★★★★★ 5.0 Ken Crites · Mar 2026

Wow, either I forgot how great this place is or they have really upped their game in the last 2 years. We had an AWESOME early dinner here Saturday just before the big crowd arrived. Delicious bibimbap, great brussel sprouts and the in-house beers (try the Imperial Stout) are fantastic. Also a cool vibe and friendly service. Ask about the canned beer, too.

This is just the perfect elevated pub space. The menu had a lot of familiar standards with some other more unexpected/adventurous fare. I had the French onion soup and BiBimBap and both were very well done! The soup was chock full of onions, the bread was the perfect texture for ease of breaking off chunks with a spoon, and the scallions on top were so fresh! The bibimbap was such an amazing mix of spices - so so so flavorful! 10/10 would come here again. Our server was super awesome and gave us a great recommendation for breakfast the next morning!

Great food/drinks, service, and atmosphere. Perf pitstop for us on the way from Mt Snow to Stowe Mtn. All the dishes we ordered were hearty, tasty, and hit the spot on a cold winter eve - mushroom toast, maple brussels sprouts, the Cuban, pork belly bibimbap. Order the dessert even if you’re stuffed! 📷: maple crème brûlée

Some of the best fish tacos I’ve ever had. We’d rate the burger 7/10. The edamame hummus was such a different appetizer and tasty! Service was lacking a little but understandable since it was busy. Tables were disgustingly sticky. Our drinks kept getting stuck. We almost split them trying to scrape them off the table.

So good! Just so good. Oskar the bartender had great recommendations. The food was superb (soy braised pork belly bibimbap and an extravagant Cuban!!) and bobcat beer rocks. Really enjoyed the American IPA
