Big Pops has been open for less than two years and it's superb. Great ambiance, good music, and the friendliest service ever. We ordered our food and an attendant brought it to our table with the greatest smile and the "please let us know if you need anything else". The subdued lighting and the REM-genre music makes for a welcoming place. And of course, ski movies on the large TV screen. I ordered the all-day Breakfast sandwich, 2 eggs, a boatload of shaved ham, cheese, on a Portuguese muffin. Yum. We will be back for sure. A wonderful respite from corporate resort food.

So nice to have this new place replace the Java Baba that was here before. We stopped by for lunch…read moreand were super impressed by the creative sandwich's and salads. We got a roast beef grinder that had good amount of meat plus a nice grinder roll. I got the chili which was enough for two meals. It had a spicy kick to it too and was a welcome surprise. The buffalo chicken salad was also huge and the chicken was a nice fresh tenders. Service was friendly and it was easy to order. Look forward to breakfast too.

Great food! I meant to take photos of the dinner but the…read morefood smelled so good I forgot. Started with the buffalo wings and they were crispy and delicious And complimentary rolls and butter So good and I want the recipe for that bread it was delicious For dinner I ordered the spinach cheddar baked haddock. It was delicious and buttery! Husband got the prime rib. He loved that it was served with a thicker gravy rather than au jus that most places do. Medium rare and came out at the perfect temp. Dinner also comes with a side salad. You won't leave this place hungry! We are definitely coming back. They were busy but that's the be expected on a Friday night. So glad to see a local family owned business thriving.

The selection of entrée items is absolutely the most I've ever seen in a restaurant, it made it hard to decide. I asked the waitress and she said the chicken Cordon Bleu was one of the top items so that's what I picked. It was basic stuffed ham n cheese in the chicken breast, it wasn't breaded, which I liked. It was smothered in a kind of a gravy or white sauce, not quite sure what sauce it was. Hot fresh baked rolls, a basic chopped iceberg lettuce house salad and baked potato included. Also ordered was the chicken tender dinner, very plentiful, enough for 3 people I'd say. Sadly the dipping honey mustard was so bad, like salad dressing with vinegar flavor, not good! I had a glass of Merlot, I'm not sure I've seen an eight dollar glass of wine on a menu in the last decade, so that was pleasant. In general, the server was very efficient, the host not so friendly, and the place was spacious but has very dated decor, which some may consider part of its charm. Unfortunately we're sitting by some very noisy people, taking phone calls and playing sports out loud on their phones acting like they owned the place, kind of ruined atmosphere. But they knew the staff and must think that behavior was acceptable. Bottom line we needed to eat and it was food.

She seemed annoyed about everything and actually said when we said oh we remember you " I'm always here" and at 60 something years old she might want to chose a new profession. Know we've had her before and she depicts unprofessionalism. I won't post her name.. It took 20 minutes to get drinks, had a tasteless salad, cracker crust poorly prepared pizza -$23 for 2? Our brisket as stated on the menu? no- it was actually overcooked 3 pieces of short rib with no sauce( $40 meant to be shared?? . what a joke. My wife and I love Leslie at the wineshop but the restaurant is horrible. I'd stay away until they get better!

There was a parking lot but we had already parked on-street prior. The interior was cute; there was a cafe and a few tables. On the other side was the kitchen area; they brought out the food to us on the cafe side. The place got busy after we got there; seems to be a hot spot for lunch. We got there around 10:50, they weren't serving food until 11. This was fine since they served coffee and that was priority to us at that time. I had a medium iced maple latte and it was good. For my meal, I had the chicken and waffles sandwich which were decent; there was crispy fried chicken, cole slaw, in between freshly made fluffy waffles. It was overall decent, but something was missing; I think that was some maple syrup or some hot sauce. My child had the fried Mac and cheese donut; it's a Mac and cheese shaped into a donut; this was good and a cute way to present food. Overall, a good spot to get some breakfast and lunch.

We learned that Blue Duck was previously a lunch stop, but is now a very classy dinner restaurant - 5 course tasting menu on Fridays and Saturdays with a fixed price. Each entree was beautiful, unique, very tasty. Ours briefly was 1) sweet corn, ricotta & pesto soup 2) seared Ahi with fried potato and lemon aioli 3) waygu with radish cream, microgreens 4) red gem salad with roasted beets and goat cheese, blueberry vinaigrette 5) Pavlova with berries and oat clusters Wow. The service was attentive and kind. The space was so thoughtfully decorated - everything from the lighting (gentle), to beautiful chairs/tables/dinnerware/flatware/decor- all adds to the beauty, presentation, and ambiance. We traveled here for the skiing, but found this gem of an experience.
