We were seated quickly although I’d recommend making a reservation. We didn’t but they were able to squeeze us in but I felt like it caused issues for them in the end. Our server was friendly and attentive and very genuine. I ordered the clam chowder, which was tasteful and packed with plenty of clam. I also got the shrimp scampi which honestly could have had more flavor. It didn’t even really have a garlic taste to it though you could see garlic clove pieces. There was a decent amount of shrimp that had a nice smoke after taste to them. In the end this plate was $19. My boyfriend got the surf and turf which came with a side of mashed potatoes and it looked liked steamed spinach. The surf literally only included two small pieces of shrimp and two okay sized pieces of steak. But for the $24 you pay for the plate, it was not worth it. We ended the night with blueberry cheesecake and cream puffs. You get a personal sized cheesecake which is nice, but unfortunately the blueberries on top were not that good, thankfully they can be scraped off! The cream puffs were fresh and delicious, and topped with melted dark chocolate. In the end, I’d maybe come back to try the lobster roll.

Perfect, casual dining, and the maple Manhattans are a must also the Raspberry margaritas! As advertised the lobster rolls were awesome but the French onion soup and bacon and leek flatbread was amazing! Our host Selma the co owner with her husband, came out to visit with us to insure everything was fine. Two thumbs up and will definitely be back if we travel through the area again!

I don’t understand why this place has a rating of only 4.1. it really should be a five. Atmosphere is early American, which is appropriate for this part of Vermont. The service is very good. Both the presentation and the taste of the food is what I would expect at a very expensive big city restaurant but much less expensive. I had the sweet corn and scallop risotto with crispy kale which was just amazing, never had anything like this and I would love to have it on a regular basis. My wife had the lobster roll which was also probably one of the best lobster rolls ever. My daughter had the linguini carbonara which, if not quite as good as the lobster roll and especially the sweet corn and scallop rosado, was excellent.

Worth a try! 🙂 Nothing special enough for us to return. If you like quiet dining in old fashion building, this is a place to go!

The food was very good except the clam chowder, and if you’re from New England, you know good chowder. It had no clam chowder flavor and was artificially thickened. After tasting one bite, I told the wait staff and her manager that I didn’t like it. After receiving the bill, it was still on there. I asked the manager if she could take it off because I didn’t eat it. She said” will everyone else likes it” and offered to take half off. I told her I’ve never been to a restaurant that if you don’t like something they didn’t take it off. She did so begrudgingly. It’s unfortunate that the service level was unacceptable, because the food was decent.

Went on a Saturday night July 1st, called ahead for a reservation, no problem. Got there and parked and right off the bat you know your going to have a Reto, older style dinner experience. Seated pretty much right away, kinda seemed understaffed, but really nice people. Ordered two apps, two main dishes and two specialty drinks. Food was good, drinks were very good and again very pleasant staff. Total bill 83.00 not including the tip we gave. The building vibe, outdated, but it has that old world mountain retreat vibe going on. We had fun

I can wrap this review up in just a few words but , I can’t. If you have followed any of my reviews, you will clearly be chomping at the bit to try this GEM . I can let you know I have rated many eateries and , the new England house has ranked in my top 3 . Well done to this wonderful Vermont restaurant . My wife and I have traveled to many states here in the USA . We dine quite a bit in all areas and types of cuisine. From the time you walk in you are taken to a place where you just know you can relax , let your stress go . I’m sure y’all are saying I wish this man would just get to the meat and vegetables about this place . Well, ok . Here is some of the highlights that will hopefully grab your attention and , have you sitting at one of there tables . I did ask if it would be OK to mention names and , was told , that would be great . So here we go .

What a nice and cozy restaurant. Coming from Connecticut and on our way up to Hinsdale NH. I saw this online. They had a special mothers day menu, but still had a nice selection to choose from. Food was hot and prompt, server was attentive. All in all a nice dinner. Glad we stopped by.
