They were voted 2019 #2 Best Restaurant in the Rutland area and I think they were robbed. My husband began the night by choosing a menu option that allows customers to buy the back of the house staff a round of cream ale which causes them to erupt in kitchenware percussion and celebratory hooting. The Potato Leek soup was velvety and delicious. They served us the best fried Brussel Sprouts that I have ever eaten. They were crispy, well seasoned and the aioli was also good but they didn't even need it. I am not much of a drinker but their specialty margarita was so well made (and strong) that had I not already gotten quite precious after the first one, I would have ordered another. My husband liked the cauliflower, squash mac and cheese special. My mushroom ravioli with capers and cream sauce were also delicious. We finished up with a house made lemon-lime cheese cake. Usually, citrus is not welcome in my dessert. I prefer chocolates, cookies and caramels in my cheesecake. I want to know that my Diabetic Ketoacidosis Emergency admission to a backwater hospital was well earned. However, it was delicious. The service was friendly and unpretentious, in my adorable, slightly drunken state I became absolutely thrilled when one of the waitresses was publicly gifted with a Plague Doctor Squishable (look them up). I ordered mine in September and cannot wait to receive it. I felt an immediate, margarita and plague doctor inspired, affinity We'll be back

The food tasted amazing and was clearly prepared with care and quality ingredients.

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. It must be that this restaurant is no longer "welcoming" I a straight Christian couple. Too bad. It used to be a nice place..
