    We were told by someone we rode a ski lift with that Saw Mill was the best restaurant near Mt. Snow. We tried Hermitage Inn and Two Tannery Road both highly rated on line, but were very disappointed. After those experiences we kept our expectations in check but were blown away by the cuisine at Saw Mill. The Crispy Duck strips were very original, the duck was just that very crispy while being a perfect medium rare and the flavor was outrageous, we could have had 3 orders of them. The Moules Frites were delicious as was the Beef Carpaccio, but the star of the night was the Cornmeal crusted Cod in a Bacon & Shrimp Chowder with Leeks. One of the best dishes I have had anywhere! Everything was delicious, the service was knowledgeable, engaging, and friendly and the ambiance was warm, charming and inviting. We can’t wait to go back again!

    The ambience of the restaurant is charming and cozy. Exactly what we were looking for, for Thanksgiving. We were disappointed with the food. The turkey was fatty and the gravy was cold. With the exorbitant pricing, we expected more. We won't be returning to this restaurant.
