Just what we were looking for. Nice dinner menu, reasonable prices and VT ambiance. We had the specials and both were great. A flaming chocolate cake was to die for! Great service too!

Good ambiance, service and food. We were lucky to sit outside under a blooming tree and the age of the place is enough to stop in for a drink, app or meal. We'll be back.

Across the board this was a home run! Cozy, great food, and an attentive staff. bravo.

First time there! Great place for a cozy intimate dinner. The vibe, service and food were all amazing. Will be coming back!

Such a classic Vermont homey and cozy restaurant. Loved the vibes. Was happy they could accommodate gluten free easily and even had their own gluten free biscuits. Unfortunately the gluten free biscuits had dairy so I couldn't eat them though and I was surprised the server brought them after I explained my allergies. Glad I double checked before eating. Ended up getting the pot roast without the gravy which was very good. Again just overall great vibes in a historic setting. Would come back

We had such a great dinner at Ye Olde Tavern. It is absolutely beautiful and looks so authentically historic. We came at Christmas time and it was nicely decorated. We started with the 1790 Ale and Maple Martini. Both were good, the martini was very strong. The cranberry bread was really delicious. We had the crab stuffed mushrooms as an appetizer, which was such a good start. The salad was great with the blue cheese crumbles. We then got the Filet Medium Rare & the Lobster & Bacon Mac and Cheese. Everything was cooked perfectly. The service was also very friendly. I'd recommend here for a nice night out to a different type of restaurant than the usual!

We really enjoyed this place. The food, service and environment was wonderful. The Tavern is a real throwback, serving since 1790, that's a lot of history. For starters we had the elk sausage which was absolutely delicious! I have never eaten elk before and it was so flavorful. In addition we also had the Brie which was good. I ordered the pumpkin bisque which was so good. My girlfriend ordered the duck and I ordered the pot roast. The pot roast was ok but my girlfriend really enjoyed her duck. Our server Jessie was really good, quick and attentive. She helped with suggestions from the menu.

I love old houses and Ye Olde Tavern gives all the cozy feels of an old historic home. And the menu is exactly what you would expect to find at a quaint vintage restaurant. We sat in a cute little private room which might have been a study or mudroom back in the day. Our server was quick and friendly! We started with crabmeat stuffed mushrooms, which reminded me of the ones my mom used to make in the 70s. Very good! We had the lobster bisque which was wonderful. I had the chicken pot pie because I had a chill and just wanted some good old comfort food! I appreciated that our server told me that their pot pie did not have a pastry crust but rather had a topping of mashed potatoes. I still opted for it and was glad that I did. My husband had the NY strip and he was happy with it. The veggie sides were a little skimpy but still good. For dessert we had a very good blueberry tart with whipped cream, which was soo good! Loved our time at Ye Olde Tavern! It reminded me very much of the 1640 Hart House in Ipswich, Massachusetts.

We ordered the cider chicken breast and the Alfredo pasta. Both were amazing. The mocha chocolate bombe was also so good and very boozy which I loved. We were there around 6 and managed to get a table without a reservation but it filled up quickly as we waited for drinks so if you're a larger group I'd make a reservation as this place seems popular. And I see why! We have other places on our list to check out this week but I'm hoping we can squeeze in one more visit because it was so enjoyable. Highly recommend

We are in town for a wedding, out from California. We had traveled all day, from Newton, NJ through Albany, NY to pick up the cake(s), arriving at the Equinox Resort at 4pm and quite hungry. I always look for restaurants on Yelp, and saw the high rating and number of reviews. When I see one star reviews, I always check the stats - # of friends, # of reviews and # of photos. I tend to disregard all those with low or no stats. It is almost as if those accounts are created solely for some personal issue. We arrived with no reservation and felt fortunate to be seated at all. We were given a choice of inside or outside. Though the weather was perfect, we selected inside and were walked back to a back room with a view of the outside seating. Melanie took wonderful care of us. Katie ordered a glass of Sauvignon Blanc and I tried for the first time an old fashion. The meal began with delightful cranberry fritters and maple butter, the fresh salad was small, yet complex, lightly dressed with balsamic vinaigrette and served with warm rolls and butter. Katie basically ordered a Thanksgiving meal - Roast Tom Turkey with mashed potatoes, stuffing, gravy and cranberry sauce. I ordered "Not your mom's chicken pot pie", it was a cottage pie with chicken. Came out so hot, I had to wait to let it cool a bit. But, oh so good! Katie asked if I was going to lick the dish. I replied, "Don't tempt me." I don't know that we will ever be back here, but if you have a chance, MAKE A RESERVATION and enjoy! The building is very historic and the history is documented in a page of the wine list. Amazing. Such places may be common out here but in California, they are quite rare, which made the experience all the more enjoyable. Apologies for the lack of photos. I've been forgetting at each place this week.
