Disappointed a regular My husband and I have been going here for breakfast for a couple of years…read morenow. We typically go twice a month on Saturdays. We recently adopted a second puppy and are unable to go in for breakfast but love it so much, so we order it to go! Today, Mother's Day, I called to place my regular order and was met with a response that surprised me a bit. It wasn't so much what was said to me but how it was said. "I'm not taking any to go orders today. We are just too busy!" And then she hangs up. No apology, no empathy, no care for her loyal customer. I was taken aback, as this is not at all how this wonderful cafe operates. It is such a great place to go to. The staff and owners are friendly and welcoming, the food is fantastic and it feels like home. It is a true Vermont treasure and I'm hoping it was just a one off.

To celebrate America's 250th birthday, my wife and I chose a restaurant with history to match the…read moreoccasion--Ye Olde Tavern in Manchester, Vermont, a landmark dating back to circa 1790. It was the perfect setting for a memorable holiday dinner. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with friendly, attentive service from our server, Jamie. The ambiance was warm, inviting, and rich with history, making us feel like we had stepped back in time. We started with an Old Fashioned made with Smugglers' Notch bourbon for me and a refreshing Blueberry Refresher for my wife. The homemade cranberry fritters served with Vermont maple butter were an outstanding way to begin the meal. Next came bowls of the delicious Cheddar & Ale Onion Soup, followed by the Maple Butter & Walnut Encrusted Brie served with Vermont apples and toasted baguette--an excellent combination of sweet, savory, and crunchy flavors. Our entrees were preceded by fresh field greens salads with balsamic vinaigrette and blue cheese crumbles, along with warm, freshly baked bread. I thoroughly enjoyed the Traditional Pot Roast--tender brisket slow-cooked in the tavern's Circa 1790 Amber Ale with rich pan gravy. My wife chose the Scrod with pumpkin seeds, butter, Chardonnay, and lemon, which was perfectly prepared and beautifully balanced. To finish, we shared the Cranberry & Apple Crisp topped with local vanilla ice cream and whipped cream--a fittingly New England ending to an exceptional meal. The combination of outstanding food, welcoming hospitality, and the unique historic atmosphere made for a wonderful dining experience. If you're visiting Manchester, Ye Olde Tavern is well worth a visit, especially if you're looking to enjoy classic Vermont cuisine in one of the state's most historic settings.

They offer lots of different styles and you can order a flight of four, which is great. My favorite was the Pumpkin Ale. They also have several different local wines available. We'll definitely be back to try their food and more of their beers!

Ugh- We were sooooo looking forward to coming here. Unfortunately it fell well short of our…read moreexpectations. Firstly the restaurant was 90 degrees-it was unbearable and we should've left after being served warm oysters but we were hoping it would get better. Joanne was great, but as soon as she went up to her office, service was horrible. We had to ask for everything. We ordered 3 apps and 1 came out in 20 min and the other 2 25 minutes after that! We eat at a lot of fine dining restaurants so we are user to spending money. We spent over $300 as a 2 top and didn't even get any sort of acknowledgement for our anniversary. The food was over priced, portions were small and the service was bad. We originally booked the chefs counter but asked to ait in the dining room because I couldnt fathom sitting in front of a kitchen-the girl said we would have to go back to our bar seats-however, tables sat empty the entire time we were there. Besides the warm oysters, the halibut cheeks were super stringy and my husband's pork dish was luke warm with cold puree underneath. Like I said, we shouldve left after the warm oysters but being our anniversary we wanted to try to make the best of it. Such a shame because the location is perfection. I still cant believe we spent $393 on sub par food in a 90 degree dining room. Sorry Hill Farm, we left underwhelmed, sad and with heat stroke.....

They were voted 2019 #2 Best Restaurant in the Rutland area and I think they were robbed. My husband began the night by choosing a menu option that allows customers to buy the back of the house staff a round of cream ale which causes them to erupt in kitchenware percussion and celebratory hooting. The Potato Leek soup was velvety and delicious. They served us the best fried Brussel Sprouts that I have ever eaten. They were crispy, well seasoned and the aioli was also good but they didn't even need it. I am not much of a drinker but their specialty margarita was so well made (and strong) that had I not already gotten quite precious after the first one, I would have ordered another. My husband liked the cauliflower, squash mac and cheese special. My mushroom ravioli with capers and cream sauce were also delicious. We finished up with a house made lemon-lime cheese cake. Usually, citrus is not welcome in my dessert. I prefer chocolates, cookies and caramels in my cheesecake. I want to know that my Diabetic Ketoacidosis Emergency admission to a backwater hospital was well earned. However, it was delicious. The service was friendly and unpretentious, in my adorable, slightly drunken state I became absolutely thrilled when one of the waitresses was publicly gifted with a Plague Doctor Squishable (look them up).
