The menu we found online was more limited than what they offer, which was a pleasant surprise. The food was good, nothing fancy, but good enough that we'll head back again tomorrow.

We recently adopted a second puppy and are unable to go in for breakfast but love it so much, so we order it to go! Today, Mother's Day, I called to place my regular order and was met with a response that surprised me a bit. It wasn't so much what was said to me but how it was said. "I'm not taking any to go orders today. We are just too busy!" And then she hangs up. No apology, no empathy, no care for her loyal customer. I was taken aback, as this is not at all how this wonderful cafe operates. It is such a great place to go to. The staff and owners are friendly and welcoming, the food is fantastic and it feels like home. It is a true Vermont treasure and I'm hoping it was just a one off.

I expected the onion soup to have a rich beef broth, but it had very little flavor. The fat on the porchetta pinwheel wasn't sufficiently rendered, so about half the dish was just inedible. The mashed potatoes on the side were pasty. To offer this quality of food at the current price point is inexcusable.

A shell of its former glory…read more I grew up hearing my parents rave about this place, they were nearly regulars a few years ago at their old location. I tried my brothers steak and we both agreed it was the most unique tasting steak we'd ever had in a bad way. My mom ordered a dish that came with rice and it seemed as if it was a type of quick/instant rice and her meal wasn't enjoyable. She said the quality went downhill from previous years. I ordered the duck, and I could hardly cut it, it wasn't tender, it was extremely chewy and the flavor was almost tasteless and what I could taste wasn't good. The sides were better than the duck sadly. My little brothers got burgers and fries and I will say the fries easily best the rest of the food with their salt and skins still on. The prices are steep and are comparable to other "fancy" middle tier restaurants, another side note all of our dishes for 6 people came out within 10 minutes which says something. I wish our experience was different.

Where do I begin?? This is the only time I ever wrote a bad review. It is not the first time we…read morewent to this restaurant but last night was awful. Let's begin....rude hostess (owner?), Stir fry with chicken came as a soupy veggy dish with some white chicken. I asked to hold off the onion due to allergies and guess what? Plenty of it was in the dish. We also ordered a stuffed mushroom, and the center of the stuffing was still frozen. The spanakopita was tasteless. The complimentary house salad never even arrived. The price of almost $80 for these dishes was ridiculously high. Will never go there again. Too bad.

What a delightful small diner! We were cruising past Fair Haven when we spotted their sign -- it's…read morenot a big one, BTW -- and stopped in. Good move by us. We enjoyed a very tasty midday breakfast/lunch with good, easy-going service and a distinctly local flavor. But let's get to the food: over-easy eggs cooked just right, homemade and delicious corned beef hash, and a nice-size burger cooked as requested and yummy. Service was quick, the restaurant was clean, and the new guy in the kitchen merits praise for his good work. Our companion diners at the next table looked as if they might have been seated there for decades, savoring their coffee refills and enjoying togetherness. Nice. Wish we had a diner comparable to Wooden Soldier back home. Well worth a visit if you're headed in this direction.

We took an extra long time to decide on food because we were chatting and catching up. The staff were so kind and understanding. When we did finally place an order we both got turkey sandwiches. The turkey is roasted fresh and absolutely incredible. The veggies on the sandwich were nice and fresh as well. It came with chips and sliced pickles. The total for both of our sandwiches was just under $15 including tax! This was an incredible deal. This is a great spot to grab breakfast or lunch. Beyond the food, the service is incredible. I misplaced my sunglasses as I was leaving and could not find them in the booth. My friend and I took a stroll around town for about an hour, and walked back up in front of the wooden soldier where we had parked before leaving town. One of the employees asked if I was the girl who had lost my sunglasses. She let me know that the gentleman who had served us had found them under the booth after we left and had asked to local businesses if they had seen us! She told me to go right back in, even though they had closed and and there was the gentleman who had served us with my sunglasses and a great big smile! These people were the sweetest, this absolutely made my week! Good people, good food, good location. Check it out.

We stayed at the Jackson bed and breakfast and this restaurant is attached, which worked out well. There was one night where it was too cold and we didn't want to go back out, so we stayed warm inside and walked over to O&E. Very easy and comfortable. They have a bar area and also a sitting area with a fireplace. Very cozy for a winter getaway. We had both dinner/drinks and breakfast here. Everything is curated well without losing flavor. Sometimes meals can be too fancy and you leave confused and hungry - "what the heck did I just eat and why was it only 2 tablespoons?". This place made pretty dishes with recognizable ingredients. Everyone was very kind and accommodating. The perfect, memorable spot for a vacation.

The Hamachi Crudo was a great palate cleanser as we moved onto our main course of the halibut in the house made gnocchi . Every dish was perfectly balanced in flavor and artistic in presentation. The dining room is beautiful and we look forward to next visit and maybe we'll save room for dessert . For a brand new restaurant everything was flawless, including exceptional service from Wendy and the team.
