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

We finished ordering and sat down to wait for our food. A few minutes later the woman who took our order came to our table and said "You ordered truffle fries, correct?" To which we answered yes. She then said "well, truffle fries are $4 extra and I only charged you for regular, you'll need to pay $4 more if you still want them." We paid the extra, but I felt like the cost should have been eaten by them since they screwed up.

Plenty of way off street parking, nice grassy area, and plenty of tables with shade. The gals behind the window seemed very nice, and polite. We placed our order, and received it in maybe 10 minutes. Food was very good, great onion rings, really good hot dogs, and the burger was great!!!. Had the scallops the next day, still really good. OK, time to leave. We both used the rest room to wash our hands from the food. We were both impressed with how clean it was, definitely a plus. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. Great road side joint, they definitely have my future business, I'm done with Scarlottas, read my review of them.

Solid bar food after a long day of skiing. My group of 5 waited about 45 minutes on a Friday night…read morebut we grabbed some drinks at the bar and listened to the live music while we waited. Appetizers: Cornbread, brisket nachos, Caesar salad, gochujang rub chicken tenders and Mac and cheese. Everything was solid and the portions were pretty large, so we were decently full by the time our entrees came. Entrees: pork belly tacos, brisket tacos, salmon tacos and the prime rib wrap. I loved the prime rib wrap - it was well stuffed with meat and the outside was crispy from the grill. Dessert: the brookie (brownie + cookie) skillet was delicious! We left with lots of leftovers despite being extremely full! Service was friendly and quick also.

The salmon was flavorful and perfectly cooked with a crispy texture. I was pretty impressed at how big the portion of salmon for each taco was. We'd definitely stop by here again in the future for dinner. By the time we left, the dinner rush was in full effect with people waiting for a seat and I can see why!

They offer lots of different styles and you can order a flight of four, which is great. My favorite was the Pumpkin Ale. They also have several different local wines available.
