"Dining at Edson Hill is clearly meant to be an experience. They certainly charge you for it. At those prices, execution and flavor need to be spot on, and they just ... weren't. Pumpkin soup was so bland and thick, it was like eating flavorless applesauce. Scallops were very good, and cooked nicely, but thrown on top of a pile of spaghetti squash that, again, lacked any flavor. It was clearly squash season, but not a hint of spice or nutmeg. The duck was the highlight of the meal, and the only dish that was executed correctly. Our steak frites was so disappointing. The cut should have been saved for well done, it was not a quality piece of filet, which is the wrong steak for a frites anyways. The fries were perfect and plentiful, but when the fries outshine the steak on a frites plate, that's a problem. For $52 I expect a nice cut. Everything lacked salt and pepper. Dessert was fine, but the cheesecake didn't taste of pumpkin at all, and really didn't taste of cheesecake either, more of a slightly sour mousse cake. All in all, this was a lesson. Take your money to Montreal or the Eastern Townships. They do fine dining better, cheaper, and more casually so you don't have to play along with the stilted service only to be disappointed by the food. Edson Hill is meant for an over 50 crowd who is still more impressed by an obsequious maitre d'hotel than by properly seasoned food."

"My wife grew up loving the movie, The Sound of Music. We thought it might be nice to eat at The Von Trapp Lodge. This Bierhall is not at the Lodge, but about 1/2 mile down the road from the Lodge. My son ordered a hamburger with cheese and said it was okay, but that the burger was only warm and his fries were cold. My wife ordered a salad and it was so-so. I ordered the entree with three different types of German sausage, mashed potatoes, braised cabbage, tomato salad, and pickles. All three sausages were slightly warmed and the mashed potatoes and cabbage were cold. Our server was pleasant and courteous. She was the only real highlight. I don't see myself returning to this restaurant ever again. I can't even honestly recommend it. My family was a little disappointed to say the least. Buyer beware!"

"Very disappointed that we paid $50 each tonight for a filet mignon that was very grizzly and tough! You literally had to saw thru it. My husband and I swapped because they obviously don't know what cooked medium is. And in my opinion, it was more like a New York striploin steak. We should have known something was amiss when the menu says 8ozs. And charging extra to share/split a salad? Our bill was $140.00 USD for 2 steak and 2 side salads. Let's just say I should have been wowed, but instead we walked away choosing not to have my birthday dessert. Don't recommend the steak- perhaps everything else is better."

"So the food was absolutely incredible. Truly, well plated, and the flavors worked together flawlessly. The service, however, was less than impressive. We sat and waited just shy of ten minutes before our waitress greeted us, and we got some water. Since we only ordered salads, mac and cheese, and the pretzel, the food came quickly. I did, however, notice that many of the tables were waiting a LONG time to get their food. It's an awesome spot, and I heard the menu changes up seasonally, which is cool. Make reservations and carpool as the parking lot is tiny, and when we arrived, every single parking spot was taken."

"I had a great experience during my visit, starting with the friendly gentleman who took our order and the lovely sight of the cake decorator as we entered. We ordered biscuit sandwiches—mine with ham and my husband's with sausage. The biscuit was fantastic! I wish they offered it with just jam; it was so delicious it felt like we were in the South! I thoroughly enjoyed my ham sandwich, especially because the ham was served in a style that's more off the bone rather than typical deli meat. My husband wasn’t picky about his egg, but he prefers it cooked over easy instead of as an omelet; I think it’s more about personal taste than quality. The atmosphere was pleasant and clean, contributing to a nice ambiance. I particularly appreciated how comfortable the chairs were, as seating in coffee shops can often be less than ideal for longer visits. Overall, we enjoyed our time here and look forward to returning on our next trip to Stowe."
