcoming. It was a quiet and cozy restaurant, with impeccable service from beginning to end. The fresh bread, butter, and garlic with olive oil started off our meal. We followed it up with fried provolone, a chunk of breaded and fried provolone melted to a gooey temperature on a bed of red sauce and served with crostini. I don't know what the green dollop on it was, but I assumed it was something like pesto (possibly). This is where I first tasted the house-made red sauce. It is seriously a wonderful sauce--thick and hearty, robust with intense flavor. We devoured it within minutes. My kids wanted pasta, and at $9 for a gigantic plate with a huge Italian meatball, you can't beat it. My daughter said it was the second-best spaghetti she's ever had in her life. It came with the red sauce that was featured in the fried provolone. I agreed it was one of the best, and it was 100% the sauce. My Chicken Piccata was superb. It had all the flavors I was looking for--savory, delicious, tender slices of chicken with fresh veggies in a light and tangy lemon-white wine sauce. There were absolutely no leftovers when all was said and done. This is one of the best Italian restaurants I've ever had the pleasure of dining at. Run, don't walk when it comes to visiting Nonna's.

Despite…read moreposted hours open until 9, they said they could not seat anymore however you could go to the bar and order anything from the menu there. We were a party of 3. There were two available seats and we tried to move a 3rd over as there was room. We were met with an EXTREMELY rude tone and scolding from the bartender. I get they may have had staffing issues although they weren't that busy compared to so many normal nights in the past. Maybe don't work in the service industry if you can't work with people. That said, would like to give credit to their EXTREMELY friendly wait staff - many of whom have been there for years. They are always awesome....just have never been spoken to at any establishment the way the bartender barked. Will never try to pull a seat up there again.

We have frequented since, and can say confidently that this neighborhood restaurant cares immensely about the people they serve and the food they make. The menu is a wonderful mix of familiar comfort food and innovative new specials, all very well executed. Our favorites are the dry rubbed wings, their collection of fresh salads, and many of their creative tacos! We most recently also tried their blackened shrimp risotto special, and were impressed by the dish - large shrimps, perfectly made risotto, with a healthy dash of spinach...absolutely delicious. The staff is always kind and attentive, the drink selection is extensive, and the atmosphere/decor is delightfully eclectic. My 4 and 7 year olds also loves coming to WSG, because of their fun kids menus that offer a variety of kids entrees...they ask to come back even though I make them eat extra vegetables every time. One thing to note, the restaurant does get packed with people and reservations during some events and ski season, so make a reservation online to avoid being stuck waiting a long time! P.S. Sorry for the photos of partially eaten plates...I have little control over when my family digs in to the yummy food. ‍
