Romain D.February 16, 2017Legit French bistro! Authentic French food, great chef, service, and overall atmosphere. Boeuf bourguignon highly recommended there!Upvote8Downvote
Upstairs With the Xmas lights inside and out it feels like you are in a fancy tree house. AJ created a wonderful fig and truffle appetizer, bijou and tomato toast, delicious! Candles are anti theft.Upvote4Downvote
Vanessa BorgesSeptember 28, 2016Delicious filet with salad verte. Grilled beef tenderloin with port demi glace, served with maple balsamic mixed greens and lemonade house. 🍽

William NelliganSeptember 26, 2014French onion soup. Get whatever else you want: the grouper reuben, the homemade falafel, whatever. Just make sure you have a cup of the French onion soup.UpvoteDownvote- EmilyDecember 4, 2015Must get duck confit poutine. Great selection of cheeses (especially if you like goat cheese). $1 oysters during HH.

Sweet potato fries to die for, love that duck taco salad, decent beer on tap, fun to watch the dogs and their owners from the terrasse on Church Street, this is all worth the day trip from Montréal!Upvote1Downvote
Christopher SikoraJuly 16, 2011The best escargot in New England, hands down. Make sure to call days ahead when UVM is in session (Sept - May) because this restaurant frequents parents and visitors from all over.Upvote1Downvote
Joanne KarunakaranDecember 23, 2014The Glühwein, or Glög - nice sweet and spiced wine will warm you to the core - just like at the German Weinachtsmärkte!UpvoteDownvote
For a nice treat for yourself or a nice meal for two, this is the place to go. Sometimes the staff is a lil snobby at the front though...UpvoteDownvote
Appetizers? The poutine with duck is really good and they pair well with the beef and shrimp skewersUpvote1Downvote
Cassio DaCunhaMarch 15, 2022Get the bistro dinner from 2-5, Tuesday to Saturday. Soup or salad, and an entree for $22. Great deal!UpvoteDownvote

Bistro $15 Dinner also runs Sunday through Thursday from 9-10pm for the night owls. Generous portions and attentive service, the Cavatappi Carbonara is phenomenal!Upvote1Downvote

CortneyMay 25, 2015Buck a shuck has changed.... M-W 3-5:30 no exceptions even when they seated you at 5:20 and you didn't see a server till after the promo ended. Ugh.....UpvoteDownvote

Johnny BaryahFebruary 26, 2023Overpriced menu. Filet Mignon came overcooked with 100 other things on the plate, it looked like a landfill. Mediocre Burger for $32, bland and cooked inconsistently…UpvoteDownvote

"ooo-wee! The Chai is spicy ... and delicious. Try it iced with a shot of espresso."
Casey Palmer - 5.8
"They never cook real food on the weekends and on weekdays they stop cooking pretty early in the evening as well. Their Spokane wrap was really good and their vegan station!"
Rachel Hawkins - 7.4
"Really good food. Service could have been a little faster. But can't dock them for that since they were really busy. Chicken caesar wrap was delicious and their Fries are really good."
