How is it possible that this Vermont delicacy tasted better than I can ever recall? The texture what sublime. The maple flavor pronounced.

There were two available seats and we tried to move a 3rd over as there was room. We were met with an EXTREMELY rude tone and scolding from the bartender. I get they may have had staffing issues although they weren't that busy compared to so many normal nights in the past. Maybe don't work in the service industry if you can't work with people. That said, would like to give credit to their EXTREMELY friendly wait staff - many of whom have been there for years. They are always awesome....just have never been spoken to at any establishment the way the bartender barked. Will never try to pull a seat up there again.

We live close, and there's not much out here. I don't think I've ever had worse breakfast food in my entire life, so bland and honestly it made me sad to eat here both times. Same waitress both times, likely same chef by the taste of it. I don't think it can get worse than this. Save your money and drive the extra 20 minutes to Wheel Inn. Thank me later.

A true marketplace experience, if you will. We stopped in right when they opened at 8am on a Wednesday in August. My son had the breakfast burrito and I had the huevos rancheros. Both very good and very filling. The woman who took our order was very friendly. Everything was bright and clean and very inviting. We left a little after 9 and the place was starting to fill up by then. This was a great spot to fill up before continuing on our roadtrip, and glad we found it! We would love to come back the next time we are in town!

Gift card creemees available. All ingredients are locally sourced and each batch changes on a regular basis to feature new flavors. The owners Dani and Kevin make all flavors of their creemees from scratch! Blueberry, Strawberry, Blood Orange, Apple Pie, Maple(seems to be available all the time), of course Chocolate and Vanilla...are there all the time. Portions are generous and you may request your creemee with toppings or twist of two flavors style, and on a cone or in a cup. Truly outstanding as is their breakfast and lunches offered. There is a gift shop inside and you can dine in or take-out!

I was treated to dinner here. This, the Starry Night Cafe', is not the sort of place I would…read morepatronize and I'm still asking myself if I really dined here. It's that a friend treated me here because I did all the driving in and around the Green Mountains of Vermont to look at the scenery. Starry Night Cafe' is about fine dining. It's also about "new" cuisine, so that means creative culinary takes on what could be ordinary dishes. Sometimes I'll buy into the concept of "new" and sometimes I won't. Either way, the food here is not meant to be just like it is at all those other restaurants! The two chosen starters were a Caesar-like salad and a cheese plate. I liked my salad, but felt the cheese plate didn't have much to it, although the cheese was of high quality and good. The entrees selected were the mafaldine pasta and the salmon. My friend thought the salmon was good, and I thought my pasta was very good. Portions were about right for fine dining and, thankfully, not abysmally small. The mafaldine's presentation looked green as if it the sauce might be pesto, but it is not. It's a spinach pasta. Also, note that these are pronounced "mah-fahl-deen-eh" and not "mah-fahl-deen." A dessert was ordered and it featured berries and cream. I tried a little bit of it and it was delicious. The bread that arrived at the beginning of the meal was excellent. The serving staff seemed excited about the vaudouvan butter. This name doesn't mean anything to me. Should it? The menu mentioned that the butter was flavored with curry. I hesitated and was told that it was a French curry. I wondered how that might be different. Still, no matter how much or how little you use of it, the aftertaste lingers for too long. I did not like this nifty butter. Starry Night Cafe' looks inconspicuous from the parking lot. Once inside, there are several nice rooms in which to eat and you initially see a tastefully appointed bar. Each of the dining spaces has a slightly different personality. There are even outdoor spaces flanked by a large pond that would have worked well if it wasn't as humid as it was that day. Even the restrooms are decked out, right down to what might be oil paintings by local artists ... and the restrooms even smell good! The name of the restaurant does indeed refer to the work of Vincent Van Gogh. The service is excellent. They both explain the dishes you inquire about and answer other questions you might have. Being my usual self, I was observing and making assessments of the situation, such as the service and its style. It was funny in that it tried to be informal and even a little folksy, given that it's Vermont, when it is in fact fine dining. In reality, the real vibe was that the interaction was more formal than in many nicer restaurants, whether rural or urban. With that said, Starry Night is an expensive restaurant. I asked my friend about all the 5 star ratings. My friend said that, for Vermont, it is probably a 5 star event, but if it was in New York City and its environs, it would most likely fetch 4 stars. I'll go with that logic. The entree and the dessert were very tasty, but I did not like there being a polarizing spice in the butter, nor the small portion of the (other person's) cheese plate. I did appreciate the curated atmosphere and the professional service. Starry Night Cafe' made for a very interesting experience. I chose things from the menu that worked for me. I'm glad that I was taken here to eat, and I'm (humorously) stressing the words "taken here."

We came to Rocker's on word of mouth from our plumber! He…read morelives in Vergennes. We live in Hinesburg. I wanted a Philly Cheese Steak. My wife wanted her fav, a Margherita Pizza. I also ordered Onion Rings. I asked the counter person what cut of steak they used for their Philly's. She politely offered that they use shaved steak. I asked if it was Rib-Eye or Top Round or Sirloin, because the word 'steak' can mean any cut of beef really. She said she would go out back in the kitchen an ask - came back in a moment and said, 'Rib-Eye'. "Great", I said and ordered a whole / lg. Our order only took a brief time before being delivered to our dining room table by the same counter person. She was very nice / good people skills...a good first impression...we were 1st time customers and...matter of factly....we used to own and operate our own pizza shop for ten years. She was a good staff member to represent their business at the front counter! The food. My Philly was outstanding. Moist. Not dry like some others I've had out. So many places use cheap Top Round of Beef, shaved thin to cut costs. This one was VERY good. I could only eat half / brought the other half with us. When the counter woman placed my wife's 'Margherita' pizza down on the table, I said, 'now THAT is a great looking pizza'!!! The counter woman said, 'yeah...it DOES look great'....'it's my favorite pizza'! And it WAS very very good. Cooked perfectly..golden crust...just the right amount of sauce to fresh mozz - cheese ratio....fresh chopped Basil sprinkled on top....and added AFTER it came out of the oven..I could tell. Perfect. She loved it. The Onion Rings? Cooked golden, perfect. They were not only cooked correctly, they tasted great and were HOT. I'm not trying to diss other restaurants but sometimes....sometimes they must cook their fries or OR's way too early in the order and must put them under a heat lamp...when they SHOULD be cooked just before the order goes out to the table....these WERE!!! And most places DO NOT make their own OR's....too messy, labor intensive..these tasted like Brew City OR's...a brand...but if not...they were VERY VERY good!!! So all and all, a very good job by 'Rocker's' on our first visit....I asked the counter woman who made the Philly / she told me / so I ventured into the kitchen and gave the crew a two thumbs up to all! Yes I did! Because I used to own my own pizzeria....and I know how hard the industry is.....I thanked them! I am a pizziolo and have been making pizzas since 1969 at The Tower Restaurant on Williston Rd, South Burlington. This was a very good pizza! By the way...it was our 50th Wedding Anniversary that day! They did a great job / and we left happy. Thanks again - Good Job staff!!! Continued success! Dave M.
