The food was amazing. Not what you would expect in the middle of rural Vermont. Totally recommend! The cocktails were also quite delicious.

We had an incredible dinner at The Hermitage Inn after a freezing cold ski day. We were seated by the fireplace and the warm bread was a welcomed start. My daughter had the hermitage burger and I had the sirloin with Yukon mashed potatoes. We ended the evening with a warm chocolate chip cookie with ice cream. While we were seated we chatted with one of the owners and then got to see the incredible wine cellar. It doesn’t get better…

The atmosphere is lovely; one of the nicest places in the valley. The food is good but not as good as it used to be, especially for the prices The “Dover sole” didn’t seem to be actual Dover sole which for $68 was disappointing. Not bad but certainly not worth $68. There were a few errors with our order which our server recognized when they were delivered which we appreciated.
