    We had breakfast at The Skinny Pancake today, and while the service was excellent--our food arrived in just six minutes--overall, it was an average experience. I was surprised to find that the menu is heavily focused on crepes, which I didn't expect (guess I should have looked at the menu lol). We got on the waitlist online (which we didn't need to do today) and you can place your order right from a QR code at your table. We tried the Noah's Ark, which came with eggs, sausage, and sweet crepes. One egg was over cooked (hard), but the sausage and crepes were good. The Breakfast Burrito, wrapped in a scallion crepe, fell flat flavor-wise. I ordered a side of bacon which was particularly disappointing--hard and tasteless. On the bright side, the coffees were fantastic. We enjoyed both the Cappuccino with a maple shot and the Mocha, which helped elevate the meal. Overall, I'd rate it a 3 out of 5. The food didn't live up to the good service, and I can see why other reviews mention issues with flavor and consistency.

    Absolutely delicious! New to the area and loved all that we had. Thanks for the personal recommendations and suggestions. Wish there was one near us.

    First time ever. Having breakfast during a visit to Vermont. Everything was perfection. I had a Noah's Ark - Scrambled Eggs, homemade maple sausage patty, and a Frumpled Cinnamon Crepe with real Vermont maple syrup. It was my first ever frumpled crepe, but I loved it. And I am a total sucker for real Vermont Maple Syrup. I am pretty fussy with patty sausage (I often don't like when it is too gristly). Not so with the house made maple sausage. They were pretty lean, and had a nice maple flavor. Yum. My wife had the Early Riser - Crepe with eggs and cheddar cheese (maybe Cabot cheese ??). She said both the eggs and crepe were fluffy. I was still hungry so I ordered a frumpled crepe with blueberry compote - also delicious. Service was fast, attentive and congenial (although we arrived before they got busy on a Friday morning). Just an all around perfect experience.

    I am honestly confused with how I feel about this place. My first impression was that they were great and efficient. I put my name on the waitlist via Google (not sure if you're able to do on Yelp), and they gave us an eta of 20 mins. My party of 8 decided to put two names down for a table of 4 each. We got there just on time and we were all able to get seated right away. Not only that, the host was able to accommodate for us, and she gave us a table for 8 people instead of 2 separate tables (I let the host know that we were happy with whichever was easier for the restaurant). She was super friendly and it made super easy for us. At this restaurant, you scan a QR code where you can order your own food items, pay for it yourself, and then have the food served to us. I love restaurants that do this because it makes the whole dining process more efficient/quicker. However, that is not the case here. At least not from my experience. We placed our orders in, but we ended up waiting 50 minutes for our food with nobody checking up on us. For waters, you have to go up to the water fountain yourself to fill up your own cup of water - they have cups available above the fountain. My friend ordered a cup of coffee, and we were shocked when one of the servers gave her an empty cup and told her to fill it up at the coffee station. I personally didn't care too much about doing those things, but it got to me when I realized how long we had waited for food. Majority of my friends also tipped 20% during the checkout process to place our order, which we thought was unfair, since there was little to no service whatsoever, and at that time, we didn't expect to wait ~50 minutes. And there is where my confusion comes into play - the food is not bad at all. We all really enjoyed the poutine - the ratio of gravy, cheese curds, and french fries was perfect without one overpowering another. The texture of fries were great as well. It is hard to eat poutine when the fries are too crispy. My boyfriend and I shared the chocolate monkey crepe and the Johnny crepe. The chocolate monkey crepe is a sweet crepe with bananas and Nutella. The texture of the crepe was great, and I really enjoyed the filling. But it was nothing special. I can get this anywhere without having to wait 50 minutes. As for the Johnny crepe, it is a savory crepe with maple bbq pulled pork, caramelized onions, and a side of bbq sauce. This one I will wait 50 minutes for. The Johnny has got to be the best savory crepe I've ever had!! I HIGHLY recommend this. Home fries were great as well, and my Arnold Palmer was refreshing. Overall, I don't know if I missed a memo or something, but this brunch experience felt really unorganized and discombobulated in terms of what is expected from the staff and the customer. With all that being said, I would come back whenever I am in Stowe, but it wouldn't be a priority unless I had ample time to spare.

    My husband and I went for breakfast here because the sign and advertising seemed like it was going to be a traditional crepe place to eat. My husband was very disappointed they are not like real crepes at all just a twisted pancake. So if you are looking for traditional crepes I would find somewhere else.

    Great food, relax ambiance and fast service. The menu is very different and combination of flavors are authentic and different from anywhere else. You can taste the quality of local ingredients which is a hallmark of VT anyways.

We waited about 15 minutes for a table. Not bad at all!! Our server was energetic and accommodating. She cheerfully answered all our questions and honored our request to get a margherita pizza as an appetizer. The aforementioned pizza arrived in no time. It was good. Not the best ever, but still quite solid. The star of the culinary show was the salmon entree. Both my wife and I got it and we both loved it. It was a big piece of wood fired salmon and came with a nice assortment of roasted veggies. I'm talking real veggies--zucchini, broccoli, fingerling potatoes, the works. Neither one of us are big drinkers, but there are LOTS of microbrews on tap if you're into that kind of thing. The dining room was lively without being too noisy. Both of us enjoyed hanging out there. It would be a great place to have a beer and watch baseball on TV. Will definitely return the next time I'm in town.

The poutine was very good, but I'll grant you that it's maybe hard to get that wrong - but their gravy is on point! Service was great - got there around 5:40pm on a Wednesday, so the wait was non-existent and a table for 5 was easy to accommodate. Duncan was the server, who disclosed that he was new but you wouldn't know it from how he took orders and brought food out. Even threw him a curve by asking for the steak frites with an additional side of brussel sprouts, which he handled no problem - even though there weren't any sides I saw on the menu. Steak was medium rare and perfectly seasoned, and I think I mentioned the chimichurri but it deserves additional mention. Maybe you're wondering about beverages. The maple lemonade is great - it leans harder on the tart side and there are sweeter options around (Cliff House) but I love a lemonade that tastes... lemony. Pineapple cherry punch was also a hit - but that's secondhand hearsay, unlike my direct opinion on the chimichurri - which I would drink if I could. Definitely check this place out. The table near ours seemed to immensely enjoy their meal and also get great service from Duncan.

They have large parking lot so we parked and head on over to the entrance. It's amazing large establishment with wooden lodge style interiors and some outside patio seatings as well. They have a huge stone furnace for the pizza. We were sat down right away as it wasn't too busy. We got the pick two lunch where you can choose 2 between soup, salad and mini flatbread. I ended up picking vermont maple sausage flatbread and soup. Soup was tomato base with some cheese. Strong tomato flavor and some acidity with saltiness of cheese coming through. It was good but maybe a little bit of cream or milk might balanced it out better. The pizza was pretty good. Can see the char from wood fire. Saltiness of cheese and hint of sweetness and savoriness from maple sausage pairs well together. Dough was bice and chewy and crispy on the crust Service was good and server was nice and attentive. Overall it's a solid place to enjoy wood fired pizza made with local ingredients. Good place for lunch or dinner. If you go for lunch Monday through Thursday the take two lunch option is a good value.
