We had a truly incredible meal here. The waiter told us for a party of two he'd recommend 3-4…read moredishes, and not only did we more than double that, we ate and loved every bite. We got the sourdough pita, crispy chickpeas, scallop crudo, cabbage with nduja, short rib with baba, grilled squash, mushroom risotto, and finished with the tahini ice cream and strawberry/rhubard granita. The pita is an absolute must, and if I have any regret it's not ALSO getting a pizza, because those looked incredible. I think the absolute best bites of the meal, though, were the short rib and risotto, along with the tahini ice cream, which blew me away (and I didn't even expect to like it that much). I can't imagine that there's a better restaurant within 50 miles.

just reading a review of a year ago with people complaining about mosquitoes and hornets and bugs…read more I am writing this with the same complaint about mosquitoes and bugs sitting out on the porch in the restaurant when the sun starts to go down. There's really no excuse for this. Thermo CELL makes an incredibly cheap little gadget which we bring now when we're coming there that you just turn it on and sit it on the floor and it absolutely deters anything like that. I think Management should have taken that review a year ago seriously. The food was very very good the atmosphere is delightful the white staff was very nice. The other concern is that we were seated outside which we wanted and about a half an hour later a family with four children under the ages of six years old were seated right next to us almost shoulder to shoulder where the planter is and they all began screaming and running around and this was for the entire dinner. That should not be anything that should happen. If you have a situation like that where screaming children are around they should be seated at a table around the corner on the deck off by themselves. Only problem is you only have three tables outside on the deck and you could easily fit six but there should be an accommodation for some type of situation like that. When you spend about $200 for a dinner and you're completely inundated with bugs and screaming children both of which are not necessary, you are left with a bad taste in your mouth. Hopefully management will decide to address these issues as they should.

A friend and I stayed for one night on a New England road trip. The motel is cute and has a large…read moreproperty with a grassy area you can sit in or walk around. The motel itself was just that... an old school motel (kinda) in the middle of nowhere. The room was ok, the bed wasn't the most comfortable and their curtains were really thin and let in the (very) early sunlight. The price was decent and the location worked for our trip, so, in that way, it was a great place to stay.

Oh, what can I say about The Lodge at West River?! Okay...so...I'll be honest, I'm a beach girl at…read moreheart but it was time for a needed change of pace. I spent four days over the fourth of July weekend at The Lodge and loved it! A quintessential lodge in a quaint town on VT Route 30. The rooms were nice, clean, comfortable AND came with FireTV! #winning The Lodge does not have a restaurant or kitchen onsite but offers continental breakfast every morning and when in season fresh strawberries from the farm a short distance up the road - best strawberries I have eaten in a long, long time. David & Oliver are the new owners and a lovely and immensely funny couple. They had loads of information on where to visit, what to see, where to eat (most important) and the history of the town and neighboring towns to include the fact the Chevy Chase movie Funny Farm was produced in the adjacent town of Townshend, Vermont. I love that movie! The time away was very nice and relaxing. Vermont is extremely green and beautiful. I will definitely return, looking forward to a trip in the winter *I think* (see beach girl reference).

This is a small motel close to Mount Snow, 3 stories. The parking lines aren't clearly drawn out…read moreunder the snow, and they don't shovel it all of the way (there's a good shovel on the central walkway but sometimes people park there), so sometimes cars are double-parked or tight. Watch the parking lot exit - snow piles up and makes it hard to see folks coming on the road so several near-misses. Check-in on your phone (they text you a form and then send you a code to your door when the room is ready). Doors use a security code to enter the rooms. Desk hours are 9-5p, so if you go down at 4:45p and ask about why your door code doesn't work - and then find out the staff is already gone for the day, that was a problem. The day we checked in, a lot of people had issues with their room (all different reservations from different groups, too), and the staff left early that day. Eventually after texting a number and the hotline for customer service goes to the closed room (no one picks up on the number and there's no central phone line staffed), they get back to you via text - I believe the staffer on duty was apparently in the shower as she came down with wet hair after about 45min of folks getting anxious about what to do, and she had folks take a key to use instead of using the door code. Rooms are small, simple, and have an exit to the long shared balcony areas; good to put food outside and let it chill since there's no room fridge. Lighting is a bit dark, but suffices. TV has no issues, cable channels. Bathroom door opened the wrong way so you can't come into the room and open the bathroom door at the same time. Was clean, though, so that was good. Breakfast on the weekend included bagels, boiled eggs, and yogurt in a small fridge to the side. They also have a coffee machine, so you could get hot water and coffee. Breakfast bars and tea by the coffee station. There was also a water cooler to the side, but the staffer didn't have any water to refill that after it was empty in the first hour we were there... so only hot water for the rest of the long weekend. Hallway had a closet for self-service on the towels and supplies. Another closet at the entry for your skis, boots, and snow board to hang and dry a bit. Shared common room for folks to eat and play games. Downstairs, a little library, fireplace, pool table (needs some repair, had to put some logs into the bottom to avoid losing balls, ripped surface), a bar with plastic cups, a piano that's out of tune, and some card and board games. Good for the kids to run around and enjoy talking loudly away from the rest of the motel, which was good. Outside a hot tub (we didn't use it). Upstairs some seating and fireplace area, too. Overall, value the place for the location, 5 min from the mountain, and it's a motel. Don't expect 24-7 service, and it is convenient to restaurants and other areas nearby. Shuttle stops by to get to the mountain, too.

I do not understand the great reviews. Came for one overnight for a fall foliage drive…read more Pulling in, the motel did not even look like it was open. A random doorway with no signage led to the supposed entrance. Check in and out was via text. Not one person around to answer questions. A sign on the wall stated which rooms were on which floor, that was it. Never saw any public spaces at all. I will say the bed was very comfortable and had a flat screen TV but that's it. Tiny Bathroom with very dim lights. The room looked like a mud brown box, no decoration at all and very ratty old rug. Odd that some things looked good, but others were unfinished. Clean, very basic. All in all it appeared like it was the middle of a hotel flip. Construction, ladders in entrance ways, and workers pounding at 9:30 am.
