Best food we ate in Stowe, VT so far, by a long shot. Absolutely fantastic food here. The…read moreatmosphere was warm and cozy. The wine selection was quite good. Every bit of food was prepared just right. We did eat a pineapple salad that was so fresh and crisp and not overly dressed, which was on the Specials menu. I also ate the Halibut for my main course, which was also on the Specials menu. This was nicely done as well. My wife ate the pork tenderloin, from the regular menu, and it was delicious. The coup de grâce was the dessert. The ice cream of the day, which was an maple gingersnap flavor was outstanding, and carrot cake was hands down the best I have had in my life! The service was good, fast and efficient. If you are looking for a very good, but not inexpensive meal, we would absolutely recommend Harrison's.

Luckily we got seat straight away. We had one salad, one veg pizza and one sushi ordered and fist 2 item came pretty soon. We really liked both salad and pizza. Vegetables felt so fresh and taste was amazing. Sushi came after a while and it was little fancy as it was lit on the table to cook inside food. Taste was good but slightly burnt feeling because of fire. I will try other one next time. Interior is nice and have lot of space. We were seated on covered patio and next to us was a small stream flowing, that was nice touch. Enough of parking is available outside and it's free.

We love seafood, and are pretty picky about it. Their seafood tower appetizer blew us away. Excellent oysters, shrimp cocktail, and lobster. Their yellowtail crudo and yellowtail dumplings in a soy sauce likewise were crowd pleasers. Their entrees were very good - especially the trout dishes. Service could have been slightly better, but was reasonably solid. Overall it was an excellent experience and made for a great holiday celebration.

Located in the Courtyard (Marriott) Hotel, only a stone's throw from Lake Champlain and close to the center of Burlington, VT, the restaurant sits just off the lobby. I made a dinner reservation and we was seated by the window with a view of the park with the lake beyond. Off to a good start. My Dirty Martini was spot-on. The perfect balance of Tito's and brine. Only missing the 'bleu' cheese olives. I often order a second appetizer as my entree. My starter was carpaccio that was outstanding. The microgreens were a nice touch. The mussels (appetizer) that I chose for my main course were small in size but ample in portion and were the perfect choice for me. My husband chose the cheese platter for his starter. It was disappointing. Two slices of bleu cheese. Should have been three different ones for $15. And no VT cheddar? Not much imagination here. His Steak Frites was OK; the quality of the beef could have been better. We shared the spinach watermelon salad which was fresh and delicious. Service was friendly and attentive. Overall, we liked this restaurant and will return.

The food service was a bit slow but the food was very good. Our waitress was really nice and apologized for how long the food took. I like that you can sit on the patio or inside.

I'd definitely go back, especially cuz they're walking distance to Burlington Bay, my favorite creemee place.) Parking is free in the garage if you go to the restaurant.

Sitting outside gave us a gorgeous view of the waterfront, and the round tables with deck chairs were comfortable and perfect for letting everyone in our party talk to each other. I shared the lobster roll and fish and chips, and both were prepared well and came with a generous amount of french fries. The lobster roll was marked as market price ($34 when we went) and was about 3oz of lobster meat. It wasn't the largest restaurant markup I've seen, but it also wasn't a great deal. The fish and chips was a fish filet covered in bread crumbs instead of the usual thick batter. It felt similar to fish sticks was a good balance of tender on the inside and seasoned on the outside. I would come again for the lovely views and to try their other menu items. A few members of our party got tacos which looked good.

I've been coming to Koto since I was a kid and always enjoyed the pomp and circumstance. If you…read morehave kids or a special occasion it's definitely worth considering and doing the hibachi "show" and trying to catch some of those flying veggies in your mouth. Service is also quick and I think food is dependably pretty good. I like that the grill meals come with salad (dressing is quite tasty) and soup and that portions are very generous for whatever you get hibachi wise. I got the sea scallops and steak combo. They had heard salmon but didn't have any issue when I clarified on my intended order and ended up getting both. Everything was delicious and it's nice that the meal, which can be meat heavy, also comes with a good amount of veggies. One of my kids had their own version of the hibachi and enjoyed their salmon while the other one got the teriyaki non-hibachi, which has a slightly different flavor. We also shared some sake bottles and nigiri. Maybe it shouldn't come as a surprise that our bill as a family of four was over $150 without tip, but it does make going out to Koto more than once or twice a year tough. I noticed the same items for their lunch menus were considerably cheaper so that might be the play if you are flexible timing wise.

Poor service and mediocre food. Really that sums up the whole experience…read more Our server Jeff took our drink order in a rushed fashion and then Was off. While we waited for our drinks to arrive, we all perused the menu for last minute additions and there was Jeff asking to take our appetizer and food order. Maybe he was trying to be efficient but really, it was just rushed. Didn't see him for a longer than usual wait and then drinks, soups and salads came altogether and our 'chef' arrived and started setting up. Jeff returned and when we asked a question of him, his answer was curt (rude really) like he expected us to know the answer. He never returned to fill up empty water glasses, ask for drink refills etc. This was supposed to be a celebratory night, several birthdays in our party of 6. Getting him to show up and be helpful without attitude was like pulling teeth and his customer service skills were lacking and felt like he was doing us a favor waiting on us. The food was mediocre at best. Our hibachi orders comprised of upcharged Filets with seafood. And while I don't mind paying a premium, I should get the premium food to go along with that price, sadly all of the steaks were overcooked and the seafood was dry and rubbery, tough to chew! Two of the guests actually spit out the seafood as inedible. The steaks were ordered either rare or medium and sadly, everyone got well-done. The seafood was left on the cooktop far too long as well! Overall, the experience lacked the enthusiasm of someone happy that we were there paying bills. At $450 I expected much more. I've had better meals here, this was not one of them! Not really interested in returning any time soon.
