   This was a weird experience. Sunday night the weekend between Christmas and New Years and there was almost no one around. Maybe 10 people at the bar, which was lively and appeared to get drinks and food quickly, but only 2 tables of 4 or fewer people in the dining room. We arrived, and it was 5 minutes before anyone acknowledged us at all. Finally the bartender came around and confirmed our reservation and sat us, without menus. Another few minutes and the waitress said she would be right there. We were given waters, and a another 5 minutes before we had menus. The drinks were slow to arrive, but the broccoli cheddar soup came out quickly, and was absolutely delicious! We waited another 40 minutes for our dinners - both the same pesto linguini with grilled chicken. I was underwhelmed: the chicken was grilled and tasty, but the pesto was flat, the linguini undercooked, and the dish needed finishing with a touch of cream or parmigiano. It was also served with summer squash and zucchini - an odd touch of summer for a holiday weekend. We were given a free dessert for our wait times, and the waitstaff was friendly albeit missing. Probably won't revisit this one, even though I am a local and we have a lack of restaurants to choose from.

    Excellent service in this rustic VT setting next to Magic Mountain. Awesome food and drinks. Very reasonable prices! We will be back. Looking forward to the winter months when it will be a little busier. I definitely recommend reservations since there is a limited number of tables in the dining room.
