Katie’s guidebook to Southern Vermont
Food/Drinking
This is the closest restaurant to us. The food here is great. If there are only 2 of you, we recommend sitting at the bar with Kirk (you won't need a reservation). Also, make sure to check that it is open as they sometimes close for weddings. If you are a party larger than 2, we recommend making reservations online.
