I can't think of one thing she did wrong even after she got a little busy towards the end or our meal. The food was outstanding. My wife enjoyed the halibut special and I had the scallops which were both exceptional. Tuna sashimi was perfect and the Caesar salad was the first Ive had in Vermont that was not over dressed - light yet flavorful. But our favorite thing was the duck fat French fries. They were hands down the best French fries we have ever had. Crispy and hot - the insides were like butter. I can't even imagine them as a poutine base! Thank You to all for an exceptional meal. We can't wait to come back! -T

Whitefish Beignets (6.5/10): Not bad, but nothing special. Sauteed Greens (6.5/10): Escarole with a slightly hot and sour sauce. It was actually executed decently. However, I was unimpressed because it just tastes like a run-of-the-mill Chinese dish that's missing some components. Crispy Pork + Scallops (3/10): We had a piece of pork belly that tasted strongly of boar taint. This ruined the meal for us. Without that piece, I think my rating would be 6.5/10. Really not impressed with this dish - nothing special about it. Crab Bao (7/10): This was pretty good. Loved the mix of textures. I always love a good bao dish.

This is a small and intimate restaurant, with close proximity to the open kitchen . Located on a pothole riddled side street outside of downtown Montpelier, walking through the threshold was as if transported through a portal to a most wondrous place. Excellent and welcoming service, low and moody lighting, expertly crafted cocktails, and a small but exceptional menu. My partner and I shared three plates with individual affogatos for dessert and we were plenty satiated. As the menu rotates with the seasons, we experienced early Spring offerings, including grilled vegetables on a rich red pepper sauce, but our favorite bites were the Dungeness crab dumplings: tender shredded crab meat inside a pillow of light and delicate dough, I will come back just for more of these. The pork tenderloin was perfectly cooked but I was less enthusiastic about the cold bean salad upon which it was served. For Montpelier, Ondis sits on the higher end of prices, but it certainly knows how to deliver an exceptional meal and experience.

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."

Every bit of food was prepared just right. We did eat a pineapple salad that was so fresh and crisp and not overly dressed, which was on the Specials menu.

The coup de grâce was the dessert. The ice cream of the day, which was an maple gingersnap flavor was outstanding, and carrot cake was hands down the best I have had in my life!
