Parking seemed plentiful as well. The beer was solid, as I had remembered. We were short on time and my liver was short on remaining capacity, but it was great to be back and see the growth. The venue has such a great small, friendly feel to it, the staff were very friendly both visits, and this time they had live music as well. Stop by and try a pint - they have several styles to choose from, including a great NEIPA and bottle saison that I took to go.

Great restauranteur, mural designer, food truck operator, you name it. The place serves awesome food, great beers, and all within an amazing ambiance. First time since they moved that we came over. The place is just across the Quechee Gorge park, hard to miss. Once inside, atmosphere is charged with the aroma of great food, while staff moves with plates and drinks constantly. It wasn't necessarily busy but the traffic was continuous. We were seated in the breezeway and ordered refreshments, a Session beer and a Western IPA, both local and very tasty. Food came next. Three tacos for me and two for the hubby. Mine were mixed, chicken, beef and fish. All three were superb. As well, their street corn is superb. I was able to converse with the owner and he showed me the mural he made and the amazing work done in an old building, gutting it and turning it into a showcase of a beautiful restaurant. Highly recommended.

What used to be a sketchy area is now filled with boutique shops, bustling businesses of tech and industry, arts, culture, and restaurants. One such upscale craft cocktail bar is Wolf Tree. If you didn't know it, you might feel as if you'd stepped into a hipster cocktail lounge in Brooklyn as you walk into Wolf Tree. They offer a variety of playful and inventive drinks. My friend was able to get a virgin cocktail but I just wish they had more than one single cocktail on the menu with vodka. With my choices somewhat limited, I went with a drink called "Friday I'm In Love": vodka, citrus, strawberry, mint, and bubbles. It looked beautiful when it arrived to the table and was a palate pleaser with sour, sweet, and minty flavors. They have weekly specials, classic-type cocktails, and what they call "happy meals" - a beer and shot combination. Don't fear, though, they still have Budweiser, Bud Lite, Miller High Life, and other draft beers for those feeling more traditional Upper Valley. We also ordered one of their charcuterie boards that featured local selections of cheese and meats, olives, pickled vegetables, cured mustards, and a baguette. A great selection but like most of Wolf Tree, a little on the expensive side. Overall I enjoyed my first trip to Wolf Tree and I'm glad hip places like this exist in the Upper Valley.

Skinny Pancake is a cute term for "crepes," so be aware that is what you'll be ordering. I got a really tasty one, which had egg, sausage, brie and apples in it, with a side of maple syrup. It was a delight... I loved it, and would definitely order it again. My friend got a breakfast burrito and she liked it too. The food seemed quite fresh and the ingredients felt healthier than eating bacon and eggs at a greasy spoon, so I'll take it!

Once inside, all looked perfect but the outside seating has the waterfall view and it's just beautiful. Service was amazing, fast friendly and professional. They bought us a bread plate with maple butter, and our drinks. The menu has a lot of delicious options so it was hard to decide but finally we had to have the Cheese Soup, which I have to recommend, regardless of the weather. This was excellent. And as my entree I went with the Fish and Chips. That fish tasted so fresh, the batter was not overwhelming the fish, and the tartar sauce was on point, It was a nice portion, that I was able to share with my Fiancée. He had the quiche that also tasted very fresh and the side salad it came with was divine. The food was so impressive we wished we had left room for dessert. But hopefully we get the chance to try some another time. Definitely a must visit.

I'm so sad to have to write a negative review of Simon Pearce (although there are plenty of them…read moreout there). It was our first time there, celebrating our son's 21st birthday. Not sure what happened between the kitchen and our server, but 2 of 3 main courses came out cool. One was my crab-stuffed sole and the other was our son's $85 filet mignon. We had to let the server know. She brought over the manager who said they would "reheat" our dishes. I questioned him, um, "reheat" not remake? He said he could redo them but the steak will take 25 minutes (son's father had already dug into his duck by this point). Manager said if we try reheating it and it's not to our liking he'd take the steak (no mention of the sole) off the bill. We said fine, let's try reheating so as to resume eating asap. Of course the steak was no longer medium-rare and my fish was pretty awful. The most annoying thing is that he/manager NEVER acknowledged my meal being cold and removing it from the bill. Only my son's steak. Why? I don't know. In general, I think the food here is overpriced and very underwhelming. Now I know and I don't need to go back.Food did not have the flavors outlined in the descriptions. Our Waitress was very good though (not her fault the food was not to par for the price).

I had the halibut and salad, which were delicious and both made great use of locally grown blueberries. The kids didn't appreciate the pasta with butter and cheese having homemade pasta; they didn't like that it was a more difficult shape to eat than a standard penne-like pasta. But I tried it and thought it was unusually delicious for that standard kid dish. And very reasonably priced, too. Several menu items I didn't get to try sounded great, too. Sorry that I won't have a chance to go back on our trip.

I like the place and the food is not great but it is usually at least okay. But the meal starts off with a bad taste when they charge for bread which is FREE almost everywhere else. And there's nothing special about the bread! Come on Skunk Hollow, you are treating customers like airlines do! Will you have to pay to use the toilets soon? How about charging for use of the forks and knives? You take advantage of the fact that people are most hungry when they arrive and more likely to give in to your unforgivable greed. I know others who don't want to go there just because of the obscene BREAD CHARGES! It's insulting
