The venue has such a great small, friendly feel to it, the staff were very friendly both visits, and this time they had live music as well. Stop by and try a pint - they have several styles to choose from, including a great NEIPA and bottle saison that I took to go.

The service is friendly. Brandon was my server for the evening, and he did not miss a beat. He was very attentive and provided great advice on the menu. The bees knees cocktail was so balanced, and one of the best tasting ones compared to so many restaurants that make this overly lemony or too sweet with honey. When I was asked if I would like bread, I asked what, if anything, was special about it. Brandon says, welll the bread is good but the highlight is the chimichurri sauce. Immediately intrigued, I found the dipping sauce to be less chimichurri and more like a delicious salad dressing but it was strangely addictive to dip bread in. The flash grilled Caesar had a delicious homemade dressing and briny sardines, very good as well. For dinner, I ordered the char-grilled teres major steak, paired with malbec. The steak came covered with an au poivre sauce, cooked perfectly medium, and so juicy. This was complemented by roasted carrots, and potabello mushroom, onion, and potato hash. The potatoes were large, crispy cubes. There was nothing about this meal that was less than stellar. I highly recommend it with the malbec! For how amazing this restaurant is, I was surprised that the price wasn't goug-ey. I wouldn't hesitate to come here for a great night out.

Ascutney for a week and decided to have a low-key night and have dinner at the onsite restaurant, The Maple Kitchen. It was a slow Sunday night and no reservations needed. The restaurant only had the bar tender manning the bar and the tables. He was very nice but the wait was long... luckily we were in vacation mode so we didn't mind the wait. While we were waiting for the food, we were enjoying the Moscow Mule made by the bartender. He poured all his drinks to the rim, it was great! They only had 2 things on tap: Switchback ale and Harpoon hard cider,but they were solid brews. It took about 45 minutes before our entrees were served and we started to think this may be a mistake. Boy were we wrong in the best way. The lobster bisque dip came with 2 rolls of warm bread already buttered on the outside...soft center with the creamy dip spread over it was so scrumptious. The lamb chop was cooked to perfection and had a orzo chickpea side that can be a main dish in itself. The duck was cooked with crispy skin on, very tender and also came with a delicious rice pilaf. We also had the half chicken breast dish which was perfectly seasoned, juicy! Came with a mushroom and spinach stir fry and mashed potatoes was more like creamy scalloped potato. We were completely stuffed but wanted to try a dessert because the food was just amazing. We shared a raspberry white chocolate cheesecake that did not make it in my photo because we finished it so quickly. Definitely come here, you will not be disappointed.

The short ribs, were a little on tough side, and lacked flavor, the portion size more consistent with a small plate menu than entree. Good restaurants are in demand in this area; however, this was another missed opportunity.

It's also so picturesque - walking in from the outside - during a snowfall. I have fond memories of the dishes I've enjoyed here. The service is rapid and earnest. The ambience here is subtly-modern tavern. The first dish they do well is the basic pepperoni wood-fired pizza. It has a very substantial-by-way-of-sturdy crust: I want to say there is a dusting of corn meal beneath the bottom of the pizza, though not sure. Maybe that is why they name one of their featured pizza's, "Dust Pan." Poor Thom's pizza leftovers have been my sustenance, at times. My favorite pizza here is the Sugar Shack with Granny Smith apples, caramelized onions, smoked bacon and a maple syrup drizzle. This one is a real treat which I wish I could have all of the time. Seriously. I also love the Shepherd's Pie, here, which I don't see on the current online menu. They might prepare it for you, anyway, if they have the ingredients that evening. It's a refined take on the classic Irish pie with ultra-diced meat and veggies and exquisite flavors from the combination and seasonings. It's also the most gorgeous Shepherd's Pie I've seen. The samosas are awesome, crispy and substantial, though I did not have the best experience with the spicy green chutney once. Their buffalo and sweet Thai Chili wings rock! Favorite. Love them for how crispy they are. The burgers are good though not as memorable as the previous dishes I've mentioned. Their fries are very good especially with honey mustard. It's like you can't get enough of them! The beer and drink selection is ample. Go to Thom's!
