This little New England restaurant, though, still had first-come, first-serve seating, and parking lot a bit crowded but found a spot at a corner to park. They originally had a 2hr wait for 14 ppl (we had a few tables ahead of us) but ended up giving us two tables if we were ok to cram together, which we were - super grateful for that! Didn't realize it before we went, but this shop was Kelly Clark's parents' restaurant, and the memorabilia was cool. Cheap beers and drinks, wings were ok (wings needed to be crispier and have more spicy buffalo sauce, the bbq version was just ok). The chowder was thinner compared to Anchor Seafood down the way, and the tuna nachos were ok (on light puffed rice chips w/ some seaweed salad to the side, mayo or similar across the top could've been better with some yuzu or ponzu sauce instead). Fried pickles were large and great, though, as were the fried cheese and pretzels. The truffle cheese fries were heavy but still needed more cheese and table didn't enjoy it as much. St. Louis Ribs were ok, but the Short Rib Stroganoff and the Lobster Mac N' Cheese were table favorites - and warmed up really well the next day with the generous portion helping balance the cost as it was basically two meals in one. Game and fun bathroom signs in the waiting area upfront. Staffers were busy but definitely worked to satisfy our tables' orders and needs and kept cheery while at it. Very tight seating spaces so make a note if you're on the bigger side, it may not be as comfortable depending on the seat you get. A bit spendier (there's food tax, LWB tax, and town tax...) but no credit card surcharge. Overall I'm giving this a 4 star b/c of the service. Food I've had better, but service was very helpful.

TC's in Dover, Vermont is everything you want in a local spot -- excellent food, fast service, and…read moregenuinely kind people. We visited on a very busy weekend in January. The food came out quickly and was delicious, and the service was friendly and efficient. You can tell this is a place that's well run and cares about its customers. But what truly set TC's apart was Lauren, the manager. After our visit, my young son accidentally left behind a backpack that holds a lot of sentimental value to us. Lauren personally took the time to locate it and then mailed it back to us in New Jersey at no charge. That level of thoughtfulness and care is incredibly rare and meant so much to our family. We will absolutely be back anytime we're in the area, and we can't recommend TC's highly enough -- not just for the food, but for the people. This is how you create lifelong customers. Thank you, Lauren and TC'

The forests surrounding the restaurant are lovely, and sometimes you might even see a bear! But the food is what sets this place apart. I had the duck, and it was perfectly prepared. The skin was crispy, the meat was moist, and the wild cherry sauce was a perfect tartness and acidity to offset the rich flavor of the duck. The salad that came with the entree was also noteworthy. The little leaf lettuce was crisp and fresh, and it was perfectly dressed. Also, the dessert was truly unexpectedly good. It's rare a place can do such a good job with both the food and dessert, but such is the case at Two Tannery. I tried both the warm berry crumble and the coffee crisp tart. Both were elegantly presented, and the flavors were rich, balanced, and delightful.

Charming historic house, service was great, and food was delicious. I'm obsessed with escargot and mussels so I was excited it was on the menu and did not disappoint.

If you told me I'd find some of the best seafood of my life in landlocked Southern Vermont, I…read moreprobably wouldn't have believed you--but Anchor Seafood House & Grille is the real deal. This place has been a Wilmington staple since 1997, and you can tell they've spent the last nearly 30 years perfecting the craft. The atmosphere is incredible. While the original 1850s building was lost to a fire in 2010, the current space is a beautiful, faithful replica that feels historic and cozy. It's the perfect spot for a post-ski dinner or a summer night out. Here's the breakdown of what you need to order: The Chowder: This is proper New England clam chowder. It's thick, rich, and loaded with clams--not just a bowl of potatoes and heavy cream. It's the ultimate comfort food. Steamers: You have to start with the steamers. They are clean, sweet, and served the traditional way with a side of broth and drawn butter. It's a messy, delicious classic that they do perfectly here. Whole Belly Clams: These are the gold standard. They're lightly breaded, perfectly fried, and have that sweet, briny pop you usually only find at a roadside shack on the Maine coast. If you're a fan of "the bellies," don't skip these. The Lobster: I went for the steamed lobster, and it was impeccable. Succulent chunks of fresh meat and just the right amount of butter. It tasted like it was caught that morning. It's rare to find a spot that balances a "fancy night out" feel with such unpretentious, high-quality food. Whether you're a local or just passing through for the foliage, make sure you stop here.

There was live music which was a nice touch. The service is also great: our waiter was very friendly and prompt. The food is uneven. I got the ribs (which they are known for) and they were fantastic. The meat was tender and smoky, and the sauce was fantastic. There was also a lot of them, and they came with some very crisp fries, cole slaw, and corn. Others in my party got the French onion soup, and they didn't like it (apparently it was bland and not made with a rich beef stock). Someone else got the turkey club, and thought it was amazing. So choose wisely, or get the ribs.

We stopped in during their opening month to see if it lived up to the hype, and it's safe to say this is exactly what the valley needed. The Atmosphere The first thing you notice is the arcade. It's a total game-changer if you have kids (or if you're just a competitive adult). It keeps the vibe lively without feeling like a chaotic playground, and it's a great way to kill time while waiting for a table or hanging out after a day on the slopes. The Food We sampled a bit of everything, and for a brand-new kitchen, they are already hitting their stride: The Wings: These were the standout. Crispy skin, juicy interior, and the sauces actually have some personality. Definitely get an order for the table. Roasted Chicken: This is the ultimate comfort dish. It was perfectly seasoned and felt like a high-end home-cooked meal. If you want something hearty but not "pub heavy," this is the move. Tenderloin Sandwich: Wow. The steak was incredibly tender (as promised) and served on a fresh roll that didn't fall apart. It's a massive step up from your standard steak sandwich.

The chopped mushrooms on top were a nice touch and added a bit of earthy flavor to almost every bite.

If you think that you will be getting regular old bar/pub food, you will be surprised. The magic is in the seasonal specials offerings. We ordered a caprese salad made from locally grown tomatoes and couldn't believe our tastebuds. The mushroom toast was so good that my teen let my try a tiny bite and then devoured the entire rest of it. The pasta special with pork ragu was super traditional tasting and came with a ricotta topping and crispy breadcrumbs. They also have pub items like mozzarella sticks and burgers, but even the Boozer burger was excellent. The service was also excellent. Maggie was knowledgeable about the menu and based on her excited attitude about the specials, we ordered almost one of each. For dessert we had the beignets. I have had my share of beignets and these were the most crispy, light, fluffy, airy and delicious beignets I have ever had in my 53 years of living. The ambiance is tavern-like. The booths are very upright. Not the most comfy, but didn't affect my rating.
