Best WLM Reviews
Good food and fast service in a laid back atmosphere. We went for dinner and while there was a wait things moved quickly and we didn't wait as long as predicted. The service was prompt and friendly and the food came out quickly. Everything was hot and fresh and delicious. Their house made fries are excellent and they have some great spins on old classics. The place is family friendly with kids menus as well as a great selection of adult meals and drinks. A great place for a casual dinner.
Highly recommended this cozy, upscale pub for a great meal after a hard day on the slopes. Excellent wood fired oven puts out some amazing food like the salmon pesto with roasted vegetables. Get there early, the place is very busy. We sat at the bar, by the oven. Very friendly service.
Great spot in Stowe. Went for late lunch around 2pm on Sunday in October. We're busy but easily sat party of two.
They have a wood fired oven, number of items on the menu are smoked and/wood fired and marked accordingly on the menu.
We had the fire roasted mussels, smoked dry rub wings, bbq pulled pork sandwhich with fries, and the hellbound pizza (pepperoni with hot honey).
The service was attentive and good, the food came out ????. Well seasoned tasty food. The drink and beer menu was extensive, including a few non-alcoholic options.
Overall had a good time and will be back when in the area.
What was expected to be an ok dinner turned into WOW!!! The specialty drinks, beers, appetizers, entrees and desserts were unique, creative, artistic and absolutely delicious!! Relaxed cozy atmosphere to enjoy after a day in the snow!! Photos: chicken pot pie, lasagna, duck
Nice casual atmosphere. Decent service. A good number of options on their menu.
I was pleased with the fish, although I opted to substitute mashed (tasty!) for the chips. The coating on the haddock was nice and crispy. My friend was happy with her salmon tacos.
I'd go there again if I were back in that area.
Absolutely LOVE The Bench. Their food is always fantastic, and the service exceeds expectations, just a wonderful spot!
Dine in is definitely the preference for The Bench, nothing better than the fresh hot food right out of the kitchen.
I've gone here more than a handful of times over the past 3 years and am always so pleased walking out the door.
They have a separate ramp entrance / exit for accessibility and staff are so helpful and kind to all.
Their prices are reasonably high for their quality of food and service.
This was a great choice for dinner. There was a 25 minute wait and I asked if I could place an order to go and was told they’d stopped taking to go orders at 6. It was about 6:25. Then she suggested we go to the bartender and ask the bartender if she would take the order for it. She did one better and sat us at the bar.
I asked for suggestions for a local beer and she said all the beers were local. I had a pale ale that was perfect with the ribs which fell off the bone. Highly recommend.
My dinner date enjoyed the salmon tacos.
We are staying across the street at the Field Guide Inn so it was very convenient and fortunately really good. It’s worth checking out.
A friend and I had dinner here over the weekend. Overall, our experience was pretty basic. It’s clear they were overwhelmed from the influx of people for the eclipse and skiers for the late season snow. The mussel app was absolutely delicious and it is a must if you’re going here! It set unrealistic expectations for the rest of the meal. We both ordered different burgers off the menu, and while the toppings offered were good, both of our burgers were very over cooked. We both ordered medium rare and mine came out medium well at best and my friend’s well done. We both ordered a cocktail each, and both drinks were good. We didn’t received our drinks till after our app, which we had to ask the food runner to check on them. I would still recommend giving this place a try, especially for the mussel, but be cautious if they’re very busy. I believe our experience would have been much better if it weren’t as busy.
