I could not choose between pancakes or French toast so I had both and I still cannot tell which one I preferred. The French toast was served with a fresh mixed berry compote that was out of this world. Most restaurants make it too sweet and then you lose the savory-sweet balance of the breakfast, but not at Gladys' Kitchen. I could tell how fresh the berries were. The pancakes were the exact brunch pancakes you want and served with a bunch of real maple syrup. Highly recommend, especially on a pretty day when you can sit outside!

We were headed from Londonderry to Okemo for a day of skiing and my friend wanted to grab some…read morebreakfast so we stopped at the Maple Leaf Diner. Just a little local restaurant that shares a building with a small market. Maple Leaf is utilitarian, nothing fancy, but service is good and the food just what you would expect. Since it had been a while since I had a good diner breakfast I figured I would get one of my favorites, the French Toast. My meal was 3 full slices with a little side of butter patties and a small bottle of maple syrup. I expected the French Toast to be a bit sweet, but this was more just bread dipped in eggs and grilled; it lacked the custardy goodness and moist interior I look for in the best French Toast. Overall this was OK, but nothing special. Maple Leaf seems like a nice little place with pretty good food, unfortunately I think I just picked the wrong item and my expectations may have been to high. If you are looking to grab some breakfast in Londonderry give them a try.

I had a double espresso macchiato & a slice of maple buttermilk pie! My friend had a maple nut scone. The food was delicious. The scone was not dry and the hint of maple was just right. The maple buttermilk pie was to die for!! They have other food items on the menu, but we just needed a treat. The service was friendly and efficient. I especially appreciated the affordable prices. I mentioned this to the proprietor and he said they want prices affordable for locals, so they don't jack them up for tourists. That was a huge plus to me! The restaurant is rather small, but there are enough tables for seating and there was no rush for us to move along. This is a must stop in Chester!

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.

Went here for a dinner to celebrate a family birthday…read more On the positives: They gave us a great private room with great art work hanging from the wall. Indeed, this is a big gallery (with a restaurant inside it) so its great for browsing, particularly if you're waiting for your meals. Food is fresh and very good. Had a miso soup while others had a potato/celery soup too. And a mushroom pasta dish to start was also tasty. For main dishes, the salmon was well done with an ample portion. On the negative: The service was haphazard on a busy Saturday night. Go on a weeknight when it is less crowded. They didn't fill out water glasses and seemed to disappear for stretches of time. Also, the "frites" on the steak au frites dish were cold and a plain pasta was a little al dente. Also, the place lacks air conditioning which is 95% fine in Vermont, except on that really warm day. Which was the day we were there. (I should note that our dinner companions had been there on the prior Thursday and said the experience then was spectacular, so the kitchen could've been a bit off on a dish or two). But overall, we had a very pleasant experience and one of the better restaurants in the South Central area. A definite place to go if you're looking for a night out..

So to save someone some grief after driving long distances to dine here and be turned away...you've been warned, you will not find this information on their website either. I checked! We didn't go on a busy night, there was only 5 tables seated and the place was otherwise empty. The attitude that we encountered being told we cannot be accommodated that night would not be something tolerable in the hospitality business and we're glad we didn't spend any money here. We could have easily made reservations for next time if the guy did not let out a god awful sigh like we were I interrupting something. I'm sure the food would have been good, but the service we received was absolutely terrible.

This is a place my parents have been coming to for 10-20 years and pushed us to visit on our vacation. It's a small place w limited seating so you might have to wait, but it will be well worth it.

The inside really arrives for "general store", and it's cute, but they are far more focused on the bistro side: with the best chai latte I've had. They also have a full bar. As far as food- its expensive. The fresh bread is a step up from what I would expect, but it's not quite worth it for the food alone. (But combined with the atmosphere it absolutely is). Oddly, breakfasts and drinks are very reasonably priced. If I lived near this would be a routine summer morning stop. As it was, really glad for the stop at the start of a very long drive.

We were bombarded with 2 pride flags when we pulled in the parking lot. One of which says "everyone's welcome here". Then we walked in the vestibule to be "welcomed" with some sort of pride ladder with notes of encouragement in it. The door has a bunch of stop signs on it saying to wait outside the door to be seated. The wait is quite awkward to say the least. Especially when no less than 4 waitresses make eye contact with you and don't bother to acknowledge your existence. Looking through the window like a puppy dog we could see that there were plenty of open seating. After waiting for an exorbitant amount of time being shunned, we decided to leave.
