Course after course we were absolutely blown away by the skill and wizardry of the chefs. The portions were generous! Our service was equally as outstanding (shout out to waitress Emily and bartender Richard!) and we observed the owner coming out and chatting with all of the tables. The staff genuinely seem happy to be here and are not only kind to guests but kind to each other! Do not let the lack of website fool you- this restaurant is cranking out the highest level/quality food I've ever had the pleasure of consuming. I am gluten free and mentioned this when I booked our reservation because I was concerned that I might not have many options with a set menu. Much to my surprise- the kitchen had made accommodations to make EVERY SINGLE ENTREE safe for me to eat. They even made gluten free pop overs in place of the complimentary bread course. I couldn't believe it . Every plate is an actual work of art and the taste is like nothing I've ever experienced. This place is an absolute gem and I can very easily see why the owner has been nominated and won awards.

Not an ideal.place to sit. The food was decent and well cooked. I had the scallops special and wild rice, both were delicious but I would have liked to have had a vegetable with the meal, that was about $26 The fried shrimp were large shrimp with the tails left on and the side of coleslaw was large chunks with little to no dressing. The fresh cut fires were a plus. The waitress was strung out, all ovwr the place, but very pleasant. This is a local "watering hole" and it has a welcoming vibe. Would atop again but saw other places that id like to try fist before going back.

It is in an old building with the most wonderful wood floors. There is a ramp outside for handicapped access. I got a great Reuben on swirled rye. It was so good.

The server was cute and rattled off ten different desserts like she was naming her kids--no hesitation! I thought that was impressive as I sure couldn't do that!

Had a very unsettling experience at this restaurant on Sunday night. When we arrived we were…read moreexcited as this has been a staple in Kingfield for many years. Upon our arrival our waitress, Colleen, seemed a little disorganized and took awhile to grab us menus. We looked past that though for the time being, my friend ended up ordering a bud light. When he got his beer he tried it and it was an IPA. Had a darker tint to it as well, when the waitress came back my friend nicely asked what kind of beer it was and she said bud light, but became argumentative about it immediately which was not our intention at all. We simply just wanted to know what it was because it was an IPA. After wanting to argue and tell us it wasn't an IPA, she leaves and comes back and tells us that it was in fact an IPA and gave us a bud light. We thought it was all over after this, it wasn't. She then continues to act rude throughout the whole interaction and was not attentive to our table whatsoever. Then it came time for the bill. She quickly comes over and says yeah I'll get you boxes and then runs off, we wanted to let her know we wanted 3 separate checks. When she comes back we let her know this and she says well I'll try to remember what you guys had, when we offered to write it down for her since we didn't know it was such a hassle. We then decide to pay for it on one check, when my friend nicely goes down to do this she says "Yeah, the way you should have done it in the first place." We finally leave... it should be over at this point right? Well it wasn't, when we are walking back to our car from the gas station, she screams over another group of people at us "THANKS FOR THE 10 PERCENT TIP!" After the extremely rude and uncomfortable service, she's lucky she even got a tip! I don't know if she was having a bad day, but this is not someone I would want in the hospitality business. We left extremely disappointed and will not be back. It's too bad that a staple for so long has turned into a place that leaves a sour taste in your mouth

The waitress was awesome and on top of it, she gave us her recommendations and went into great detail for the dishes we were potentially interested in. The chips were really good, the cream cheese dip that comes with it was very creamy, and not overpowering. I decided to get the mushroom crepes as a starter. They were thin and crispy, the mushrooms were well cooked, the onions are nice and caramelized. For my entree, I decided to get the Chicken Milanese, the chicken was thin and crispy chicken, the side salad accompanying it was a nice addition. The potatoes were nice and crispy. One of the big highlights was that the chef came out and gave advice on crepes - I never get it right!! I'll be trying again soon. My friend enjoyed his meatloaf, said it was tender and the gravy sauce was nice. Very delicate dishes. I'll definitely be back here to try out more dishes, and definitely recommend trying this place out.
